“Trouble along the Grand Canyon”
The Authors first story of Arizona Blue in over eleven-months
The burning Arizona sky by the Grand Canyon, horse-smelling sky held a passive look for Arizona Blue, gunfighter (1876); wrapped in a grew Army shroud riding his horse Dan, thinking of a fresh-baked pie, any kind would do, his saddle loose. His mother Teresa disliked having him ride at night, so he remembered, as he rode this noon dust, and sun into evening, she was purely pound of him when he was a boy.
And he heard her once say to his cousin, “Blue just never got a chance like you boys did, and he and I aren’t beholden to no one, like you boys are…” he remembered how she stood up like a fighter for him, like he was or turned out to be, but she died, and now it was July, and he was remembering, in the desert heat, that was turning cold as twilight was turning into night, night, but it was a peaceable night for once, but it never stayed that way for him, he was always guarded, life had taught him so, experience you could say, too many falls, and each one had a lesson for him, one he never forgot; and so he keep up with the evening stars, “Hold your tongue Dan (he always talked to his horse).” Arizona knew Dan was getting tired, but he was all mixed up, he always got mixed up in July, his mind never seemed to focus, perhaps thinking of his mother; it was the month she died in, 1873.
There was light in the far-off cabin, and now he observed a woman walking back and forth, vague shape, a few horses outside the cabin, and the woman was pushing a man away, the other two men were standing outside in the yard, watching through the window.
“Pull her down Charlie!” said one of the men. The other got closer to the window to watch, that is when Blue knew they were unwelcome trouble makers—and then he heard a chair break, and the man in the cabin grabbed the girl, and down she went, and the fence right next to the house, old Dan jumped it, and startling the two men, Arizona struck them with the butt of his rifle, and the impact of the physical blow, dropped them both, and right thou the door, swiftly Dan charged, and the man now on top of a young woman, a child in a crib next to the table, , , easing his horse back into a standstill, Blue dropped his rifle, and pulled his six shooter out, and shot the man three times in the legs, disabled him before he could take flight or fight, crippled him for life most likely, he would never forget this day for sure, and that is how Arizona Blue fought: give them something to remember before they think about doing whatever they were doing again: the woman couldn’t ignore his quick and abruptness (but she was safe, and she gave Blue an exhausted smile). Blue said in a calm voice, to the blond haired young woman, with her blouse torn, and scuffed up knees, “I would have preferred a different way in, but…” and he said no more.
“I’ll get these men on their horses, or bury them alive (the man he shot looked in shock), and if you don’t mind, I’ll have a nice quiet dinner with you, and leave tomorrow morning, I’ll sleep wherever you wish.” (Blue was a man, not a thief, or a person that would take what did not belong to him, that included women, he was taught that is not what a man does).
Dismounting, Blue placed his hands on the man, dragged him outside, and told his friends, whom were now waking up, to take him along with them, or face his guns, and gave them three minutes, no more. And they all left like wild and wing flopping hens.
