In Town: Morning:
We came into town like any other day. It was summer so I was home from college and Brian was out of school for now. Matthew was riding behind us on his horse. Being sheriff, he needed to get around a whole lot easier then driving a wagon into town everyday. Ma and Sully were discussing something and I was talking to Matthew as the wagon came to a stop. We were laughing about something and now that I try to think of what it was, I can't really remember. All I do remember is seeing her. She looked so wounded.
I was going to talk to ma about it but decided to talk to Matthew instead. I walked over to Matthew and pointed to the girl wandering around town. She seemed so out of place and neither Matthew nor I knew who she was. She wasn't from around here, that much we knew. Sully must have noticed our whispering because he came over and asked us what we were talking about. So I pointed to the girl, who had managed to walk past everyone without anyone paying attention to her. She was headed out of town, towards the woods. Probably where she had come from in the first place, but none of could be sure.
He went to see if she would tell him her name, if she needed anything and that's when everything happened in slow motion. Sully touched the girl's arm to turn her towards him and then everyone was panicking. A gun shot was heard and Sully hit the ground. Matthew pushed me into the clinic and ran with ma to Sully's side. The girl had run out of town and towards the woods. People were headed after her but stopped when they realized that she had a horse as she edged her horse into a gallop and out of the woods and off in a direction that she probably hoped people wouldn't follow her. She was going to be wrong in that assumption.
Hank, Jake, Robert E. and Matthew all helped ma get Sully into the clinic and onto the examination table so that she could look at him properly. Since I was already in the clinic, I got everything ready just in case surgery was necessary. I hoped that Sully would be alright and that the girl would be caught. Matthew, Jake, Hank and Robert E. left the way they had come and waited outside with everyone else to see if Sully pulled through.
