Sudden--At Bay (A Sudden Western #2) - Plot & Excerpts
Buck Cotton pulled his horse to a stop on the top of the slope, and dismounted, scanning the area in front of the house and the corral off on the southern side. There was no sign of a horse, no sign of movement. He nodded to himself, an eager smile playing around his lips. ‘I wonder where the Mex woman is?’ As if in answer to his question, a woman emerged from the house carrying a tub fall of washing which she hefted towards the pump in the yard, proceeding to energetically splash water upon the clothes in the tub. Moving cautiously, Buck got to within a few yards of her before the woman looked up with startled eyes into the gaping barrel of Buck’s six-gun. Buck had a finger on his lips. ‘Don’t make a sound,’ he hissed ‘or…’He gestured with the gun. ‘Comprende?’ The woman nodded, her eyes wide with fear. ‘A donde es la señorita?’ Buck asked her. ‘Where’s the girl?’ The woman pointed towards the house. ‘En la casa,’ she said. ‘She alone?’ Another nod.
