Crossing the parade ground, Jenny decided she had no choice but to return to Folsom. After concluding her business with the quartermaster, she was anxious to confide in Gran and ask her to keep Robby at the fort. But by the time she returned to the store, Gran was so busy Jenny had no time to talk to her until early evening.

Later, Gran cut off Jenny’s expressions of gratitude for taking Robby, but she did urge Jenny to use caution. “Maybe the major has the right of it. Sounds like it was a rough bunch your Sam—I mean, Charmas—rode with.”

“He didn’t kill Mave Allison. The rest of the story I can’t deny. He was good with his gun. Ben thought so, too.

“Well, if you’re set on doin’ this, wait a day. I’ve a few favors owed me. Belen Tome runs the largest of saloons in the flat and might know somethin’ ‘bout these men you say Charmas was trackin’.”

“Gran, I can’t tell you much about them. Mac Peters said one of them has yellow eyes, and dressed all in black. The other ones carries a fancy knife he tends to play with while he talks. They had to be the two men Sam—I mean Charmas—followed.”

“Ain’t you forgettin’ the belt Charmas was wearing? Stands to reason that he might’ve killed this Saul Lomas. He was riding a bay horse without a brand and those men had his. A Rocking K brand could stand for Kilkenny. So we know there was a third man. Not much else makes sense.”

“Sense? You can still talk about making sense of any of this?” Jenny’s hands spread wide in a gesture of dismay. ‘This is a nightmare; it has been from the moment I shot him.”

“All the more we should be pitying Charmas Kilkenny. What must all this seem like to him?”
