Suddenly a bullet hole went into Nick's side. A man with a long rifle fired
from afar.
Nick dodged for cover but the man threw a grenade which sent Nick flying.
Chapel's men heard the shooting and ran over to the spot. Suddenly the rifleman and the goons began shooting at each other; the gunman didn't last long before he fell. Nick forced himself up and limped away as he held the wound on his side.
Cain looked at the now dead blonde man.
"I know this guy, he's a bounty hunter, but what or who was he shooting at?"
"Who cares? He couldn't have done the damage in the bar." One of the henchmen said.
Nick saw Kaite not too far away talking to two men with guns; they were trading books, mostly bibles. When the men were gone Nick came over while holding his wound.
"Oh it's you. I got my bible back, maybe now you can read it to me. They told me not to open it." Kaite said.
Nick narrowed his eyes and tore the book open, revealing a big bag of marijuana. He grabbed Kaite.
"Is this what you call reading the bible?? Who were those men?"
"I don't know, they just tell me to switch books in the store every few days. They hide things all over the town. They pay me and my dad good money so that we can rebuild the sand steamer. Ask Milly, she's doing it too." Kaite explained.
Nick waited until Milly came back to her insurance building.
He grabbed her and ran inside while slamming the door.
"Mr. Priest, what's the matter?" Milly asked.
"You told him I was at the church didn't you?" Nick demanded.
"Who?"
"Chapel, you are working for him and you told him about me. Admit it!!!"
"I wouldn't do that, I am not that kind of person. I don't work for him or anybody." She shouted back.
"Yea right, look at me."
"I don't want you to get hurt, and I didn't tell him a thing. You should see that killing him is not the answer."
"I think you are no better than him." Nick muttered.
"I told you this is MY insurance business, not his. I work here alone, and all I do is hold things for him." Milly said.
"How much does he pay you?" Nick asked.
"$$500,000 a year." She said, sighing.
Nick laid on the counter while Milly went to patch him up again.
Suddenly she heard a car pull up. Milly pushed Nick behind the counter and pushed everything off just as Chapel and his men walked in.
"Hello Milly, nice to see you. Having some trouble?' Chapel asked.
"Yes, just clumsy me." She said with her hand behind her head.
Nick pulled out one of his pistols from out of his jacket as he waited behind the counter.
"I am looking for someone, he is responsible for the bar shooting. Have you seen anyone suspicious looking?" he asked Milly.
"Why no, I've been inside all day working on some files and what not." Milly said nervously.
"You wouldn't lie to me would you?" Chapel asked, looking Milly in the eyes.
She shook her head quickly.
"Well if you do let me know." Chapel said, and with that he left with his men. He took one last look around; positive she wasn't telling the truth.
When they left Nick stood up.
"Was that him?"
"Yes, and you aren't doing anything now or you'll get us both killed."
Later Milly put bandages on Nick's bullet wound upstairs in her bedroom.
"I'm guessing you have a wife at home Mr. Priest." She said.
"No, I never did meet the right woman in my line of work."
"I haven't met many guys in my job either. Chapel likes me but he's not my type."
"Honey he is no woman's type. How any woman could love a man like that is beyond me."
Milly looked up at Nick as he looked at her.
"The good book does say we should not give into pleasure, but then again the good book says a lot of things." Nick said before kissing Milly, who began to kiss back passionately.
Chapel, after spending some time in bed with Dominique, called Cain.
"Cain, I think he is in the insurance building. If she is hiding him in there then kill them both, make it look like an accident, burn the place down you idiot." He said. The men headed out to Milly's place.
Nick dodged for cover but the man threw a grenade which sent Nick flying.
Chapel's men heard the shooting and ran over to the spot. Suddenly the rifleman and the goons began shooting at each other; the gunman didn't last long before he fell. Nick forced himself up and limped away as he held the wound on his side.
