853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjko72DNCw
(The gates to Fort Blood are open and Banks, Mo and Butch are loading their possessions onto a wagon. The Grand Commander makes his way over to Butch.)

GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQrqfzjxbU
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoFpMgO5Xx
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpl1E0a3fN
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xKx2shiw8
GRAND COMMANDER
What is a man like you going to do out there? You're a soldier. You were a soldier the moment you stepped through those gates. Hell, you were a soldier even before that.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdJSQrG7Lm
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW50Ucmc2kx
BUTCH
I have been a soldier for a long, long time. I just want to try not being one for a while. See how it suits me.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfskF0FTQHk
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL246piRtG
GRAND COMMANDER
Would it make any difference if I told you that you would be running this joint when I'm gone? I ain't got too many years left.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtR0Ud1wbV
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K8B6ae3iM
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69nZdav8Q
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF8UBGpERR
(Both men laugh.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV7dOccPCY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDKbr7gXL
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4sWKiNlT2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5atuGJDVt
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL247j0JmE
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjK74w3f25
GRAND COMMANDER
What the hell are you going to do in the west? Pan for gold? Become a skinner? Maybe you could be a barber?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD23lejCDTa
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbijqh1jmwI
BUTCH
Meet a nice girl. Have a few kids. Grow old together. Sit in a rocking chair on my porch and chew tobacky and watch my grandkids raise hell.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhi8E439Mq
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzizmYuLAGF
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dz0lL5qUh
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL4VVaiy2O
BUTCH
Who said anything about a farm? The Queen sent out a call for lawmen since Hendrick's Pass opened up after the quake. And I figure since I'm accustom to getting shot at being a Marshall might suit me.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxT9hebeaU
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNVGZFTXZl
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2mGrR5cKV
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObMrajHbwU
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS57yaFUKw0
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojVSpCMJ4
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oOy8A2oqC
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeCPf5olop
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC1OuLwwPg
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhl2FA4T1M
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77cHcjYKAh
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqVtvjD7te
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj0G76XBoK
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslvbTAtKSM
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPVA9t7gYj
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsGxGI9c1y
BUTCH
I walked in here without shoes. I'm leaving here on a wagon with decent boots on my feet. I'm coming out ahead.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwxyfVP6fO
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKcKEUEwNg
(The Grand Commander shifts uncomfortably. He reaches into a pack he is carrying and pulls out an elaborately carved wooden box. He hands it to Butch.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnAHt8bpbb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqnejHfcbp
BUTCH
What's this?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1cUbYByGL
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzmCcoIgi
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn3KHJ2kuz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd1WWpBEwd
(Butch takes the box and opens it. A black and silver six shooter is inside of the crushed velvet insides. The grip of the gun is jet black with a crimson flag engraved on it. It is a beautiful gun. Butch gives the pistol a once over and looks over every nook and cranny.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSuUb7S2og
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJQkFyxo5G
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegeAbkvVbM
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE9ll2A7rG
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQkWgjzWa2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI29Yvn0lEI
(The Grand Commander pulls his pistol, Red Fire, from its holster and holds it up next to Butch's new gun. They both look almost exactly the same.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCRNddY7sS
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN1IjTYJzE
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7QAK1rnx7
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJzymAkvVC
GRAND COMMANDER
That it is. Had the enchantments laid on it by Ingram himself in the capital. You won't come across its like again.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH3weT5rJs
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijlGWM4J6K
BUTCH
This is an Ingram? Dear gods! But how could you afford this? Even the lords of the high houses have a hard time scraping together enough for an Ingram!
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUe8KZ5uH6
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJltp5WXqP6
GRAND COMMANDER
Let's just say I called in a few favors. Ingram himself owed me one. That's the fine thing about being the Grand Commander of a fighting force like ours. After a while high ups start owing you lots and lots of favors. It's called Scarlet Rain. May it bring you luck and prosperity in your endeavors as a marshal.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTIOwNHwKt
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9xsFlTqgd
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZqGjljEUU
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWR8p08Tuz
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlf0XtAAcz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLUA7pJX0C
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NAw309DB2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFMvpN0xc1
(The two shake hands. )
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E6s0gbTG8
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56EvFhy5ys
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSREOkt6p0
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaO32nS5h2
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepLa8xKm89
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC5jMniSIv
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7judjXaqpX
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lvjYYhyL2
BUTCH
How so?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahvcqgWEkg
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKIBQYhYQL
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8bcBrPEyN
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8xMDZPTtF
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDrta6LLz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrMbHgyzD8
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk8ZS4WjAp
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqzVpZbvY
BUTCH
They sure?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkqHSvZwra
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe6Ay7QahJ
GRAND COMMANDER
He was talking about some woman he had on the way to Jackson's. Got to drinking that night and said he couldn't live without her no more. In the morning he was missing. As was his horse and belongings. Local drunk said he seen him mount up in the wee hours and head west.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGxRj09zRu
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLihn8bLTlS
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVeqzcThx4
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhkqB2dY5O
GRAND COMMANDER
They had a wagon full of supplies and nobody to guard it. With Reverend Rose in the area it was too dangerous for one of them to go alone. So they hightailed it back here knowing we would send someone to find him.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmvYNHsex
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCc0nkbl62
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475dVpFbnz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq3jYmCCIn
GRAND COMMANDER
If it wouldn't be too much trouble. I'm sending Raymond, Reggie and twenty men south in case he heads that direction, but my bet is he'll be headed for Hendrick's Pass like you. So it will be likely you will cross paths at some point heading west. We can't have deserters.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0KORyuFs
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ur6jND0G3
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bOv153Ey4
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAggdj2OsxN
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI5pYU7EHi
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ey5z7ctcY
BUTCH
And the other favor?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4udfia5xIY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6M0XHfL71
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4wHwS8Xhe
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQMbbdbFm
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiIUDSckze
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k4R2YQhJF
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAQByhTC0G
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE5Xs8qyDO
BUTCH
Eddy might not have been a good soldier, but he is fine company to keep on the road. It'll make the trip a damn sight more livelier with him.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UZxzJZov2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LhOp7JGcm
GRAND COMMANDER
(Smiling once again)
That it will. If you could just get him as far as Evergreen without any bullet holes in him I would be much obliged.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR5LywEfgQ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ccRvJELH0
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03V8BfgjQZ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MXw6psYwB
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjGPw7P3nw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlQO6AIJae
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3xeEjXYbC
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjDtRl9ca
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM0SAl22Vl
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgamDaWbvod
(Eddy comes out of the stockade room with a long coat and shabby looking hat. He has a rifle strapped across his back. He walks to Butch and the Commander.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxYxVdMjsR
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0vetJpTB4
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PI8RT4UQJ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWAUQvdmPM
GRAND COMMANDER
It is. Keep your nose clean. I had to pull a lot of strings to keep you out of the dungeon at the keep. Out west you're on your own.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgwHb8ZEyp
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3hWvVhTEN
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwbDJweNJ1
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaTs2IULfK
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7CCqV0iaX
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqFqtThKfC
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q9Bt7mPaD
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj2jHkxv6g
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGOurpAsTW
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg56cH2NOJm
EDDY
Indeed it has, Butch my man. I would have written, but the jailers in the stockade have kept me all kinds of busy. I'm pretty sure one of them was sweet on me.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B3EylRv3U
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNmTCWuyqK
(Both men laugh.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJuW3ZSLVw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU927RTYMk
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUznUQYej
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqcMtCX8SK
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc5DYJ5lYq
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj5U3fXvFq
(Butch whistles loudly.)
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyroVaxJ8sP
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGKUfTMuft
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOqXSQUTjN
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd6b9IgEZR
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqYS4Lotj
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OIG9OXM6Y
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUkx2QMsaS
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcbbuzDEcv
(Banks and Mo say their final goodbyes to their fellow soldiers then hop on the wagon. The soldiers all wave goodbye to their friends. Except for Eddy. Eddy stands up and moons everyone as the wagon is heading out the gate. Everyone laughs. Even the Grand Commander cracks a smile before shaking his head and walking away.)
