"But can this Aaron guy take on a loot like ours?"

"Of course, it's easy to sell a good watch. He could even sell it for twice as much as he paid for it. I tried to tell your Pa’, but he left without giving me the time’a day! Maybe you still have time to warn him. If it really is gold plated like he said, he shouldn’t ask for less than two hundred bucks. One-fifty for sure wouldn’t be enough.”

"Well then I better get going! I just don’t know whereabout to find the dealer.”

"No problem, son. Go left ‘til you get to the blacksmith, take the street on the right, then go a few steps and you’ll come to a shabby little shop full of junk. You can't go wrong; this town is a hole. Go on, now, if you wanna make it.”

"Thanks!" The boy dashed out at breakneck speed. The reason for his rush was far more important than fifty dollars. It was likely that the double-dealing Rick was there, and he had to warn his father. In fact, when he was about to reach Agua Dulce, he heard the sound of hooves behind him. Luckily, he had a small hill between himself and the pursuer, so he had time to hide behind a bush. From there, he watched as the horseman streaked past and wondered to himself if he was also headed to Mansill to do business.
