sunlight reflecting off the polished metal spooked his horse causing the mare to jump off the trail, stumble, and spill him into the bushes. Stunned by a blow to his head and weakened from his previous injuries, he lay there a moment to catch his breath and clear his head. Stirred by icy water seeping through his clothes, he crawled toward the trail, ready if the woman came at him with a weapon.
