After Jesus and the others turned back, Pete said. “We’d best circle round that village and head back to Tarrant.” “Maybe Ranger Cool has returned from Fort Belknap with reinforcements.” “We know where Black has holed up for now and he can’t cross the border.” “Brett Black knows the Federales are after him and have no plans to take him alive.”

Irish-Pat finished off the bottle of whiskey that Maddog had given him and wobbled out of the Saloon, across the dusty road, almost getting run over by a supply wagon, and headed straight for the Sheriff's Office. "It'll take more than one bottle of that watered down rock gut to get me drunk." he said to himself under his boozy breath. A wiley grin appeared on his face as he was proud of himself for having the ability to fool people into thinking he was the town drunk.

After getting his Deputy Ranger badge Rye decided to get a room for the night and let his leg heal some. He was having some pain. He took a bottle upstairs with him and asked the clerk if he could order food. The clerk said "Do you want Rosie to deliver it or do you just want the regular meal"? the clerk said with a smirk. "I'd love Rosie but not tonight my leg is killing me I need some food, whiskey and I need to be left alone for the night" The clerk shyly grinned and said, "Yes Sir what you you like"? "Steak and eggs" said Rye and make it quick please I'm starving"!

As Pete and Ranger Ed approached Tarrant, Pete said, “Maybe we better hold off until dusk, then slip into the jail by the back.” “Jim York will know what’s happened around town since we left with the posse.” “We can let him know where the Black gang is holed up and see if Ranger Cool is back.”

After dark Ed and Pete slipped into the jail by the back door. Sheriff York was alone and listened to what they had to report. “I’ll get Ranger Cool and be right back.” Said the Sheriff. Once Ranger Cool was there, Pete told him of the situation in Valle de Bravo.

Maddog met the train and 3 men got off. One walked up to  him and he handed him a letter. He looked at it and got back on the train.

The other two men, Halfbreed Lou, expert tracker and scout, and Mathis, former army medic and gunsmith walked up to Maddog. "Come to my office, I need 2 depuities" They nodded and followed Maddog to his office.

Rye awoke suddenly when the door to his room swung open with a crash! A shot rang out and just missed his head as he rolled out of bed in shock. The person fled out of the room, Rye, in just his long johns, got up and ran to the door and saw the man run out the front door of the hotel.  Rye yelled, "Stop that guy, he tried to kill me"!!

The man took his last breath as Rye sighed deeply, "What the hell?" Who is this man?" He looked in his pockets and found 2 twenty dollar gold pieces, and a stage ticket to Tucson that was good for the next stage out of town. No other signs of any identification.  Hector said "I'm sorry I meant to just wound him Senor, I'm sorry he died, do you know him?" Rye shook his head and said, "No, and he doesn't look familiar at all". Not your fault my friend you tried to help said Rye to Hector as he extended his hand to shake. "Let me go put some pants on and I'll buy you guys a drink" said Rye as the Sheriff approached the scene.

The sheriff asks Rye, Why do you think this man was trying to kill you?" Rye thought for a few seconds and said, Sheriff, I got into a beef with some cattle rustlers a few months back while I was working as a foreman for the big Carson ranch up near Yuma". I shot and killed one of the rustlers and we captured one and 3 of them got away". Maybe this could be related to that, it's the only thing I can think of"!!

As they waited for the Sheriff to return Ed and Pete heard the shooting out in the street. Ed jumped up and headed for the door, Pete said, “Hold it pard, no one knows we’re here but the Sheriff, we want to keep it that way for now.” “Let’s wait for Cool or Jim to get back.” “You know Jim ain’t been gone long enough to be involved in that fracas.” “He’ll be back soon and then we’ll learn what happened.”

After finding out that it was one of Black's gang Rye said, "What are we waiting for, let's go get these varmints"!

Rye couldn't get anyone to go along so he decided he'd had enough of this town. He heard there was a new ranger outfit starting up in Arizona. He thanked Ranger Cool for giving him the badge and gave it back to him and thanked Pat for helping him while his leg healed. "I'm outta here boys" said Rye with a tip of the hat!

Miguel, the boy from Valle de Bravo, charged into Tarrant on his burro. The poor beast was exhausted after the trip and nearly collapsed in front of the Sheriff’s office. “Where is Senior Pete ?” Shouted Miguel. When Pete appeared in the doorway he said, “Senior Pete, they have left, Senior Black’s gang have gone to Mexico.” “Our village is no more captured by those evil men.” Pete said, “Miguel, come in and get some food and water and tell me all that has happened”

Svede gets on the train and reads the letter from Maddog. "Get 2 ex-members of Brett black's gang for scapegoats.  You have 3 days to find them. Will meet you on day 4 at #3 hideout."

Having said their goodbyes to Rye and wishing him the best in his endeavors, Sheriff York and Ranger Cool headed for the Sheriff’s Office. It was time to get ready to head to Fort Belknap to escort the shipment of gold to Fort Worth. Stepping onto the boardwalk just down from the Jail, a sharp, high pitched whistling sound pierced the air, followed by the sound of lead piercing skin. Sheriff York fell backwards into the dusty street, his legs resting in a mangled mess, eyes wide open and the trickle of blood oozing from his right eye.

 

**** TO BE CONTINUED ****
