How It All Goes Down
- The four men are camping. Pig had volunteered to join the crew, and he's up for late watch tonight.
- This is observed by two Shoshone boys named "Little Bear and Rabbit" (2.23.9). They're thinking greedily about how much cred they'll get by stealing a few horses.
- So they do, waiting until Pig falls asleep just before dawn. They manage to get four of the horses out before an errant knife strike awakens our porky friend.
- Pig approaches them, shouting, gun in hand. Little Bear is terrified and in an attempt to save his buddy stabs Pig with his knife.
- The rest of the group runs up a few minutes later, just in time to watch Pig breathe his last.
