Pt.2
“Always” ,Pt.2
Matt ,Kitty and Doc.. had a few laughs over the story ..of Festus’ with the fish ..and the mail…
Well, I guess I’d better be on my way… So, you don’t know how long you’ll be? Kitty ask.
Kit, I’m hoping it’s all over and I’m back her in say a week.. but.. As she walked him out ..
Festus’ had Buck waiting for him.. ready to go, Kitty, rubbed Buck’s nose.. You take good care of him Boy!
And bring him back safe ..hear me.. I’m counting on you..! Kit, I’ll see you when I get back…
Leaning in to Kiss her.. Quickly.. they still tried to be discreet… Cowboy…looking at him very heartfelt…
Just nodding… I know Honey.. I will I will.. As he climbed up on Buck… he smiled and said…
Keep our Light burning….and as if reading one another’s minds… placing their hands over their heart…
And patting… they both spoke one word…”Always”
When Kitty returned to the saloon… Sam looked at her… Miss Kitty?.. I think these are dry enough for you to read now? Sam had placed the letters next to the stove.. Thank You Sam! Doc?.. How about a Drink?
After a few hours she began to open the first letter…It was hard to read the envelope…still smelled… but the letter inside was ok… Doc… it’s from Beth! She continued to read:
Dear Momma and Daddy,
Sorry I haven’t written in a while…we’ve been so swamped… but things are well,… progressing…
The baby is getting so Big!.. he misses his Granma, and Granpa Truthfully, I miss you both too!
Daddy, Momma…I need you… Daddy I didn’t want to ask for help.. but, … I couldn’t think of who else to talk to ?… and I know you’ve dealt with this sort of thing before… Jesse and I are in trouble…
There is some man Shaffer ..he is trying to confiscate all the land here in Springfield… and if ranchers won’t sell to him…well…he’s been known to find other means…? Daddy, we’ve worked too hard..
Jesse didn’t want me to write and tell you. .but, He went to see this Shaffer.. and now…he’s been gone for two weeks and I’m worried… no one has heard from or seen him… and no one wants to help me..?
Kitty was now in shock.. As she read.. This to Doc..!… Oh, Doc…I Have to do something! Honey what can you do? he ask. Well, …Folding up the letter not even finishing reading… She can’t be alone…
Jesse is gone.. and well, we don’t know what has happened to him? Matt’s not here.., you heard him ..he may not be back for a week or so.! Now Kitty wait…Doc began. No Doc.. I’m going to Colorado…
I’ll send word to Matt about what is happening … Looking at Sam, I’m going to need you to …I got things here Miss kitty!.. You just do what you have to ..but Miss Kitty?.. What? I agree with Doc ..you should wait till you talk to the Marshal. Now with a miffed look…I can’t Don’t you two understand? Beth is our Daughter! She needs Me, ..Us! Doc and Sam just stared at one another… then Doc started to say…
But Honey listen to me…I want you to sit down here and really listen to me,.. Now grabbing hold of both her hands and squeezing.. Tight.. I know how much you Love that Girl… Believe me I do, But you have no idea what your walking into… I think you should get word to Matt and let him handle this! Looking down and shaking her head…No! ..No!.. Matt’s not here.. And he has that trial… I’m going.. But! If he doesn’t get my message?, I want you to make sure you tell him about this just as soon as he gets back.. Will you do that? Furrowing his brow…why of course I will. Kitty Please think about this? It’s Beth Doc!
Then she headed up the stairs…. Sam, Looked puzzled. Ohhh Doc!, I’m Worried.. The Marshal isn’t going to like this? Sam don’t you worry about Matt…, about all we can do is Pray Kitty, Beth and Jesse
Are all safe here?
