Fields of Lilac
The threat hung between them in the air
Wyler wasn't one to easily scare
3Gun watched him descend the stair
Swaggering as though without a care
He checked the windows in the hotel
And the surrounding rooftops as well
No sign as far as he could tell
A concern on which he couldn't dwell
Wyler wiped a hand across his mouth
And undid his hammer thong
Sweat was beading on his temple
Something had definitely gone wrong
********
They had tried to grab Brody but failed
Buck felt the nose give under his fist
The one with the rifle ran fast away
But this one he hadn't missed
Choosing an option Brody chased after the runner
Upstairs to the balcony landing
By a window in the corner, he saw the gunman
Rifle aimed right where 3Gun was standing
He ran and as he dove, cried out a warning
Then a shot from the rifle and more in the street
The two men crashed through the window of the hotel
And only Brody got to his feet
Wyler was splayed on the casino front steps
A blossom of crimson on his shirt
Ten yards away 3Gun was hunched over
On hands and knees in the dirt

Brody lifted him to his feet, he knew he'd been hit
'Can you get me to my hammock?'
The words were faint and he leaned close to hear
'I want to smell those fields of lilac.'
