Rose nodded and loosened her hold on his wrist.

Edge shook his head, sighed, faced front again and started the group moving as he said: ‘I was going to ask the same question she did. What exactly do you fellers have that we ain’t got already? Why do we need you along except as a couple of extra guns if Mountain Lion and his renegades jump us?’

Dingle said anxiously: ‘Look, I feel that we should all come to some form of agreement to be a part of one group before we start to trade any information.’

Edge countered: ‘As far as I know, we’ve got all the information we need for what we aim to do, feller.’

Dingle showed a faint smile that was almost an underplayed smirk. He spoke in a very distinct tone as he listed: ‘You know the place where the massacre happened.

And you know how much cash was stolen. You know the names of the two troopers who stole it and deserted: one of them now dead for certain and the other maybe. But it’s my opinion that you could spend the rest of your lives looking for the money without ever finding it.’ His triumph was almost as childishly smug as Conners’ had been earlier.

‘Like a bunch of mountain crazy gold grubbers who don’t even know what to look for that shows where there’s paydirt in the ground under their feet!’ Conners challenged.

‘You know what I think?’ Crooked Eye asked.

Conners rasped: ‘I don’t give a shit what the hell some lousy – ‘

‘The way Ches and me see it, you have no say in this matter, young man,’ Dingle cut in, his tone a little less insultingly contemptuous than Conners. ‘If you are going to have some of the spoils it will have to be paid out of other people’s shares. Certainly neither Chester nor I will agree to give you – ‘

‘I know that!’ the young Comanche snapped. ‘I wish for nothing: except not to be made to go back to live with the Comanche!’
