Last Job for a Killer The governor said, ``You've come for amnesty?````That's right.`` Slattery's mouth was dry.``How come?`` the governor breathed. ``You, of all men?``Rage thickened Slattery's voice. ``Why not?````Amnesty for Ben Slattery. You want to quit your side of the law and join ours?``Slattery said ``Ours? You don't mean ours, you mean yours, don't you Governor?````Ours,`` Fallon barked. ``Mine and the rest of the law-abiding citizens of this Territory. You want to join us?``Slattery was silent.``Why? Why are you here? Why now?````Because,`` Slattery said slowly, ``I'm sick of the whole damn' business. Because I'm tired of it all.`` He stood straight and he knew he was telling the truth, even though it was a lie. He wasn't seeking amnesty. He was seeking the easy way to put a bullet into Fallon's heart.
