*I guess the review thingy isn't working right now so to all my reviewer's, I say thank you! :)*

Matt looked up and down Front Street later that morning and watched the crowds gather at the various business hocking their wares to the people that came to see Dodge's new hospital.

If it wasn't for trying to capture Sally, the atmosphere around Dodge would have been like one big party.

The Marshal's eyes lit up when he seen Kitty coming down the street in a long lavender dress while holding their son's hand.

"Morning," Matt said picking up Matthew.

"Morning cowboy," Kitty said looking around. "Looks like we got a party going on!"

"Good," Matt said taking Kitty's arm and leading her toward the hospital. "That's the way I want it to look!"

Kitty knew exactly when Matt was in all business mode that something was amiss.

"What happened?" she said after Matt shut the door behind them.

"In here," Matt said leading her to the door of the clinic.

Kitty stepped inside to find Robert and Doc on opposite sides of an exam table.

"Festus," she said siding up to the table next to Doc. "What happened?" she asked looking from the older physician to Robert.

"Festus surprised our murder last night," Doc said tugging at his ear.

"It's Sally," Robert said taking his father's pulse. "It's normal," he said meeting Doc's eyes as the older man nodded.

"Sally?" Kitty said shocked. "Is this some kind of joke!"

"No," Matt replied. "Festus identified her before he collapsed from the poison she injected into him."

"Poison?" Kitty said looking down at the unconscious deputy. "Is he alright?"

"He will be," Doc said with a nod.

"And," Matt said meeting her eyes. "We want everyone to know!"

"Why," Kitty asked as Matt grinned.

"If Sally knows she didn't succeed in killing Festus, she'll know he can identify her," Matt said evenly.

"You're going to use him for bait to catch her?" Kitty asked in shock as Matt nodded.

"He won't be in any danger," Matt said looking at Doc and Robert. "As long as everyone plays their parts!"

"I am very humbled that we've gotten to this point, and truthfully, everyone is so excited," Doc said after the crowd of people gathered at the front steps of the hospital. "We've been working a long time to get this and today our hospital will finally open its doors and well, I couldn't be more proud."

Applause and nods of agreement were seen all around as Doctor Ward stepped forward.

"But what's a hospital without a name!" he said excitedly turning to the covered plaque attached to the wall before ripping the paper cover away.

Doc's eyes widened in surprise as he read the name.

"I dedicate this hospital as the G. Adams Medical Center of Dodge City, Kansas," Ward said with a broad smile before turning to shake Doc's hand. Leaning in close, he said, "congratulations Galen, you've earned it!"

Matt watched the crowd from afar but couldn't help getting caught up in the excitement of the dedication to the hospital.

Doing his best to watch everyone moving about, he didn't notice James Jones working his way though the crowd until he grabbed his arm.

"Marshal!" he said clearly distressed as Matt bent down to hear him over the roar of excitement.

"Mr. Jones," Matt said separating himself from the people around him. "What can I do for you?"

"I told you, I'd let you know when I saw that woman again!"

"And did you?" Matt quickly asked.

"Yeah," he said pointing toward the hospital. "She went in though the back!"

Robert looked up from checking Abelia's vital signs when he heard a noise downstairs.

"Sounds like the party's moving inside," he said after hearing several voices.

Kitty nodded as she rocked the baby while her son Matthew slept nearby on a cot.

Robert noted Abelia's vitals on a chart before moving over to where Festus slept.

"You all, alright?" Matt said breathlessly rushing into the ward.

Robert glanced around before meeting Matt's eyes. "What's happened?"

"Sally may be inside the building," Matt said as Newly joined him.

"Find anything," Newly asked looking around.

"Not yet," Matt replied stepping out the door. "I'm going to have another look around!"

"I'm coming with you," Robert said as Matt clinched his jaw before looking at Newly. "Stay here!"

The deputy nodded as he drew his gun from the holster and stepped into the ward.

Robert followed the Marshal into the unused and uncompleted area of the hospital but came up empty handed.

"Maybe he thought he saw her," Matt said putting his gun away as they descended the stairs to find Doc and Doctor Ward waiting in the lobby.

"Anything," Doc asked as Matt shook his head no.

Robert noticed a lamp was lit in the clinic next to them and went in to extinguish it.

Lifting the glass globe, he looked down to blow it out when a familiar shadow caught his eye.

"Sal," he said quietly replacing the globe before turning around to see the woman he loved crouching in the corner behind a cart ladened with medical supplies. "I'm not going to hurt you."

Matt sighed as Doc and Doctor Ward discussed the next phase of the hospital before the Marshal noticed Robert wasn't there.

"Where'd he go?" Matt said spinning around.

"I want to help you, Sal," Robert said speaking soothingly as he slowly approached her. "Please honey, let me help you."

"Robert," Matt said quietly from the door way as he, Doc and Ward watched.

"It's alright," Robert said with a sideways glance as he noticed the Marshal's hand hovering over his gun. "I'm just trying to talk her into coming out."

Matt watched as Robert pushed the table out of the way which only made Sally extremely agitated and withdraw further into the corner.

Robert reached out his hand but in response Sally only turned away from him.

"Sal," Robert said kneeling down. "I know you didn't mean to hurt those men, did you?"

Sally slowly turned her head toward him and shook her head no.

"I didn't think so," Robert said thoughtfully. "You want to tell me what happened?"

She shook her head no again before she looked up.

The Marshal watched her eyes narrow as she locked eyes with him and before anyone knew what happened, she stood up in a burst of anger and went at Robert with a scalpel she had hidden behind her back.

As Robert fell onto his back, Matt pushed the two physicians out of the way and leveled his gun.

"Sally!" Robert yelled painfully as the scalpel sliced his arm and a single gunshot reverberated throughout the room.

Sally's eyes went wild as she collapsed in a heap on top of the young physician.

Rolling Sally onto her back, Robert got to his knees as he put a hand under her head.

"Sal," Robert said softly. "I just wanted to help you."

"Sorry," Sally mumbled before her eyes rolled into the back of her head.

Once Robert felt her body go limp in his hands, he gently laid her onto the floor before struggling to his feet.

"Here, sit," Doc said steadying Robert before leading him to a chair.

"She's dead," Robert said putting his head into his hand as tears came to his eyes.

"I know," Doc said pulling his sleeve apart where the scalpel went in.

While Doctor Ward covered Sally's body with a blanket, Matt looked at Doc.

"I'll have Percy come get the body," he said evenly as Doc nodded before gathering what he needed to stitch up Robert's arm.

"I only wanted to help her," Robert said as Doc meet his eyes.

"You couldn't, no one could!"
