Then I walked back to the cowhand who held my rifle and gunbelt. He handed them to me. "Thanks, I said, and then I looked at him again. "You working, or rustling work?"
"You hiring?"
"I want a man who can ride handle cattle and fight if need be."
"Well," he said, "I can fight and ride and handle cattle if need be. That suit you?"
"You just went to work," I said.
