      Outlaw's Honor - Pat Garrett Jr

      CHAPTER I

      Wolves at War

      THE OUTLAWS, watching Buck Honor as he patted the last piece of sod down on the grave, weren’t king of the dead. They were wondering, now that Estelle King was gone,how long it would take Rom King toget at the throat of his quiet twinbrother, Rem.

      Old Honor stood up. He swallowed a lump in his throat and growled, Reckon poor ‘Stelle’s better off. Itwasn’t much of a life she led after Scottwas kilt. He glared at Rem, and addedharshly, "An’ after you had to be born !"

      Rom, thumbs hooked over his cartridgebelt, regarded Rem maliciously,his grief for his mother secondary to afeeling of vicious joy. Estelle’s deathleft Rom free to unbridle the hatred heheld for Rem. Rom moved belligerently,but Honor’s, Not here, stayedhim, postponing the inevitable clash.Turning, Rom led the men down theslope toward Owlhoot House.

      Big Mitch had watched this gravesidescene with interest. Now, the bigoutlaw, disliked and mistrusted by allsave Rom, had a wicked smile on hislips as he followed the others. BigMitch looked like a cat with a fat canaryin view.

      Alone, Rem King knelt beside thegrave. He was glad death had come tohis mother in her sleep, and easily. Lifehadn’t been any too good to EstelleKing, he realized. Rom and he had beenborn the same day Estelle got wordof her wild, handsome husband’s death.

      Scott King had ramrodded seven salty,wanted men when he rode out of DamnationValley to rob the Sageburgbank. Of their number, only Big Mitch,Buck Honor, and an outlaw doctorcalled Pill had returned.

      Pill did all he could, and saved Estelle’slife. But the shock, grief, ordealof bearing twins was too much for thegirl. After that, the mental pattern ofher life became a crazy-quilt; she wassubject to bad spells.

      Well, that episode in life was donewith. Rem rose, and slowly, regretfullywalked down toward Owlhoot House,a long, log building beside Ripple River.Conversation ceased when he enteredthe big main room. Rom turned fromthe counter that served as a bar, awicked, wild expression on his dark,heavy face.

      Been waitin’ on you, so I could giveorders, he sneered. "Them I don’tpick for my personal bunch, start payin’double for supplies, likker, bunks an’cabins. Startin’ with Honor an’ BigMitch, I’m buildin’ a crew to go downan’ bust the skunks that murdered my ol’ man. I aim to rob the bank, an’ fillthe whole of Damnation Valley withtheir beef!
