Town

Ben and Joe arrived in town and rode up to the Courthouse. They mounted off their horses and walked inside. They walk straight into the Judge's office.

"Ben! Joe how nice to see you" said the Judge pleasantly. "Why was my daughter Amelia here yesterday?" asked Ben sternly.

"She wanted to know why John Carter got a lighter sentence" said the Judge. Joe looks at Ben then back at the Judge. "Why did you give him a lighter sentence after he killed those girls and harmed my sister?" demanded Joe putting hand on his hips. "Before the trial started Carter threaten me. He told me that if I didn't give him a lighter sentence then he was gonna kill my family" explained the Judge ashamedly.

"We understand" said Ben. He and Joe walk out of the office and regrouped outside. "Now we know why Carter got a lighter sentence" said Joe. "And why Amelia was upset" added Ben.

"What do we do now?" asked Joe. "Nothing much we can do. I have some errands to run" said Ben. "I go in the Saloon. I'll see ya later" said Joe as he started walking down the street toward the Saloon.

He walks up to the Saloon when Carter cuts in front of him. "When I was in prison I thought about Amelia. I thought about how soft her skin is, her smile, everything about her especially that night we spent together" taunted Carter with a devilish smile on his face.

He looks at Joe. "I dreamt about that night how wonderful it was. You know your sister has a wonderful talent of making a man satisfy should come in handy for a possible career" provoked Carter. "It was the greatest night of my life".

After he said that it triggers Joe's temper and he nudges him up against the wall.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" caution Joe turbulent. Carter smiles evilly while Joe tightened his grip of his collar.

"She and I had a very nice time last night in my hotel room. It was a very romantic evening. Tell her that her performance was extraordinary" alienated Carter.

Joe was at his boiling point and clouted him in the face hard. Carter sinks down onto the wooden dusty sidewalk. Joe squats down glares at him. Joe grinds his teeth and says enraged "if you ever go near her or hurt her again I'll hunt you down and nothing is gonna stop me from killing you with my bare hands".

Joe straightens up and walks away.
