After he and Martha were dressed, they went downstairs.

“Have a nice talk?” Sally said.

“We sure did,” Fargo said.

Martha blushed furiously.

“That’s good. I like for all my visitors to enjoy themselves,” Sally said, enjoying Martha’s discomfort. “Stink’s waiting for you in the kitchen.”

Fargo went through the door, holding it open for Martha to follow him. Stink jumped up from his chair when they entered. He took off his hat and held it with both hands.

“Stink, this is Miss Martha Lawrence,” Fargo said.

“Pleased to meet you, ma’am,” Stink said, and Martha said she was happy to make his acquaintance.

“Miss Lawrence thinks you’re in trouble, Stink,” Fargo said. “She tells me that the judge and his friends have hired a man named Custis Kane to get you to tell him where the Bryans are hiding out.”

Stink went rigid and turned pale when he heard the news. “K-Kane’s not a man to fool around,” he said. “He’d as soon kill me as not.”

“Don’t worry,” Fargo said. “He’s not going to find you, and if he does, I’ll be with you.”

Stink relaxed. “That sounds good.”

“First thing, you and I will take Miss Lawrence home. Then we’ll decide what to do next.”

“Fine with me,” Stink said. He looked at Martha more carefully. “I sure do thank you for coming here to warn me.”

“You’re welcome,” Martha said. “I don’t like what’s going on, and I couldn’t think of anything else to do.”

“You did fine,” Fargo said. “Come on, Stink. Let’s walk the lady home.”
