Carradine's men have set up booby traps all over the town, and they'll be spreading out in this area as well. The narrator says that he's almost out of grandma's room, so he has one more mark on his shoulder. He's not sure if it's a gun shot or not, but he does know that the kid who told them about the tumbleweed band is back. He also says that the dark glasses and top hat look like they're waiting for someone to show up. He tells the narrator to check on his ankle, and he says he'll have to go back and shoot the kid if he can't get away. He doesn't want to shoot him in the head, he says, because he thinks that rondario isn't so kind after all. He says he doesn1t have the nerve to kill the kid, but that if he did, he'd kill him right away.
