Turns out that Felix was too late to save Book's fiance, and that she evidently died a very painful death from the poisoned wine that Skinner mailed her. He lies to his friend though, saying that her death was painless because he doesn't want him to feel any worse. Book gets petty revenge by peeing on Skinner's grave before leaving town... not knowing that he'd already revived by this point and is smugly waiting for a chance to escape.
The Carparthian vampires who hired Book and Felix to capture Skinner are glad that they're finally leaving town, but are concerned that he might rise. They're aware that some of their blood splashed on him, you see, and he was a pain to begin with, so they're not exactly looking forward to him potentially being an immortal superbeing like them.
One of the vampires has a plan though, they're already in the midst of a scheme involving buying tons of property in New Mexico, developing it and then selling it on after a few decades. Part of this plan is that they need to irrigate the land to actually make it useful, so they decide to dam the river near to Skinner's grave and leave him at the bottom of a new reservoir. As they assume that if he becomes a vampire like them, travelling in sunlight would be a hazard to him, so putting him under sixty feet of water should keep him in his place too.
So they do that, the valley is flooded, and Felix's dad Hector become mayor of the relocated town. Will Bunting, Jim Book and Felix Camillo decide to stick together, as they ride around the west having adventures (which Will then writes down and publishes).
Six years later, in 1886, Felix got married a woman by the name of Benita, and four years later they had a daughter by the name of Abilena, though sadly her mother died in childbirth. While this is going on, Bunting has written a novel bashed on the "real" account of Skinner's death, though Book is uncertain, as he didn't really see as much as his writer friend, and says that people won't actually believe it.
