He is a messenger of death.
And of revenge.
He looks like a preacher.
The narrow-cut frock coat reaching to his knees is black.
The hat, too.
Like the shirt and the pants. Even his eyes are black and the pupils seem to leave little space for the whiteness.
Only the collar is white, as one knows it from a Reverend. So white that you may wonder how he manages to keep it so clean for only one day with all the dust that is in the air. But when he opens the frock coat, you can see the belt with the special holster. Two Mauser C96 pistols are put in – with the magazine key in front of the trigger in which up to twenty bullets can be loaded. Unusual weapons here in the West. Unusual weapons with an unusually large fire power.
Even a Winchester does not have such a big magazine. Whoever has seen the two Mauser, suspects that for this preacher mercy is not necessarily the highest commandment.
The left sleeve is bruised slightly when he bends his arm. Sometimes, when the sleeve slips back, you can identify the handle of a throwing dagger.
The preacher directs his horse on this gray evening in 1901 in front of the HAPPY SINNER SALOON, the only whorehouse of Carson City, Nevada.
The preacher gets off his horse and fastens it to the crossbar.
Then he goes through the swinging doors.
Immediately, all eyes are directed towards him.
The preacher lets his eye travel through the room.
His gaze lingers at one of the saloon girls. She’s wearing a dress with a deep neckline. Her hair is red.
