Re: Chapter 10: Murder in The Flat
In reply to Jake Richardson (msg #58):
Leading Horse, his two pards and their horses, Travis Sunday advances toward Planters Hotel and Haverty's Livery. By the time the trio reaches the low-roofed bank, all three of the men realize that the way forward is next to impossible with three mounts in tow. Getting the horses to the livery won't be a challenge, but it will have to be done single file, if at all.
Among the crowd in front of them are some familiar faces: Pete Haverty, Mr. Hamilton and one of the bank tellers, the two business men from the porch, the small Indian woman that Travis and Ayasha saw as they entered town, the chinese man from the Laundry, Jet Keenan, the beautiful young woman from Doc Culver's (what was her name? thinks ENS), Arnie Foster, the telegraph man, the young man from York and Meyers, and Senor Rojas. All gathered around as if expecting something, while the strapping deputy, who looks a mite like a young Randy Oldman stands on the porch between the crowd and the entrance to Planters Hotel, Henry rifle purposefully tucked into the crook of his arm.
