It was Afternoon, when Matt and Tom got back into Town…as they made their way down front street
Sam Doc and Festus, had searched all over town for Kitty.. with no luck…  She hadn’t said anything to Sam about going anywhere… But as he said to Doc and Festus… That didn’t mean she didn’t have something to do last minute.. And just forgot to tell me… Doc … looked at Sam… Swiping his upper lip… Sam you don’t believe that any more then I do.. Kitty is much more responsible then that!   You saw that room.
There’s no way anything was that important that she would have left.. And not told you .. And left things like that..    The three were discussing this when Matt walk in…. Oh, Matt Good your back!..Doc said excitedly.   Doc, Yeah, something happen?… Matt , Kitty’s gone!   And her bed wasn’t slept in. 
Hummmmmmm. Is that so?    Is that so…! That’s all you have to say?   Doc now yelling at Matt.
Doc, maybe she got up early made the bed , and went shopping?   Or had something important to do?
Marshal?, Sam now upset at Matt’s reaction as well… Marshal?… Miss Kitty would have told me.
And all the things from supper last night are still up there.    If you don’t mind my saying so? .. I think this is serious.  Well, Boys… Let’s not get too concerned right away…

After Taking care of a few things around town… Matt rode out to Jake Worth’s place…..
Putting Buck in the Barn.. So no one would see him there….  He very quietly opened up the door
And peeked inside… Kit…, Kit Honey… Did you find the note I left in here…?   
The silence was so Deafening  ….!    Kitty?… Matt went back outside thinking he’d look around
Still No Kitty!    He took a look down by the stream….  Now he started to worry…
He didn’t see any sign that she had even been there….   Was it time to take Doc, Festus and Sam’s Concern’s Serious?     Where could she be?   What could have happened?   She was Fine last night.

Matt rushed back to town….

Matthew, Festus rush to him when he saw Matt coming down Front Street…. Barney , Just Gave me this
Here Telegram fur ya… says it’s from Washington… !   Says it’s from the President of this here U-nited
States!   Shall I read it Festus Or did Barney tell you the rest too?   Matt wasn’t in the mood for the usual
Games.   Matt dismounted Buck… and Festus offered to take him to Moss’ but Matt said Not too….
The message read:

Matt now had to make another trip to the General’s camp… but also wanted to figure what could have possibly happened to Kitty… ?   Festus, I’m gonna need your help… what can I do fur ya Matthew ?
Just name it.   Get Newly and Meet me in the office…  I’ll do ur Matthew .. See you there directly…

Doc, Sam…. Matt what is it?.. Doc could now see the concern in Matt’s face… Doc, I think something has Happened to Kitty?… Matt!… No Now, Doc.. I know what your gonna say… and I don’t have the time to argue… and I can’t explain right now..  But I have a bad feeling.. In  my gut!   Oh, In Your Gut Huh?
