Entwined Hearts
Walking across the Boardwalk towards The Long Branch, Kitty
there’s some things we need to talk
about… Look I understand your probably still mad at me, But,.. stopping in her
tracks,… turning to look him in the eye Brows arched… Probably? Probably?...
The raised both hands,… Look Cowboy I’ve said all I’m going to on this
subject,.. and right now There’s a Bath and a Bed calling My name! He stop and thought for a Moment,… then,… We
use to have some great times….. ET’ET’ Oh, No! don’t even think about it
Marshal!.... That don’t work anymore…and she pushed her way thru the Batwing
doors… Following close , behind,…But Kit?... WE,… I really need to talk to you…
will you just listen? Squeezing her
eyes closed, Matt can’t this wait Please?
Blowing out a puff of breath,… in resignation … then throwing his hands
up …. Kitty headed up the stairs…and
across the landing towards her old room , which Hannah had left
,untouched… Matt walked over to the
Bar,… Al ,Beer Please? Sure thing
Marshal! Hannah had followed them back
to the Long Branch, to relieve Al,… Well Matt?.. if I’m not being to intrusive,
how’d it go? Shaking his head,… Not so
Good Hannah,… she wouldn’t even talk to me!,.. couldn’t even get her to stay still
long enough to listen to what I had to say,.. or tell her. ? They both stood silent for a moment then, Matt noticed, a slight grin on Hannah’s
face… What? What’s so funny? Where’s
Kitty now Matt?, Oh, Up there ,.. she said something about a Hot Bath and Bed…
I guess she is pretty tired?... uh huh…..Hannah said. What? Can’t walk away when you’re soaking in
a Hot Tub now can you? Now wearing an
even bigger grin…. Same room Matt, I left it the same as she left it… I believe
you remember the way …Don’t you? With
his usual boyish grin, Miss Hannah… He
tipped his Hat,… Thanks… I sure Do! He
took the stairs two at a time… and
swooped across the landing …Tapped on the door… Who is it? , at first he didn’t answer. Then Kitty it’s me Matt! Let me in?
Oh Matt , not now ,… I’m tired and… before she could finish her words…
he leaned back and gave the door a kick!
Kitty let out a scream… Matt Dillon I, I never…. Ya I know You never
listen! ,.. but your gonna this time!
Down Stairs, Hannah laughed,… she now understood what the
dynamics were between the two …mostly from Doc, but ..some just from watching
the two together, Hannah was a very perceptive woman! Newly and Festus, heard the commotion, as
they entered,… What in tarnation is the roocus ,…goin’ on Miz Hannah? Does you ‘a need me and newly to takes care
of it fur’ ya? Now laughing,…Oh NO
Thanks Festus’ I think things up there
will be just find,.. But?,. Festus’ believe me… they’ll be just fine! Newly caught on as to generally what she
was sayin’ , but Festus’ was still in the Dark… Newly
how’s Doc? Oh, still resting, Bess Ronniger has agreed to come in and sit with
him , and help us out a bit… Why That’s such a nice thing for her to
do?...Hannah , Bess has been so greatful to Doc,.. he has delivered all her
babies…. All? Newly ,.. everyone in the room just laughed… Oh Hannah you don’t
know do ya? The Ronniger have 19 Children!... Good Gracious! They were all in heavy conversation,… when a
young Soldier burst through the batwing doors,…”Excuse Me” ,… Can I have
everyone’s attention please? Can anyone tell me where I can find the Marshal
here in this town? Newly turned, I’m
acting Marshal!... well then sir,.. Then I’ll give this to you.. handing Newly
an envelope… What is this, Well sir, there’s been a Prison Break,.. at
Leavenworth.. and the marshal’s help is being requested? The warden, has been Shot and Killed, and We
have reason to believe, the Escapee maybe headed this way… ? well Do you know who this Prison is
specifically? Yes Sir!,, His Name is
Jake Flagg! Hear the conversation down stairs, Matt went to the door… The room
went silent, ... then from the landing,… Wait one Minute!,… all in the room
looked up… Your telling me that Jake Flagg shot and killed the warden, and is
on the run?, And who Might you be
Sir? Matt Dillon , U.S. Marshal! And I know Jake Flagg is no Killer…Kitty
standing beside him,… Matt could feel
Kitty’s stare,… Her stare was burning a hole in him,…. Kitty… I, I,…. Oh Matt….
She threw up her hands turned and went into the room and
slammed what was left of her door….
Matt made arrangement with Newly and Festus’,.. so he could
go out and find his friend Jake,.. he knew there had to be more to the story…
Jake wasn’t a Killer. Then went back
up to kitty’s room,… as he entered,..
she was sitting at the vanity,… slowly,.. walking up behind her,.. Kit , I came
her to talk to you about something very important,… Ohm yeah, but once again,..
your Mistress calls… or is that what I was all these years? Kitty Please? Well, by all means Marshal,.. don’t let me
stop you…!... Kit, Honey… he now crouched down behind her squeezed onto the
bench seat with her,… so he could look at her through the mirror,… What I want
to tell you ,.. It’s Important!,.. But Kitty I’ve got to do this … For
Jake! Lowering her eyes,… not wanting
to look at him eye to eye,… Just go Matt, Just Go! Kitty I promise When I get Back… Oh, Cowboy
Please,… shaking her head, No Promise’s…
Kit , just One? What’s that? Will
you still be here when I get back?
Nodding in agreement,.. Good he said smiling… then we’ll talk? Be here please?... as he walked out of her
room… she looked at him leaving through the reflection,… Old Habits Die Hard
Cowboy! … aren’t I always?
Matt and Festus’ rode out , as did the army corporal ….
