"I liked the old sheriff's way of doin' thing better," grumbled Gigi. "I'm tryin', DP! I only had one whisky today...and that was after I found out how much I owed Vern for the repairs!"
Blue and Tsai walked into the doctor's office to see Loner. "We heard you'd been shot," said Tsai; "but the story's progressed to the point you weer shot eight times. Once in the head." He grinned.
Loner sighed. "I may as well have been," she said. "I'm going to be out of work for a while."
Blue and Tsai looked at each other. "Who will be sheriff?" asked Blue.
Loner looked at them cautiously, then told them all about DP. They had a hard time believing her. "But if you say so Loner, we'll have to trust you," said Tsai...
Kramor walks in.
"I hope so, she will be staying at the ranch, until she heals. Blue, she will be cleaning the stalls for a while, that should keep her out of trouble."
Kramor, with Blue and Tsai, took Loner home. Kramor took Loner's guns and put then away. He wanted her to relax, and not try to move her shoulder around. He went out to check the horses, later he found her, trying to work in the barn one handed. Loner also had her guns on. Kramor just looked and threw up his hands and walked away, he went in and sat at his desk.
Aaron, now Raven. Was now leaving his white man ways. He wanted to get back to his people. He hated Kramor for taking Loner away from him. Raven also wanted Kramor's horses. After watching the gun battle, he put together a plan. With Loner being hurt, he could take her soon. She would make a good squaw. Raven rode away thinking, how he would go about this.
MS T had been remarkably silent through this. "So sheriff...do I get my guns back?"

"Yes, but first." Reaching into his pocket, Darpoet pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Ms. T.
"I think you dropped this, the last time you where in town."
Loner seriously regretted working. She was tired, and despite the fact she'd favored her injured shoulder, it was killing her. She took off her gun belt -- painfully -- and went to wash up. The wound didn't look good. "Damn," she whispered aloud, and changed the bandage. She reluctantly resolved to do nothing but relax from here on out.
As she went down the hall, she saw something odd. Black feathers, scattered over the floor. "What the..." She found an open window, and figured the feathers must have blown in from there...
Ms T looked at the paper DP had given her. "What are you up to?" T looked at him, then put the paper in her pocket. "Maybe we should keep this in the safe."

Handing T, her guns.
"I gave that to you for a reason, just like the money. If something happened to me, I know you would put it to good use. I know you heard what I told the sheriff. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
