Friday Morning – First Week
Bright and early on this day, Cort and Morgan made their way to the Mercantile for more ammunition. The topic of the day: the arrival of Renn Frayne and his men and why they were in town.
“I think I’ve heard of this guy Frayne.” Morgan noted.
“Yeah, he was quite a gun fighter years ago. I remember Herod meeting up with him for some job. But they didn’t get along—both were too headstrong.”
“Should we be watching him more than Virgil suggested?” Morgan asked.
“No, I think once he got married and settled down, he pretty much hung his guns up. This threat to her ranch has him worried. Still, like Virgil said, he and his men can’t be doing anything illegal even if they catch up with the rustlers. Just don’t engage him in a gun fight,” Cort advised. Morgan whistled sharply.
“Oh, no, not me. I don’t engage anyone in a gun fight!” he said vehemently. Cort laughed.
“Wise decision.”
