One Tough Gringo
John J. Law
- Enrique
- Cortes
- nodded
- as
- he
- rode
- with
- Salazar.
- The
- two
- men
- rode
- their
- horses
- outside
- the
- church
- grounds.
- Cortes
- had
- rode
- with
- Salazar
- for
- quite
- some
- time
- since
- his
- youth,
- and
- was
- now
- a
- young
- man
- of
- barely
- 21.
- Admittedly,
- he
- did
- not
- like
- Salazar,
- or
- his
- methods
- to
- keep
- power.
- Cortes
- grew
- to
- manhood
- with
- a
- healthy
- respect
- of
- what
- Salazar
- was
- capable
- of.
- He
- only
- rode
- with
- him
- because
- he
- felt
- he
- had
- no
- choice.
- After
- all,
- Salazar
- was
- a
- wealthy
- man,
- and
- riding
- with
- him
- ensured
- Cortez
- of
- a
- somewhat
- decent life.
