Wild West - Part 6
“I am your current target, aren’t I?” Asked James, and Tom nodded in response.
“So they want only 1 gunslinger, instead of 2, huh,” James grunted. “Just the very best one. So let’s give them the very best one and settle this the proper way. With a good old fashioned duel.”
Without saying a word Tom nodded again and began to dismount his horse.
“Just out of curiosity; it was you who killed the manager of that steam turbine the other day, wasn’t it?”
Again, Tom nodded in response.
“That was my target.”
“I know. It was a warning. To tell you I was coming.”
“And now here you are. Ready to kill your father. Tell me, have you ever stopped to imagine what all we could do together, or did you just blindly follow orders?”
“I work alone, and so do you. We could never work together, and you know that.”
“Ah, a true son of mine,” said James, with a sense of pride in his voice.
Already positioned roughly 30 feet apart, all they needed now was to agree on the signal to draw their weapons.
"Turbine"

This story is going "Highlander-ish": "in the end, there can be only one. " I'm thrilled about knowing if the survivor will be the father or the son, or something else will happen (I hope for that)
