“Gordon came over with four mugs of beer.
“Back to the bar, Private,” Washington said.
“Yessir.”
There were others in the place, but by the time Gordon returned to his place at the bar, they had all cleared out. All that was left was the bartender.
“What’s this all about, Lem?” Bass Reeves asked. “You can’t expect the Buffalo Soldiers to take you back after what you’ve all done.”
“Well,” Washington said, “nobody knows we done it except for you and Adams here. So all we gotta do is make sure you ...don’t tell nobody.”
“How do you expect to do that?”
“Well…we could kill you,” Washington said.
“That’s why you led me here?” Reeves asked. “To kill me? Is that why you did all of this? To get me to hunt you?”
“Not to hunt us,” Washington said. “To find us, which you did. You’re good at yer job, Bass. I was countin’ on that.”
Reeves sat back and regarded the man. Clint wondered what the relationship was between them. It was something he’d have to ask Reeves later, when they were alone.MoreLess
