The following day, they pushed their horses harder, their eyes peeled for any sign of pursuit. The land grew more rugged and inhospitable, the sun beating down on them like a merciless hammer. The gold in the suitcase weighed on their minds as heavily as it weighed on their saddles. They knew that every step they took brought them closer to their goal, but also closer to potential danger.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky with fiery hues, they spotted the river that marked the boundary of Coyote’s Stead. It was a sight for sore eyes, a ribbon of life cutting through the desolate landscape. The river whispered promises of safety, a natural barrier that would make it more difficult for Ace High’s men to follow.
They approached the water’s edge cautiously, the sound of their hooves muffled by the soft earth. The river was swollen from recent rains, its banks lined with tall grasses that swayed gently in the evening breeze. The water was murky and fast-moving, a silent witness to the countless tales of fortune and fate that had played out along its banks.
“This is it,” Amos said, his voice a mix of relief and determination. “Once we cross the river, we’re in the clear.”
With that, they urged their horses into the river, the water swirling around them like a living thing trying to pull them under. The cold shock was a stark contrast to the heat of the day, stealing the breath from their lungs. But they pushed on, the water rising to their horses’ chests, the animals’ muscles straining against the current.
On the far side, they climbed out of the river, soaked and shivering, but alive. They watched the water rush by, carrying with it the last remnants of the town’s influence. They were free of Coyote’s Stead, but the shadow of Ace High lingered, a specter that wouldn’t be easily shaken.
Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by the harsh metallic clicks of gun hammers being drawn. Amos and Greene spun around, their hearts in their throats. From the big stones and twisted trees that lined the riverbank, bandits emerged like venomous snakes from their nests, their eyes cold and greedy. One by one, the crimson scarfs tied around their necks became visible, a grim reminder of the gang they served.
The two friends found themselves surrounded, a ring of steel and malice closing in. The bandits were a rough-looking bunch, their faces etched with lines of hard living and their eyes glinting with the promise of violence. They had been waiting, laying in ambush for their quarry to emerge from the treacherous waters, and now they had them in their sights.
“Think you’re smart, don’t ya?” one of the bandits sneered, his voice a rasping drawl that seemed to come from the very depths of the ravine. “Taking the gold and leaving us with that empty carriage. But we ain’t fools. We know Ace High don’t take kindly to being cheated.”
Greene’s grip tightened on his Colt, his eyes darting around the circle of men. “We didn’t cheat no one,” he spat. “We took what was rightfully ours.”
The bandit with the rasping drawl took a step closer, a smug smirk playing across his lips. “We saw Old Jerry come back without you, his carriage lighter than a whore’s conscience on Sunday morning. You think we’re that stupid?”
Another bandit spoke up, his eyes glinting with a sadistic glint. “Ace High ain’t gonna rest ‘til he gets his gold back. And if he finds out we let you slip through our fingers, well, let’s just say we’ll be joining your little escort to the afterlife.”
With a barked order from the leader, the bandits descended upon them, roughly disarming Amos and Greene, ripping the suitcase from the saddle with a triumphant shout. The gold spilled out into the moonlit dirt, glinting like the eyes of a thousand venomous snakes. The leader’s smirk grew wider as he kicked the suitcase open, watching the gold coins scatter.
“Looks like you two hit the jackpot,” the leader sneered, his teeth gleaming in the firelight. “But it’s ours now.” He turned to his men, gesturing to Amos and Greene with a casual wave of his gun. “Shoot ‘em, boys. We’re gonna have ourselves a little fun before we send them to meet their Maker.”
The bandits’ grins grew wider, their eyes hungry for the violence to come. They raised their weapons, the moon casting a cold light on their faces as they took aim.
But before the first shot could ring out, the night was shattered by the deafening roar of gunfire from every direction. Bullets tore through the air, a cacophony of death that seemed to come from the very earth itself. The bandits’ expressions of triumph twisted into confusion and fear as the first of their number fell, their bodies jerking like rag dolls in a whirlwind of lead.
Amos and Greene stumbled back, stunned by the sudden turn of events. They watched as the crimson scarfs grew still, the bandits’ eyes glazing over, their greed-filled grins frozen in eternal surprise. The sound of the river was lost in the symphony of chaos that had engulfed them.
When the dust settled, they saw that every single bandit lay lifeless on the ground, their weapons scattered around them like the leaves of a poisoned tree. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and the metallic tang of fresh blood. The quiet that followed was deafening, a stark contrast to the hellish din that had just filled their ears.
McBride emerged from the shadows, his eyes gleaming with a fierce pride that belied his age. Behind him, the miners of Coyote’s Stead stepped into the moonlight, their faces grim, their rifles still smoking from the battle that had just taken place. They had seen the gold-laden carriage return, and they had recognized the crimson scarfs of Ace High’s gang.
The two friends stared at the bodies around them, their chests heaving with fear and shock. “You two alright?” McBride’s gruff voice cut through the silence, his eyes scanning them for injuries.
Amos nodded, his hand still hovering over his holster, the echoes of the gunfight still ringing in his ears. “We are,” he managed to say, his voice shaking slightly.
McBride’s expression softened slightly. “Good,” he said gruffly. “When Old Jerry got back and told us what happened, I knew you’d be in for a world of hurt. These aren’t the kind of folks that take kindly to being outsmarted.”
He stepped closer to the two men, the moon casting long shadows across his lined face. “You see, after you left, I had a little chat with the miners. Told them about Mr. Ace High’s payment, that’s mean their salary too and how they were going to help me get it. So, they were more than willing to stand up and fight for what’s their own.”
Greene looked at the miners, their faces a mix of exhaustion and relief. “We owe you our lives,” he murmured.
“You owe us nothin’ but a good story,” one of the miners called out, a grin spreading across his dusty face. “We’ve had enough of Ace High’s crimes. It’s about time someone taught him a lesson he won’t forget.”
McBride nodded solemnly. “Aye, and you’ve done just that. Now, let’s get that gold out of here before anyone else gets itchy trigger fingers.” He turned to one of the miners, a burly man named Tom, and said, “Take the suitcase. We’ll divvy up the gold once we’re safe.”
The group mounted their horses, the weight of the gold now shared among them. They rode through the night, the only sounds their steady breathing and the rhythmic clop of hooves. The lawlessness of Coyote’s Stead felt like a distant memory, replaced by the quiet resolve that filled each of them. They had faced the worst the Old West had to offer and come out the other side, if not unscathed, then certainly unbowed.
