Longarm 242: Red-Light

Thompson nodded. “Sure. You headin’ up to Virginny City?”
“That’s the last place anybody saw Mallory, and everybody’s convinced that he’s the one behind the holdups. Seems like the best place to start.” Longarm turned and headed down the street toward the nearest livery stable, carrying his saddle and rifle.

And promised her that he would come see her in Virginia City.
The owner of the livery stable must have seen that Longarm was in no mood to haggle. He named a fair price for the rental of a horse, and Longarm picked out a rangy line-bred dun with a mean look in its eyes and a broad chest that indicated it had plenty of stamina.MoreLess
