Seeing her temper was flaring,  as she began to storm out of Delmonico’s… Matt rolling his eye’s..
knowing full well what he was in for…  Kitty wait where are you going now?  Back to the Long Branch!
or do you have an objection to that too?   Kit, wait I’ll walk you back… Don’t bother.. I think I’m capable
of finding it all by my lonesome …throwing her head back and walking off… Kit wait?  He called out following behind her…  as they made it to the Batwing doors of the saloon…, Now, Kitty .it’s for your own good… until I get more information on this prison break… now looking at him tight jawed.. That’s just it,
Matt there have been prison breaks before.. And will be again.. I’m not going to put my life on hold!
Kit ..Will you be reasonable?.. as quick as the words left his lips, he knew … What?! Reasonable!
Matt Dillon… I swear.., you make me so furious.. Do I ask you not to go on your trips ?…oh, let’s see because …ummmm.. There dangerous ?…. Just for a moment… with a boyish grin.. under his breath he said  Well yeah…?   I heard that!.. she said .   Look Matt I’m going and That is That!… un-knowing to them Doc walked in behind them.. saying nothing just observing ….once Matt realized he was there ..ahhh
Doc,… good.. Maybe you can talk some sense into her?   Bout’s what? Doc ask.  Before Matt could answer, Kitty said.. Your friend here wants me to cancel my trip.. because he has a Prison break to deal with.. .. Rubbing his mustache…hummmm I see..?   Is that all your gonna say? Matt said in response.
Doc, it’s not safe for her to leave Dodge.. Right now anyway..?   Doc looked over to Kitty.. And you don’t agree?… No I don’t.. I have a Business to run .. and things to do, I can’t put my life on hold every time a prisoner escapes.  Now Matt.. I’m done with this argument.. I’m going!  And she headed up the stairs….
Matt looked to Doc.. Thanks you were a big help!  Et uh…not getting’ into that one..!   But, Doc?
Matt How long have you known Kitty…Doc…Matt, you know as well as I do ..if she wants to go….
Need I remind you.. What happens when Kitty makes up her mind…Pix-Axe?.. Ballard?  throwing up his hands…yeah.. and we know how well those turned out? Matt replied.  Matt I didn’t say the end result was always good… I’m just saying the more you tell Kitty “NO” the more she will Fight you on it!.. And I for one ..am not getting into the middle of that…then beginning to chuckle… she still likes and is talking to me….                     Sam can I get a Drink.. and give my friend here one.. he looks like he needs it? 

Now what is this about a Prisoner escape ?  Leavenworth’s warden sent a wire this morning.. he’s sending more information later as they get it…Doc.. You know how vulnerable Kitty is ,if someone is loose and wants to get to me?   Shaking his head,.. yeah I understand.  Doc, sometimes she can be soooo .et ,et..
Remember Marshal …that’s part of what you Love about her…. Really? ..why can’t she just listen to me?
Matt , Kitty a smart woman…, she’s learned a lot from you… and she can take care of herself….
Do you really think she’s in danger?…  I don’t know ..Doc, I just want to protect her…I know that Matt
And so does she…trust me so does she.

The next day , Kitty avoided Matt.. refusing to talk to him…..  Matt stayed in his office most of the day
waiting to get word from the Warden at Leavenworth….?   If she was going to go he didn’t want her mad at him.. but, at this point there was no way around that.   Neither was giving an inch.

Early on the morning. .. Kitty was leaving for her trip to St. Louis… Matt was up and waiting, hoping for one last try at getting her to change her mind.   The Long Branch doors were open…Sam was setting up…Matt debated on going over to try and talk to her once more..  As he approached the batwing doors….
Sam was sitting at a Table with Ellie… she brought a tin of Fresh Hot Sweet Rolls.. But this time…didn’t just drop them off like usual. She sat and had coffee with Sam.    Oh, Good Morning Marshal!
Miss Kitty’s not down yet.   Yeah.. I know Sam.. Is she still?… Leaving on her trip Marshal..? Yes
Just then He felt her presence and looked up to the landing… there she stood…in a deep green traveling suit.  For just a moment he was lost in thought of how Beautiful she looked…. Morning Kitty!  Matt!
As she descended the stairs….Is there something you need?   Standing tossing his Hat in hand….
Kit, is there anything.. anything I can say to… Quickly.. she jumped in…No! no, nothing…as a matter of fact.. I’m gonna be late if I don’t get over to the depot   …Kit ,there’s time…  Sam, she said, I’ll be back in a week.. Sure Miss Kitty.. I’ll take care of everything.. just like you like.  Can I walk with you…? Matt ask.
If you like…  she didn’t want to stay mad at him ,but she hated when he tried to tell her what to do.
Look Matt. I’ll be in St. Louis … and I’ll only be gone a week.  I’m sure you won’t even know I’m gone?
Oh, I’ll know… and I’ll worry.   Don’t be silly?    You don’t even know if those men are anywhere close to here ?    Kit, that’s just it… I don’t know, and if it’s anyone that I put away… she raised her hand…to stop him…Matt , Please! don’t start this again?…Just then …The Stage driver , announced he was ready to leave.. You riding along today marshal?   Kitty with a raised brow…well Marshal?  You could come along if you think I’m in so much danger?    Kit, you know I can’t do that.   Well then ..that is that!  See you in a week…  Burt.. helped her into the Stage car…Matt was holding his breath ..wanting to scream “Kitty Don’t leave”! But, instead. .he watched the Stage..  with the beautiful Redhead he Loved and was so worried about pull away…
