Florentino Rushed Him....
Rhiannon sidestepped just a handbreadth. Florentino's wild swing grazed his chin. Rhiannon's hands shot out, gripping and closing. Florentino let out a single lost wail as the hands closed on his neck and crotch, lifting him off his feet.
Then he was high above Rhiannon's head, helpless and kicking in that terrible grip. Rhiannon swung back and forward, putting out all his strength, letting go. Florentino's body smashed sidelong against the canyon wall.
It fell to the ground as limp as a rag doll. It did not move again...

Chapter One
Consciousness came back slowly, along with cold and the smell of dank earth. And utter darkness. With it came a rising explosion of pain that knifed through his head, his joints, his whole body. His cheek was resting on moist dirt. He tried to turn his head and could not. The slight movement caused a scrape of dirt along the raw side of his face.
He groaned.
Above the blood-pounding of pain in his head, he heard a faint sound, dull and whispery, somewhere at his back.
God, what was that?
He lay very still now in the total darkness. That smell of dank earth was all around, filling his senses. Underground. He was down in the earth somewhere. Buried alive?
He tried to think, but nothing was clear in the awakening sludge of his brain. The slicing pain dulled even a first edge of panic. In spite of the damp cold, his throat and mouth felt like a kiln. He tried to form sound with his lips. Nothing. Not even a parched whisper.
Christ... the thirst. His tongue was furred, without sensation.
Again, in an exploratory way, he tried to move. It touched off fresh bursts of pain here and there, all over him, but knifing hardest against sore ribs. Then he realized he was trussed up like a hog, hands and feet. Whether ropes or thongs, they were tight as hell, digging into flesh that had no feeling. Pain, except for the chill dankness and a gritty awareness of dirt against his face, was his only feeling. His hands and feet were like frozen clumps. Slowly he shifted his legs, pulling his knees up to his belly.

Again that ominous whispery noiseor was it a slithering?somewhere behind him.
He waited, again not moving. Again the sound subsided.
He blinked his eyes and felt a flaking away of something that crusted his eyelids, his whole face. Like a caking of dried blood.
Overriding all of it was the crushing agony that filled his head. It rolled in like great combers of the gulf waters he'd once seen at Matagorda, crashing at the back of his skull in a pulse-timed rhythm, slugging and letting go and slugging back to his blood beat's roar.
He did not move again. He lay quiet and tried to think. Something at his back... but a silent something as long as he didn't move. And keeping still meant less pain.
Threads of thought forming like trickles of molasses. Shaping themselves into shreds of meaning. Of memory. The last clear memory?
The Englishman.
The Englishman in the Roadbrand Way House. He'd only been starting to get drunk then and he remembered the Englisher coming in, last night.
Was it last night? How long had he been here? Was it day or night now? Nothing, not a least slit of light in the blackness, informed him.
All right. Start with the Roadbrand. Other things had happened. But they were a red-gray confusion, a jumble of violence and noise and pain. So start with that.
The goddamn Sassenach. The Englishman...

"I've heard it said that you've a touch of Comanche blood in you."
"That's what they cuss me with. Only it's rougher talk they use. A touch of it, indeed." Rhiannon chuckled in his chest and reached for the bottle. Squaw man. Red-nigger lover. Renegade. Ah, all the lovely names. Aloud, he said, "Not a jot of truth in any of it."
"Here... Bartender. I'll buy us another."
"No. You've bought me one, Sassenach. It's the custom." Rhiannon slapped coins on the bar and filled his own glass. "Drink up."
