“Ma, look at this,” Mark’s insistent voice called her back to the wanted board.

Alice arced an eyebrow curiously at her son, but instead of explaining, he lifted one of the ‘Miners Wanted: See foreman of Copper Queen Mine’ signs. Just under it was a Wells Fargo wanted poster for one Ben Wade.

Unlike many of the other ‘Wanted’ listings there, this one had no accompanying picture, because unlike many outlaws and gunfighters, including Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday and the infamous James and Younger gang, Wade had never allowed his picture to be taken. It simply stated in large block letters, ‘Wanted Dead or Alive, Ben Wade, for robbing the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. A reward of $2500 will be paid for his arrest and conviction.’

No one had seen hide nor hair of Ben Wade in more than two years. He’d escaped from Yuma Territorial Prison less than three weeks after arriving. Rumor had it that he’d been unable to form a new outlaw gang. He had always a reputation as a tough but canny leader, one who had zero tolerance for errors and stupidity among his followers. In the past, Wade’s luck and incredible success with the planning and execution of the robberies he’d spearheaded made the risks well worth the monetary reward for his gang members.

I've updated this with lots a few chapters over the past couple of months. I posted Chapter 10 on Nov 8, and am currently working on Chapter 11 smile
