Masks
We Wear?
As Kitty left the Dining room ,..She thought she saw someone
she recognized a face she knew…
slowly following around the corner hall, ….”Jean’…Jean’ Jareau?...is that you? As the Tall dark haired man turned,..
smiling ,… Why… do my eyes deceive
me? Or is it Kitty Russell? Reaching out to take her hands in his own…
taking them to kiss them ….Ahhh My dear Sweet Kitty! Jean’
you Flatter me… she said with a curious smile. This was a Man she didn’t trust , even a
little bit….He had a reputation ..as one of New Orleans biggest Con men…. One
that Put Wayne Russell’s to Shame. She
had Met him when she dealt cards for Panacea, ... many years ago… Kitty considered him lower than a Snake! “So Jean’ ,.. what on earth brings you to St.
Louis,… or shall I say .. Who is the Prey? Now
smiling a sinister smile… Ahh now Kitty
Dear Girl.. Please Don’t be soooo…..let
me say… waving her hand and shaking her head,…”Jean’,… I’m no kid anymore ,.. and I’ve been around much to long,…
to fall for one of your lines….I call a spade a Spade! Just as they were talking from around
the corner ,… Maryellen without noticing Kitty being there,… already talking ,…
Oh, Jean’ I forgot to tell you ….then
..she looked up…stopping in her tracks…. Kitty
Squared her shoulders,… tilted her head,… straightened her lips into a line…
raised her brows… “Well!... Good Morning
Maryellen.. is it?” Maryellen
now ...with a complete look of surprise,… Oh,.
Oh,… Miss Russell?.... I didn’t see you there? With a slight snicker,… Of
course you didn’t…! Kitty’s mind started working
overtime….. then ,… Jean’
Jareau,.. suggested… Kitty we should have dinner this afternoon
catch up?,… it been much to long… I’m
sorry Jean’ I’m very busy and beside I have plans…. Very surprised ,… Maryellen said …will you be headed back to Dodge now that…
Kitty furrowed her brow,… Now that
what? Oh, … I just thought that after
Last night that you’d… well… that you’d want to go back home… that all! Kitty broke into a slight smile, Sweetheart?... did you really think for one
minute that that little performance you put on last night was going to … come
between Matt and I?... Now Kitty was Laughing a full Fledge laugh… Please!
Honey I’ve lived Much to long and dealt with way to many little … catching
her words , knowing she was in a public place….It would take Much more then you to come between Matt and I… Laughing again!
This now angered Maryellen! Stomping
her foot.
Well I never!.... Still smiling at her,… No! and you never will Either! Jean’
was watching,… wonder what exactly was between the two woman? Maryellen stormed off! Jean’ Jareau followed after her…… wanting
to find out…. This could be important…
As he caught up to her,… wait
up… good heavens… what was that display of un-ladylikeness? Clinching her Jaw…. Oh That woman!... who does she think she is talking to me like that ? Maryellen just what is this Marshal to you
anyway? We grew up together… No Dear,..
it more then that… Oh , alright … yes, I was in Love with him… and I thought he
cared about me too.! And?... Jean’
asked.
And,.. her that’s what! As long as she around ,.. he’ll never… wait a
Minute You said you knew her ?
how? Oh, I knew Kitty from my
days in New Orleans… you mean she is from New Orleans,… yes Dear!.. she is one
Hell of a Dealer… I never seen to many like her…You remember Wayne
Russell? Sure do ! … he could work any
deal around… Kitty is his Daughter.

just come to be to our advantage ! Jean’ added .Jean’ Jareau… Now jumping up to kiss his
