“ Lifeline Between The Hearts”
When Walker and Miller returned to the cabin, Granny Abigail.., had gone to her room to sleep..
This leaving Kitty alone in the outer room …. Knowing the old woman was sleeping,.. She began looking
For something to use as a weapon… when she heard them just outside the door..
Walker , seemed to keep pretty much to himself.. quiet disinterested… but Miller on the other hand..
A bit more feisty … when he entered…Kitty was standing by the window… watching his every move…
Ahhh… were all alone? Now maybe we can get to know each other like I said before? Nah uh…
He was starting towards her…. Stay away from me!…. Now she was circling the room… don’t come near me …your crazy! Ahhh.. Com’on now Red.. you entertain Cowboys all the time.. in that there Saloon…
Ain’t that right… Nah uh… I own it.. I get the say of who I entertain. And it wouldn’t be the likes of you!
He was now backing her up to the stove… I told you …Don’t Touch Me!…when he reached out to grab her
She reached back and felt a cast iron pan …held tight knowing it was hot.. And swung …catching him across the side of his head and face…leaving him screaming…..! Stepping over him and running out the door …not thinking about where she was running …or where Walker might be…. Walker heard Miller screaming.. and came running to the cabin….saw him… saying.. where is she? You let her get away?
She burned me!.. get her.. don’t let her get away…! Hey , I didn’t sign on for this? You just want me to side track the Dame’. I did my part… I’m out of this…hey remember she knows your face now too.
I’ll see where she went ,but,… just find her…! Walker headed out to find Kitty….
Festus’ and Jesse’.. were headed back to camp….Festus.. Where do you think Miss Kitty might be?
Don’t right know Jesse’ ..but, if’n somebody was’a showin’ Miz Kitty where Mr. Allison’s Camp is ..
They’d’a be there by now? As they were riding.. Just ask…Festus’? Matt says you’re a pertty good tracker.. I know it’s geetin’ late , but do you think you can still pick up any tracks? I sur am gonna do my plum best…Jesse’ that is why I’m’a takin’ my time watch where we’re’a goin here….
As the two were ridin’ Jesse heard a horse approaching…but couldn’t yet see it…. Festus’ listen?
Sounds like a rider…? Then they remained quiet… hearing….Miss Russell?… you can’t stay out here all night… I’ll find you sooner or later..! Make it easy on yourself.. come out now…?… look I’ll ask Nice ok? I’ll even say Please…there…I said Please… Your trying my patients… when Festus heard that …
He rode right for him… Wait right there ..! Don’t you move ..where’s Miz Kitty? What’cha done to ur?
Who are you ? And , why should I answer any of your questions? I’m the U-nited States Deputy…
And if’n you don’t tell me what you’a did wit Miz Kitty.. I’ma gonna git on you like ugly on’a ape’!
Kitty was still moving…. But tired… not sure where she was … and now doubled up in pain….
She decided to find a spot under a bush to rest… falling asleep …..
Walker took Festus’ and Jesse’ back to the cabin…… where Festus’ tied both of them up…
When Abigail woke she .had no idea what was happening.. wanting to know where Kitty was.. and
If she was coming back? Jesse’ talked with her a bit.. and explained to her that Festus’ was taking the two
Into town to the Sheriff…trying his best to make her understand that what they had done was Kidnap Kitty.
They decided to also take her to town… Jesse’ figured he would stay behind to look around for clues to finding Kitty.
Jesse’ rode around the property…and out by the road… as he did …he noticed a buggy.. coming towards
Him…then he recognized the driver…. Doc! Doc Adams? Over here ….It Me.. Jesse’ Clayton….
As he got closer… Doc was surprised to see him… what in Heaven’s name are you doing out here?
Festus’ and I were on our way back to the camp and we came across this cowboy Walker.. he’s the man who was suppose to be bringing Miss Kitty out there..? Turns out …he was working with a Jim Miller
Jim Miller? Doc repeated. That’s the Man from dodge that matt was after. Yeah so I understand.
But, Miss Kitty must have gotten away from them .., and now we can’t find her… ahhhh, Jesse’
Doc? I didn’t want Kitty to come here. What is it Doc? Kitty hasn’t been feeling well…
Let’s hope we can find her… well that is what I was doing taking a look see around here ?… she’s on foot!
As Doc and Jesse’ were riding and talking…. Festus’ caught up with them…Jesse’ ? Doc…is that you..?
Yeah it’s me …. Hurry I need ur help… it’s Miss Kitty!… I found ur!….this here a way….
The three quickly rush to where Festus’ found Kitty curled up under a tree…. Doc hurried to her side…
Kneeling down at her side… Kitty, …Kitty Honey …it’s Doc.. Can you hear me? Can you open your eyes? Slowly she started to move… growning … ohm Doc?.. is that you? Yeah Honey it’s me?
Don’t move ..are you hurt? It hurts Doc…hurt bad….what hurts ? She was still curled up ….
Ok, were gonna get you up… Festus I need your help here … Jesse’ you too… get her in the buggy for me… Jesse’ said I’ll get her… Kitty looked up… Jesse’? looking at him puzzled. Yeah Miss Kitty
It’s me Jesse’… you just rest… He place her in Doc’s buggy… Doc the cabin they had her at is just back this way…good let’s go…. Doc? Kitty said. Matt?…have to go to…. Don’t you worry about Matt..
We’ll take care of him…. I promise!
