Contents:

Tears of joy
Place a gun upon his shoulder
The Cardinal goes to war
Enchanted by her beauty
Those who stand in our way
Soldiers of darkness
Shoot my brother down
A wily con man; a dangerous woman
The water cure
Nobody can say we aren't loyal now
Cut, shuffle, and deal
Cheerleaders
Peace?
Another savior come to earth
World on fire
Sly and crafty eyes
On the great deep
I am not in condition to go on
In a tugboat kitchen
Men like these would rule you
Seeing red --A little man, cool but fiery
Policeman and detective
Aftermath
