Sora, Ghost-Eye said to me, I'm so pleased to meet you in person. Watch Tower has dogged my heels for years now, although you'd never have made it this far without an occasional leak, he smiled at me, as if he were letting me in on some private joke, From someone on the inside.

He wore gloves, and leveled my pistol at my chest. Coyote, he said as he flicked off the safety, Deal with Sora.

Coyote turned from Sai, who was leaning against a horse and clutching his forearm, and gave me a look of frustration, as if he were annoyed by my interruption. His rifle lay in the dust, and he held a combat knife.

You worked for the Empire once, Coyote, Ghost-Eye said, You sent your own to the camps. You sniffed them out for the Deputies.

Coyote hesitated, looking back at Ghost-Eye, who nodded towards me. Didn't have no choice, Coyote grunted as he knelt, I had my family to think about.

I was in Coyote's shadow, still winded and unable to see Ghost-Eye, but I heard him. Of course you did, Ghost-Eye said, what he did then is still hard to believe.
