Jasper’s gun was on the ground, several feet from his foot.

He was curled behind a large, smooth rock near the back of the cave, crying silently, his face covered in snot and tears. When he had seen Henri enter the cave, her face covered in the monstrous grimace of a bone-and-tooth smile, he instantly relieved himself. But Henri, she spoke nary a word upon entering the cave. Her eyes turned a shade of sadness they hadn’t in some time as she stared down at Sharpe’s motionless body, his eyes closed. There was an unfamiliar sting, the onset of salty tears to long-dry eyes.

“Were you the one that shot him?” Henri asked the cowering Jasper Dupart. Her voice was deeper, angrier, her eyes thin slates of judgment and anger. Her fingers tensed over the triggers of both guns, though they were still pointed down.

“You…you the devil…you…”

Jasper was too far gone, too scared to speak coherently.

“No,” answered Anson, on behalf of Jasper.

Henri turned back to Anson and her thundering eyes grew gentle once more.

With the barrel of her gun, she gained Jasper’s attention, lifting his chin to look her in the face.

“Get out,” she whispered, then added, “Leave the boots.”

With her foot on his gun, Henri Ville moved aside so the blubbering mess that was Jasper Dupart could remove Curtis’ boots and leave the cave. He ran full speed and kept running in the opposite direction from that of his men. His whining sob could be heard even after he was out of sight; then that, too, was gone.

For the moment, Henri Ville and Anson Sharpe were alone.
