In order to accomplish his mission he must enlist a close friend.

Gabe follows the death march with terrible consequences if Samuel s plan fails. With the aid of his Gramps eight-gauge shotgun, Sammy stops the raid with greater than wished for results. The duel blasts from the shotgun severely injures Samuel, forcing Gabe to assist him to escape. There is no exit strategy a critical failure of the plan. Samuels tactics returns them to town and possible discovery, but Gabe intervenes and leads them to safety. Samuel forgot a critical part of the plan now they must escape the Posse.
