The Meaning of Friendship, Part III

Running back to retrieve their clothes after a refreshing dip in the ocean, Avram and Tommy were fired upon by the gang who held a grudge at being embarrassingly shown up earlier at the Red Dog Saloon. They aimed to settle the score. Bullets flew as the boys ran for cover still barefoot and dressed in only their soggy long underwear. Rabbi Avram found himself caught in a showdown with the meanest desperado.

Could Avram shoot the gunman and the others before he was shot himself? Could he save the Torah he had carried all the way from Poland to help him start a new snyagogue? 

Tommy sustained a bullet wound to the chest as the boys shoot, dispensing with the murderous outlaws! 

Will the wounded Tommy live to ride again? Would he be in any shape to get to San Francisco after all his travails? Could Avram continue as a Rabbi after shooting and killing a man? How to reconcile his faith with the wild American west that had caused him to take another life. For now though, Avram runs to rescue and comfort the wounded Tommy.
