Yet she would have hated herself if he had come with her, anything could happen and if he lost his life because of her well that was one more thing she could not live with. When the mines came into view she pushed her hat from her head and wiped her brow. They were inside there, at least that's what the information that Uther and the deputy had discovered.<br/><br/>It was too late to turn back now and dismounting she removed the rifle from the side holster strapped to him before, she patted her horses flank to send him off. Sarah checked her two handguns before loading the rifle and carefully approaching the mouth of the mine she clicked the safety off and prepared herself. There were no horses visible, there were no sounds as yet from inside but her gut told her that they were in there. This time her palms didn't sweat, her throat was dry enough but that she could live with. Glancing once behind her as if she might possibly see Uther and his posse riding forward, a slight disappointment filled her at not seeing anything but the barren desert and the dust rolling was all that was visible before she turned to enter the mine shaft.<br/><br/>
