“Miss Kitty, We Need You”
Kitty was very distracted through supper… although the girls.. Continued to talk on and on about Dodge
And their plans.. And then the topic change to Father Gerald… And before long.. He showed up in the dining car… Good Evening Ladies.. Nice to run into you again…. Father Gerald.. We were about to order desert.. Won’t you join us? Kitty, still feeling uneasy… quickly.. said Oh Beth ..Maybe Father Gerald Has his own plans for this evening .. You girls shouldn’t monopolize all his time….? Oh, No…. Miss …
Russell is it? With a raised brow… Kitty just watched him… Yes . Are you traveling alone Father?
She asked. She just watch for his reaction…. Well I do have two of my workers along for the trip…..
To help with my supplies.. of course. Yes, of course. She still could rid the feeling in the pit of her stomach…
Later , she had talked the girls into turning in for the night…at least that limited their time with father Gerald ,till she could figure out why it bothered her so much ??? She was having a hard time sleeping..
She was running it through her head what Matt had told her… thinking about all those families…..
And worrying about their wives , mothers, daughters, sisters, etc. it was aweful!.. Despicable!… Matt , and the law just had to catch these damned dreadful people. I know Matt will find them and put them away!
Kitty ol’ girl… your talking to yourself.. You really need to get some sleep…. These girls will run you ragged… then she started to laugh. Matt Dillon if I didn’t know better I’d think you did this on purpose…
Just when she started to laugh at herself again… she felt herself be thrown from the bed .. In a hard jolt!
Whoa!… what on earth was that? Then she heard screams… and felt the train flipping to it’s side…..
She could hear the three girls calling for her… Miss Kitty! Miss Kitty! Beth !..I’m Coming..!
Are you all ok? I don’t know .. Now they were crying…. Kitty climbed out of her cabin and crawled to theirs… everything was tossed…. All three girls were huddled together.. crying! I’m here!.. I’m here!
All three grabbed onto her. Crying hysterically !… ok calm down , calm down.. We’re all ok.
Beth asked ..what happened? Kitty, brushing her hair off her face… I think we derailed and flipped over.?
But, all that is important is that we’re ok. Now let me see ..are any of you hurt? All three looked at themselves… sniffling … don’t think so?… maybe a few bruises … well , we can live with a few of those.
Let’s see if we can crawl out of here? Everything was tossed everywhere. What about clothes? Well…
Ok, grab, something if you can.. But , let just try to get out of here. It was obvious to Kitty these girls never were in a dire situation before….
When they finally made it to a doorway….. Kitty realized, it was only two sleeping cars that had derailed off the train.. And flipped off the track. Leaving maybe fifteen people stranded. Now not only was the nerves in her stomach kicking in but the hair on the back of her neck were standing up….!
Suddenly gunshots were heard….. The girls all gathered around Kitty gripping onto her… What was that ?
They all screamed. Who’s shooting? Kitty’s uneasy feeling increased when from behind the bushes came
Father Gerald and his two workers…. “RELAX LADIES” if you all do as I say .. No one will get hurt…!
As he was pulling off his collar. Kitty’s jaws tightened…. What the Hell is going on here? As she slowly pushed the girls behind her. Now, Now.. Miss Russell … all in good time… shaking her head, nah uh.. I don’t know what you think you up too ,but you won’t get away with it! Just who are you? Now he was laughing at her… Oh, I guess you have figured out I’m not Father Gerald?…Is that a Fact? Propping her hands on her hips…. It doesn’t really matter who I am Miss Russell … All that matters is you ladies are going to make me a very RICH MAN!… then he started to laugh out loud… Kitty’s temper flared…
And she hauled off and Slapped him as hard as she could… scratching him across the face. Oh, now…
Miss Russell.. You really shouldn’t have done that… nope you shouldn’t have .. And he hit her back.. Knocking her to the ground… the three girls.. All crowded around her …Miss Kitty are you ok?
Rubbing her jaw, yes …I’m fine… Now ladies … we have transportation for you over here…if you will kindly follow me? And that’s not a request! Leaning close Beth , said what are we gonna do?
Don’t you three worry. I’ll take care of you .. Just trust me ok? I’ll think of something…
As she stood…Kitty quickly looked around ..trying to guess where they were?….
