Raoul saw Nancy Hale staring at him, her eyes full of hate.
Well, if I couldn't have you, he won't either.
"It was you led me to him, Nancy," he said, grinning as he saw her mouth twist in anguish. "When you came here, we knew he was here."
"I pray that you burn in Hell for all eternity, Raoul de Marion!"
"Pretty talk for a minister's daughter," he laughed.
"Mon colonel!" Armand called. "We hear men running this way. Must be Regulators. Let us ambush them. We have time to find hiding places."
"No," said Raoul. "We'd have to silence this bunch."
He gestured at Frank, Elysée, Guichard and Nicole, who were lifting Auguste's body into the house.
Will I truly have to stand trial for murder? Me? I never have before.
He stared into the empty doorway. Had he really finished Auguste? He'd better go in there and see. But there were three armed men in there, and if he had killed Auguste, nothing could stop them from trying to kill him.
