"Word has it you said that if we ever met again you'd kill me on the spot. Well here I am Kid. Now's your chance. Show me what you've got. It's a shame that you'll hang in another week or two, because I'd love to be the one who gets to kill you. I've got 16 silver dimes in each barrel of my shotgun. I'd love to try them out on you, but I can't unless you run. If I free you from those chains will you run for the door? Oh by the way Kid, your Ma was one sweet loving whore. I'll kill you before you hang Kid. That's a sure bet." "Be careful Bob," said the Kid, "I'm not hung yet. " Bob thrusted his shotgun hard into Billy's gut. The Kid looked up at him in pain and said, "Now what?" "Don't do it Bob," Bell said angrily, "or you'll be the one who'll hang for sure for killing a man in cold blood who was chained helplessly to the floor. It's time for the other prisoners to be escorted across the street to be fed. The Kid's not going anywhere. He's chained to the floor by his bed. Anyway, I took the prisoners last so now it's your turn. Go and have yourself a beer and I'll stay here and guard the Kid until you return. Bob Ollinger placed his shotgun into the gun rack. Before he left he said to Billy, "I'll see you when I get back." No one can say for sure if the above dialog ever truly took place. One thing's for sure. Ollinger tormented Billy at a merciless endless pace. They were arch enemies who fought against each other during the Lincoln County War. Ollinger was in the posse that killed John Tunstall, Billy's employer, friend and mentor. "I have to use the outhouse Bell," Billy said to the deputy. Bell kept his rifle trained on Billy as he tossed him the key. Billy unlocked the chains that kept him bound to the floor. Still in handcuffs and leg irons, Bell escorted Billy out the door. **************************************************************************** To Continue Go To: 12.
