If you want to travel back to the old west, and then laugh when you step out of the saddle, this is your book! WARNING &#8211; Do not read while drinking coffee.&#8221; &#8212;<strong>Steve Sederwall, Cold West Investigations<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read a sample chapter &#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chapter One<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a hot day in Gunfighter\u2019s Gulch, the sun overhead as red as an undersized banana and beating down on man and beast. It hadn\u2019t rained in time out of mind and the east town doctor was beginning to worry that insanity would set in sooner than usual this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was such a day as that that Portly Ben Rousterman left his spotless appaloosa in the corral to the east and walked to the Third National Bank of Gunfighter\u2019s Gulch. Hitching his twin Allen five-shot pistols into a more comfortable position on that part of his body where he once remembered having hips, he stepped up on the boardwalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And promptly went through as the heft of his girth cracked the dried wood. With a foul oath his mother had taught him on his lips, he stepped out of the hole and to the door of the bank. Throwing it open, he wedged himself through with much effort and difficulty for not only was it narrow and he wide, it was a revolving door\u2014the only revolving door between Dallas and Los Angeles and, therefore, almost impossible to get parts for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an effort, Portly Ben finally shoved his way into the lobby and was told politely by the bank guard, \u201cYou might want to try the loading docks in the back when leaving, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObliged,\u201d sneered Portly Ben before pulling out his twin Allens, their maple grips feeling comforting in his big beefy paws, and said, &#8220;This is a stick-up. Take me to the vault.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman screamed. Another used that same word Portly Ben had used out on the boardwalk. Several people gasped at the use of such a word in public. A child asked his mother what it meant, to which she replied, \u201cAsk me after the hold-up, please dear one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearest teller, a man so tall he could actually see over the cage, said, \u201cGood sir, we have no funds in the vault at this time.\u201d Eliciting more use of that same word from earlier from all the people who had come to withdraw various sums so that they might pay their bookies, he elaborated, \u201cIf only you had come tomorrow. That\u2019s when the enormous secret gold shipment is due to be inexplicably deposited here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Portly Ben mulled over this information with a strange light in his eyes, the bank guard couldn\u2019t help but think there was something he should have been doing. The other teller, meanwhile, was Lacy Halverson, prettiest woman in the bank\u2014and possibly Gunfighter\u2019s Gulch\u2014and a crack shot. &nbsp;She had jet-blonde hair and an alluring if strictly off-limits body and piercing mismatched eyes. She dreamed of one day going on the stage, and taking that stage to some place where she might find a theater production to watch and then become a part of, where she might spurn many protestations of love and die a romantic but unrequited life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust give me what\u2019s in the vault,\u201d Portly Ben demanded, his voice low and gravelly for he had forgotten to drink water that day, \u201cAnd no one will get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping the ancient LeMat revolver from her cash drawer, where she kept it both for defense of the bank and her person, but also as a conversation piece as there was so rarely money in the drawer, Lacy pointed it at Portly Ben and said, \u201cKind sir, please either put your guns away or move a step closer for when I shoot you I do not want to hit anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portly Ben was surprised and, as he looked in Lacy\u2019s one beautiful blue eye (the other being brown and only so-so), he saw that he truly could die. He had never thought that before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, he reasoned, that wasn\u2019t exactly true. He supposed he had always known he would die, but he expected it to be from either old age or cliff-diving, possibly hanging. He carried guns, and he had used them, often as firearms, so he knew that man could die by the gun. He just never thought it would be him because so far it never had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They stood there like that, in a New Mexican standoff\u2014for the bank was in more than half of the town that was in the New Mexico Territory on account of the Texas side of town having more laws against fraud\u2014until Percy McGoon, a slightly-built man with massive forearms and a taste for spinach said, \u201cIf you people don\u2019t mind, I really need to make my deposit and get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t mind,\u201d said Portly Ben and waved Percy to go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy does this always have to happen to me?\u201d Percy whined as the very tall cashier\u2014Very Tall Paul Bigman\u2014counted the three dollars Percy was depositing and then made him out a receipt for the majority of the amount. Taking his receipt and vowing in his mind to one day avenge all that had been stolen from him by this bank for years, Percy wished all a good day and left. He thought about informing the sheriff that the bank was being robbed, but he had already been late for work every day that week and didn\u2019t want to try his boss\u2019s patience any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bank. Portly Ben and Lovely Lacy said in unison, \u201cWhat\u2019s it going to be, Pal?\u201d and then he chuckled and she tittered at their harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank guard happened to glance at the clock just then, saw it was his break time, and so sat down and picked up the nearest copy of <em>Puck<\/em> and began to read. Chuckling, he kept his daily vow to not think at all about the bank or it\u2019s problems for the next fifteen minutes. He did think about going in the back and getting a cup of coffee, but he hated coffee, so he didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portly Ben was a patient man, but he could be pushed past the point of endurance. It came just then and he said, \u201cI\u2019m going to count to three, and if you bankers don\u2019t start handing me sacks of money, I\u2019m going to let loose with these guns and heaven help whoever\u2019s on the other end!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those still paying attention were scared, for he sounded like he meant it and they all knew about Allens. Five-barreled guns where the barrels rotated instead of just the chambers, they were notoriously unreliable but, if their triggers were pulled, bullets almost always came out the other end. In the hands of a skilled user, they knew, an Allen could do much random damage and, unlike Portly Ben and living in the west as they did, they knew one and all that they could die that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tall cashier, already bored out of his mind since Percy had left, could only hope that one of the bullets would catch him and end the afternoon sooner rather than later. He sighed with exasperation, but such didn\u2019t trigger Portly Ben\u2019s trigger finger. Tall Paul Bigman would have sighed again, more loudly, if he could have generated the interest in doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He couldn\u2019t, and so just remained silent, wondering if the would-be outlaw would mind terribly if he balanced his drawer, especially now that there was three dollars in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll I want\u2019s what\u2019s in the vault,\u201d Portly Ben demanded. \u201cJust let me by and I\u2019ll go in there and get it myself if it\u2019s too much trouble for you to get it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lovely Lacy replied, \u201cThe vault is for authorized personnel only. Now you, just turn around and squeeze yourself back through the door and don\u2019t come back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portly Ben was not used to having anything he desired denied him. Things he commanded were always carried out. Who was this remarkably attractive girl to deny him anything, he wondered, and would she go out with me when this is all over? He happened to know there was a barn dance over in Friona the next Friday night and he was going to be there robbing the stagecoach anyway, so maybe\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no one but the Good Lord ever knows for sure, it is quite possible that the Friona Quilt Store Jamboree and Hog Call was the last thought to pass through Portly Ben\u2019s mind. It is quite possible that his thoughts were more along the lines of, \u201cWait! That\u2019s a LeMat, the gun of the Confederacy that not only had six revolving chambers but a second barrel bored out to either 16- or 20-guage with which the user could fire a raft of buckshot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accidentally waving his left-hand gun in a more threatening manner than he perhaps intended, he received the full brunt of the 16-gauge in the chest, which spun him around (twice). As, with his last breath and more from autonomic function than intention, he stumbled toward the front door, Lacy fired off the six rounds of .36 caliber bullets, knowing as she did that a .36 didn\u2019t pack the wallop of a .45 and one couldn\u2019t be too careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his dying breath, Portly Ben Rousterman wedged himself into the front door of the Third National Bank of Gunfighter\u2019s Gulch. Portly Ben dropped his two guns, the one from the right hand going off on impact with the floor, its bullet destroying the framed portrait of Aaron Burr which hung over the bank president\u2019s desk for reasons that probably don\u2019t come up in this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone screamed, several other people said that word, and all of them wondered how they were going to get out with the front door clogged up that way and the loading dock door the guard had mentioned blocked by that old train car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Available now on Apple, Kobo, and many other formats!
