Excepts:
Ennis burst through the door and leapt to one side as Joe and Jose followed close behind, revolvers drawn.  Paco's body and those of three other men lay sprawled where they had fallen at the first onslawght.  Hecker sat behind a table idly shuffling cards.  A revolver lay on the table near his right hand.  Joe looked around the room.  Where was Simmons?
    "Put the guns away," Hecker said.  "It's time to talk."
