Kill Or Die (2015)
“A strange young man sat in the canoe between him and Flintlock. “Got a prisoner,” Flintlock said. “One of Ritter’s killers.”
“I’m an engineer,” Leander Byng said as he climbed onto the deck, a statement that earned him a swift kick in the butt from Flintlock. “You speak when only you’re spoken to,” he said.
“There were others,” Evangeline said. “I heard Basilisk sing his victory song.”
“Yes, the alligators did for one of them, the other was killed when the dirigible crashed.” Flintlock decided ...not to go into details. Then, “O’Hara, bring the rope and I’ll tie this ranny to the deck.”
“No need,” Evangeline said. “He can’t go anywhere.”
She was still dressed like a librarian, but the sky was full of clouds drifting from the Gulf with the promise of more rain, and Flintlock figured she’d put off visiting Cornelius to a more pleasant day.
“Maybe not, Evangeline,” he said, “but he could murder us while we slept.”
