As, he returned to to the tow, he talk with Mr. Webster, one of the neighbors, who told him that he had heard the shootings, as the Matson family did across the street.

In the morning, the Rider changed back to his identity as Doc Masters and pondered the strange incident in his office. Suddenly someone called, Mr Warren,who had an arm injured. Warren said that he had an accident when he was cleaning a gun. Doc Masters was immediately suspicious, because Mr. Warren lived in the street where the shooting happened. Doc Masters quickly attended his patient and decided to investigate the incident. In the night, the Black Rider observed Warren providing money to a man named Carver, who was blackmailing him. Carver threatened Warren to not slap leather of him if he didn't wanted more that a flesh wound.
