JC walks round El Paso and enters into his new saloon Corbyn's Corner and asks the clientele if they have heard any news on the Apache Kid's whereabouts

Many had heard of the atrocities alleged to have been committed by the Apache kid. One claimed that the Apache Kid had murdered thirty men with his bare hands in a five minute stint, someone else swore that the Kid was working in a boarding house in Hachita, making broth for the miners. Another man believed the Kid was the true assassin of Abraham Lincoln - a feat made all the more alarming when you consider he was only five years old at the time! The more superstitious among the crowd claimed he was a ghost masquerading as a man who could only come out at night, and one believed he was a curse placed on the White Man for displacing the Indian Nations.
Wherever the Kid was, he would be difficult to find. He was initially raised by an officer in the U.S. Army, before joining the army himself and making his way to sergeant before he was linked to the crime of murder. This was not one ordinary individual. His skill in subterfuge, stealth and ambush tactics would lead the rational thinking lawman to believe he was probably seeking shelter in Apache territory.
