Midnight Rider (Ralph Cotton Western Series) - Plot & Excerpts
The animals were rested, saddled and ready to ride. “Holy Moses,” said the Giant, “there’s a posse on the train. They were aiming to ambush us! How’d they know about this job?” The two stood staring, stunned for a moment at their discovery. Finally Casings pushed his hat brim up and grinned at the Giant, looking relieved. “I don’t know,” he said, “but let them wait.” He nodded toward the far end of the car. Leaving the freight car, the two hurried down the aisle of the loaded mail car and out the rear door. They stood for a moment looking at the big Treasury car swaying along behind them. “You can bet there’s guards waiting for us in there,” Casings said in a whisper. “You suppose Grolin figured on it?” the Giant asked. “If he didn’t, he’d better,” said Casings. “Come on. Watch your step.” The two crossed onto the Treasury car platform and climbed the iron brakeman ladder to a catwalk running the length of its roof. They hurried in a crouch along the swaying walkway and climbed down at the other end as the separated cars continued gaining speed, rolling backward.
