Pt.5
“Revenge”
Taking off in the direction Mary and Amy pointed to, Matt wasn’t sure what to expect?
As he raced down Front St. Will Ronniger only saw the streak of Matt passing him…
When Will got to the Barn, he saw the girls.. upset and trying to explain to newly and Festus’
What they thought happened ,and what they told Matt… quickly they hugged Will.. Pa’. Mary began
Something has happened to Miss Kitty… What?.. Will replied. And where is your Sister?… Pa’ we don’t know…Miss Kitty and The Marshal noticed she was gone and they went to look for her… now the two girls were in tears… Newly looked at Will,… Will it looks like Katie is with Miss Kitty… but we can’t be sure.?
Festus’ decided to follow Matt.. Knowing he could use his tracking skills…
Well, let me get you two home ..to your Mother , then looking back at Newly.., I’ll be back ..to help..
Will arrived home with Mary and Amy.. Bess was waiting on the front porch.. Looking puzzled…
Land sakes Will Ronniger…what is wrong?… Where is Katie? Both girls ran to Bess..
Still in tears,… what’s going on here? Mother, Will said… There been some trouble..
Our Katie and Miss Kitty are missing…the Marshal is out looking for them…OH, Will…
I’m going to head back.. to see what I can do to help… say a prayer Mother..
As Will drove off the girls began telling Bess what had taken place…Ma’ I told Mr. O’Brian that there was two men watching Katie ..earlier…when Pa’ took us to the Long Branch to meet up with Miss Kitty…
Ma’ they won’t hurt her will they? Amy asked. Now girls.. don’t go getting ahead of yourselves..
We don’t know yet if anyone took them… Yes Ma’ we do at least Miss Kitty, we saw a man carry her off..
Bess just hugged the girls tight…don’t you worry if Katie is with Miss Kitty.. she will take good care of her.. And the Marshal and Festus’ they’ll find them.. You’ll see..
Being so dark it was difficult to track anything… but Matt wasn’t giving up..
Just before dawn, starting to move slightly…, head still fuzzy. .and hurting…Kitty was trying to focus…
Trying to remember what had happened…but as she tried to move.. she realized… she was bound…
“Hey!.. Hey who’s out there?.. who are you? What do you want? The more she moved the more her head was hurting… still trying to focus, trying to figure where she was.. and how’d she get there….then thinking aloud… “Where is here”? where ever it was it was dark ,dusty and damp…
Slowly she tried to push herself into a sitting position…. From what she could make out… it seemed she was under ground… “Great!.. no one will hear me down here” her head was beginning to spin..
Lying her head back to gather her thoughts and still the swirling going on in her head…
She began to remember the last thing she was doing…, Katie! Yes that’s it… I went to look for Katie…
Quickly looking around.. Trying to adjust to the dark…. She began to hear a slight whimper…
“Katie Honey is that you?” at first nothing.. then the whimpering continued.. Honey ..I’m here..
I’m gonna figure out how to get us out of here.. Trust me.., I’ll think of something….
Just then.. Katie, cried out…help me !.. Honey, I will.. where are you…?…. Kitty tried following her voice
Only to see she was tied up inside of a cage… that had been chained. Kitty squirmed over to her..
Oh, sweetheart….it’s ok…I’m gonna get you out of there.. then us out of here… where ever that is!
Kitty stayed as close to Katie as she could… trying to wiggle her way lose.. from the rope knots..
Don’t you worry sweetheart…someone.. I mean Matt will notice we’re missing.. And I promise you..
He will come find us.. Now Katie stopped talking…Kitty wasn’t sure if she was still conscience..?
Speaking softly to herself….”Oh, Cowboy…Please come find us?” if anyone can ..you can..
Kitty could hear laughing above her…she thought she recognized the voices…But, from Where?
