Ms T groaned. "Well this complicates everything. How long ago was this Gigi?"
DP thought for a minute. "Someone's gotta go after KramoR and Aaron. I'll do that, T you stay here and get her sobered up."
T nodded. "This wouldn't have anything to do with getting as far away from Bessie as you can would it? Watch yourself DP." She turned to Gigi, "Here drink some more coffee, you and I have some things to talk about."

"An hour, maybe..." Gigi grinned, "I'm a fast drinker...

Be careful, sheriff." She sipped the coffee T'lainya offered her.

T looked at the bruise on Gigi's face for a minute and went to the icehouse out back,chipped off a small piece and wrapped it in a cloth. "Here put this on your face, it'll help the swelling. I hope you can help us. "

"Thanks." Gigi put the ice on her face, wincing at the cold. "I'll be glad to do whatever I can to catch the b@stard, deputy. What do you need?"

"DP and I think Aaron is stealing guns. Army shipments are being stolen. We also think that the new owner of the saloon, Miss Bessie is involved. Some of those whiskey crates in her storeroom weren't holding whiskey. Someone also knows DP was working for the army so he can't cuddle up to her. Aaron knows about your past with KramoR, and that you've been unhappy. It would seem like a normal thing for you to want to "get back" at him or Loner. I don't want you to try to join or ask questions about it. Just keep your ears and eyes open when you're rehearsing. Maybe drop a few comments about how low men are or something like that. And if you can find out when the next shipment of whiskey is due to arrive, that would help."

"I'll do what I can, T'." She remembered what she had told Aaron. "I sure hope Kramor hasn't caught up with Aaron... I told him he was dead..."

T looked at Gigi. "Hmm, I hope so too. You be careful. You know how dangerous Aaron is. Bessies other friends will be just as bad. Keep an eye out for any military types too."

Gigi laughed. "Sure, I know," she replied, lifting the ice pack off for a moment. "He's probably riding back here to put a few bullets in me as we speak."

"I'll deal with him if he shows up."Ms T said, her voice like steel. "If you need to get in touch with me, I'll be around. I'm still waiting for another telegraph."

"If he's gonna kill me, I doubt I'll get the chance to tell you about it first... but I'll bear that in mind." Gigi got up to leave, still a little wobbly.

"He doesn't have the element of surprise this time though." Ms T watched Gigi leave and sat back to make some plans.

As Dp rode out of town, Bessie watched him leave. She signaled to her men, they left out the back door and rode out to cut off Dp. Darkpoet, had a feeling he was being watched. He kept his eyes open on the back trail, looking for tell tail signs of dust. He stopped to listen, kicking the flanks of the horse to move forward. Three shots broke the silence in the air, Dp was hit the shoulder and twice in the side. As Dp hit the ground in a puff of dust, the horse ran back into town, stopping in front of the sheriff's office.

Ms T heard a horse ride up and looked out the window. She saw DP’s horse and no DP. “Damn!” She ran outside and saw spots of blood on the reins. Grabbing her horse and hoping Aaron didn’t show up, she rode out of town on DP’s trail. Figuring he’d been bushwhacked she kept an eye out for a likely spot. She rode off the trail a bit and saw DP laying on the ground a way up the trail. Now where are the lowdown varmints that shot him, she thought to herself? A shot rang out by her ear and she dived for cover. Firing back wildly she heard a groan. Reloading quickly, she tossed a rock a few feet ahead of her. Immediately a few more shots were fired. T cautiously wiggled a few feet to the side, until she saw a flash of sun glinting off metal. She quickly fired off a few rounds and the man fell. She heard the next shot and felt a searing pain as the shot grazed her arm. She fired back hitting the outlaw. She stood up cautiously, and then ran to where DP was. She checked his breathing and bandaged the wounds as best she could. She wasn’t sure if she should try to get him back into town or not, she wasn't sure he'd make it.

As T, went to move Darkpoet, he grunted.
"Just help to the horse, lay me over the saddle and ride behind me. Did you get them?"

Ms T helped DP to the horse. "I got 'em, one of them nearly got me. At least it's not a long way back to town." As she helped get him on the horse, she saw fresh blood from the wounds. "C'mon DP don't you die on me!"

"I'm not going to die on you, T. Now pay attention, where you are guiding the horse."
T, directs the horse, around the back of the town. She then stops at the sheriff's office and helps Darkpoet upstairs to the room. As he laid on the bed, she ran to get the doctor. When they got back, the doc, made T, stay out of the room. She went down and paced back and forth in the office. The doctor came down the stairs, looking at T, he shook his head. He handed her the sheriff's badge and said, "you're the new sheriff now. I'll let the undertaker know."
Ms. T, sat on the edge of the desk, looking at the badge in her hand.

From the saloon, Gigi sees the doctor leaving the jail, and worriedly decides to go and see what's going on...

Kramor awoke, he saw Loner, sleeping on the floor with her head on the bed. He gently shook her.
"Hey Loner, there is enough room for two. You didn't have to sleep like that. Put the chair under the door knob, and lay down."

Ms T sat staring at the badge in her hand."No!" She threw the badge and put her head between her hands and cried. Hearing a knock at the door, she quickly dried her eyes and tried to compose herself. "Come in." She looked up to see Gigi there.

"I saw the doctor," Gigi began. "Is everything alright?"
