Katie still hysterical… frozen in her spot… Matt ,and Will ran quickly to her and Kitty….Newly and Festus’ grabbed LeMond and Eugene… Jake checked on Ruba Lee.. she was dead.. the shot Katie took hit her directly in the back.. Eugene and LeMond.. yelled to their Ma’… then to Jake… Is she…. Is she …? Jake looked up.. sorry boys.. She’s dead!…. They looked at one another…Ma’s Dead.!!. The animal.. Killed Ma’…
Will took the shotgun from Katie, and wrapped his arms around her,…it’s alright Honey…Pa’s here..
I got ya.. your alright now… she just stared at him with a blank stare…. Then shook her head…faster and faster… saying …incoherently …she helped me.. she helped me…..saved me… They Killed Missss
Matt was holding Kitty.. The bullet meant for Katie caught Kitty in the upper back towards her left shoulder…as she jumped in front of her…to protect her.. from Ruba Lee’… Matt holding her in his arms… Kitty , Kitty ..honey it’s me Matt…your gonna be alright ..we’re gonna get you help.. I promise!
Newly quickly ran to Matt and Kitty…Marshal.. let me take a look see… then he looked at Jake..
Jake?.. do you think you can help us get her to your place? Sure can Newly,…Newly Helped Matt get her up on to his horse.. and hurried to Jake house…sending someone into town for Doc…..
Will… tried to take Katie ..back to town but, she refused to leave Kitty’s side…They had a hard time convincing her Kitty was still alive…
Festus took LeMond and Eugene, into town.. and locked them up.. then stopped by the Ronniger’s to let Bess’ know Katie and Will were ok.. And let her know what happened. Bess’ insisted on coming out with Doc.. to help
When Doc and Bess’ arrived…Katie, hugged Bess’.. Ma’ she saved me.. they Killed her…holding her face in her hands…”OH No Darlin’… Miss Kitty is not dead.. Doctor Adams, and Mr. O’Brien are go to take good care of her.. And you and I will help…. You’ll see …I Promise Katie Girl… Now let’s you and I …
See what the Doctor needs us to do.., ? Maybe get some hot water? ..some dressings?.. can you do that darlin’ ?… Katie just nodded… and went off to get the water and Dressings…
Walking over to Doc.. Bess’ looked at Kitty…land sakes Doctor Adams…what in the world have they done to poor Miss Kitty?
Bess’, she’s lost a lot of blood.., they shot her in the back…and one of them shot her in the leg… and that wound is older… Doc?.. Katie tells me Miss Kitty saved her… I’m not surprised…Doc said.. swiping his mustache. Bess I need to get this bullet out,.. I’m going to need you to keep Katie out …she can’t see this… sure ..Doc…Bess’ agreed. Will, Bess’ began.. I need you to keep Katie occupied…Doctor Adams don’t want her to be in there while he removes the bullet…understand? Ok Mother.
