PT.5
Matt rose early,…and headed out for the trek back to Dodge…
Colonial Tucker did as he said ,making sure Matt was well stocked for the
Journey… now the snow was falling
heavier and at a quick pace.
Doc decided to check on Franny ,.. since he was going to
have breakfast with his favorite redhead…
Kitty needed the distraction, from worrying about Matt, and Franny. Entering the Long Branch well Morning Sam…, Kitty down yet
? smiling at Doc,.. Morning Doc! Hasn’t been down yet ,but I know she was up late .. Well, I think I’ll just go check
on Franny while I wait for Kitty.. and headed for the stairs.
Crossing the Landing, about to Knock on Franny’s door,..
from the corner of his eye.. Doc saw something
was odd… “Franny”? what in
thunder? ..racing over to her prone body
lying in the hall just outside Kitty’s door.
Kitty!, Sam! …hurry,… Sam quickly
took the stairs two at a time…Doc! What is it ? Just as Kitty ‘s door opened….slowly… expecting to see Kitty
,but then …nothing, no one…. Sam tapped on the door… Miss Kitty? There was no answer.. pushing the door open
more ,.. Sam was shocked at what he found… Kitty’s room was in complete
disarray !... Doc!...Doc! as Doc
raised his eyes,.. he could see just a bit of what Sam excitement was about…
Sam, can you carry her …? Sure Doc, Sam said picking Franny up with ease. Doc stood overwhelmed at the disaster..
before him. Oh My …inhaling a deep
breath..
Sam placed Franny gently on her bed,… Doc, what do you think
happened? Groggy and weak….Franny with
eyes half masked…. “Help Her” ,.. Please,. Tried to Help.. then she pass
out. Doc, Who could…. Swiping his Mustache,… Not
sure Sam, But I think I have an Idea.
Sam, have you noticed anyone hanging around …someone out of the ordinary
? No Doc ,..ahhhh No wait… there was
this Fella’ …Miss Kitty threw him out…. But he didn’t look like a violent Fella’… he was pretty upset that she threw
him out in front of ..well everyone.
Sam, Can you go get Festus’?...
This isn’t good!.. right away Doc..
Rushing through the door of Matt’s office, Festus’ Festus’ …
Festus’ was out back of the office … Hold on the Sam, what’s got you all railed
up? Festus’ It Miss Kitty! Why’ditin ya say so right out? I just did. Doc found Miss Franny on the hall
floor and when we checked Miss Kitty’s room , well It’s a Mess! And she’s not
there …. And all Miss Franny could say was Help her ,Tried to Help her. Doc, over taking care of Miss Franny,.. but
sent me for you….Festus’ Miss kitty could be in real trouble….
Eye lids feeling heavy,… trying to move … it was difficult
to focus on the room around her….
Beginning to moan,.. she suddenly heard a deep husky voice ,… well now
,… your awake? Still not able to focus …ohhhh, where
am i? how’d I get,….Not so fast Little lady…. She could feel her body being
lifted…. Here ya go sit up,.. made some coffee… Coffee? Kitty repeated. Your gonna be here awhile so……staring at the
face.. with dark eyes, shoulder length hair and in need of a shave….Wait! here a while?, where is here ? and who are
you? In due Time Little lady!, In due
Time!
Doc, sat on the edge of the bed placing Cool rags on
Franny’s face and Neck areas… she was now fevered. Pulse racing,.. and was still un-conscience …
Doc sat looking at her, she was very pale….Thinking to himself,… What in
thunder happened here? OH, Kitty Honey … from the look of that
room…. then he just place both
hands , folded against his forehead….
Festus and Sam check all around,… and noticed the back
stairs door was ajar … The door had been pried…Sam was picking up some of the
things,.. when he noticed a piece of paper,.. sitting on the Bed… it was
addressed to no one special.. it just read….
Have the Redhead, and
Her life will depend on your cooperation,…
A Trade!... Francine for The Redhead!....
Sam read it again, to Festus’…. Then Sam … just in a low
voice, OH Miss Kitty….
