Chapter 6: Ranger Jones & Sheriff Kenny race to find Dusty & Dusty's first encounter with Vanessa Jones-Kirkland

Taylor & Kenny made it to Boston, "I told you not to follow me, Taylor." Kenny remarked.

"I didn't follow you, Kenny. You followed me." Taylor stated.

"Kenny? Taylor?" Mason asked after seeing them.

"Mase?" Kenny & Taylor asked in unison.

"Yes, it's me." Mason answered, "I suppose you're on another man hunt."

"Yes." Kenny replied.

"Sort of." Taylor said.

"Sort of?" Mason asked.

"I'm lookin' for a boy..."

"A boy, huh?" Mason teased.

"It's not like that! Idiot!" Taylor snapped.

"I was just teasing you, Taylor. Continue." Mason said.

"A boy who was injured I was taking care of him until Kenny scared him off!" Taylor snapped at Kenny.

"I didn't scare him off! He's a criminal, Taylor! The sooner ya figure out not everybody has good in them the better off you'll be. You can't trust that kid!" Kenny said.

"What did this boy look like?" Mason asked.

"He had long blonde hair, blue eyes & a bullet wound on his right hip." Taylor said.

"I've seen him! He was here a day or two ago. Though, he ran away & took some of Natalie's money from one of her chests on the carriage, we are unfortunately are to presume." Mason said.

"Dusty, stole money from y'all?" Taylor asked.

"I'm afraid so, Taylor." Mason replied. Taylor rode off towards the north.

"Thanks for the tip, Mase." Kenny said before heading west.

"No problem, old chap." Mason sighed, "I do hope those two stay out of trouble." he muttered as he walked back into his office.

Taylor had ridden all the way to Delaware where her oldest brother, Dennis lived.

"Dennis! Open up!" Taylor exclaimed as she pounded on his door.

A young man with short blonde hair & blue eyes answered the door, "Yeah? Oh, hey Taylor." Dennis greeted.

"Dennis I'm looking for a boy wh..."

"Shouldn't you be talking to our sisters about that? I really don't care about your new boyfriend." Dennis said.

"ALL BOYS ARE STUPID AND IMMATURE!" Taylor snapped at him as she climbed up on her horse again.

"Wait who's the boy you were looking for?" Dennis asked in an amused tone.

"His name's Dusty. He has blonde hair. Blue eyes & has a bullet wound on his right hip." Taylor said.

"Haven't seen him. But I'll look out for him, for you." Dennis replied.

"Thanks." Taylor said in an almost irritated tone as she continued riding north.

Dusty had ridden all the way through to the border of Virginia then stopped for the night. "Man, can I not wait for that to heal." Dusty said to himself as he laid down.

'I wonder what he's doing out here.' A person was wondering around as they hid in the bushes. Dusty heard something then pulled out his pistol & stood up looking around. The person who was in the bushes kept moving so they wouldn't get caught by Dusty. The person moved again, but this time Dusty heard what direction they was in then put his gun away & tackled her. Once he realized that the person was a girl he blushed then quickly got off of her & helped her up, "I apologize. Are you, okay?" Dusty asked.

"I'm fine. But the real question is who are you?" The girl asked. This girl had long brown hair & brown eyes, she seemed to be older then him at least by a little Dusty didn't really think like it was that much of an age difference.

"Dusty." He answered.

"Hi Dusty, I'm Vanessa." She replied.

"Howdy." Dusty greeted.

"Where are you from, Dusty?" Vanessa asked.

"Indian Territory." Dusty answered.

"What brings you all the way out here?" Vanessa asked.

"Just exploring the great U. S. of .A." Dusty answered.

"Sounds like you're having an exciting time aren't you?" Vanessa asked.

"Oh, you have no idea." Dusty remarked.
