Instantly you know that the motorcycle approaching Tombstone is being ridden by the assassin who murdered your three companions. The fear that has haunted you during the past two days returns once more to tighten your stomach as hurriedly you search for somewhere to hide. The Tombstone courthouse is the nearest building and you rush into its lobby as the assassin rides into town.

Ahead, the doors to the courtroom are chained and padlocked, preventing easy entry, so you look for somewhere else to hide in this old, historical building. Two options present themselves: you can climb a wide staircase to the first floor, or you can run along a corridor that leads away to your left.

If you wish to ascend the stairs, turn to 71.

If you decide to follow the corridor, turn to 171.
