Hawk 12, page 13
When he was finally still, curled in upon himself, the small gold cross at his ear caught the light of the sun and sparkled like a fading star. Hawk finished reloading his weapons and cleaned from his boots the spots of blood that had spurted from Jack Shade’s shotgunned body. Pretty soon it’d be time to lug the guts back to the wagon and haul them back to Hollister and claim the reward.
Sure as hell, Hawk reckoned he’d earned it.
