Otter was at Stone Knife’s camp on one of his visits to Dog Fox, so I set out to meet the murderous thug on my own. The man lacked the stones to face me honestly, and I was not about to submit to a bullet in the back when I least expected it, so I determined to put an end to the thing once and for all.
Long Wind had been put to pasture, and I now rode a quick, maneuverable pony named Arrow after Cut’s old mount. When Smith and I settled our score, the pony would help me survive.
