A Grizzly of a Man

I had no notion I'd be tangling with a grizzly inside the Wild Horse Saloon when I slipped inside of it. I had only one thing on my mind, finding Jimmy, and making him see the error of his ways. The station was in an uproar over the rift between Teaspoon and Hickok, and Jimmy's going to work at the Wild Horse.

Lou had already made an attempt to get through to Jimmy, and had failed. The sadness in her eyes when she had told the rest of us riders what she had done, and what Jimmy had said, was hurtful to see. Jimmy saying awful things to Teaspoon was bad enough, hurting Lou's feelings was uncalled for.

I found Jimmy easy enough on the second floor of the establishment. I was all set to lay into him for hurting Lou, when he quickly filled me in on the real reason he was there. We were all set up to go after Grace's henchmen, when the door opened, revealing a grizzly of a man standing in the hallway.

I gulped, feeling my heart ratchet up a notch, as the giant lumbered forward, engaging Jimmy and I in a battle. Hickok and I put up one hell of a fight, and in the end won, but both of us were pretty battered up by the time we had put that ole grizzly down.
