The Bloody North (The Fallen Crown) - Plot & Excerpts
As he did so, his entourage followed suit. Four men had ridden with him, one either side, one in front, and one taking up his rear. The Captain walked into the lawman's office, resplendent in his spotless uniform. "Captain Vrand," he said shaking the man's hand. "Brady," he said. "So, uh, what can I do for you?" Vrand folded his arms. "It has been brought to my attention that a wanted man has come to Greyside, a man I am most eager to get my hands on." "Oh, this one," Brady said. He opened one of the cell doors at the back of the office. In the shadows he didn't look anything like Vrand had remembered. "Came in yesterday. Women held him up, put two and two together, worked out what he'd be worth and brought him in." "Interesting. And they didn't have anyone else with them?" "Only a bearded man. Tall fella, looked like some kind of wanderer," Brady said with distaste. "Carried a staff of some kind." "Interesting," Vrand said again, though he visibly was anything but.
