.45-Caliber Firebrand
“Through the wafting dust, Cuno saw the other two, eager-eyed waddies leaping over the bunkhouse’s porch rail, while a stocky Chinaman in a long white apron and a wolf hat with earflaps came running out of the cookhouse wielding a spatula in one hand, a cast-iron skillet in the other.
“It’s a fight, boys!” the Chinaman bellowed.
Cuno pushed up on his knees. Rage surged in him. As Quirt lifted his head from the dirt, Cuno rammed his right fist into the segundo’s broad cheek. Quirt’s head snapped ...back, and he cursed shrilly, spittle frothing on his lips.
Cuno gained his feet and stepped back, realizing his mistake when he saw the other two drovers closing on him, grinning malevolently, crouching and balling their hands at their sides. He’d forgotten about the German until he backed into a stout, yielding object that smelled like rancid sweat and chewing tobacco.
Hahnsbach grabbed him with a savage grunt and pinned his arms behind his back.
Quirt grinned as he pushed off his knees, his longish brown hair blowing around his head, his leather hat having piled up against the horse stables.MoreLess
