Dead Man's Corner

“Who was there first? Ford or my brother?”


“He claimed to be tracking Corbett, didn’t he?” Ben asked.


“You ever see a tracker get a day ahead of his prey? How does that work?”


“Ford said…Ford said your brother and his companions would be coming there because of the water…”


Ben shook his head. “Well, you were fooled. Ford knew that Corbett and his posse would be there because he led them there.”


“Ford wasn’t the tracker, doll. Ford was the one being hunted.” Ben tore at the jerky with his teeth.


“And your brother…he was a bounty hunter?”


“Not at all. He was a United States Marshall.”


Eliza felt dizzy. “No…no, he was wanted for murder. He shot Ford’s brother…shot his wife…”


“That part’s true, actually,” Ben said. “Corbett did shoot Ford’s brother. During a train robbery. Guess who was doing the robbing.” Ben smacked his lips around the jerky.
