Morning Star (2011)
Morning Star
““What am I supposed to do with this bunch?”
“Lock them up. They’ve broken the law, run away.”
“So send them back to their owner.”
“And who would that be? We’re thinking we’ll have our own sale. They can stay here till we’re ready.”
“How long will that take?”
“Don’t know. Not long, I expect.”
The marshal sucked on his teeth and sighed through them.
“Get down, then, all of you.” Cleo stood shakily, swayed a bit on her feet. Flower stood up and put her body against her ...mother’s, trying to support her. Gabriel stayed scrunched and silent in his sling. The marshal and the driver reached up and helped them down, but offered no assistance to Eldon, who stumbled clumsily, his wrists in a bloodied knot behind his back. A small crowd gathered to watch as they were shepherded into the jail.
One man spit at them, his saliva splatting at Cleo’s feet.MoreLess
