The jailhouse held a damp, permeating cold that worked its way into Arthur's marrow. A ghost to sheriffs and Pinkertons not long ago, he now sat hunched in a grimy cell, thanks to a tavern fight and one whiskey too many. A guard watched him through the iron bars. Arthur's blue-green eyes slid toward the lawman; it was safer to be written off as a drunk than as Van der Linde's top hand. He let out a heavy, weary sigh and leaned his weight against the unyielding brick wall, aiming a glare at the guard meant to scorch, though the liquor in his veins blunted its edge. The night stretched ahead, long and still.
