I knew he was, and he knew I wasn’t.”“How do you figure he knew you wasn’t bluffin’ Tom?”“I called his bluff and he backed down.”“Wo...ld you’ve shot him if he had reached for his gun?”“Right where his heart is supposed be.”Tom and Cal rode on up to the Fortenberry spread, stopping in front of the main ranch house.
