                                                                                “Revenge”


Late afternoon, Matt sitting at his desk, writing up a report.. suddenly felt the presence, of someone standing
In the doorway..  Well, Cowboy!.. Do I have to wait all night for you to take me to supper?   Kitty?
Sorry, I was just finishing up here.. before I came over for you…    I lost track of time..   Throwing her head back chuckling…. Not sure how I feel about that?… Not very flattering …   Kit, That’s not what I meant…
Look I’m finished up here… Come’on … Let’s go.. placing  his hand at the small of her back and walking over to Delmonico’s …

Hello Joe,.. Miss Kitty ..Marshal, be right with you…  Ok Matt, What was so distracting?    Oh, that was the report for Jake.   For Jake?.. Is he alright?.. she ask with concern.  Yeah Kit he’s fine ,but it seems he’s missing some supplies.. and things from his ranch…What?   Tools, Rope, some chain he bought, from     Mr. Jonas…  and it looked like someone, camped out on his property.  Actually left a fire burning…
Oh Matt!   Any idea who?   No not yet.. he answered.   But I’m keeping my eye out …
Reaching over to take some of his food, so casual… Hey!.. Looks like I need to keep an eye on you too..?
Well, I can arrange that Marshal… giggling…    after, finishing their meal, well marshal, don’t know about you but looks like I’m going to have a busy night.., !   Should I be jealous ?…sliding her arm around his waist… Not a Chance.. Cowboy!   As they entered the Long Branch, she headed right towards her office..
Oh, Matt.. Com’ere ..he followed her.. as she went into the office …what is it..?   I’ve been thinking bout’ those people in the saloon yesterday… Matt, I still ..  Kit, like you said you see so many odd people come through here…Don’t worry about it…he insisted.     Quickly securing the door…  sweeping her into his arms….Now, …Matt Dillon what are you doing?    Stealing a Kiss from My Favorite Gal..
Oh,.. Do I need to worry Cowboy?     Cupping her face in his large hands,.. No!.. No, Not a chance…
Then Kissing her passionately.     Kitty you spoil me… My pleasure Marshal!  Now , I really need to finish up… are you kicking me out? He asked with raised brows…  Laughing heavily …Come back later for a night cap…I’ll sooth your wounded ego….   


It prove to be an active night, several Bar fights…which Matt had to arrest a few men to let them sleep it off
Meaning he had to spend the night at the Jail…  thinking to himself, …“I guess I can kiss away, Kitty soothing My Ego Tonight..?”

Come morning, he released them with a warning…  made his way around town for morning rounds…
Stopping by at the Long Branch…  Sam.. Morning Marshal.  Miss Kitty should be down soon..
I’m right here Sam!   Oh Morning Miss Kitty… Morning Marshal…as she walked closer, Missed you last Night… I’m sorry Kitty.. the Jail was full, I couldn’t… raising her hands …I know …, I know.. Coffee?
Wish I could but it’s a mad house out there…Who’s idea was it to celebrate the 4th of July  anyway?
Oh Matt!…  seriously Kit,.. these folks don’t need a party to get into trouble… It will be great!  You’ll see.
Maybe for your business… Not Mine!

More and More folks were coming into town, Dodge house was full… Today was the Big Day!
Well Kitty, Best get back out there.. See you later?    Of course…smiling at him

As he left the three strangers, were just outside ….Mornin’ Marshal.. Morning Folks.. enjoy your day..
Ma’ that be him ..I know’d it… but it be like he don’t member’ us?     Eugene, Lamond…That be best.

As they walked away.., Sam was standing at the batwing doors…  Now curious … turning back..
Miss Kitty..?  Yes Sam?   Those folks.. from yesterday…I think you may be right about knowing them from somewhere?  Or the Marshal anyway…?  Why’s that Sam?   I just overheard them out front…saying the Marshal was the one and he don’t recognize them…. ! Miss Kitty..? Do you think we should warn him?
Sam, I do it.. I talk to Matt… Maybe it’s someone he sent away to Prison?   Sam said.   Maybe Sam…

The day was filled with entertainment… Will brought the girls in for the barn dance…. Stopping at Kitty’s
Kitty was getting ready to go to the dance when she heard a knock… Sam, It’s open…  It’s not Sam Miss Kitty.. it’s us …Mary. Amy, and Katie…  Oh come in girls…  Well now,.. Don’t you three look just Pretty as a Picture..  Thank You Ma’am… Pa’ brought us in to town for the dance…  Good.. I think you will have a wonderful time.  I’ll be just a minute…

As Kitty and the Girls descended  the stairs… The woman and her boys were sitting at a table …
The stared… Ma’ ?    quiet boys…  But Ma’ that be the woman…!   Quiet I said…
Now the woman stared at the girls.. particularly at Katie…. It can’t be…. she said to herself….
Just then Matt walked in…Well Ladies…?  To what do I owe this honor?… Mary shyly said
Oh Marshal… then the girls all giggled.     Marshal?.. Do you think you can handle all of us tonight?
Smiling at him.. then Winking.. Yes.. Miss Russell ..I’ll do my best… We ready to go?   Right this way!

The three stranger’s, quickly followed behind them.. Keeping a safe distance….
