The Threat

Darkly and 3Gun rode hard through the night

Steel and Galina were nowhere in sight

She had baited her hook

A bait Darkly and 3Gun both took

The note they found with Steel's demands

3Gun read with trembling hands

The threat she posed was plain to see

And he said to Darkly, she wants CG

They raced to the Gulch with effort supreme

The horses were lathered and both blowing steam

The bakery was empty there was no one around

They then tried the newspaper, still nary a sound

Darkly returned to her shop, 3Gun to his room

He sat in a darkness of impending doom

If anything happened to another friend

All those women would see the end
