Chapter 7

On his way with the Phantom outlaw gang to Colorado City, Gabriel spent much of that time thinking about how badly upset Julianna felt, before he left the outlaw camp. If only she would have let him explain things this morning, then she'd know the truth and understand. She would understand . . . wouldn't she? Living with outlaws every day was his life now. But could she accept that? Would she be willing to marry a man that did that for a meager living?

Julianna was the daughter of Governor Whitaker. Gabriel knew the governor would want her to marry a man of wealth, just like Dora's father had wanted . . .

Dora . . . Being in love with her, had gotten her killed. Now he was in love with Julianna. Would his quest for vengeance, get himself or her killed too . . .?

The outlaw gang headed down along Bear Creek towards Colorado City. They always varied their routes, so that they did not go the same way out from the outlaw camp, as they went in. When they reached the outskirts of Colorado City, they headed for the Wolf's Den Saloon in the red light district.

They rode past Boyd Witcomb's blacksmith shop, and Patrick O'Brien the undertaker who went by the name of 'Bones'. Both of which looked to be keeping busy, as Boyd was busy shaping a horseshoe for a horse that was tied up there, and you could hear Bones hammering away on a wooden coffin.

Next door to Boyd's, was the livery stable owned by Rex Weaver. He was a short stocky man with sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes who walked with a prominent limp, from having mistreated a mule many years back.

Rex was cleaning out a stall in the livery stable, when the whole Phantom gang rode up and dismounted. Clayton, Ted, and Victor headed into the stable leading their horses, while the rest of the outlaw gang tied their horses up outside at the hitching posts.

"Rex, you old limping dog, where are you?" Clayton called out, as he looked around for Rex Weaver.

"Over here," Rex hollered back to Clayton, as he stepped out of the stall he was cleaning, to where Clayton could see him.

"I want you to groom and feed all of our horses. Make sure to grain them good, and have them all ready to go at daybreak. The rest are tied up out front," ordered Clayton to the short livery man, as he flipped a golden eagle into the air to him. He left his horse standing there as he turned and walked back out the way he came in. Ted and Victor looped their horse's reins around a barn post, and turned and followed Clayton out the front, to where the rest of the gang had tied their horses.

Most of the Phantom gang had already headed to the Wolf's Den Saloon for a beer and a shot of whiskey. Tate had led the string of pack horses into town.
