"The Flight of the Raven"
OOC..Ooops DP..you're in the saloon..Loner are you in the office or saloon? I'll change if I need to.
IC..Ms T glared at the sheriff. "The men coming after DP are known killers..I'm not sure you ever proved DP was guilty of anything! Bisbee Pete and his halfwitted brother are on the wanted posters in your ofice..if you've bothered to look at them lately."

"I have seen them/I have watched them all fall/I have been them/I have watched myself crawl"
"I will only complicate you/Trust in me and fall as well"
"Quiet time...no more whine"

Loner stood up so fast at the name of Bisbee Pete, that she knocked over her chair.
"I don't take kindly to folks questioning how I do my job," she said quietly, referring to Ms. T's comment on the wanted posters. "In case you haven't noticed, crime has dropped since I came here."
She took a step forward. "Maybe i should just let them kill each other then. Unless...you know ome reason why I shouldn't? If that's so, I sure would appreciate it if you tell me. Right now."

Ms T ran a hand through her hair. "Sorry about that comment. But as far as I know, DP isn't a wanted man. Pete and Clem are. They also had a 3rd man with them. I left him tied up but they might have freed him. Oh forget I said anything. Pete's wanted dead or alive...and I'm not choosy."
T turned around and started to walk through the door, calling back"I don't know if you heard about the time those two fools rode into Abilene..they left 4 people dead including the sheriff."

Ms T stopped and looked at DP "I just had a run in with Bisbee Pete and Clem and some other man I didn't recognize. They were looking for you. I told 'em I didn't know where you were, but if they knew how to find me..they know how to find you." She looked at the sheriff, "DP may be a rat, but the things you accused him of...that doesn't sound like the man I knew."

Ms T turned and stared hard at DP. "IF? I should have shot you myself.Save your own hide. Oh and DP, if I find out you did those things..I swear I will hunt you down and skin you myself." Ms T told the sheriff. "I'll be at the hotel tonight, then I'm leaving in the morning."

Ms T slaps DP across the face. "I'm leaving. Maybe you better learn to trust someone DP, because you're running out of friends." T walks out the door. She quickly takes her horse over to the hotel.

"HA!" Loner cried as she pursued him into the street. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm the law here" -- she had never said that. Boy did it sound corny. -- "and a couple of oulaws riding into my town, that IS my business. You take the law into your own hands and I will shoot you down without a blink.
"Now," she said, more calmly. "I do need your help. Take your rifle and go up on the roof of the bank."
She pulled a badge out of her pocket. "As of this moment, mister, you are temporarily deputized."

Ms T went to the room she'd bullied out of the frightened hotel clerk. It was perfect, facing the street and right near the stairs. Checking her gun and rifle, she thought about DP and why he'd been acting so strange.

Darkpoet turned and put his face into Loner's. Then with his eyes narrowing, he lost his temper.
"I told you to STAY out of this. I AM NOT getting blamed, for SOMEONE else getting shot. DO YOU HEAR ME SHERIFF? You back in your office and stay OUT OF MY WAY!"
Darkpoet starts walking again to his store.

Ms T silently opens the window a crack. Keeping out of sight she looks at the street below, her rifle ready. T thanked the Winchester company for the new repeating rifles.

Before DP had gone far, Loner pulled her pistol and fired into the air. He stopped. She strode up to him.
"What the hell do you mean, help you?? I'm the one who asked you to help me."
She squinted up at him. "You said this is your business. Is that what it really is, Darkpoet? Is hunting down criminals...your business too?..."
