Re: Chapter 4.2: Deadwood Burning
The gunslinger sighs. "Unfinished, is it? As you will." He lifts Calamity Jane up onto his shoulders. The woman groans, as does the gunslinger. He looks back at Jack. "See you now, Swearengen's not coming back tonight. I'll thank you for stopping the madman who was shooting the place up, but as I was called here by a fellow who said it was three who attacked the Gem--Calamity Jane, someone claiming to be Wild Bill Hickok, and a Negro--well, I'd suggest you not be seen around here again, I would. People will focus on Jane and Bill--don't give them any reason to remember you bein' mixed up in this as anything other than a hero." He looks over at the fire for a moment before heading on his way, grunting as he carries the limp form of Calamity Jane on his back.
Jack waits, and waits, but nothing emerges from the inferno. The building burns down to cinders despite the best efforts of the makeshift bucket brigade, as are the buildings next to it.
