    Silas drives his cart right up fifth street to Doc Goodfellow’s Office. He hops off and races up to the door and knocks. "Doc come quick, see if there is anything you can do you ole Hank here."

    The Doctor races outside to the body of Hank Ketchum.

    "Ranger Ketchum, lord I hope..."

    He sees Hank's left eye has been blown out along with the back of his skull and turns to Silas gritting his teeth.

    "I'm glad ye found him, but you got a sick sense of humour boy"

    He storms back into his office.

    Silas watches the doc storm off and calls after him, "so there nothing you can do then." Silas kicks the dirt.

    Reed follows the doctor.

    'We found yer boy. Ayuh, he may be dead, but yuh gonna pay us?'

    "He ain't my boy, and no, I ain't payin' ye. That'd most likely be the Marshall, Virgil Earp."

    Reed sighs and lights a smoke.

    'I was punchin' locusts to find yer boy. Let's go Silas.'

    Silas has a good gawk around, trying to notice as much as possible.

    Arriving Silas sees little beyond that which is obvious.

    There's a bit of a commotion as the posse stop outside city hall with a fetid corpse. Families clear the street to avoid them.

    Shortly afterward the mayor, John Clum, comes out.

    "What in the seven blazing hells are you idiots doing, I......."

    A voice interrupts him.

    "No need to fret mayor, they've just finished a job for us." The speaker is Virgil Earp, being trailed by Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday.

    Virgil dismounts.

    "Poor feller, well little that can be done. Here's your $300 boys."

    He throws the wad of cash in Silas's cart as Wyatt lifts Ketchum's body out and they begin to ride off. Before they do Virgil turns.

    "I've some other things need fixin' o' course, seeing as how good ye were on this, might consider making ye deputies. Though maybe yer drifters, I respect that too, seeing as how my brother was one."

    Reed rides off to the nearest tavern on seeing the influx of lawmakers.

    He leaves the talking to the others.

    Lysette adds her purloined $200 tutoring fee to the pile for divvying, offer the cigars around and takes whats left as offerings out of town to perform massissi. It's not a good idea to be around others when the dance takes hold.

    "Harlan hasn't been in town in a week. Last time he was here he was ranting about monster o' some kind.

    Checking him out, was actually one of the things I wanted you to do.

    Make sure him, his wife and the children Martha, Melody, Amy, Hosiah, Jefferson, and baby Gideon, oh and his wards Roger and Sally, are all safe."

    Meanwhile, in the tavern, Reed downs a chaser and sips on his beer, moping about the law in the town. Maybe it was time he got out of dodge before they wised up to who he really was..

    As Reed sits in the bar, a pair of muscular desperadoes sit on either side of him.

    "Wanna get shot in the head amigo?" one of them asks.

    "Course we'll put ye up, seeing as how yer a new regular and all."

    The barman hands Thornbury a key.

    "First floor, second room on the left."

    Reed turns around and smirks at the desperadoes. 'Want your head busted you pair of ijits? Back across that border amigoes. This here is Reed's bar.'

    He turns back around and calls for another beer.

    "Wow! Wrong idea pal" they look at each other and laugh. One of them reaches into his bag and draws out....

    'Shot in the head' the new Hellstromme industries board game for 2-4 players.

    "We just noticed you sitting here chasing whiskey with snake blood and thought to ourselves 'a hardass like that could give us a run for our money in this here game', nobody else in town willing to play, or has the skills to match us."

    Reed guffaws.

    'A board game? Ayuh, why not?'

    He gestures for the men to join him.

    'So how do we play?'

    The men demonstrate the workings of the half card/half board game.

    "Say, chasing whiskey with snakeblood, that's mighty hardass I'll tell you. I only chase it with beer or cola or water. I'm a sissy in comparison."

    The whole bar watches on as Reed wins the game.

    The next morning the posse rises in their respective accommodations. Lysette appears to have skipped town with her share.
