Pt.2
A promise/A favor /A Savior
A few days had pasted, Doc showed up early at the Long Branch for morning coffee with Kitty..
Morning Sam!.. Oh, Morning Doc!.. Coffee’s Hot! Miss Kitty should be down soon, I heard her moving around up there… Thanks Sam! Doc?,…You mind if I talk to you a Minute? Sam , What’s on your Mind? Now Doc.. you know I keep to my own business,…But?….Now Tugging his ear, and swiping his Mustache…very puzzled,.. Sam ‘s statement was correct. He keeps to his own business…but, something was bothering him. Now Doc maybe I’m out of Line , But When I was opening up this morning….
I noticed…uhhhh… Oh maybe I shouldn’t say anything..? No Sam , if something is bothering you this Much…come’on out with it…. Oh, alright.. I noticed ..the two Young Kinkade girls..Doc! wandering into town…and Doc??? They didn’t …What Sam? I don’t know ?…something was just wrong that’s all.
The two men were so, involved in their conversation they never heard Kitty come down the stairs,…Morning you two!… when she got no response,… Well, That’s a First!…Huh, Doc Said.
I said That’s a First!…What? What’s a First? He asked. Something must be pret-ty interesting that you can’t even respond to a simple Good Morning? With a strange scowl… Oh, Sorry Kitty.. Sam and I were just… Oh Yeah Sam and You were just…now with a Smirk… but quickly, she realized… the expression on Doc’s face….!… Curly? What’s wrong? What happened? Is it Matt? Did Festus’ get a wire? Did someth…
Throwing up his hands….no, no, no,….relax.. Honey ..Matt’s fine.. I think? What do you mean you think?
She snapped out. No, I mean this isn’t about Matt. Oh, then what has you so distracted? I tell you over Breakfast… smiling,.. Oh you treating me to Breakfast Curly? No, Your treating me to Breakfast !..seeing how you’re the one with all the money…Sam says you had a great night last night… smirking at him with a raised brow,… Oh he did , did he… ? Remind me to have a talk with My barkeep later? Wrapping her arm in his …let’s go Curly …far be it for me to let our esteemed Town Doctor Starve!…now Laughing a loud Barrel laugh!… the two walk across towards Delmonico’s ….
After ordering coffee and breakfast, Kitty furrowing her brow… Ok Curly what has you so rattled?
And what’s this have to do with Sam? Ahhh Kitty, Remember, when I asked you if you’d be willing to ride out to the Kinkade farm with me?… sure?… well, I think we may need to do that sooner ,that later? He said shaking his head. Curly what is going on? I’m not sure Honey… Last week Bess, was in town and told me she saw Mary and the girls and she thought something was wrong… Mary couldn’t wait to get away from her… then this morning, Sam says when he was opening up … Maura and Molly,.. were in town..
Tilting her head,.. Alone? Doc?.. how’d they get here ..it’s at least 10 miles or so? I know Kitty.
Doc,? Are they still in town? Don’t know I haven’t seen them. Oh, Doc …What do you think is…
Taking a deep breath ….Kitty…I rather not think about that… Well, let’s just ride out there then Doc?
They finished up breakfast, and headed to Doc’s office ,…he put together his bag and he got his buggy…
Kitty let Sam know she was going with Doc, and that they’d be gone, for several hours…
No Problem Miss Kitty , don’t you worry about things here…I can handle things…I know you can Sam Thank You!…and she met Doc outside…
As she was about to get into the Buggy, she thought she saw one of the girls inside Mr. Jonas’ Store…
Wait, Doc… is that ….sure looks like it….wait right here Doc…I’ll be right back…
Kitty quietly entered the store, Maura and Molly were both in the store.. Maura was looking through the rack of Dresses…and Molly…staying close behind, both hiding their faces.., Molly looking at hair ribbons…Kitty , walking up close to Maura, Ahhh, that is perfect for your beautiful green Eyes… Oh, Ma’am. .I,I I wasn’t going to …relax sweetheart, it ok… why don’t you try it on?… Oh No, Ma’am, Poppa would.. Then she stopped. Looking.. scared. Kitty feeling out the situation… Oh , I’m sure he would agree
You would look Pretty holding the dress up to her, Maura flinched when Kitty touched her shoulders, just dropping her eyes.. then her head….No Ma’am.. I think We’d better go…Poppa is waiting.. and she quickly grabbed Molly’s hand and ran out of the store. Kitty stood in deep thought…. Mr. Jonas’ approached.. Miss Kitty, is everything alright?…. After a Minute,…No, Mr. Jonas’ Nothings alright ….
