He hadn’t noticed his brother and quickly rode to his side, “Bobby! What is going on? Yer riding with lawmen?”

Shet-up Dickie. You were dead, now you’re alive. I don’t know why.”

Because it wasn’t your time to die,” Boomer answered.

In fact,” Hickok was smiling, “Before your time comes, you both have a chance to do some good for once in your miserable lives. You can ride with us.”

I hear-tell you sold yer badge to McLintock,” Bobby had overheard this during his time in the Dreadwood jail, “I ‘spect you’re on the run. What I don’t understand is why Hickok hasn’t kilt you.”

Mac just smiled.

I’m sorry Cujo, In order to prevent you from calling me back to the present too soon, I had to purposely NOT think of you—that was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.”

Am I allowed to ask a question?” Jay Cooper was new to 2012 Danger Bay and was unsure of the protocal.
