The sun was high in the Mojave Desert, reptiles rested under the shade, there

was no cloud in sight in the sky except for one far off north. A well dressed figure in a

long black coat and black gloves, sunglasses with side shields, black bandanna

covering his face, with a beret letting long dark hair coming out the back going down to

his neck sat on top his horse watching dirt being thrown onto a mound of dirt from a pit.

Oh god please, please just let me go, what have I done to you?!, said a voice that

came from the bottom of the pit.

The Man in Black looked down into the pit and saw a man in his undergarments.

The practically naked man with his long hair and sun burnt face looked up at the at the

man in black. What is it?! Ill do anything do you want moneyI have money lots lots of

money I can I can take you to it!. The man in black walks away from the pit to his

horse. The man grabs a can of oil, a lantern, rope and a sandbag. WHERE ARE YA

GOIN DONT LEAVE ME HERE!. The man ties the lantern to the sandbag and leaves

it next to the pit. The man in black looks into the pit with the can of oil in his hand. I

dont want your money all I want is information. If I get what I want then maybe I would

let you go.. The man shovel in hand grinned revealing rotting and missing teeth You

got it mista! Anything you want.. Alright, where is Campbell, Jerado, Wilson, and

Jackson?. The man in the pit looks confused, I I dont know who ya talking about?.

The man in black begins to walk around the edge of the pit, You sure you about that?,
the man begins dumping oil into the pit. The man at the bottom of the pit gets covered in

oil, Hey man what the hell is that for?. Like I said gimme what I want to hear., the

man in black throws more oil into the pit. I dont know who those men are. I swear..

The man dumps the rest of the oil in the pit along with the can, then lights lantern throws

it into the pit, the sand bag is at the edge of the pit suspending the lantern inside the pit.

I know you are lying Curtis! So unless you want this pit to be your grave then I suggest

where you tell me where your friends are!. The man cowers into the corner of the pit I

dont run with them anymore I dont know where they are, last time I heard they are

running a hotel in San Francisco.. The man in black pulls a hunting knife from his lower

back and pressed it against the rope, How do I know if you are telling the truth?. The

man in the pit turned away from him I already told you what you want, why do you want

us anyway?, the man in black loosened his bandana to reveal a bullet wound on left

side of his neck and cheek. Do you remember me Curtis?. Curtis briefly saw his face

before snapping away, No no no no no, it couldnt be.. The man took off his glasses,

Afraid of one of your corpses that your gang left in their wake to come back for you and

your gang?. Curtis shook his head, I...come on that was 7 years ago.. The man in

black put his glasses back on Yeah youre right but that doesnt change the fact you

and your gang executed my family like animals.. The man in black sheathed his knife

and squats in front of the pit, So if you wanna live a little longer then I suggest you give

me something soon?. Curtis stands up and paces around the pit, What does it matter
youre going to kill me anyway.. The man pulls out his Schofield revolver and aims it at

Curtis, It matters how fast do you want to die.. Curtis mumbled, The Axiom, thats

what is called The Axiom.. The man in black holstered his Schofield, Much

appreciated.. The man in black cut the sandbag letting the contents of the bag fall into

pit, Pray to whatever god you believe for a swift death.. Curtis begins jumping at the

walls of the pit, Wait you cant leave me here! HEY!. The man in black mounted his

horse, Watch me..
