Eleven

The sound of the horses pounding in the street outside brought Lew Agry hurrying to his office window. But the tongue-lashing he planned for Pecos and Lafe died aborning. It was not his deputies hurrying past but Gomez and three Del Cuervo vaqueros.

Now what? the sheriff thought irritably. According to Simon it was going to take Gomez forty-eight hours. What was he doing here tonight? Had Don Pedro reneged? Was there a counter offer? He swung back to the desk and poured liquor into his glass. Whatever it was, they’d have to come to Lew Agry. Lew held the trumps this time around.

That thought flowed effortlessly into another, one not so satisfying, and for the tenth time within the last hour he glanced at the wall clock and wondered where his missing men were. And that brought his mind full circle to the big worry: Abe Carbo.

Lew knew he could handle the gunman. If it came to that, he’d take him. He slammed the glass down. But why should it ever have to come to that? What the hell did he have all those deputies for, anyhow? By hell, they’d feel his spurs when they showed up.
