No Longer A Secret
An Hope Holmes Adventure Chapter XIV
Faith Robin
"So how are you Miss Holmes?" The Colonel asked smirking at me as he cocked his gun. I didn't respond I simply sat there on my horse staring at him with anger in my eyes. "What? Not even a simple greeting for the man you put in jail? Your father certainly wouldn't be pleased to hear of his daughter's impudence." He mocked.
"My words are reserved for those that are gentlemen and not simple criminals." I retorted softly.
"Ah but you forget who had the wit to out wit your father," The colonel clucked his tongue.
"If you are speaking of your brother, may I remind you who walked away from Reichenbach?" I asked coldly and still yet softly.
"You might want to watch your words young lady, it might change my decision on your family's fate," The colonel said smiling at his words.
"What are you talking about?" I asked coldly not lifting my gaze.
"I have a proposition for you Miss Holmes." The Colonel said sitting down on the ground. "Won't you sit down and hear what I have to say?" I heard another gun cock behind me.
"Certainly but it seems as if I really don't have a choice." I said dismounting.
"Oh but you do have a choice Miss Holmes," The Colonel said laying his gun aside.
"What do you want?" I asked facing him and studying his habits.
"A wife for my son," The colonel said studying me. Anger flickered thru my eyes. Calmly I responded.
