Re: Episode 2: The Mine
At Radcliffe's words, Morgan drew his Colt and leveled it at the man. "Mr. Radcliffe, understand me. I'm perfectly content to shoot you dead where you stand if you won't come peacefully. I seriously doubt that any of my superiors would find me at fault for doing so."
He turned his attention to Wilder "Mr. Wilder, if you truly believe your safety would be best served by leaving the area, I won't try to stop you. I would ask you to give me that signed statement before you take your leave. I'm sure it would be very helpful when we get Radcliffe to court."
Shaking his head, he answered Darling. "Mr. Darling, with all due respect, I estimate that at a steady ride from the wrecked train, I could make Dodge in a little over an hour. Two hours at most. I've taken prisoners longer distances by horseback as far back as the War. Provided I can scare up enough mounts and have a few hands like Gabby to keep Radcliffe in check, I'd prefer to take him there.
Morgan paused before continuing. "I'll need to contact someone from the Agency as quick as I can. They need to know about Radcliffe and his experiments. And you're right about Bob, Mr. Darling. Innocent or not, there's no way we could take him anywhere safely." Morgan looked to Phelps. "Marshal, if you could keep an eye on him for a few days, I'll let the Agency know about Bob's whereabouts. They'll know how best to deal with him."
