Slocum #396 : Slocum And the Scavenger Trail (9781101554371) (2012)
“Even with his quick reflexes, he almost died from the slug that ripped past him. He hit the ground hard, rolled, and got off a quick shot at the treacherous guide. Gunnison, for all his bulk, moved as fast as Slocum and came to a full sitting position.
Slocum kept rolling and firing. His aim was off, and Gunnison wasn’t the least bit scared of being hit. Slocum’s only luck came in the direction he had dived. He forced Gunnison to twist about and fire awkwardly across his body, never quite able ...to get a clean shot.
The last twist brought Slocum to his belly, elbows on the ground for support. He squeezed off a round aimed straight for the guide’s face. The hammer fell on a dud. The metallic click brought a snort of triumph from the guide.
Gunnison came to his knees, rifle butt snugged to his shoulder.
“Don’t know who you are, other ’n dead,” Gunnison said. He fired at the same time that Slocum cocked and fired again.
Slocum winced as hot pain dragged along his left arm. He cocked his Colt for another shot but saw it wasn’t necessary.MoreLess
