Slocum 267: Slocum's Sidekick

Slocum's teamed up with a runaway - and running for his life!. The last three mail drivers who tried to make it to Prescott turned up dead. But Slocum's willing to take the job - especially since he can barely buy a bowl of chili and a bunk to rest his tired bones ... Now he's got unexpected company for the ride - a young runaway who goes by the name of Chris Patrick. There's something odd about the boy. He's a real quiet type ... though the Colt he carries can do the talking if need be. He seems to have a lot of secrets, too. But Slocum doesn't know just how big a secret Chris Patrick is hiding - and just how dangerous this mail run is going to get ...
