Kitty headed for the elevator behind Matt… Knowing from the
look on his face ,.. it wasn’t good…. Then she realized,… Jim Dolan ,.. was
following just behind her,… “Miss
Russell? Looking back over her
shoulder,… Mr. Dolan? … Miss
Russell I tried to catch up with Matt , but he is a man quick on his feet…!...
they were both entering the elevator,… her brow knitted,… I’m guessing you know why Matt was in ,…well .. shall I say.. a Rage,..
and brushed passed me like a wind?
Exhaling, and raising his brow… Yes Ma’am…
Mr. Dolan I haven’t seen Matt in a rage like that since….then she
stopped to think ..thinking back to the events that took place with Jude Bonner….
Ma’am, ?... Where would we find Matt?
Maybe you should tell my what has
him so upset…. Well, Matt brought ,… I
mean carried Mrs. Sullivan.. into my office
, now he looked embarrassed …Matt
insisted she tell me who she knew connected to all this?... and how she knew I
had you in custody? After the two of us
interrogated her … she finally broke down and told us …. Kitty looking
confused,… you mean Maryellen knew? …
about the robberies,? ..and…. stopping her… Yes, Miss Russell,… she did … she
was part of it all. She gave us names…
Matt can fill you in ,… we need to stop him… he was really angry… when
she mentioned Doctor Chapman… Now wide- eyed… What John? , she repeated .
I’m afraid so Ma’am… Matt tore out of my office… and I just
assumed he went looking for him….? Oh

Matt took a few short steps to cross the room,… grabbing
John … By the front of his Jacket…. Practically lifting him off the floor,… then
throwing him against the wall…. John was stunned !... Matt ! Matt! What is wrong
with you ? Chapman,.. I should tare
you limb for limb! Matt throw
several punches landing them to his face and jaw….then heard… Matt !
Stop !... Matt ,you’ll kill him.. Stop ! Please..? then in all the fog of anger,.. he recognized
Kitty’s voice… Now she was behind him grabbing his arm … Matt Cowboy ,.. Please… Don’t do this? Jim Dolan was now standing Between John and
Matt,.. Not really where he wanted to be standing , but thought it was best..
from the look of John Chapman at the moment…. Kitty now stood in front of
Matt,… in a low tone … Matt,… Please?...
come sit … talk to me ? Jim was helping John off the floor,.. sitting him
in a chair.. The Jim , looked over to
Matt and Kitty,… Matt?.. I’ll take care
of him.. you should take Miss Russell ..and… NO! .. I want answers! Matt we’ll get answers.. first things first…
Matt, Jim’s right .. Let’s go to the room..

her head,.. NO!... I’m staying…..
Then, turned , and began to walk towards John,.. Matt tried
grabbing her hand…. No! Cowboy,.. It’s
alright,… then standing in front of John,… eyes sad,.. Why ? Why John? Why would you
do this to … John leaned towards her,. But she back up… and Matt Jumped … Touch her and I’ll …Kitty just looked
at matt .. shaking her head. Kitty Honey … I never meant for any of this
to happen. You were never supposed to
be any part of this. Her brows
knitting and head tilted,… John?.. You
were ,,Our …My … her eyes were filling with tears… and words sticking in
her throat… the feeling of betrayal… cutting to the core…..I loved you John,.. he began to smile at her .. this burned Matt in the Gut!... I Loved you as a Friend!... ..How could you betray me.. in such a
way? I defended you … to the man I
Love with all My Heart!... again
John reached out for her hand… NO!..

Now with anger building…..well,

Kitty Honey,,.. I’m so terribly sorry… Squaring her shoulders,.. and
stiffening her jaw,.. she sat in a chair… across from him… Just tell me!
John Chapman inhaled
deeply ,…held his breath for what seemed like forever,. The exhaled …
Kitty,… I was just a Doctor ,..
like any other, ..Oh, I gambled for amusement here and there… ? Living in New Orleans,… I had a good
life…then,.. I began making more and more visits to Miss Sikes Gambling House, that is how I became aquainted with her. The in time,… is where I met and became
Friends with William Sullivan,… who in return was
friends with Wayne Russell…. We all began a tight friendship…the, I received,
the letter from Galen, ..asking me to

Now Matt began getting angry. …Chapman!
