If Rattlesnake Slim isn't at the old homestead, somebody there will know how to find him. You suppose that's as good a place to start as any. They won't want to tell you anything, of course, but you fully intend to kill the man who killed you.
You knock on his door loudly with the butt of your pistol, being sure anybody inside knows you mean business. You came prepared with what to say and ask, but when Slim's pregnant wife answers the door, your mind goes blank.
