PT.1
“Matt, I had to ,…well
I just had to help Franny…He …He would have killed her…..and as her friend what
was I to do?”
Cowboy how long will you be gone?, Kitty asking her usual
question while fiddling with the silver handled Hair brush in her hand as she
sat looking thru the mirror...at Matt sitting on the edge of the bed Ahhh, Kit just a day or two,… I need to go
out to Fort Dodge and talk with Colonel Tucker, about a Gold shipment coming
through Dodge ,.. it has to be transported to Fort Dodge for safe keeping, “Oh
Cowboy ,Look I know as Marshal you have to do certain Jobs, but … shaking his head,… Now Kitty .. lets not have
the argument again?... Matt Dillon !
don’t you now Kitty me,.. she said slamming the brush on the vanity Look
Kit, Honey ,.. I’m ok..I can take this trip do what I have to and be back
before you even miss me… Oh yeah, I’ve heard that before! What does Doc say ?..
.she said with her jaw tightened. It
doesn’t matter Kit, I have to go… But Matt!
You are in no condition to ride
for any length of time… your barely healed… Kitty said still looking over her
shoulder and through the mirror… at the Man who
she Loves and worries so much about when he’s gone. Then, before he could say anything,.. Oh all
right!.. just promise me you’ll be careful?.. She said with a concerned look
……now standing and walking towards her …Yes Ma’am I Promise,.. he answered
.slowly sliding behind her on the stool… wrapping his arms around her pulling
her against his large hard frame.
Relaxing and leaning into him,… in a softer voice,… Cowboy? Leaning his face into her neck,… he mumbled
Hummmmm? You know I’d be lost without
you don’t you?... I almost lost you again ,…
uh huh…still nibbling at her neck and chin line. Matt Dillon are you even paying attention to
me or …without warning, he reached around her and covered her soft Lip with
his…..and the thought of resisting ,.. never came to mind. Beautiful lady ,… Come to bed? No words were spoken ,.. gently.. with arms
wrapped around one another,.. they snuggled up in their large brass bed… wrapping themselves in one another,…
Just before Dawn, Matt quietly woke ,and dressed trying not
to wake the sleeping Redhead beside him…
and then leaned down to lightly Kiss her on the forehead brushing the
long Amber-Copper Curls from her face,… then, headed for the door ,..headed for
the office to get his paper work he needed.. for the trip to Fort Dodge… just
as he placed his hand on the door knob,.. a soft voice,.. Cowboy?, the sun’s
not even up yet! I know Kitty,.. I
just wanted to make sure my thing are together.
Go back to sleep,.. I’ll be back before I have to leave,.. we’ll have breakfast….Ok, she mumbled. Curling up tighter to the pillow his head
had laid on , it still had his scent on it… she slowly drifted off to sleep ,..
Matt just smiling, at the sight of this
woman he Loves so much.
Later sitting at Delmonico’s … Matt, I do wish you would
re-consider… Kit, Please don’t worry I’ll be fine. Well, then maybe you should
take Festus’ along? As she picked at the
bacon on his plate. Kit, I need him
here… to take care of things while I’m gone…Newly is doing runs with Doc. Scrunching her face …, Oh I know I
know! Alright… slowly watching her,… is there something
wrong with your breakfast ? he was
trying to hide his smile. Continuing to
pick off his plate,… No! why? He just
rolled his eyes and smiled …. No reason.
He was use to Kitty sharing his food …as if his tasted any different.
Well, Kit I’d better get going ,.. walk you back to the Long
Branch? Yeah, sure…. As they were
leaving Burke voice yelled out …Miss Kitty! Miss Kitty! .... running towards
them… What is it Burke? Kitty looked surprised. Well , well I was just headed over to the
Long branch,.. and I saw ya here,… furrowing her brow,.. Yeah and? Oh ,Oh,… Barney wanted me to get this to
you,… he was holding an envelope.. as Kitty went to take it… he was holding so
tight… Burke!... Yeah ? Can I have it? Oh ,.. Yeah sure Miss Kitty. Handing it to her… Came all the way from New
Orleans…it did. Barney says there was a
delay in it coming through…, And I suppose you are gonna tell me what’s in it? She said with a raised brow. Face turning red,… Why No Miss Kitty…it’s your
letter….Matt and Kitty looked at each other and just rolled their eyes….Well
Thank You … and Thank Barney too. Oh I
will …and he turned away to go back to is business… Matt that man ,… sometimes I …. Sliding his
arm around her waist,.. Yeah Kit, I know!
Kit I’ll see ya in a day or two, …. Cowboy …she said looking
at him with a worried look in her eye… Ple… smiling at her ,… I know Kit I will
I promise! Festus’ was crossing
Front street with Buck all ready for Matt’s trip, Matthew ,.. ya take care of
your own self .. and Don’t be fretting none bout’ Dodge. Thanks
Festus’ well, I’ll see ya Kitty…
Festus’ and he climbed onto Buck and headed down Front Street. Kitty just stood and watched ...till he was
out of sight. Ahh, Miz kitty ,.. Matthew
will be ok. Touching his cheek… and
nodding her head… Thanks Festus’ then she wink and went into the Long Branch.
Sam, is there still coffee?... sure Miss Kitty,.. coming
right up… smiling at Sam,… I’ll be in the office . I’ll bring it in for you, He said… Sam
knew Kitty worried every time Matt left.. so he always did his best to keep a
special eye on her. As she entered her
office,.. she inhaled and began pulling
out her ledger to go to work on the weeks figures,. To pay bills. After sitting there for a moment she
remembered the Letter Burke had handed her… Hummmm ,who in the world could this be from? She didn’t recognized the handwriting. Opening the envelope, she leaned back in the
chair, and began to read…..
Kathleen Russell, Long Branch Saloon , Dodge City , Kansas Then the Note:
