True Grit page 32 by ric gustafson
" Are you listening to me Rooster?".
" Yes Ned I am".
" You and whoever is with you has five minutes to mount and leave".
There was no reply.
" Do you hear me Rooster?".
" We will need more time Ned".
" I will not give you any more".
" Ned, there will be a party of Marshals here soon". Cogburn's voice hesitated. " Give me Chaney and the girl and I will mislead them".
Pepper gave me a smirk. " I don't trust you Rooster".
" I'll cover you till dark".
" Too thin Rooster". Pepper glanced at his watch. " Your five minutes is running".
" Ok Ned we're leaving".
