I hit desperately at the marshal’s strong hand and try to see Papa—to call for him—but my vision blurs and my heartbeat pounds, loud and overwhelming. Everything begins to fade to black as I pull and pry at his fingers until I can’t feel my own anymore. I can’t think. I can barely see . . .
“Okay—okay! Please, don’t—”
“You’ve nearly cost me everything, Mr. Mason, and I can’t have that.”
The last thing I remember is being lifted up into the marshal’s arms, the faint tang of whiskey touching my nose before everything goes completely black.
