Re: Episode 5-1: Blood Moon
"Sounds like a plan to me, Mr. Clarke. You can take the first watch and I'll catch some shut eye. I'll take the second watch," he said, preparing to leave, though he stopped by the door as Randolph addressed him, and passed a glance between Coraline, Sky Dog, and Walter.
"Look, you're all right to think that I should bring in Ralphie Simpkins in for this. We usually let most fights go around here. Got too much more serious shit to reckon with, but he went a little too far with Walter here. I despair of what might've happened if you all hadn't been around. That said, all that's gonna do right now is set this lil' powder keg here on fire. His brother Jake and the Wilderness Riders are gonna figure this is a North-South thing, and God knows who else. Several of you are from back East, Caleb's a United States Marshal, and I used to fight in the Union army. Same with ol' Dog Eye back there. The only one in this posse o' deputies that doesn't have those kinda ties is Mr. Clarke, and I think the Wilderness Riders would be inclined to ignore that fact."
He shook his head, and continued, looking everyone right in the eye. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not gonna go after Ralphie Simpkins till this whole celebration is over and everybody clears town. Then when tempers get settled, we'll bring him in together - that I promise you." He waited to see if there were any other questions.
