Gun Fury Page #6

---

Your man's dead.

It was his choice, not mine.

Next time you think of running away,

ask yourself where.

The answer's nowhere.

I took you because you're as alone as I am.

You look at me like that because you live

in a world that doesn't exist anymore.

We'd have met before the war, but we didn't.

And it's a different world now, the South.

A world with three armies:

an army of mourners,

an army of cripples, and an army of thieves.

Fortunately, I'm still in one piece

and no one's crying over me.

Fill the canteens, Jess.

- Seen the Slayton gang?

- They ain't working this part of the state.

- Wrong. I've been trailing them.

- Hear that, boys?

Man says the Slayton gang's

around here somewhere.

- You seen them?

- I was on the stage they held up.

- Go ahead. Help yourself.

- Thanks.

There's no more than seven or eight men.

- They don't know we're trailing them.

- Who's "we"?

I got a partner.

We could always use some more gun hands.

There's a pretty good reward

for the men who bring them in.

What reward have they got

for the men who try and don't?

They're right here in your own back yard.

If they want something from the ranches,

they'll take it.

Your women included.

Then they'll wish

they never came through this county.

Especially if they get a hold of my woman.

Your deal, Chuck.

Get ready. We're riding.

It's Vincente, one of the gang.

There were two of them.

No! We'll follow him.

Where's Vincente?

- I think they got him.

- Who got him?

I only saw one of them.

He said he was on that stage you held up.

- A big fellow?

- Yeah, real big.

- Wearing a grey shirt?

- That's him.

The other was outside.

They're trying to get a posse.

- That's been tried before. We're still here.

- They're on our trail.

- What if they run into an Army patrol?

- We'll get started right now.

And listen, it may not be Warren.

I don't want a word of this to the girl.

- I told you that woman would be trouble.

- He should have dumped her in the desert.

We're breaking camp.

It's no good. We have to stop awhile.

If Slayton crosses the border, we're licked.

Without horses, we're licked.

You can ride, but they need rest.

How far is it to Mexico?

That won't make any difference

to the horses.

All right, we'll rest awhile.

He tried to kill you, Jess. Why?

I think I know.

Have you seen me before?

Maybe he doesn't understand.

Him one of men who come and set fire.

They take our horses...

and my sister.

He's talking about the Taos raid.

I was there. But I didn't like what happened.

I tried to stop it.

That raid is one reason

I'm not with them now.

They took my woman.

He's helping me get her back.
