CHAPTER 10 

Doc stood behind Caleb.

Smoke curled from his revolver.

Caleb stared.

“You?”

Doc smiled.

“You were taking too long.”

Pike was dead.

The chamber was silent.

Caleb looked at Doc.

“I thought you were dying.”

“I am.”

“How long?”

Doc smiled.

“Long enough.”

He coughed hard.

Blood appeared on his hand.

Caleb looked away.

“Don’t.”

Doc laughed.

“You hate seeing me like this.”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

He looked toward the gold.

“Take it.”

“What?”

“Give it to the town.”

Caleb stared.

Doc continued.

“Every family Pike ruined.”

“Every farm.”

“Every widow.”

“Pay them.”

Caleb nodded.
