Chapter 1: The Calm Before The Storm
It was a typical Saturday night in Dodge City. The Long Branch was packed full of trail-hands eager to spend a months pay and rum drunk cowboys blowing off some steam. Matt walked in and saw Doc & Festus sitting at a corner table.
"Matthew you showed up just in time I got me a new card trick go on slip you one out of there" Festus said.
"Might As Well, He Won't leave you alone" Doc stated.
"Matthew, No golly bill you gotta look at it first" Festus implied.
"I did it's the ace of spades" Matt Said.
"How you expect me to do my card trick when you tell me what the card is" Festus said.
Festus Angrily threw the deck of cards down on the table. Doc poured Matt a glass of whiskey.
"There's an awful lot of strangers in town tonight did ya notice that" Matt stated.
"Sure is I was gonna ask you about it" Doc replied.
"Just looks like a bunch of cowpunchers to me" Festus Said.
"But where'd they come from there are no heard's in" Matt Replied.
Just then gunshots were heard outside Matt jumped up and went outside to find Buck Spencer drunk and shooting bullets at the moon. He took his gun and put him on his wagon to go home. Buck muttered something unintelligible and then passed out.
"Alright, Take 'em home Matilda" Matt Gave the horse a slap on the butt.
"It wouldn't be Saturday night unless Buck Spencer got a little drunk" Kitty said.
" Something Wrong" Kitty Asked Matt with a look of confusion on her face.
"Oh, I don't know Kitty, if there is it's nothing I can put my finger on, I'll see ya later" Matt said.
