William noted the reluctance of the outlaws to show themselves around the sides of the train. He considered moving through or over the freight cars to get a shot at who was back there. He did not know how many were left. He figured there couldn’t have been too many; maybe three or four? It would have been nice to know the answer to that question.

[i]“Come on you two; let’s shake up some dust.”[/i] Sergio yelled from the front of the passenger car. William and Phineas looked up at Sergio acknowledging the invitation to join the others in their push into the Express car. William knew whoever was towards the rear would be slow in moving forward along the train and decided it might be more important to protect the cargo in the Express Car, since that was what they were hired to do.

“Finney,” Billy muttered. “Let’s join the others. You’ll do fine, kid.” Billy got up, trotting toward the other end of the passenger car with Finney on his heals. When he reached Sergio and Taylor, he saw Misthikoman wrestling with the Navajo man. There wasn’t a lot of room in the Express Car. He then considered his idea of climbing onto the top of the car to shoot the men towards the rear. “How about we go up on top of the car here and stop anyone from entering the express car from the other end or from hitting the engineer? There isn’t a whole of room to get by Misti and the Navajo.”

Billy became squeamish on the idea of riding on top of a train while moving. Maybe Sergio or Taylor would join Billy. It certainly would not be prudent for all four of them to go up there. Two could do the job.
