Day three<br/><br/>The ride!  She'd completely forgotten.  But, right now, she just wanted to feel Sam's warmth along the length of her; join with him and put everything else out of her mind.<br/><br/>"We could go at sunset," she suggested.  "The wind comes up then and if all you wanted was a few minutes away from humanity, it will give us enough time."  She clutched his hand, almost trotting along the dusty street up the hill towards the Saguaro.  "Right now, all I want is you, Sam.  I need you..."<br/><br/>Ahead there seemed to be something going on.  And, it appeared to be taking place right in front of the saloon.  Why now? Irene wondered.  All she wanted was to get to her room, get Sam naked and make love and there appeared to be some sort of gathering...<br/><br/>Men came away carrying a body on a plank.  The crowd parted to let them through and Irene halted, stepping back out of the way, mouth opened in an O at the bullet holes in the man's body and head.  She clutched Sam's arm in surprised horror.<br/><br/>"What on earth---?" she muttered.
