Chapter II
"Not thief, not spy!" The boy beside Drew dropped a wealed hand from his face. "The man who says Teodoro Trinfan is _ladrón_—bad one—him I kill!" Drew’s left arm swept out across the boy’s chest, pinning him back against the stable. "Now, what’s your story?" the Kentuckian asked the man he fronted.
