I tell her you’re here? No, I’ll just go back….Walking back lightly tapping on
the door,… I’ll just be a few more minutes Al

the door stood quietly staring … wondering what he could say to fix
everything…. Kit, it me… swiveling around in her
chair,….Oh, Matt… Ummm… Come’on in… wondering if I’d see you ..? Kit ?.... taking three swooping steps
across the room,.. What can I say here?.... That’s simple….. Tell me you’ve come to your sense’s…
and decided NOT to put that Badge back on!....
Kitty, you know I can’t do that!
NO! I don’t know that ! Kit I’m
a target for every Man out there I’ve ever put in Prison…YEAH, and how many
times have you told me ,… If a Man wears a Gun, he’s fair Game , to anyone
..who want to call him out,.. and Matt, you can’t defend yourself like you use

anger…… Kit, Honey I understand this

Roulette with Death!,… Matt your not getting any younger!,.. and you said
yourself there is always going to be someone to come along that’s just a little

? Kitty? … I don’t think we have any
more to talk about! Kitty
Please?... If you don’t mind I have to
finish this ….. Tossing his Hat in his
hands… he turned.. and just before
closing the door looked back ,..eyes filled with pain… as he shut the
door…..She picked up the glass off her desk and smashed it against the wall….
DAMN YOU MATT DILLON!
Matt and Kitty didn’t talk for several days, … all was quiet,… actually no one saw
much of her in that time….
Then early one Morning, Doc, strolled in to invite Kitty for
Breakfast, figured he’d get her out and to talk to him…. But, Al told him she
had been up early, … Doing what Al? he asked.
Don’t feel at liberty to say Doc.
I know she was down at the Depot.
She come back ? Oh, Sure been up
in her room ever since…well I’m going to go up and see what this is all
about? Doc made his way up the
stairs, ... across the landing,.. tapping on the door to kitty’s room,… What is
it AL? ... It Me Kitty …, Doc. Oh, Doc.. It’s Open… when he opened the door to enter, his eyes
scanned the room, only to see all her things sprawled all over the room. Young Lady ..What in Thunder happened in
here? Giving him a smirk… I’m Packing Curly!... Packing?... for what? New Orleans… I’m going Home…. Now wait one cotton Pickin’ minute… No! Now
Curly I know what your gonna say ,.. and your not gonna talk me out of it. My mind is made up! But, Honey this is your Home! No, Not any more Curly… He’s made up his
Mind.. he’s made his choice… And it’s like I said … I can’t watch him play
Roulette and try cheating Death anymore…I just Can’t…..Tears were welling up ,…
she couldn’t hold them back…. I have
to go … I don’t want to …. The thought of leaving … You, Festus,’ Newly,.. And
yeah… The Thought of Leaving Matt is breaking My Heart!... But Curly I’m Dying
inside … everytime I see him hurt,.. I die a little more… Maybe If I’m not here, ?... and I don’t see
what he’s doing to himself….. Doc
stopped Her… from saying anymore he could see the pain she was in,.. Have you

tell him won’t you? I, I,….I don’t know
if I can curly…And you can’t either,. Promise me.? Honey when are you leaving?.....Day after
Tomorrow… Honey you need to tell Matt

Putting her hands up in front of her,… I know,… He going after them… and when
he does ,.. I won’t be here when he
gets back….. I want you to give him this for me… and handed him a fancy
envelope, Doc couldn’t help but notice the scent coming from it… Give it to him when he returns… Please
Curly? She took his face in her tiny
hands… Please? OH,. I don’t like
this … I don’t like this , not one little Bit!.... he
tucked the envelope in his breast pocket…
Shaking his head rubbing his Mustache, ..I don’t like this one little
bit!
