Jimmy Blevins- From the beginning he is not very trusting from lying about his name, to lying about his age. The boys probably thought that eventually he would get them all in trouble or jail. His foolishness shows when he tries to reclaim his horse and ended up shooting someone. It’s not a plot twist when we find out that he was the only one to not make it out of jail alive. He is very foolish, chaotic and unexperienced in life.
Captain of Police- Very corrupt man and easily bribed. He imprisons the two boys at the ranch and then is also bribed to kill Rawlins by the man that found Rawlins horse and claimed it as his own.
