"Name's Clementine," says the coyote, "and I'm with you, no ifs ands or buts. I am you."

"Now you're just talkin' weird," Jed scolds her. "And how come you're a girl if you're me? I ain't no doctor, but I think I woulda noticed something like that."

"I think it's something about that duality of man thing," replies Clementine. "But if you ain't noticed, hombre, we have company."

Jed looks up to find what Clementine's already noticed: the two giants he was stalking earlier have turned to watch the conversation unfolding between him and his new-found coyote. So much for the element of surprise. He stands, brushing off dirt, and hooks his thumbs in his belt. "Can I help you?" he calls.
