The Devil Gun (2013)
“One of the bushwhackers brought him another plate of stew and mug of coffee soon after Ashley left, but the girl did not make another appearance. With the meal finished, Marsden was left to himself although the black silhouette on the tent’s wall showed that Thad stood guard outside. Sheer exhaustion brought sleep to him at last, even though his chains forced him to adopt an uncomfortable position.
Dawn’s grey light showed through the tent as Marsden opened his eyes. Outside, from what he c...ould hear, the bushwhackers were awake and preparing to break camp. Voices and laughter reached his ears. Then the tent shook violently and began to collapse. The mass of canvas and central support pole came clattering down on him and he started to struggle, as well as he could in the chains, to extricate himself. Something round and hard prodded into his side, sending a wave of pain through him.
‘Come on, Yankee!’ whooped a voice. ‘Wriggle harder.’ Marsden forced himself to lie still rather than give more cause for amusement to the men around the fallen tent.MoreLess
