The Message
It was getting late
Nearly eight
Almost time for
Rue and my date
Two bowls of noodles
Table set with candles
Red Velvet cupcakes
The whole kit and caboodle
The only thing left was the girl
My head was awhirl
What would she say
Would it be yes.
It would be anyone's guess.
There was a sudden knock on the door
Looks like I won't have to wait anymore
Billy opened to see, not Ruechari
But the Marshall
"Where is Myna? Is she here?"
Billy knew that look of fear.
"She went looking for you.
What is it? What's wrong?"
"What do you mean
she went looking for me?"
"When she didn't get news
she began to worry.
She saddled up Lace.
And left in a hurry."
"I must speak with 3Gun.
We have some trouble to outrun."
Billy looked back at the table with a sigh
He wrote a note for Rue
to wait for him and why.
The two went to the Sheriff's office
To find 3Gun locking up a drunkard.
"Lorne!" What are you doing ...?"
"My wagon was ambushed.
I was quite outnumbered.
We need to talk and soon."
"Let's talk at the saloon."
3Gun locked the prisoner up tight.
And the three set out into the night.
"How long ago did Myna set out?"
"Perhaps about noon."
Lorne's face clouded with worry.
He wanted to get this out in a hurry.
"We have ourselves a situation,"
Lorne said with vexation
"Tex Mex is regrouping
for revenge, against BG."
He left his message with me.
He knows about the gold
And this is what I was told.
"If you don't surrender the town to him
along with the gold deed.
The town will be burnt
to the ground
there will be nothing
left to be see."
"This is federal matter now
But 3Gun you're the lead.
I will do whatever you decide
You just tell me what you need?"
"But I don't like that Myna hasn't returned.
Our paths should have crossed.
I can't imagine she got lost."
"I have to go find her,
and bring her back
Then you can tell me what you plan to do
To keep BG safe from Tex's payback."
