Always A Ranger — James J. Griffin

The saga continues...
“That blasted Ranger's still doggin' our tracks, Dan,” my partner Ed Thornton informed me, after checking our back trail. “We haven't been able to shake him.”
“Well then, I guess we'd better do somethin' about him, Ed,” I answered. “You want to handle that?”
“You know I do,” Ed answered, grinning in anticipation. The man was a natural-born killer. “We won't see him again; count on it.”
“All right. Fall back and get rid of that Ranger. I'm comin' with you, just in case you need a backup. Rest of you keep ridin'. We'll catch up with you.”
“Never have needed help killin' a man yet, Dan,” Ed objected.
“I know, Ed, but this outfit always plays it safe. You know that.”
