[Location: Arrival Plaza][closed to Long, Goodie]

The last thing Billy sees -- the last thing he looks at -- is Goodie's flask. It's been thrown clear out of Billy's waistcoat, punctured through and through with a bullet hole, and that's how Billy knows he's dying. No metal flask is sturdy enough to stop a bullet fired from a Gatling gun -- which means the bullet's in his chest now, in his heart, assuming it's stayed in his body at all.

( Billy's not sure he'd be able to feel whether or not there was an exit wound, even if it mattered. )
