Barbarosa Page #2

Don Braulio wants Barbarosa dead for marrying his daughter against the father's will. Barbarosa reluctantly takes the clumsy Karl on as a partner, as both of them look to survive the forces lining up against them.

"DON BARBAROSA

"DOWN ON THE RIO GRANDE.

"HE WAS SHOT AND BURIED...

"BY NGEL MORALES.

EARLY THE NEXT MORNING,

THERE WAS A TERRIFYING CRY."

WELL, THEY AIN'T SINGIN'

NOTHING ABOUT ME. SH! LISTEN.

"MORALES AND BARBAROSA

TRADED PLACES IN THE EARTH... "

HOW 'BOUT THAT?

OH, HERE. HERE'S...

THIS IS YOUR PART.

"DON BARBAROSA WAS TRAVELING

WITH A GRINGO CHILD. GRINGO CHILD?

AND THOUGH... " "THOUGH

HE WAS ONLY A HALF-PINT...

HE MEASURED UP TO THE QUART."

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

"MEASURED UP TO THE QUART."

THAT AIN'T BAD.

SON OF A B*TCH CAN WRITE.

"EARLY NEXT MORNING THEY

TOOK THE GOLD AND SILVER.

AND HAVEN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE."

GOOD.

"AND THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE COURAGE,

GREASE UP YOUR GUNS AND KNIVES."

WHAT?

THAT'S THE PAR WHERE THEY KILL BARBAROSA.

JOSEPHINA.

DO YOU KNOW:

HOW LONG IT'S BEEN?

I COME IN THE SPRING,

AND I COME IN THE FALL.

I COME WHEN I CAN.

YES, YOU COME IN THE SPRING.

YOU COME IN THE FALL.

IN THE MEANTIME,

I WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT.

THIS HASN'T BEEN NO BED OF

ROSES FOR ME OUT THERE, YOU KNOW.

DON'T TELL ME

YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

WELL, IT VARIES.

THAT DAY WE WERE

WORKING IN THE FIELD.

SUDDENLY, THE EARTH

BEGAN TO SHAKE, TREMBLE.

THE LEAVES FELL FROM...

DON'T HE EVER GET TIRED OF THA SH*T? THE DUST COVERED THE SUN.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

CAME TWO MEN...

ON HORSEBACK. RINCHES!

YES.

TEXAS RANGERS.

ONE WAS A CAPTAIN.

THE OTHER ONE:

A YOUNG GRINGO.

THE CAPTAIN SAID WE WERE

HORSE THIEVES. NO!

WE SHOULD'VE

KILLED 'EM, DON BRAULIO.

THAT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.

THE ZAVALAS HAD A DESIRE

TO KILL THE GRINGOS...

BUT NOT YET THE WILL.

THE RINCHE:

CAPTAIN SHOT ME.

HE WAS GOING:

TO DO IT AGAIN.

BUT THE YOUNG GRINGO

STOPPED HIM.

THEY SHOT AT EACH OTHER.

THE CAPTAIN FELL DEAD.

AND THE YOUNG GRINGO

GOT IT HERE.

- HE WANTED TO HELP US.

- WE THOUGHT THAT TOO.

WE TOOK CARE OF HIM.

HE WORKED IN THE FIELDS

TO MAKE US TRUST HIM.

HE PLAYED WITH OUR CHILDREN

TO MAKE US LOVE HIM.

AND THEN... THEN HE SAW THIS

YOUNG GIRL.

YOUR OWN DAUGHTER, DON BRAULIO.

THEY WERE MARRIED

AGAINST MY WISHES.

THERE WAS A-A WEDDING FIESTA.

WE DRANK TEQUILA.

THE GRINGO WAS RUDE.

HE CURSED UGLY.

SO WE TOOK HIM OUTSIDE ON THE

PATIO HOPING THAT HE WOULD SOBER UP.

THEN WE CAME BACK INSIDE

AND I FELL ASLEEP.

I WOKE UP IN HORROR TO SEE THE

GRINGO STANDING THERE BEFORE ME.

HIS RIFLE AGAINST MY LEG.

BEHIND HIM, MARCELO AND TOMS LAY DEAD.

THE GRINGO'S BEARD THAT ONCE

HAD BEEN THE COLOR OF HONEY...

NOW DRIPPED RED WITH BLOOD.
