Epilogue
“Frank, I got a letter here for you.” Adam Turner yelled as he pulled up in front of the cabin.
His daughter, Christine, opened the door and helped Major Frank Walcott down the steps to the buckboard.
“You didn’t have to come out to get it. I was gonna bring it in to you.” Adam said.
“That’s alright, Adam, I need to get up and around. Chores are buildin’ up and I have to get at ‘em pretty soon. If I don’t start moving, I never will.” Walcott said as he took the letter from Adam’s out stretched hand.
“Who is it from Frank?” Christine asked as she saw tears welling up in Frank’s eyes as he read the words.
“From Enrico and Rosita. They are in El Paso and will be coming back next week. They got Bandit.”
“Oh, that’s good news, Christine said as she put her arms around Frank’s waist and laid her head on his chest. I can’t wait to see them again, and of course, Bandit too.” She added as a smile spread across her face.
Frank just nodded his head and turned, limping back to the house.
Christine knew he was both happy and proud. Happy to hear from Enrico, knowing he got Bandit back and proud of him for accomplishing something Frank should have taken care a long time ago, killing The Texas Kid.
