He could have blown his red whistle on such goings-on, but instead he got out the Mauser… and sent a warning shot across Dirty’s bow… at least James Allen knows what sound a gun makes… not KRAKOW or WHAAAMM, but KAPOW! And I don’t mean to nit-pick (OK, that’s what I do here) but a knife? Really? What major orifice did Dirty pull that out of? Maybe he has magic powers, who knows…
But certainly this continues on a new theme in the life of Mark Trail, where other supporting cast members have to save his butt… if not Cherry and Dusty, now Taurus. Kind of anticlimactic, no?
