Recapture

3Gun found some tracks,

a pair of horses passed this way

Trouble was, he couldn't tell

if it was months ago or yesterday


The thought brought him to a sudden stop, 

his lips went white, his face went pale

What if these tracks weren't stannbear and Steel

but Carob Bob's and old Doc Vale


The skills they thought he didn't have

He employed and put to work

He found the trail he was looking for

And allowed himself a smirk


Smoke from the fire stirred in the sky

3Gun crept close and scanned the scene

stannbear was drinking coffee with Steel

He levered the action on his old carbine


They heard the noise and drew their guns

3Gun called down to raise their hands

They whispered together

Then obeyed his commands


Tied to their horses and unhappy at best

stannbear and Steel returned to the town

3Gun untied them and took them inside

Cadmus Croc saw them coming and adopted a frown
