Station West Page #5

Hey, wait a minute. You're not fired.

I gotta be. There ain't work enough

here for one man, let alone two..

Two can loaf as easy as one.

Whitey!

This is the new boss, just took over.

Whitey here runs the freight

up to the sawmill.

This is Jim Goddard,

the regular stage driver.

- Hello, fellas. I don't need the keys.

- Oh.

I saw that fight last night.

It was sure a beauty.

Let's not talk about that.

Right now, it hurts my hand to listen.

I'm supposed to leave here

for the sawmill before daybreak.

Is that all right, Mr. Haven?

- Yeah, I guess that's all right.

- Thank you, sir.

What happened to you?

On my last run, I stopped a bullet.

- Get a good look at them?

- I wish I had.

The only thing here that work.

Son, I wasted my time here.

I might as well waste some advice.

You're full of blood and vinegar.

But this whole thing has got

something wrong with it.

Goddard only got a nick in the knee.

You may not be so lucky.

I might depend on something

besides luck.

Like what?

On the fact, they don't

pay to shoot so straight.

They don't need to when

they shoot so often.

Worry it over.

I think I'm gonna need you.

But not on one leg.

Take it easy.

Yes, sir.

- What's all this?

- Something, ain't it?

Yeah. Who's is it?

Miss Charlie's, Mr. Haven.

Where do you drive her?

Same places.

Around the hills, down the river.

- Every afternoon.

- Yes?

I think I'll give you the afternoon off.

I shouldn't let you do this, sir.

But I am.

Miss Charlie may not like this.

I will.

Does this Haven move me out?

Is that the play?

Prince, you know I

wouldn't part with you.

I always come up empty.

Not quite.

No.

What's the matter, Prince?

I do not like Haven

or anything about him.

You said that before.

What do you know about him?

What do you want me to do?

Have him looked up in

the Social Registry?

The man walked in out of nowhere.

And went against your table.

- Did he play like a gambler?

- He knew something.

Yes and he took Mick down.

So he knows how to fight.

You like that part, don't you?

I'll tell you one thing, Prince.

I don't like this part.

You know, Prince,

I always find you in good company.

Stand there a second.

Every time I see you,

you look different.

But you always look beautiful.

Why is that?

I always have someone to lie to me.

You can take my hand

if you won't squeeze it.

Now tell me what are you

doing with my buggy?

It's my work.

I'm the new transportation boss.

You hired me.

Where to?

I'm going to call on a gentleman.

At this hour?

His name is Mark Bristow.

At any hour, it'll be strictly business.

The way you say it,

you may need a lawyer.

He's a lawyer himself
