The carriage rolled to a stop, and the driver called out their arrival at the Courage Saloon. The sounds of the bustling street filled the silence between them, a stark contrast to the quiet confession they had shared. Kathleen wiped her eyes, her expression a mix of sadness and admiration. “Joe, you’ve been through so much,” she said, her voice a caress that seemed to ease the tightness in his chest.
He nodded, feeling a newfound weight lifted from his shoulders. “But I ain’t alone no more,” he said, his eyes meeting hers.
Kathleen leaned over, her soft breasts brushing against his arm, and kissed him gently on the cheek. “You never will be,” she whispered, her breath warm against his skin.
Joe felt a strange mix of emotions swirl within him as she handed him a small pouch of coins. It was more money than he had ever seen at once, and it was from her, the woman who had given him a job, a purpose, and a place to call home. He took the pouch, his trembling fingers closing around the cold metal, and nodded. “I won’t let you down, Mrs Kathleen,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.
The carriage door swung open, and Joe stepped out into the blistering heat of the Dreadworth afternoon, feeling the weight of the pouch in his pocket. The silver coins jingled softly, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that had settled between them. Kathleen followed, her hand lingering on the carriage door, her eyes never leaving Joe’s.
He took a deep breath, the dusty air filling his lungs as he watched her climb down with an elegant grace that seemed at odds with the hardened streets they walked.
Joe’s hand hovered by the small of her back, ready to steady her if she stumbled, but she didn’t. She was a force of nature, a storm that had weathered the harshest conditions and emerged stronger for it. The sun glinted off her golden hair, casting a halo around her head that made her look like an angel sent from the heavens to walk among the damned.
He followed her up the wooden steps of the Courage Saloon, each plank groaning under their weight. The saloon’s swinging doors creaked open, and the sound of raucous laughter and the clinking of glasses spilled out onto the street like a river of joy and despair. The smell of whiskey and sweat hit him like a wall, and he took a step back, momentarily overwhelmed.
But Kathleen didn’t miss a beat. She sailed through the doors, her head held high, the Colt at her side a silent testament to her strength. The room grew quiet as she moved through the crowd, the patrons’ eyes drawn to her like moths to a flame. She was a vision of beauty and danger, a siren in the heart of the storm that was Dreadworth.
Joe watched her go, his heart in his throat. The silver dollar she had given him felt like a hot ember in his pocket, a reminder of the bond they had formed. He knew that she had entrusted him with something precious, something that went beyond the simple act of carrying her bag or shining her shoes.
With a deep breath, Joe turned and headed towards the train station, the very place where he had first set foot in Dreadworth. The sun beat down on his back, the heat of the day a stark contrast to the chill that had settled in his heart. The streets were alive with the cries of the merchants and the rumble of wagons, but all he could hear was the echo of Kathleen’s story, the pain and the strength in her voice.
The train station loomed ahead, a bastion of civilization in the otherwise lawless town. It was a place of beginnings and endings, where lives intersected briefly before moving on to their respective destinies. Joe had never been on a train, had never left the confines of Dreadworth, but the thought of leaving had always called to him, whispering sweet nothings of freedom and escape.
But now, as he watched the people come and go, the whistles blowing and the conductor calling out the departures, he knew he couldn’t leave. Not without Kathleen. Not without finishing what they had started.
Joe’s mind raced with thoughts of how to help her. He knew she had a plan, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that she needed more than just a fancy gun to take down Jack Randolph. He thought about the silver dollar, the way it had changed his life, and he wondered if it could be part of the solution. If he could somehow find a way to use it to their advantage, to tip the scales in their favor.
He was so lost in thought that he didn’t notice the old man who had sat down beside him, his gnarled hands resting on a wooden cane that looked as if it had seen more battles than Joe had meals. The man’s eyes, a faded blue that spoke of a lifetime of hard living, studied Joe’s face, seeing the turmoil that lay beneath the surface.
“Whatcha thinking about, son?” the old man asked, his voice a gravelly rumble that seemed to hold the weight of the world.
Joe looked at him, surprised to find someone willing to talk to him without expecting anything in return. “Just ... trying to figure out how to help a friend,” he said, his eyes still fixed on the horizon.
The old man leaned closer, the smell of tobacco and sweat mingling with the dust that clung to his clothes. “Friend, huh?” he mused. “What kind of trouble they in?”
Joe hesitated, then spoke. “She’s got a new gun, ma’am,” he said, his voice low and urgent. “A silver Colt, the prettiest thing you ever did see. But she don’t know how to use it, not really. She’s a dancer, not a gunfighter.”
The old man nodded, his eyes thoughtful. “Then we’ll have to teach her, won’t we?” he said, a steely resolve in her voice. “Some one has to show her how to wield that Colt like it’s an extension of herself, a tool to cut through the snakes that slither through this town.”
Joe’s eyes lit up with hope. “Do you know someone, mister?”
The old man nodded sagely. “I do,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “Her name’s Flossie ‘Long Shoot’ Johnson. She used to be quite the sharpshooter in her day. Worked with the circus, she did, before she settled down as a landlady out on the east outskirts of Dreadworth.”
Joe’s eyes widened with excitement. “Flossie ‘Long Shoot’ Johnson,” he repeated, the name rolling off his tongue like a spell. “Could she really teach her?”
The old man nodded solemnly. “Flossie could shoot the eye out of a crow at five hundred yards,” he said, his voice filled with a reverence reserved for the legends of the west. “If anyone can teach your friend how to handle that Colt, it’s her.”
Joe felt a spark of hope ignite within him. “How do we find her?” he asked, eager to take action.
The old man leaned in closer, his eyes gleaming with the excitement of a secret shared. “You just gotta know where to look,” he said with a knowing smile. “Follow the sound of laughter and the smell of fresh-baked pies, and you’ll find Flossie’s place. It’s the only house with a red door and a potted cactus on the porch.”
Joe’s heart raced at the thought of finding this legendary sharpshooter. He thanked the old man profusely, the silver dollar in his pocket feeling like a talisman of fate.
The following day, Joe rose with the sun, the excitement of their mission propelling him through the dusty streets of Dreadworth. He had brought the most beautiful costume for Kathleen, one that made him feel like a knight preparing armor for his queen. It was a stunning ensemble of emerald silk and black lace, a gown that would hug her curves like a lover’s embrace and make her shine like the jewel she truly was.
With the costume wrapped carefully in a dusty cloth, Joe pushed open the heavy doors of the Courage Saloon, the same doors that had swallowed him into a world of chaos and opportunity. The room was dimly lit, the smell of stale whiskey and cigar smoke a familiar welcome. The patrons barely glanced up from their card games and conversations, too absorbed in their own lives to notice the transformation of the street urchin who had become the burlesque dancer’s confidant.
Joe approached the bar, his eyes scanning for Lady Myrtle, the saloon’s sharp-tongued but kind-hearted owner. She wasn’t there. In her stead, Mr. Frost, a burly man with a thick mustache and a scowl that could curdle milk eyed him suspiciously. “What can I get you, kid?” he barked, wiping a greasy towel over the scarred wooden counter.
Joe swallowed hard, clutching the wrapped costume under his arm. “I’ve got a delivery for Mrs. Kathleen,” he said, trying to sound more confident than he felt. “It’s from Monsieur LeBlanc’s. She’s expecting it.”
Mr. Frost scowl deepened, but he jerked his head towards a staircase at the back of the saloon. “Just go to her room,” he grunted.
