Page "adventure" Paragraph 393

Tom had been laying for Aaron McBride for a long time, just waiting to catch him out of line.

McBride gave him his opportunity when he showed up in town with a pistol on his hip.

He had a legitimate reason for wearing it.

It was payday for Highlands, and he was packing a lot of money back into the oil fields.

Moreover, as long as the weapon was carried openly, the sheriff's office had made no previous issue of it.
