PT.3
It was a Typical Saturday night, In Dodge,… whipping cool
winds or not…Long Branch packed to the
rafters…Forrester’s crew were coming in in shifts… it was the end of the Month, Cattle and
Horses were being sold at a Great price, so the men were being Paid… For the it
was time for Drinking Poker and
Woman! And They were told,… Best Place
in Dodge ,… The Long Branch!
It was rowdy… Sam and Kitty were busy,… Kitty had hire on
another Barkeep to help out Sam… along with a few extra girls,.. she had just
lost a few …one of the down falls when the single and widowed ranches take a
specific liking to one of her girls and are ready for a Wife.
Rudy was fitting in fairly well, Started a Black Jack
game…The Drover’s were in….Kitty noticed one young Cowboy,… a bit out of
place…Different? Not a Drover?...he was very interested in playing poker…wanted
in a game… One of the girls, took over
the Black jack.. and Rudy started dealing the poker…, Kitty, walked over ..”Can
I get you Boys anything to drink”? a
few of the cowboys , smiled at her and
said ahhhh, Our Good Luck Charms here… Sure , then you gotta stay here with us…
so we win !..she just laughed her loud laugh and went for the drinks,.. as she
walked away… the stranger asked …what’s this about a Good Luck Charm? Then quickly , one of the guys answered…you
mean you never played with Miss Kitty , the Good Luck Charm By your side…
Whoa!.. Can’t lose Pal! The stranger
just shrugged it off…
They were into a few hands, Kitty came back with a tray of
drinks,…One of the cowboys grabbed her around the waist,.. Come’om Miss Kitty
Take Pity on us poor workin’ stiffs… Be our lady Luck.. then kissed her on the
cheek… “behave yourself Mel!” as she pulled away.. why You gonna tell that Big
Marshal? Giggling… Just Might! She hung around the table a bit… and by
chance they were winning!
After she walked away, The stranger, followed her…, standing
behind her…Excuse Me …Miss Kitty Is It?
Turning quickly feeling him standing close behind her, Yes That right.
If you would Ma’am I ‘d like it very much if you’d come back to the table with
me while I play?... Oh Now Look Mister, It’s really busy in here tonight … and
I ,I They say you’re a Good Luck Charm…
Good Luck Charm,.. That ‘s Silly! She said. Well, while you were standing
there…seems you were Good Luck.. Look Mister I don’t believe in Luck… The Stranger was very persistant … oh alright I guess I can humor you for a
little bit,… Sam , I just be a little while…Sorry… Sam Laughed..No Problem Miss
Kitty!
So, she went to the poker table … with full intention of
humoring The New stranger… this was something she had seen many times, but
didn’t like to encourage. Usually she’d
et the girls hang at the tables. Hand
after hand The stranger was winning., finally, Kitty had enough… Ok Mister, I
have work to do …your on your own… Have a good time Fella’s…and she walked
away…. Then, Hand after hand The
Stranger began Losing… and Losing Big!
He was now Getting Angry….
The Stranger was insistent that Kitty come back to his
table, so he could win back his Money!...Look Mister .. enough.. I told you, I
had nothing to do with you winning or not!...
Yes You Do he shouted! I was winning as long as you were here, then you
left me… now I’m losing and Losing everthing!.. I have to get it Back! And I need you to do it..You have to be here
..so I can win it back!... Look Mister your Crazy! The Quickly, he turned to Rudy,…You!..
it’s you then .. You cheated me! Now
wide eyed, Rudy ,.. looking at Kitty,… No! I didn’t Miss Russell .. I swear.. I
didn’t cheat anyone! It’s alright Rudy
. Look Mister… I want you out of here…!
Sam Go Get Matt!... Miss Kitty, Marshal’s not back yet… well get
Newly! The stranger was still shouting
at Rudy,.. and before anyone saw it .. he pulled a Gun and shot him! People scattered…and were screaming…Don’t
any of you move…. Or I’ll shoot… You… talking to Kitty… you come over here..
with me… Move fast,.. I don’t have a
problem shooting a woman…move! Kitty
did what he said. You didn’t have to
shoot him… quickly he swung backhanded.. connecting across her Jaw… knocking
her to her knees…. Any one moves and
I’ll shoot her right here. Now I’m
leaving and This here “Miss Kitty” is coming with me.. that way I know …I will
not have any of you people making a big mistake…cause if you do … she gets
hurt! In a quick motion, he grabbed
Kitty by the hair, yanking her to her feet,.. and forcing her out the
door….. as they started towards the
horses he had outside, and grabbed
someone elses horse.. then Newly came towards them.. Kitty yelled out.. to warn
him… but he turned and Shot at Newly hitting him in the leg… he fell to the
ground! And The Stranger rode off pulling Kitty with Him… “You My Security
Honey”!
