“They Speak Without words”
As the sun began to rise and a stream of golden light made it’s way directly down Front street.. Soft sounds of birds were slightly interrupted ,by intermittent sounds of the rough wheels on the raggedy milk cart…
Jeb Carter making his early morning deliveries…Wilber Jones, starting his normal opening…Sam, was opening the Long Branch doors.. sweeping out from the night before’ crowd….
Matt , standing face lathered with soap, before a looking glass…about to shave ..when he heard the jingle of spurs.. and the rambling of a familar voice… Mornin’ Sam!.. Mr. Jonas’!. .followed by the response’s.. Mornin’ Festus’! just then, the door flung open barely missing his arm… Hey! Watch it will ya..?
Matt said. Comin real close to his face with the straight razor. Sorry Matthew!.. didn’t know’d you was there! Festus’ was carrying a handful of Catfish! Fishin’ were ya? Matt ask. Sur was! Catch’d me sum
Pur de’ sum pur’de catfish ..fur et’in…! join me Matthew? Oh, Love to ,but , I promised Kitty, I’d take her to Breakfast… Say Festus’ pick up the mail for me will ya? Awe Sur Matthew!
Being the beautiful morning it was ,Kitty was up and dressed… and down for coffee.. looking forward to breakfast with Matt…. Also ,she knew she had things to go over with, with Sam, since she had her upcoming Business trip… and if she was lucky.. she could talk Matt into a Picnic before she left?
decending the stairs, looking around the room… Sam? ..suddenly popping up from behind the bar..
Back here Miss Kitty. Good Morning!…Good Morning Sam!… is that Coffee I smell? Yes Ma’am
Great I need some…followed by a hugh laugh… what a night we had?.. It sure was Miss Kitty!
Kitty just smiled, I’m not complaining though.. Pays the bills!…at least after we fix the broken furniture?
Sam, come sit.. there are some things I’d like to go over with you.. Sure Miss Kitty. Oh Miss Ellie, came by with some sweet rolls…Now Sam!…smiling…. She said she knows you enjoy them. Sam I think she enjoys, visiting you. Ahhh Miss Kitty? His face was now Flush. Ok, anyway.. I’ll be leaving.. day after tomorrow.. and now remember I placed an order. With the whiskey Drummer.. so that will be in on Friday.
I did place an order for Beer Barrels.. but I’ll be ordering more on my trip.. Also , I hired two new girls..
They should be here by Friday.. for the weekend crowd.. Just then while they were Talking… Kitty sensed a presence… Without turning,… Hello Cowboy!.. Your early… I’ll just be a minute. Coffee’s Hot.
Matt just stood hand resting over the batwing doors… watching her in action…
Slowing entering…what has you so busy… this early? Holding up her hand.. just a minute?
Tilting his head…Ok Sam don’t worry about the books I’ll take care of them when I get back…
Matt jumped in…GET BACK? Get Back from where? Oh, St. Louis.. A Business Trip! She answered.
You never said….. Before he could finish… Matt I was gonna tell you over breakfast…. But Kit?
Oh, Come On.. I’ll tell you all about it.. I’m hungry.. And I know you are!.. when aren’t you?
The two left The Long Branch.. walking across the Street towards Delmonico’s Arm in Arm…
Matt listening intently to Kitty telling him all about her trip….
As the two sat eating breakfast, Matt listened to Kitty tell him about her plans to meet up with Buyer’s
In St. Louis, as she gradually helped herself to bits and pieces of Ham and bacon from Matt’s plate…
Hey!.. Are you going to eat My Breakfast as well as your’s ? tilting her head slightly and giving him a
Touching pout… Maybe Marshal…Joe must have hired someone new ..this is actually Good today!
I wouldn’t know.. I haven’t tasted it yet.. he said rolling his eyes at her… tapping his arm… Oh You!
Just then Festus’ came stomping through the doors…Matthew!…Matthew!.. Thought you’d might’da
Be a wantin t’a see this here Tele-wire? Barney says’a it’s’a mite impertin’ … Festus’ let me have it.
He slowly raised his eyes to meet Kitty’s.. then began to read…
Marshal Matthew Dillon

Matt folded the note up in his hands, shook his head… Well Matt what is it? Kitty ask. It’s Bad Kitty
Festus Find Newly for me and meet me at the office.. Sur will Matthew.. see ya directly …Matt?
Kitty now looking at him Puzzled… Kitty There’s been a Prison break… Oh Matt! Kitty,
Look , This trip of your’s…Yeah? Cancel it …What? Are you out of your mind? Nah uh!
I can’t. Kit, you have to… No I don’t.. and I won’t. “Kitty you can’t leave Dodge“…
Now She was livid and seeing Red!
