Rodrigo came out about an hour later, bade Clint good morning, and went into the kitchen to help his wife.

Mel Harker came out next, sat down with Clint, and poured some coffee into a mug Rodrigo had brought out for him.

“Breakfast?” Rodrigo asked.

Harker looked at Clint.

“We’ll wait for our other friends,” Clint said. “They should be here soon.”

“Sí, señor.”

When Rodrigo opened the front doors for the business day to start, the first ones through the door were Willie Piper and Jed Autry.

Rodrigo brought out more coffee, and all four men asked him to bring breakfast.

“Just bring everything,” Autry said. The big man had a huge appetite.

“You fellas sleep all right?” Harker asked. He was looking at Autry. “Your eyes are red.”

“He snores,” Autry said sourly.

“Why am I not surprised?” Harker asked.

“Hey, I can’t help it,” Piper said. “Besides, I’m used to living alone.”

“I think I know why,” Autry said.

“What’s that mean?” Piper demanded.

“It means I don’t think you could get a woman to live with you,” Harker said.

“I wouldn’t want no woman to live with me,” Piper said. “Females is more trouble than they’re worth.”

“No they ain’t,” Autry said.

“I’ve got to agree,” Clint said.

“Women,” Piper grumbled as if it were a dirty word.

“A woman cooked all this food,” Harker said.

“And that’s probably all they’re good for,” Piper said.

“Don’t let a woman who cooks your food hear you say that,” Harker advised.

Piper looked down at the breakfast burrito in his hand, then said, “Awww,” and bit into it.
