A Dangerous Man (2014)
“Go elsewhere.” Perry Cox stood behind the bank counter next to a frightened clerk who looked like he was about to puke.
“You’re refusing my hundred dollar deposit, Cox?” Longley asked.
“If it comes from your pocket, it’s bound to be tainted money,” the banker said. “I want no part of you or your deposit.”
“Uppity this morning, ain’t you?” Longley’s eyes looked like they’d been chipped from flint.
But, like many heavy, big-bellied men, Cox was not easily intimidated. “Longley, Tom Archer was a r...espected man in this town and that’s why we want you out of it.”
Longley’s smile was thin as the edge of a knife. “I’ll go when I’m ready, Cox. Not a minute before.”
“Don’t count on it,” Cox said. “We have a noose all ready for you.”
“That’s been tried before. And the men who tried it are all dead.” Longley picked up his money, smirked at Cox, and barged out the door into the street.
He had no wish to pick a fight with Cox. But maybe he’d get a chance to gun the banker later.MoreLess
