There was shawl enveloping s’thing on his back–in darkness it can’t be determine. Halt…who goes there…He remain silent. So…it’s you…the bounty hunter smiled wryly. He grasping breath said later…she need warmth…The news had spread at great extent crossing the mountains–daughter of Mayor had been again abducted–twice in a week, even, after a ransom.
