He's back!
It was a peaceful sunny summer day in Virginia City. Ben, Hoss and Amelia were loading supplies from the Mercantile. They heard horses and a cart riding on the road; it was the stage.
The stage was riding on the main road of the City and stops in front of the Trading Post. Amelia stops what she is doing to watch people climbing off the stage.
She saw a familiar man climbing off the stage and her heart dropped in shock. She recognize the man John Carter who three years before murder three of her classmates and raped her.
Carter walks over to the hotel not noticing her watching him. Hoss and Ben walk out of the Mercantile and saw Amelia frozen staring across the street.
Ben walks over t her and puts a hand on her shoulder. Amelia turns to face her father. Ben became concern when he saw how pale his daughter looked. "Sweetheart are you feeling alright?" asked Ben concerned.
Amelia nervously says "I'm fine Pa that sack of grain just took a lot of me". "I told you that you didn't have to help load up the supplies" said Ben. "I wanted to" said Amelia.
Hoss looks at her and he could see that something was on her mind. "Something bothering you Mia?" asked Hoss. "No I'm fine Hoss really" assured Amelia.
They climbed in the buckboard and rode out of town. During the ride home Amelia kept flashing back seeing her attacker in town and starts to ponder why he is back and not in prison.
