Iron Eyes, No. 1
“He lay for an instant upon his back on the soft, clean bed, staring at the white ceiling above his head.
His steel-grey pupils studied the cracks in the plaster as his mind raced.
His head felt foggy as he lay upon the bed, then he recalled the wine. The ever-flowing wine of the previous evening.
Then his highly tuned senses became aware of the reason he had woken so suddenly from a deep slumber.
The aroma of a cigar had drifted across him, filling his nostrils.
Iron Eyes knew that he was not a...lone.
Turning his head slightly, he focused upon the seated figure of Valdez. He had two vaqueros standing behind him, holding their .45s across their hearts. They were emotionless as they stood guard over their master. Only their blinking black eyes moved as they watched the prostrate man.
