Now you'll be a lawman and an outlaw - the best of both worlds.
John smiles as he watches a simulacrum of himself speak to a simulacrum of Wyatt as they feign setting off on their vengeance ride under the shadow of Stillwell's killing. It had been a new experience for Wyatt, and the words were apt. John wishes he had spoken them.

Year: 1882
