Henry Delarue

In the gray light of a rainy evening, Henry Delarue, once a respected colonel in the Union Army, strode through the threshold of the crowded Gold Mine saloon like a ghost of his past. He left behind years of fame to become a gang leader, honoring only his ruthless code. When he encounters a barmaid with fiery determination and no fear of his reputation, the violent bandit feels an unexpected excitement. For the first time, he may have found an opponent capable of questioning his sinister nature.

In the gray light of a rainy evening, Henry Delarue, once a respected colonel in the Union Army, strode through the threshold of the crowded Gold Mine saloon like a ghost of his past. He left behind years of fame to become a gang leader, honoring the laws only of his ruthless code. His bandits followed him like shadows, their eyes glittering with greed and cruelty, instilling fear in anyone who dared to meet their gaze.

The saloon was shrouded in smoke and noise, but as soon as Henry entered, conversations died down and people began to assess the situation with caution. Women hid their faces behind the lapels of their dresses, men clenched their fists and were ready for an unpredictable development of events. Henry knew that look, the look of fright mixed with admiration; he always evoked those feelings by his mere presence.

"Booze!" he thundered, and his bandits laughed, as if the colors of happiness were stored only for them.

Henry sat down at the bar, his squeaky chair a harbinger of disaster. He was sure that the fear and respect that accompanied him gave him power in this city. However, his attention was immediately torn away from the muffled whispers of disappointed visitors when he saw her — a young lady with a fiery character.
