Several days later John stops by Marshal Johnson's office to speak to him. Before their conversation goes anywhere, Deputy Eli enters the office. In a panicked voice.

Both Eli and Jonah aren't the brightest. But Jonah makes Eli look a genius. Plus Eli is a million times nice of a person.

Eli: Marshal! I just been up at the canyon, spying like you said. I think I seen me a couple of them rustlers. I think it was the Bollard Twins and a couple of Mexicans.

Leigh: They up there right now?

Eli (sarcatically): Well, it was a group of four men rounding up Mr. Gulch's livestock and none of them looked like Mr. Gulch's hands, so yes, sir. Right now.

Leigh: That sarcasm's most unbecoming, Eli. It's going to hold you back in life, even worse than your lazy eye.

Eli: ...

Leigh: Alright, let's go. (grabs Carbine repeater rifle). You ride with us again, Marston?

Marston: Will you help me?

Leigh: I will try.

Marston: Then it would be my pleasure.

Michael who's still there. Gives Eli, Jonah and Packie all Whineshster rifles. Michael himsrelf grabs a Springfield riflle. John takes a Carbine repeater. Probably the weakest rifle of the game. But John is good with it.

ON THE HORSE RIDE:

DIALOGUE A:

Leigh: How long you been workin' for the government, Marston?

Marston: I don't work for the government.

Leigh: Well, I got a telegram from some federal clowns in Blackwater that says otherwise.

Packie: Are you some kind of vigilante?

Jonah: You don't look like no government boy.

Marston: I guess it's complicated. I came because it was made impossible for me not to.

Jonah: You sure are a tight-lipped son-of-a-bitch, mister.

Marston: I guess I am. I ain't gonna dig this hole no deeper.

Jonah: Ain't you all proud and superior? Don't forget you need us more than we need you. Bill Williamson folded you up like an empty purse last time, if I remember correctly.

Leigh: Simmer down, Jonah.

Marston: Listen to your boss, Jonah, there's a good boy. Otherwise, I'll put a hole in your hillbilly head and watch your tiny brain run out.

Michael: I'll be honest with you, Marston. I ain't for all this government interference.

Marston: Believe me, Townley, neither am I.

Michael: Wolves in sheeps clothes, all of them.. Rob ya.. Than pay to have some investigate the crime on your behalf.

Marston: No better than Micah..

Michael: He killed Arthur you know.

Marston: I know... I know..

DIALOGUE B:

Johnson: . I just hope you're not taking advantage of the those girls, Marston.

Marston: She's a old friend.. We have history.

Johnson: I trust you.. You and Michael were in the same gang.

Marston: Yes..

Johnson: However.. It's just, all this business with Blackwater, and Williamson. I don't know... Sometimes it's hard not to have doubts.

Marston: I understand. I never planned on being in the lawman business neither.

Johnson: Orginally I was trying to imprison Michael. I had him too.. But he could tell I was one of the 'good' cops. So he talked me into making a deal. He helps me, I turn a blind eye to his gang.. They weren't worst ones anyway.. And now. he's still working here. But for different reasons. We grew to respect each other... Long story short. I met Carly many times.. She's tough.. But she's still a woman in a man's world.. Both of them.

Marston: I know..
