Gone Are the Days Page #3

the stables no more, and...

Shot?

Yeah.

Wait a minute,

Jaden told me that he died...

he died passed in the spring.

Yeah, he did.

'Cause of the bullet to the back.

Well, who shot him? Who shot him?

- Taylon.

- Who shot him?

Taylon.

Taylon! Taylon? What's wrong?

- What's wrong?

- Medicine. Medicine.

One second.

Medicine.

Wait... Wait, Virg!

Wait, Virg! No!

No! No, no...

No, wait! Virg! No!

Here, just one sip. Come on, come on.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Okay, you're good.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

You scared the hell out of me.

Hey, Will!

Something unusual

about that fella out on the ranch.

What the hell's going on?

Well, don't know, really.

Brought out his medicine

and Father Murphy,

but the place was burnt.

Burnt? What do you mean burnt?

Just that. Nothing much left of the ranch.

Burned down.

What about the man?

What happened to the man?

Don't know, I mean,

we searched pretty hard for the body.

We didn't find anything.

No remains. His horse was gone, too, Will.

How long ago?

Just now. Came straight to you.

No, how long ago did the fire start?

Oh, that? I don't know that.

Why you so concerned

about this fella, Will?

I'll be back soon.

Time to go.

You owe me for your time with Heidi.

Since you been here,

she hasn't been with a single man.

Considering she hadn't paid her due...

I need to be compensated for her time.

And I think this is gonna cover it,

barely.

Your welcome here has extended itself.

But I wish you a good day, sir.

Let me lead you out.

You looking for your rifle?

Well...

let's do it.

Get the horses!

Let's go. Let's go, come on.

It's time to get back to work.

You gonna waste a bullet on him or am I?

Nah. He won't make it anyway.

He's dead.

Not yet.

What's he doing acting like this?

Your friend crossed a while ago!

He ain't gonna make it.

He will make it.

Everybody PHYS-

Did you take him into town?

I built you a fire

to keep you comfortable, friend.

God bless you.

He'll be in His good graces soon.

Abandoned everyone he loved.

Never should have crossed.

Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil.

Taylon.

You're not there yet.

They killed my wife, Jake.

Why'd they kill my wife?

- Why?

- You took their money.

For God sakes, get on your horse and go.

- I ain't leaving that baby.

- They'll kill you and your little girl.

- I'll take care of her.

- You swear to God, Jake?

I swear to God.

You're no good to her dead.

Heidi.

What you doing, Heidi?

All right, come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Whoa.

Brought you Tantrum.

I'm sorry.

Morning, ladies.

What you doing in our town

at this time, Sheriff?

Well, I'm looking for Jaden. You seen him?

He ain't around.

- Out at his ranch?

- No.

One of the girls ran off last night.

He's got every man

in this town hunting her down.

- Which one?

- Heidi.

She beat him pretty good, too.

Tried to burn his stable down on him.

Y'all happen to see an old man kind

of peaked-looking

passing through town recently?

Yeah, he spent a couple days with Heidi,

and then Jaden and his men

beat him down and ran him off.

- Think he's dead.

- What's going on, Sheriff?

Well, I'm not sure.

Well, we ain't earned nothing last night

clue to all the men being gone.

You fancy a poke?

Good day, ladies.

Shouldn't never gone to Hesperus.

Don't start.

Well, what, you gonna just sit here

and die?

I say you get up and we go rob us a bank.

You know, I was gonna give her

all the money anyways... and the ranch.

Yeah, well...

I don't think

she'll want that ranch anymore.

Exactly.

- You look like crap anyways.

- Thank you.

Hey, you, in camp! I ain't coming in.

Just looking for someone.

Little redhead girl. You seen her?

Why?

Well, she pistol-whipped the saloon owner

in Hesperus, made off with his money

and his horses.

- We figured her for Durango.

- We ain't seen no one!

Now get the hell out of our camp!

Shut up.

Yeah, I saw her.

She was headed south towards Santa Fe.

- Santa Fe?

- Yeah!

That right?

That's right.

All right.

Well, we could just rob the damn bank

like I said.

Yeah.

Hey. Quit. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Back off. I'm keeping the money.

- I didn't come here for the money.

- Yeah?

- I was gonna give it to you anyway.

- Give it to me? Why?

That doesn't matter.

We gotta get you out of town.

Yeah, well, that's what I'm trying to do.

Stop it. Right now!

You go to that train station,

they will be looking for you there.

- Jaden's out for blood.

- Jaden's dead.

No, Jaden's not dead.

He's here in Durango.

I can't believe that bastard didn't die.

I mean, I smashed him good.

I burnt the stable down on him.

- You burnt him down?

- Yeah.

Well.

Why are you helping me, Taylon?

No, I left you to die.

We gotta get you out of here.

How? I can't... I mean,

I can't outrun the posse,

-and I can't get on that train.

- No, you can't.

No, I'm dead. I'm dead.

He's... He's gonna kill me. Yeah. No, no,

he's gonna worse than kill me.

If Jaden gets to me, he won't let me die.

- I'd rather get shot and die.

- No,no.

- Please, just do it! No, come on.

- You're not gonna die. Look. Give it back.

- What?

- The money, give it to Jaden.

Give it back to Jaden.

That's all he wanted anyway.

- No, no, he'll still come after me.

- Yeah. No, he won't. I'll see to it.

Just give it back. Take it to the bank.

- How?

- We gotta go. Come on, come on.

Sheriff.

- Sheriff.

- What do you want, Jaden?

One of my whores tried to kill me.

Burnt down the stable

and stole all my money.

I think she's hiding in your town.

And she did all that for no reason?

- Give me that!

- I need my rifle.

- I won't have this in my county.

- Have what?

Well, let's just say shooting people

in the back doesn't go over so well

around these parts.

I don't want her to get away.

Well, I don't want anyone

to get hurt, you understand?

She will go before the judge.

She tried to kill me, Will.

And she may be with Taylon.

She did? Really?

Well, I'd be real careful.

Yeah, you might have a bigger fight

than you even know.

How's that?

Well, that fella she's with,

he is one mean sum b*tch.

I'll be with you in a moment, ma'am.

How may I help you?

- I'd like to make a deposit.

- Okay, and your name?

I would like to put it under the name

of Jaden Pen...

Open that safe.

- Really?

- Taylon... is Wesley Flynn from Texas.

The same guy who tried

to rob our bank twenty years ago.

- Mm-hmm.

- Whose wife got hung.

How long you known that?

Far too long.

What the hell are you doing?

Shut up! Shut up, whore!

You stay put or I'll f... I'll finish you.

I'm only saying things once. Open this up.

Come on out. Yeah. Get the hell out.

Go on, get.

Now, we know what happened to Virgil.

But what happened to the other guy?

What other guy?

There were only two of them.

No, there was another guy

that rode with him in Texas.
