The Desperadoes Page #3

It's Nitro.

Oh, my boudoir!

Cheyenne, welcome to Red Valley.

How do you like the little blowout

I gave you?

You big zombie, you...

I told you to leave that nitroglycerin alone.

I was leaving it alone.

But you see, if it gets a little too warm

or a little too cold...

- My knee.

- What's the matter? You hurt?

Yeah, that marble top fell on it.

- Help me.

- Help him? I'll break his other leg.

Don't pick on me. I ain't done nothing.

- Countess. What...

- There's nothing to get excited about.

Just a lamp exploded.

Tim, get inside.

The rest of you, go back to work.

Go on, hurry up. Shut the doors.

Take it easy. Tim, look at his leg, will you?

The bottle that went off was just that big.

Any bigger, and you'd be picking me up

with a spoon.

I wish we were!

Funny how a little noise upsets a woman.

They won't believe

that exploded lamp story.

The help here get enough pay

to believe anything.

I'll send Nitro after you

as soon as he can ride.

I hope it's before he blows me all over Utah.

I'm staying.

Cheyenne, this town is right on the railroad.

Somebody's bound to come through

and spot you.

- We won't be here for long.

- But why sit around and wait for him?

I was sitting in a jail in Colorado

and Nitro waited for me.

When he was through waiting,

I bet there was no jail left.

Just a hole in the ground.

Please go. I'll take good care of him.

Don't you see? I can't leave a man

who'd put his neck in a noose to save me.

Sure. I see.

You just want to commit suicide.

- Hello, Steve.

- Hello, Allison.

- You look like you could use another horse.

- I sure could.

- But how did you know?

- You tell me how you lost your horse first.

- Somebody held a gun on me and we traded.

- Know him?

I didn't see him.

He made me keep my back turned.

A horse was brought in today

with red mud on him.

The kind you run into

on the way to Basin City.

So I came out here expecting

to find somebody dead or walking.

You mean somebody brought my horse

in the stable?

Who?

I don't remember his name.

Sure you can't remember anything

about him, Allison?

Yes, Steve. The way I remember him,

he wouldn't come out last in a gun fight.

He seems awfully quick, Steve.

Have you ever seen how fast I can duck?

Don't tell me you're going to break down

and worry about me.

Don't you think it's about time?

Evening, Miss McLeod.

Hello. Your horse is back there.

Thanks.

Hello, brother.

Reach.

Reach, and don't turn around.

You're under arrest.

I got him, Steve.

You certainly did.

First time a woman

ever finished a fight for me.

Get some water, Allison.

This is a friend of mine.

- A friend?

- Yeah, hurry up.
