Busted Gulch Vol. 3

In Question (Ruechari)

In Question

Ruechari took a short flight

The county jail was within sight

Something did not seem right

So she did alight

Back to her true form

She went inside to look for Lorne

Things were too quiet

As quiet as can be

That's when she'd seen the

Empty cells

And suddenly someone yells

"Please, help me!"

Rue ran to the spot

And then dropped

Down by the sheriff's side.

"I can't get him to wake

There's been a jail break,"

Lorne's sister cried.

"I can help you

but there is something

you must do.

You must get a message

To 3Gun."

"You know 3Gun?"

She looked surprised.

"I'm Loren, Lorne's twin sister."

"I should have surmised.

Tell him all you know

Tell him everything, now go!"

She paused afraid to leave

Her brother alone

In the hands of a stranger

Her fear had shown.

"Loren, I am you brother's

best chance to live

but his life is slipping like a sieve

Please you must warn 3Gun

For his life is at stake

And I promise you

When you return

He will be awake."

Loren nodded she understood

And ran from the jail

To tell her tale

Ruechari cleared her mind

Needing to find

The Marshall

Who had eaten the pudding,

From Ruby's parcel.

The Marshall awoke with a start

Wondering why his head did smart

Then he pulled his guns on Rue

She made certain, no sudden moves.

"What did you do to me?

Did you set my prisoners free?"

He allowed no explanation

From Ruechari

He shoved her in the jail

At the moment she was too frail

To put up a fight

Hoping Billy was on his way

From the campsite.
