They were pale blue, expressionless, but they hinted at possibilities of berserker rage. The other two, whose backs were toward Harrigan, were Garry Cochrane and Jim Kyle.
A few yards behind them lay a dead stranger, face upward to the sky, with the blue canvas of his jacket smoldering in a circle about the neat bullet hole on his chest.
