Chapter XXXVI
"TODO ES PERDO" It was not long after the departure of Bard that Sally Fortune awoke. For a step had creaked on the floor, and she looked up to find Steve Nash standing in the centre of the room with the firelight gloomily about him; behind, blocking the door with his squat figure, stood Shorty Kilrain. "Where's your side-kicker?" asked Nash. "Where's Bard?" And looking across the room, she saw that the other bunk was empty.
