The Longest Journey
PT.8
Riding back along the dirt road trail, enjoying the quiet
cool breeze of the morning…..
Cowboy, Kitty said as she tilted her head slightly looking over at him, smiling
a entriging smile… I didn’t have a
chance to thank You.. for everything , with all that’s been going on… Kit, We’ve both earned a well deserved rest… I’ll just be glad to see
Dodge… giggling slightly…yeah me too…
Before long, they could see signs of town,…. Things seemed quiet,.. Kit?.. when we get in
…I want Doc to take a look at you…Oh Matt ..I’m fine ..I don’t … NO! Kit, Benson Damn near strangled the life out
of you.. You still have bruises on your neck..
, But Matt.. I.. .. Kitty,… It not up for discussion…but I,I ….close
subject! As they pulled up to the
front of Matt’s Office , Festus , Doc and Sam .. all crowded around…Matthew,
Miz Kitty,… it is’a sure de’ Plum good t’a see’s ya both! Festus, It’s good to see you all too..
Kitty said smiling at them all. Sam
helped Kitty down, Miss Kitty, Been taking care of everything here so you have
nothing to worry about. I wasn’t worried
Sam Thank You. .placing a hand on his
cheek. She started to walk towards The
Long Branch, then she felt a hand grab her arm….. turning to
look, Matt was staring directly eye to eye…Kitty? Matt ..I told You……et’ this way… Doc, I have a patient for you to look at, not
a co-operative one ,but … A Patient still…
Matt said not letting go of her arm.. leading her towards Doc’s
office… Matt what’s this all about? It’s nothing Curly,.. he’s just making
something out of nothing. NO! I’m
Not!!!! Doc she was nearly strangled,..
Oh, .. I’m… before she could
finish her sentence,.. Doc cut in… “Coming with me Young Lady “ NO ARGUMENT” giving Matt a look that let him know she wasn’t
happy.. she followed Doc…. As they started to ascend the stares… they heard a
loud Gravelly voice …”DILLON”!!! I
been waiting for you!.. and before Matt could turn he felt a Sharp pain and a
burning .. in his back just under his ribs.. he cringed.. and dropped to his
knees…. Festus , and Sam ran towards
him and Festus Shot at the Man… hitting
him ..he was now lying in the street moaning… Kitty and Doc were kneeling over
Matt… Kitty rested Matt’s head in her Lap….Cowboy,… I’m here… Doc’s here.. your gonna be alright you hear
me? All he could do is mumble
,,..ahhhh , Kit-ty,
Quickly, Doc looked around… Sam?.. can you… not waiting for Doc to
ask.., I got ‘um Doc.. I’ll get him up to your Office… another man also helped
Sam…. Doc just looked at Kitty,.. for a
moment she froze,.. then, all she could manage to get out was “ DOC”… will he……Is he gonna be….
