Hannibal Rising
Hannibal Rising
“He suspected that the brother and sister were the same pair who attacked him on the Yancy. He hadn’t gotten a good look at their faces but it had to be them.
Suddenly the brother’s arm swept up and cold steel streaked from his hand.
Tobacco Man jerked the Spencer but he was much too slow. The knife caught him in the throat and blood burst in a geyser. Crying out, Tobacco Man clutched at the knife, only to have more scarlet spray from between his fingers. Somehow he stayed in the saddle and tena...ciously tried to bring the Spencer to bear.
Fargo started to rise. He saw what happened next and could hardly credit his eyes.
The sister swung her horse in close to Tobacco Man’s. Placing both hands on the saddle, she whipped her leg up and around. Her foot caught Tobacco Man under the jaw and snapped his head back with an audible crack. She was so quick her leg was a blur.
Fargo had never seen the like. He charged onto the trail and raised the Henry but brother and sister were already flying into the trees.MoreLess
