Le Avventure di Lone Jack Kid
by Joe Corso Giovanni Luigi FabbriSull’opera Cavalcate insieme a Jesse e Frank James e lasciate che vi raccontino le avventure di Lone Jack Kid. Erano anni di guerra, gli uomini vivevano e morivano combattendo il nemico… e a volte anche combattendosi tra loro. Cole osservò i tizi di fronte a sé, alzò una mano e disse a voce alta, in modo che tutti, in quella stanza, lo sentissero, “Non fatelo, ragazzi, Sturman era un cane giallo e un disertore, non c’è bisogno che tiriate le cuoia nel tentativo di vendicare uno del suo stampo.” Sette indiani avevano accerchiato due donne bianche, seminude, all’apparenza madre e figlia. Charlie fece un respiro profondo. Buttò fuori l’aria piano. Prese la mira. Fece fuoco, ancora e ancora, un colpo dopo l’altro. Ne centrò quattro prima che si rendessero bene conto di cosa stava succedendo, quindi si lanciò nella radura e sparò al quinto mentre stava per estrarre. “Mi chiamo Charles Longstreet.” Gli uomini si guardarono a vicenda. La comprensione si fece strada nelle loro menti, “Tu… sei Lone Jack Kid?” Sorrise. “L’unico e il solo.” si tolse il cappello, lo sventolò per aria ed esplose il grido di guerra dei Confederati. “Ci vediamo all’inferno, branco di ladri.” diede uno strattone alle redini e colpì i fianchi di Cometa, la quale voltò il muso, si lanciò nel ruscello gorgogliante, l’acqua alta fino alle staffe, e lo attraversò in un lampo schizzando acqua tutt’attorno. Dall’altra parte, i tizi che gli avevano chiesto un pedaggio osservavano quella dimostrazione di abilità in sella con ammirazione forzata.
