Masks we Wear?
Locating a Telegraph office along Canal street, Matt entered the building…approached the
clerk The Man taking notice to
the very large Cowboy standing before him,
Good Afternoon , Stranger! Not
from around here? Shifting his hat back
just a bit,… No Sir,.. I’m a United States Marshal ,out of Dodge City
Kansas. .. What can I do for you
Marshal? I’d like to send a wire…. Handing Matt a pen and paper,… Just write
it out ,and I see it is sent.. will you
be waiting for an answer? Asked the clerk.
Oh, No that won’t be necessary.
Then Matt preceded to write……
Dr. Galen Adams,
Dodge City, Kansas.
Will be leaving New Orleans.. tomorrow, should reach Dodge , by Noon ,on Wednesday…
Matt Dillon
He handed the paper to the Clerk,… Thank You and have a nice Day! You do the Same Marshal… as he left the telegraph office,… Matt couldn’t
help but feel he was being watched,… followed even.? Something in his GUT, made
him want to return to The Hotel….To Check on Kitty!
Standing inside the room … still with the gun pointed at her… I suggest you put some shoes back on,..
we’re going for a walk… Where
too?...Why? Oh, stop with the
questions… you’ll know soon enough. Ok,
just don’t get all excited… there in the other room.. Ok,go on get them.. make it quick… he didn’t follow her all the way in ,
but kept her in his view… come’on… your wasting
time! Now here’s what were gonna do
..We’re going to leave here smiling and laughing… so no one suspects anything,…
you say anything to anyone,.. and I will shoot you! They went down to the lobby, Eduard’ was by the door,… Miss Russell… would you like me to get you a
carriage.. she could feel the gun in her side….. Oh,
Eduard’ that won’t be necessary…. “The Marshal and I “,now she tried to shift her eyes towards the Man
beside her ,are Just taking a walk …
maybe through the park? Eduard’
stared back at Kitty ,.. she tightened her mouth ,…furrowed her brow… giving
him a sign something was wrong….he could detect the look of distress in her
eyes…… Oh, Yes Ma’am enjoy your walk….
As they walked passed him… he noticed the jacket covering the man’s arm.. which
made him wonder what else was being hidden?
As they left, Eduard’ hurried to the front desk,… asking the
desk clerk ,if he had seen the Marshal leave ?
why yes I did , just a short time
ago, the clerk responded. Why? I believe Miss Russell is in trouble…
Arriving at a building Kitty couldn’t identify , … it was
cool, damp,.. made of granite stone.. with a few sparse pieces of furniture all
around… her captor, had blindfolded her once he was out of range of the public
eye. Temper heating up,… What’s this all about ?... Why did you bring
me here? In a sinister tone, he
replied,… Relax, I just might have a plan
for you… of course it will be to my benefit … but then again you may enjoy
yourself too? All the while
sliding his fingertips along her cheek and jawline.. Slapping his face as hard as she could,.. Don’t you ever touch me again! You make my skin crawl We have
time to kill ,.. till we receive company….then without warning backhanded
her … knocking her to the floor!... stunned and trying to shake off the Pain….. You have no idea …smiling
…sarcastically … Matt will Kill you! She could feel the blood running from her
mouth… he reached down grabbing her by the arm, pulling her to her feet… and
tossing her towards an area in the corner,… with a make-shift bed….She tried to
pull away from him…fear was making her temper flare more….as he threw her he
tore her blouse… Oh, Well you always were
a Beautiful Woman… but then again you knew that didn’t you..? now trying to
pull the torn Blouse together,… and
fuming Mad inside,.. Giving the chance
I’ll kill you myself! He grabbed
for her again,.. now overpowering her,…
but she still fought as hard as she could to stop what he had in Mind… then,
suddenly a shot rang out… and she could feel his full weight on her…. Oh My…. Then she felt the weight lift…
only to see another face, before her…..she was speechless!
Matt, returned to the Hotel ,… Eduard’ didn’t see him come
in,… he went straight for the room,…as he entered,.. something in the pit of
his stomach ..told him something was wrong,…Kitty? Not seeing her anywhere,… he
checked the second room,.. still no sign of her… he walked into the water
room,… didn’t notice at first ,but as he turned to go back to their room,.. he
spotted something on the counter….
In her Lip-stick,… she wrote ….
Jean’… Gun ,.. Help! Not missing a
step…he ran through the room and down to
the lobby,…. Spotting Eduard’ by the doors…. Ahhh, Marshal ,am I glad to see you … Miss Russell…..Eduard’ did you
see her?… was she alright? Marshal, I
think she was in some sort of trouble,,? then ,went on to say,… there was a
gentleman with her,… Matt rolled his eyes,.. Ha Gentleman! But ,Marshal she talked to me ,…
saying that they were going for a walk , maybe through the park… Matt started
to turn, but, Eduard ‘ looked at Matt,… I knew something was wrong, when she
said he was you! Marshal the park is
that way,… pointing …towards it… How
long ago ? Matt ask. Oh, 30 minutes? Thank You!.. Matt said as he left in the
direction of the park… Now to figure ,… when to go from there…?
Kitty stood stunned!....
What?, How ?... But you…. Now walking towards her….. the figure before
her… reached out,… but kitty continued to step back…. Shaking … her knees felt weak…… the room
began to spin… then… darkness…..
