Zerelda Mimms-James laughed at the antics of the three men at the table. Now no longer upset over the fact that Jesse hadn't told her they were going to be there so soon. Although Jesse didn't need to know that. She shook her head and placed another helping of pancakes on the table. "You'd think you boys have never eaten before" she said with a laugh. "It ain't that Zee" Tom said as he placed a forkful of eggs in his mouth. Loni nodded in agreement and Clell added "it's that we haven't eaten such delicious food." Zee shook her head again and walked out the dining room towards the voices she heard coming from the hall. "Jesse James" she said, ready to give him a piece of her mind. Zee stopped short as she watched Frank enter still carrying the girl. "What happened?" she asked pulling Frank towards the stairs. Quickly following, they made there way to an empty bedroom. Frank gently eased her onto the bed as Cole began to explain to Zee what happened. Jesse fetched a water basin and a towel. Then he handed it to Zee. Sitting next to the sleeping girl on the bed, Zee began to gently wash away the dirt from her face. Shooing the men out of the room and into the dining room for some food, she undressed the girl and put her into one of her own nightgowns. Then she returned back downstairs. "What's the verdict Doc?" Clell asked, everyone knew that Zee's father was a doctor and she had learned a lot from him. Zee shrugged "as far as I know she bumped her head, there's no broken bones or cuts." "I guess we'll just have to wait until she wakes up" Cole said stating everyone's thoughts aloud.

Jocelyn moaned and tried to blink away the sunlight streaming into the room. Moving into a sitting

position she looked around in alarm. 'Where the hell am I?' she thought. She looked up at the door as she

saw someone enter the room and then stop abruptly. "You're awake" Cole said and Jocelyn moved to get

out of the bed. Seeing this, Cole walked towards her "stay in that bed." He stated firmly and Jocelyn arched

a brow in challenge but didn't move. "And who might you be?" she asked even as she began inching over

to the other side of the bed. Watching her carefully, Cole answered "Cole Younger, we found you late last

night." Jocelyn winced as she remembered the previous night, her head was a bit achy but otherwise she

felt fine. "Well thanks for not leaving me out in the rain" she slipped from the bed and stood. Bringing a

hand to her head she scowled at the slight nausea she felt. Quickly walking around the bed to her side, Cole

pushed her into a sitting position and motioned for her to get back into the bed. "Your not well, you need to

rest." Jocelyn rose to her feet, only to be pushed back down again. Crystal blue eyes glared defiantly "what

I need to do is find my clothes and get out of here." Cole shook his head and pointed at the bed "you can

either get into bed now or get into bed with a sore bottom." Jocelyn's mouth opened in outrage, 'how dare

he tell me what to do!' About to give him some choice words she was distracted by the sound of someone

clearing there throat behind her. She turned and saw a dark-haired man, Jesse gave a small wave. "Hi there,

I'm Jesse James and your name is?" Jocelyn turned her full attention to Jesse, purposely ignoring Cole "I'm

Jocelyn Bradford, but most call me Joey." She smiled at him charmingly "I'd like to leave."
