It seemed to move at a snail’s pace and, though it was certain now that it was heading for the river, it was plain that it would not reach it today. McAllister didn’t doubt that Rawley would expect an attack at the crossing. But he wouldn’t get one. He would never be attacked when he expected it. From his inspection of their camp sites, he knew that Rawley and his men expected attacks at night. Twice they had camped and nothing had happened. Tonight, a great many things would happen. In spite of what Sam had said, McAllister was determined to get in that camp tonight. Sam had argued that two men would be better than one, but McAllister didn’t agree. Two men could not act or think as fast as one. They could become separated and in separation lay danger. When a man was on his own in an enemy camp, he knew that everything that moved was against him and could act accordingly. No, he would go in alone. And by the time he’d finished, Rawley would begin to wonder if the gold was worth it after all.
