If my brothers stop here first, tell them where I am,” Eli said as he walked toward the front door.“I will, Marshal...”“You watch out for that...McK bunch. Remember what I told you. They’d just as soon waylay you from behind as spit in your eye.”Eli stepped off the boardwalk into the dusty street, walking at an angle toward the livery stable on the opposite side and down at the far end of the street. Out of habit, he’d scoured the street, buildings, doorways and boardwalks by the time he took. Brian also, somewhat reluctantly admitted that he didn’t have a steady girlfriend, preferring instead to date around.

Given his admittedly cute looks and athletic build, Harriet guessed he had no trouble keeping his dance card filled.Brian had been surprised at the end of that first week when Harriet handed him a twenty dollar bill. I was briefed fully, or as fully as the feds ever do, and they had intentionally allowed certain suspects to accidentally find out where I was being hidden.

Chuckling he responded, ?Yes, you’ve caught me just arriving from out of town in fact. Our host has been kind enough to let me use his wardrobe, actually, I was just on my way upstairs, care to follow??.They bantered as he.
