Fearing his men will leave, Favor tries to cross, losing a man. The men leave not realizing what the Colonel's plans are. You could easily make this about a local warlord who is looking for people to join his cause to unite the Pecos Empire into an actual empire instead of a loose confederation of gangs who squabble among themselves when there's not a large enough outsider nearby.</blockquote>
