With the first light of dawn, Amos rose from the comfortable bed, the softness a stark contrast to the hard earth he was accustomed to. He dressed in the clothes provided, the fabric rough against his skin. The cabin was quiet, the only sound the distant stirrings of the town coming to life. He checked the revolver at his side, the cold steel a comforting weight. The envelope with the map was tucked securely in his pocket, a silent promise of what lay ahead.
He stepped out into the crisp morning air, the chill a stark reminder of the harsh world he was about to reenter. The sun had just begun to peek over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the gold minning area. The cabin were already open, their doors swinging wide, spilling out the sour smell of last night’s excesses. The miners he passed on the street nodded in silent respect, the whispers of his deal with McBride having spread like wildfire.
As he approached the cabin, Amos could see a light flickering in the window of the cabin behind it. The door was ajar, and he pushed it open without knocking. Inside, Sir Edmund McBride sat at a desk laden with maps and ledgers, his accountant, Cornelius ‘Accurate’ Greene, perched on a stool beside him. The room was cluttered with the trappings of wealth—fine rugs, velvet drapes, and gleaming brass fixtures that had no place in this mine area. The contrast was stark, a testament to the power gold wielded over men.
McBride looked up from his work, his eyes sharp and calculating. “Ah, Mr. McIntyre,” he said, his voice as smooth as the whiskey he had no doubt been enjoying the night before. “I trust you rested well?”
“As well as can be expected,” Amos replied, his hand on the butt of his gun.
McBride nodded, gesturing to the man beside him. “Allow me to introduce Cornelius Greene, my esteemed accountant,” he said with a flourish of his hand. “Cornelius keeps the books and the secrets, and he’s as sharp as a tack.”
Greene, a thin man with spectacles perched on his nose, offered a curt nod, his eyes flicking over Amos with a blend of curiosity and suspicion. His fingers, stained with ink, hovered over the ledgers like a spider waiting for prey. The room was suffused with the scent of leather and parchment, the tools of their trade.
McBride reached into a drawer and pulled out a large map, the corners curled and the ink faded from repeated handling. He unfurled it on the desk with a flourish, revealing a sprawling web of territories and claims. “This,” he said, his finger stabbing at a spot in the middle of the map, “is where we’re headed. It’s called the Coyote’s stead. Heard of it?”
Amos leaned over the map, his eyes narrowing as he studied the area. “Can’t say I have,” he replied, his voice as level as the desert plains outside. “But it’s a big town, full of places that ain’t seen the light of day in years.”
McBride chuckled, pouring himself a drink from a decanter on his desk. “Ah, you’ve got a keen eye, Mr. McIntyre,” he said, raising the glass in a toast. “But let me enlighten you. This place, it’s different from the rest. It’s a town that lives in the shadows, that feasts on the night.”
Greene leaned in, his eyes glinting. “The Coyote’s Stead is a place where the law is just a myth, and the strong survive,” he whispered, his voice as dry as the desert sand.
“But fear not,” McBride interjected, his smile widening as he took a sip of his whiskey. “With you by my side, we’ll be the predators, not the prey. Our destination is a gold claim that I’ve had my eyes on for some time, but the current owner, Mr. Russell ‘Ace High’ Case, is a man of ... particular tastes.”
Amos raised an eyebrow. “Tastes?”
Sir Edmund nodded, his eyes gleaming. “Mr. Case has a penchant for the dramatic, you see,” he said, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “He’s a man who enjoys his comforts, and he’s surrounded himself with a small army of bandits to ensure they remain within his grasp.”
Cornelius coughed into his hand, his eyes not leaving the map. “The route we take is fraught with danger, Mr. McIntyre,” he warned, his voice nasally. “Those hills are riddled with their hiding places. But fear not,” he added hastily, “we’ve made this journey before.”
Sir Edmund leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers. “Indeed, we have,” he said. “But not with someone of your ... persuasion. You see, my dear Amos, we are going to play a little game with Mr. Russell ‘Ace High’ Case.” He chuckled, the sound like gravel in a churning river. “We’re going to send our gold in the cargo carriage, right under his nose, while you and Mr. Cornell get ride ahead.”
Greene cleared his throat, his eyes flicking to the map before focusing on Amos. “We’ve arranged for a ... diversion,” he said, a malicious smile tugging at his thin lips. “A bit of a spectacle to keep the bandits busy while we slip in and take back what is rightfully ours. You two will arrive at the Coyote’s Stead first, find Ace High, and persuade him to hand over the deed to the claim.”
McBride leaned forward, his smile turning feral. “And I don’t need to tell you what happens if that gold doesn’t make it back to me,” he warned. “You’re not just a guard, Mr. McIntyre. You’re an investor in this venture. Your success is my company success.”
Amos met his gaze, his own smile cold as the steel of his revolver. “I understand the terms,” he said. “But I’ll need better tools for the job.”
McBride’s eyes lit up, the glint of greed unmistakable. “Ah, you’ve come to the right place,” he said, gesturing to a rack of weapons on the far wall. “Pick your poison.”
Amos scanned the array of firearms—shotguns, carbines, and an assortment of pistols. His hand hovered over a gleaming Winchester rifle, its polished wood stock a stark contrast to the grime that coated the rest of the room. He hefted it, feeling the balance and the heft of the weapon. It was a thing of beauty, a tool of precision and power.
McBride nodded, his smile widening. “Ah, I see you have an eye for quality,” he said, his voice oily. “That’s a fine choice, Mr. McIntyre. It’ll serve you well in the hands of a man such as yourself.” He turned to the accountant. “Cornelius, fetch two sets of ammunition for Mr. McIntyre.”
As Greene scurried away, Amos turned the rifle over in his hands, his eyes lingering on the gleaming metal. It was a weapon capable of bringing down a man—or a legend—from a distance. The thought of using it on Amsden the Scar sent a thrill through his veins, but he knew the task at hand required focus.
McBride’s voice broke through his thoughts. “Let’s get you ready for the journey,” he said, standing up. His boots thudded on the wooden floorboards as he led Amos to the door. The accountant reappeared, holding out two leather pouches filled with gleaming cartridges. “Your ammo,” he said with a nod.
They stepped out into the bright sunlight, their shadows long and stark on the dusty ground. The stable was a short walk away, the sound of restless horses and the creak of leather echoing through the alleyways. The stench of manure and sweat hung heavy in the air, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the Old West.
Inside, Sir Edmund McBride led them to a sleek, black carriage, its gold trim glinting in the sun. Old Jerry, the mustache driver, was already there, his eyes narrowed and suspicious. His mustache, a thick, greying tangle that looked like it had seen more than its fair share of trouble, twitched as he took in the sight of Amos and his new employer.
“This is Old Jerry,” McBride said, slapping the man on the shoulder. “He’ll be taking us to the Coyote’s Stead. And this,” he said, gesturing to the stable boy holding the reins of a magnificent stallion, “is your steed for the journey. The best horseflesh in the West.”
Amos took in the animal with a practiced eye. It was a fine creature, its coat shining in the early morning light. The horse snorted and pawed the ground, eager to be off. Amos knew that a bond with his mount was crucial in the lawless lands they were about to traverse. He stepped closer, offering his hand to the stallion’s muzzle. The horse nickered and took the offered treat, its eyes trusting.
With a nod to McBride, Amos swung into the saddle, the leather creaking beneath him. The accountant, Mr. Greene, was already seated in the carriage, his nose buried in a ledger, scribbling furiously with a quill. Old Jerry took his place at the reins with a grumble.
The town of the mine grew smaller in the distance as they left the mine area, the cacophony of early morning laborers fading into a muffled hum. The carriage lurched into motion, the steady clip-clop of the horses’ hooves echoing through the deserted streets. Amos felt a strange mix of excitement and dread, the promise of gold and the looming specter of Amsden the Scar weighing on his shoulders.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, they passed through the outskirts of town, the shanties and makeshift buildings giving way to the rugged wilderness that stretched out before them like a canvas painted in shades of brown and grey. The carriage rolled along the dusty trail, leaving a plume of dust in their wake.
Amos rode alongside, the reins of his horse held loosely in one hand, the rifle resting across his saddle in the other. He turned to Cornelius, who was peeking out from the carriage window, his nose still buried in the ledger. “We’ll be on the road for two days, maybe three,” he announced, his eyes scanning the horizon. “But it’s after the halfway point that we’ve got to watch our backs. That’s where the bandit territory starts.”
Cornelius looked up, his eyes narrowing behind his spectacles. “Bandits?” he squeaked, the quill in his hand pausing mid-stroke. “We’ve got enough firepower to deter any troublemakers,” he said, his voice trying to sound braver than it was.
“Maybe,” Amos replied, his eyes never leaving the horizon. “But out here, it’s not just bandits you’ve gotta watch for.” He spat a wad of tobacco onto the ground. “There’s animals, the harsh weather, and the land itself. And that’s before we even get to the Coyote’s Stead.”
The accountant paled slightly, swallowing hard. “What’s so special about this place?” he asked, his voice quivering.
