A Sleepy Western Town
Part 4
Duo sat down on a rickety chair in his newest "client" 's kitchen. The old man looked very tired as he brought the young man a cup of coffee. He sat at the table, drawing his fingers through his grey hair.
"What can I help you with General Noventa?" Duo asked, sipping the coffee.
"Just Mr. Noventa now Duo. I haven't been a military man in twenty years."
He sighed heavily. "A few days ago, Dermail came here with a few dozen men. He said he wanted me to pay a rent increase, effective immediately. He demanded that I hand over the money now, or he would take it. I protested, I asked why. He just laughed and had me held down as his other goons ripped through my house. He didn't even take any money, there was only thing he wanted- my late wife Rebecca's necklace."
Duo patted his shoulder in sympathy.
General Noventa took a breath and continued. "It's a pale blue sapphire set in pale gold, the only real thing of value I had. His grand-daughter mentioned that she wanted one, but I said it was one of a kind. I would hardly be surprised if it was the real reason behind my 'rent increase'," the man said bitterly.

"Anytime sir, it's my duty." Duo stood and tipped his hat to the older man.
"And thanks for the coffee." Duo walked out of the cabin and mounted Shados. He rode off towards the town of Sanq.
I should make it in about a day or so, Duo thought, letting his mind drift to the past...
"Solo! Hey, Solo!" an eight year old Duo called as he came home from swimming in the creek. Huge violet eyes peered around the corner into Solo's room, wary in case a pillow flew in his direction. Nothing.
"Solo..." he called, a little afraid. He walked into his older brother's bedroom and gasped, holding one hand to his heart. He was-
Shados whickered in concern. Duo blinked and patted his steed. "I'm fine boy, just fine." He stared out into the endless wasteland, and proceeded on to Sanq.
