A Western Adventure by Jared McVay I nudged my heels against the side of my horse and walked it over next to the prince. "Your man said you want to talk to me." The prince got an irritated look on his face and asked, "Do you realize who I am?" "Seems like I heard you're some high mucky-muck - a prince or something," I said. The prince was now, seething with anger. "I do not like your attitude, Senor'. I do not think you realize the danger you're putting yourself in." "And what danger might that be?" I asked with a big grin. The prince took a deep breath, then said, "I hold your life or death in the palm of my hand. One word from me and my soldiers will shoot you down like they would a rabid dog." I looked at him and said, "You give that word, and I promise you, you'll be the first one to die."
