Bad odds

 Borden Chantry smiled. Such men as Boone Silva liked to kill, but they trusted in their speed and marksmanship - and in the present case there was a chance for neither. Whatever skill Boone might have was negated by the reason of position. At the distance neither man could miss, and at the distance both would probably die. And Borden Chantry was banking that Silva did not want to die.
