LaBoeuf smiled. " Maybe I will throw in with you and your Marshal".

" You'll have to talk to Marshal Cogburn about that"

" It could be to our mutual advantage".

I stared at LaBoeuf. " How so?".

" He knows the land". LaBoeuf grinned. " I know Chelmsford I mean Chaney".

LaBoeuf looked at me. " Tell the Marshal it is a two man job to take him alive".

I looked at the Texas Ranger. " Is it important where he hangs?".

" It is to me".

" I want Chaney to pay for killing my father". My voice got quiet. " I want him to hang in Fort Smith".

" I will have a talk with Marshal Cogburn".

" I will not be bullied".

" I'm still going to talk to Marshal Cogburn".
