The Untamed ( Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

Katie sat on her knees looking up from one man to the other and back, feeling the collar secure around her neck. She watched as Colorado removed his gunbelt slowly, looking at her, grinning a little. He only looked away when he handed it to Ben, who simply took it and gave him an almost imperceptible nod. She watched as he took a step forward and as his grin spread a little wider. She opened her mouth to respond but Colorado's hand reached out and grabbed her hair, tipping her head back, making her grunt and moan. Katie couldn't help being surprised by Colorado's actions and his confidence. He wasn't exactly a shy man but this was altogether different than she had ever seen before.

"AArghh.... I... I do want you... I..." Slowly she reached up her hands and rubbed them over the front of Colorado's pants, feeling his cock hard underneath. "I... I want your cock." As Colorado held her, head back, her face only a few inches in front of his groin, Ben crouched down. He quickly undid the buttons on her shirt, pulling it out of her pants as he did so and then pulled the camisole down under her bare tits. As he did so, he took the opportunity to squeeze and rub and pinch the already hard nipples.

"I ... I am a... a whore... a cock hungry whore... I... I want you... want your cock inside me."
 
Colorado found that he really enjoyed hearing Katie say that she was a whore and that she wanted his cock. This turned him on in ways that Colorado never thought of before. He felt so powerful holding Katie's hair while she was on her knees in front of him. This submissive side to Katie very exciting and so different from how he had viewed her in the past. While Colorado kept a hold of Katie's hair with one hand, he used his other hand to undo his pants. Colorado let his pants fall down around his boots exposing his big beautiful cock too Katie's eyes. This was another side to Colorado that Katie hadn't seen before. Her young....handsome deputy was a stud, with a big thick hard cock just waiting for her.

" Show me bitch! " Colorado growled out as he pulled Katie's head forward until her face was against his warm cock. " Show me how much you wanted me!.......Show me how big of a whore you are! " Colorado snapped out orders then he left go of Katie's hair. Ben who was still kneeling was grinning from ear to ear. Colorado had truly learned how to treat Katie last night and Katie would be seeing her deputy in a different light after today.
 
Katie had never really seen Colorado in this way before now. Of course she hadn't failed to notice that he was a good looking man right from the start, but he had never seemed to have the confidence... at least not to do this. Not to be this much in control when it came to dealing with women. She had not doubt that he could do it when it came to breaking up a bar fight or throwing a drunk in jail; but he had always just seemed to much of a nice guy to do something like this. But as Katie feelt his hand tight in her hair, holding her head back, she knew that from somewhere he had found exactly the right kind of control to work in just the right way for her.

She whimpered a little as her eyes watching him undoing his pants. And then she had the second surprise of the morning. She never imagined that Colorado would be quite that well built. As he ordered to to show him what she was, her eyes flashed upward for a moment and she felt him move her head towards his cock. Her mouth opened obligingly. She took his head at first, licking and sucking on it softly, tongue cirling it.

Ben smiled and then patted Colorado on the shoulder as he stood up and started to walk out to the main office.

"I'll watch the shop for you while you... put the Marshal in her place."
 
Last night everyone told Colorado that he needed use power to control Katie and that was true after seeing her in action today. Katie herself had power, but she also enjoyed having that strong hand forcing her to do things that she shouldn't. Right now Katie & Colorado had crossed the line since she was his boss. An employer normally doesn't have sex with their employee, it's just not done. But Colorado using the skills taught to him by Rosie and urged on by Ben had shown Katie that he could take her whenever he wanted her.

Colorado looked down at Katie while she begin sucking his meaty dick. He felt Ben's hand patting him on the back which made Colorado turn his head slight towards him. Colorado gave Ben a nod of his head after Ben said that he would mind the shop while Colorado put the Marshal in her place. That Colorado planned on doing since Ben told him last night that Katie had always wanted to be taken in her jail cells. Colorado would make Katie's fantasy come true. He would take her in this very room and that memory would be with Katie forever. Colorado returned his gaze back to Katie as she continued to work on his shaft. " That feels really good Katie........But you've been unfair to me.........Here you've been letting every man in town fuck you..........Even those who work at your mine. " Colorado started while he stroked his right hand over Katie's head. " I'm about the only man in town who hasn't fucked you........And from what I saw last night your taking on dogs as well. " Colorado's hand slowly moved over the top of Katie's hair while he spoke and she sucked his cock. " Today I'm taking from you what you owe me..........You owe me a shot at that dirty cunt........But you're gonna beg me to fuck you.......I wanna hear you beg to be used! " Colorado added as he jerked Katie's head away from his cock by using her hair. He spat on the left cheek of Katie's face then used his cock to rub it around. Colorado then forced Katie's head back down onto his beefy cock. He pushed Katie's head all the way down until his heavy ball sack touched her chin.
 
Katie moaned with a hint of disappointment as Colorado pulled her off his cock. Breathing a little heavier than normal, she stared up at him, mouth open a little, chin wet, his cock just out of reach now. She couldn't help but flinch a little as he spat on her cheek and he seemed to enjoy rubbing it into her cheek. She opened her mouth to begin to beg - just as he had instructed - but almost immediately it was filled again with his cock. Colorado didn't hesitate in his movement; it was smooth but steady but before Katie could really appreciate what was about to happen, her mouth was filled and Colorado's cock was pushed deep into her throat. She choked... coughed... and still Colorado held her head firm against his groin. After what seemed like an age, he finally pulled her head off and forced her once again to look up.

"Beg" he said, the smile clear

Katie struggled to catch her breath, her chest heaving.

"Fuck ... me... Colorado... please... please fuck me... please let me feel your... cock inside my pussy."
 
Colorado was beginning too see just why Ben, Raf and the others enjoyed this feeling of power over women. It was truly a sweet taste and having this power over Katie made it so much better. Last night Colorado wasn't sure that he could do this, that he could force sex on Katie. Last night Colorado wasn't sure he that he would enjoy this, but he was. The grin on Colorado's face grew even wider when Katie begged for him to fuck her. He reached down grabbing Katie by her shoulders then yanked her to her feet. Colorado soon had Katie's pants unhooked and down around her ankles. He spun Katie around so that she was facing the bars. She was a few feet away from the cell when Colorado made her bend over. Katie wasn't fully bent over....her body was slightly forward with her hands holding onto the bars.

Colorado wasted no time, he jammed his massive cock deep into Katie's cunt. Then Colorado reached out grabbing a hold of the hair on the back of Katie's head. " Take a good look at these bars Katie.........You'll be seeing a lot of them.........Every morning I want you in here with your shirt open and your pants around your ankles.......I want you here in the same place begging me to fuck you! " Colorado growled out into Katie's ear. " I'm make sure that you start your day properly.......Just the way a dirty whore wants her day started........With a nice hard fuck! " Colorado's voice was gruff as he spoke then he added a slight chuckle. " Do you understand Katie!? " Colorado kept his huge cock buried deep in Katie's cunt while he spoke to her, but he didn't move it. He was waiting for her to answer whether she understood what she would be doing each morning before he would start fucking her.
 
Even with asking... Begging him to fuck her, Katie was surprised when Colorado yanked her upwards. She almost managed to stifle a groan as she was pulled up and spun around. Colorado's hands seemed to be everywhere on her. Naked from the waist down, her shirt open and her camisole pulled down, she grabbed hold of the bars as Colorado pushed her forward. Her knuckles were almost white as she gripped them them tightly feeling the steel cold in her palms.

She was barely in that position when she felt him ram his cock straight into her; one firm but smooth and quick motion and he was buried, ball deep. She groaned and then almost immediately squealed as her head was pulled back by her hair. Everything felt so good. The way he held her. The way his cock filled her. The word he spoke and the way his breath felt against her neck. Her eyes looked sideways towards Colorado so that she could just about see him looking at her, smiling. As much as his grip allowed, she nodded.

"Yes.... I... I understand... It will be just as youn say... I promise."
 
With Katie agreeing to do what Colorado had said, he started to fuck her like some wild beast. Colorado's young hard body was slamming into Katie's which made his meaty dick push deeply into her cunt. He was taking Katie in the way that she wanted, the way that she enjoyed most. Colorado kept a firm grip on Katie's hair which kept her head backwards. His powerful hip thrusts made his balls slap against Katie's fiery red clit. Colorado had found the magic touch which put him in the same group as Jack,Victor & Jimmy Crenshaw, JP Wright, Raf Hollister, Ben Tate and William Kane. These men all learned that Katie enjoyed her sex rough and gave her just what she wanted. Now Colorado had found this secret which was the key to Katie's sexual desire and he was damn sure gonna use it.

Colorado was by now moaning and groaning. Katie was the first woman he had ever had sex with. " Your my first Katie. " Colorado whispered into her ear. He wanted her to know that she was being taken by a virgin. " Sally won't give it up until we're married......So I'm gonna fuck you each day and enjoy the sweet feeling of a woman's pussy. " Until last night Colorado was willing to wait until he was married to get sex. But after watching Katie and hearing how easy it was to get her. Colorado decided that he didn't want to wait any more. He was gonna get sex and he was gonna get it from the town whore. For as long as Katie held the job as town Marshal, Colorado planned on fucking her each morning. Colorado's thrusts began to get harder and faster as his climax was getting closer. His breathing was also getting heavier with each passing second. Fucking Katie's pussy felt so damn good and Colorado knew that he wouldn't last much longer.
 
As she hung onto the bars and as Colorado continued to drill into her, she braced herself against every stroke. At times she maybe even pushed back a little to meet each of his powerful thrusts. All Ben could hear from outside was the sound of their bodies slamming together, the combined groans and moans and the rattle of the cell bars. Ben sat smiling to himself, reading through the wanted posters and yesterday's paper. He didn't doubt that whilst Katie was certainly enjoying herself, no matter what Rosie had managed to teach Colorado the night before, if there was a choice to be made, Katie would take him every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Did that make him arrogant? He really didn't care. He just knew it to be true.

At that moment however Katie really wasn't thinking about Ben; she wasn't thinking about the danger of anyone walking in; she wasn't concerned that anyone in the outer office would be in no doubt about what was happening in the back room. All she cared about at that moment was how good Colorado felt. She had never been anyone's first time before - at least she didn't think she had. But she couldn't help be somewhat surprised at how good Colorado was if this truly was his first time. She also couldn't help but wonder if Sally knew what she was getting. It was true that she did feel a little guilty about Sally. Colorado was her beau but at that moment... And she really didn't feel that she was in a position to deny Colorado any more than she would have said no to Ben.
 
Colorado continued his pounding of Katie's hot and hungry pussy for another 10 minutes before his climax hit. He jerked his body hard against Katie's which almost sent her head first into the bars. But Katie by now had a good firm grip on those bars. Her hands were tightly wrapped around the steel with a death's grip. Colorado's cock began to spray his hot cum all throughout Katie's cunt. His cream filled her fully until his balls were empty and Colorado pulled his cock from her body. Colorado had taken a step back away from Katie, his breathing was a little heavy. But Colorado was in great shape so he was only winded.

Colorado was going to reach down and pull up his pants when he remembered something that Rosie had told him. She said that once he was done fucking Katie, he was to make her clean his cock. Rosie had said that this was important to make Katie finish the job. That way in the future Katie would expect to be servicing Colorado this way after each time they fucked. " Come here whore!.......Get on your knees and clean my cock! " Colorado braked out his orders as he snapped his fingers at Katie. " And I expect you to thank me for fucking you're dirty cunt this morning! " Colorado added boldly as he stood waiting for Katie to finish her job.


At this very moment a few doors down and acrossed the street from Katie's office. The messenger from the telegraph office was sorting through the messages and getting them ready for delivery. One of these was for Katie which had been sent late last night by JP from Barstow. It would tell Katie all about Texas Red and his gang being caught and how General Harper would be in Victorville by late morning. It would also tell Katie to have her cells ready for two prisoners and to have the town Doctor standing by.
 
Katie screamed as her climax hit hard and as she gripped the bars even tighter, her head dropped forward, eyes closed tight. As she felt Colorado withdraw from her, she lifted her head slowly. She opened her eyes and turned around to see him stood in front of her, a smug satisfied grin on his face, cheeks flushed form his exertions. She watched as he made a slight move to pull up his pants and then he stopped. Her breathing slowed a little as he told her what he expected. She stared at him for a moment and then stepped towards him.

Silently, she moved down onto her knees and looked up at him.

"Thank you" she said softly before leaning forward and taking his glistening cock into her mouth. She worked her tongue slowly, looking up at him as she cleaned their combined cum from his softening shaft.
 
Colorado looked down upon Katie as she started to clean his cock with her mouth and tongue. He was truly satisfied with how this all turned out. Katie had become his first and she wouldn't be his last. Nor would this be the last time Colorado fucked his boss. Whether it was a good idea or not, Katie had already agreed to fuck Colorado each morning in the cell block area of the jail. Colorado would also expect Katie to do this whether they had prisoners or not. The only exception to this rule would come when General Harper brought Texas Red and The Cherokee Kid into to town. Colorado and Ben had already agreed that at certain times they wouldn't push Katie into sex. This would maintain her position as Marshal and the respect that came with the office. But any other time Colorado would fuck Katie in the cell block even with prisoners there. They could watch Katie be used like a cheap whore and even in certain cases, they could join in.

" I'm gonna enjoy our morning meets Katie........You're such a good little cunt. " Colorado said as he looked down on Katie. He placed his right hand upon her head then gentle stroked his fingers over her hair. Once Katie had finished Colorado's cock, he pulled up his pants then walked out of the cell block area and into the office. Ben who was sitting behind Katie's desk looked up at Colorado. He asked the deputy if he had enjoyed himself, to which Colorado said yes with a huge grin on his face. The two men laughed as Colorado sat down behind his desk and Katie came out from the cells. Just then the messenger came into the office. He walked up to Katie handing her the message from JP.
 
Katie watched, still tasting Colorado and herself, as Colorado pulled up his pants looking particularly smug with himself. As he walked away she couldnt help but wonder what on earth she had agreed to and whether this was a particularly good things to be doing. But she couldnt deny that she had enjoyed what Colorado had to offer. She did up her blouse and then stood, pullin gup her own pants and fastening them.

As she walked back into the main room, she saw Ben sitting in her chair whilst Colorado was doing his gun belt back up, still smiling. Ben looked across at her as she walked in, wondering whether it was obvious that, now she was dressed, she had just been fucked. Before he had the chance to decide, the young messenger from the telegrapg office came in. Katie took the telegram from him and read it.

"Apparently we are going to have our first residents. Town is about to get busy. The Army's coming together with the US Marshals and a very bad man. We need to warn Doc that his services are going to be needed and we might well have to get the judge to make a stop in town next time he's passing."
 
Katie wouldn't have to worry about get a judge since JP had already sent a telegraph to a Federal Judge in San Francisco. He had boarded a train that morning and was on his way south. Just before 11:00 am that morning, General Harper and his men rode into town with Texas Red & The Cherokee Kid. They rode slowly passed Raf's saloon and headed for Katie's office. The town's people was now buzzing with sounds as these men rode by. It wasn't often that the US Army came to town and less often that this town had an outlaw with the status of Texas Red.

General Harper rode his horse up in front of Katie's office, he was followed closely by his man and the outlaws. He dismounted from his horse stepped down to the ground. Thomas Harper was well known for his heroics during the war between the states. A number of pulp fiction magazines had been written about him, although many of those stories were not true. These stories had been written by a man who saved Thomas's life during a battle. But this act of heroism caused this man to lose his legs. He had no other way to make a living so Thomas let this man make a living off of his name by writing stories which made Thomas into a living legend like Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone.

Rugged and handsome is how women saw Thomas Harper who stood 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighted 210 lbs. Thomas looked around then towards the Marshal's office where three people were standing out front. Katie had come out along with Colorado on her right and Ben on her left. Ben was a little surprised too see Texas Red in cuffs sitting on his horse. He knew that Raf was hoping that Red would been killed, but here he was. Ben knew that Raf's world would come crashing down around him if Red told the law the truth. The truth of course was that Raf had hired Red to kill that Federal Judge in Texas so Raf could get his hands on those water rights. This whole thing was going to blow up in Raf's face. Ben knew that he would have to cover his own ass which he had done pretty well so far. Ben wasn't a dumb man, he was gonna have to switch sides and back Katie if he planned on getting out of this a free man.
 
Almost at the same time the three of them became aware of an increase in the usual 'buzz' which came from the main street. They all moved to the doorway, Katie stepping outside onto the boardwalk immediately outside of the jail, and watched the small posse approaching. General Harper's union blue uniform was dusty but nonetheless still impressive. His men were in pairs behind him, also dressed in the dark blue, flanking their prisoners. The gold cross calvery swords on the epilets caught the sun every now and then and flashed in the light. For a small town, even a group of calvery men this few in numbers was impressive.

Katie watched as Harper dismounted. He was a big man on a big horse. Katie wasnt even sure she would be able to mount the chestnut gelding without getting some kind of lift up. Her gaze followed the man as he looked around, spotted them and headed in their direction. As he climbed the steps off the street, Katie stepped forward and held out her hand.

"General Harper. Your timing couldn't have been better. " He took her hand and shook it. "We've only just got word of your arrival. The messenger has just gone to fetch the Doc. Welcome to Victorville." She stepped aside and gave a vague wave in the direction of the jailhouse interior. "Your men can bring the prisoners through here or I can have the back door to the alleyway opened and you can take them practically straight into the cells from there."
 
Thomas stepped up onto the sidewalk removing his glove then took Katie's hand. " I've heard a lot about you Marshal.........Marshal Wright speaks very highly of you. " Thomas said in reply to Katie's welcome. He then said that the front door would be fine. Any fight that these two had in them was knocked out sometime ago. " I'll show them the way to the cells Marshal. " Colorado said as he moved to the front door. He waited their as the two soldiers helped the two outlaws down from their horses. Thomas told the one man who was a Corporal to follow the deputy. He also told the men to stay in the cell block with the outlaws at all time.

Thomas took a moment to knock some of the dust from his blue uniform by using his gloves. While doing this, Thomas told Katie that JP was an hour or so behind him. Thomas said that JP stayed behind in Barstow to send out the news and to wire her and a Federal Judge in San Francisco. Of course there were no rail lines in Victorville, so the judge would get off at Barstow and take the stage to Victorville. Doc came rushing up after he got word that his skills were needed. Katie introduced him to Thomas then he went inside the jail. Colorado had already lead the soldiers and the outlaws to the cells. Texas Red was sitting in one cell and The Cherokee Kid was in another.

Ben couldn't help but be impressed with the real General Harper. He had read some of those tall tails and there was little doubt that many weren't true. However if any one man could do the things written in some of those stories........it would be a man like Harper. Katie had taken the time to introduce Ben who removed his hat when shaking Thomas's paw like hand. Ben said that he had busy to attend too then left, but before leaving he nudged Katie a bit whispering to her. " You know what they say about men with big hands........They have big cocks. " Ben followed that with a wink of his eye then he headed over towards Raf's place. He had some bad news to deliver which he knew would upset Raf greatly.
 
Harper's grip was secure... would anyone have expected anything else? He was a mountain of a man; bigger than JP and Ben and Katie couldn't help but wonder whether his physical size had something to do with the size of the legend that had emerged.

"How is JP?"

She nodded at Colorado as he said he would show them in and she watched as he went back outside before bringing her attention back to the Colonel.

"Please Colonel. Have a seat." As he beat the red dust from his clothes and outlined the situation, Katie walked across to the stove and poured him a cup of coffee. She handed it to him as he walked over to her, obviously not particularly interested in sitting. At that moment, Colorado walked through with the soldiers and then prisoners. They - the prisoners - didn't look particularly impressive and unlike Harper they didn't appear to deserve their reputation. Both were slim - the Kid was positively skinny. Texas looked to be in his late 20s, but the Kid had his name for a reason. Katie would have been surprised if he had been much more than 18. They were both dirty, unshaved, their clothes in need of a good wash too. Katie watched them as they walked through. Texas Red saw her and smirked a little, staring right back at her until he was through the door and out of sight. It was only a few seconds later when Doc came in and,after a brief introduction, he was directed straight through. From what she could see though, neither prisoner was in a huge amount of pain and neither looked like they were going to cheat the hangman.

Katie was suddenly aware of Ben standing near to her desk.

"My apologies... Colonel... this is Ben Tate. He er... he is in charge at one of the larger ranches in our parish. Right hand man of Mr. Raf Hollister." She watched as they shook hands and then as Ben made his apologies. As the Colonel wandered over to look into the other room, she felt Ben's breath on her neck, heard his words. She felt her cheeks flush a little and she shot an annoyed look in Ben's direction just as he gave her a wink. With his back turned however, she couldn't help but smile after him.
 
Ben quickly left Katie's office and rushed acrossed then down the street to Raf's saloon. At this time of day hardly anyone was around except for the bartender, a few working girls, a couple of hands from Raf's Ranch and a few guys playing cards. Ben knocked on the door to Raf's office before entering. He fond Raf sitting behind his desk working on the books as usual. Raf looked up at Ben while continuing to write. " Well........What is it? " Raf said with a annoyed sound to his voice as he looked back down at the large black book. It was moments like this when Ben really wanted to slap Raf upside of his head. Ben covered Raf's ass so many times and Raf still couldn't help but be an ass.

Ben removed his hat then sat down in a chair that was facing Raf. He told Raf that he had been hanging around Katie's office when she got a message from US Marshal Wright. Ben told Raf what the message said then he added that General Thomas Harper had brought the prisoners into town just a few minutes ago. Raf didn't stop writing in his book because Ben hadn't dropped the names of the outlaws......yet. " Those outlaws that General Harper brought in........One was The Cherokee Kid......The other was Texas Red. " Ben said with a sly smile playing over his face. Raf's face turned a white as a ghost upon hearing those names. His hand which was holding a pen started to shake. " KILL THEM!!!.....I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO!!.......KILL THEM!! " Raf shouted out as anger and panic over took his mind. Ben started to laugh which made Raf slam his fist down onto his desk. " WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY!? " Raf snarled out as he stared daggers at Ben. " You're crazy if you think I'm going to go in there and kill those two when two US Calvary men and their commanding officer are there.......Katie and Colorado are there also......Oh and that Marshal Wright is on his way.........Hell he could be here now.......I've covered your ass more times then I can count......But you're on your own this time. " Ben said as he slowly rose up from the chair. Raf's eyes were flaring with anger as he reached for the top drawer of his desk. He slowly opened it then pulled out a gun.

" You'll do as told......or you won't make it out of this office alive! " Raf growled out as he pointed the weapon at Ben. Ben turned around slowly seeing the gun pointed at him. He started to laugh even as Raf pulled the hammer of his pistol back. " You really aren't that smart.........I knew that you kept that pistol in your desk.......It's been unloaded for months now.........I've worked for you for a long time now.......and I've learned that you can't be trusted Raf. " Ben said as he placed his hat back onto his head then he left Raf's office. Thing around Victorville were about to change and Ben didn't want to be caught on the wrong side. Ben was going to tell Katie everything, then he would offer to back her against Raf. Of course Ben didn't know if Katie would except his help, but at least he was covering his own ass for a change.

General Harper looked into the room where the cells where. He saw Colorado standing there talking with his troops. They were telling Colorado all about the battle that took place to bring the two outlaws in. " JP is fine.......But then again JP is always fine. " Thomas said as he turned around then walked back over to Katie's desk. He sat down in one of the chairs which sat in front of hers. Thomas told Katie that he and JP had been friends for many years now. Then a knock came at the door and it opened. Standing in the doorway was Father Mathew Price. " Hello again Marshal. " Mathew said then he noticed the army officer sitting at her desk and his eyes flew wide open. " Thomas Harper!......It's good too see you again my old friend! " Mathew added as Thomas stood up to shake Mathew's hand. The two men then greeted each other with a hug. " It's been a long time Mathew......I didn't know you were still in America. " Thomas said as Mathew smile nodding his head. He explained that his church business had kept him here a while longer. Thomas was one of the very few who knew what kind of work Mathew really did. Thomas, Mathew and JP all joined forces a while back to help Mathew on one of his missions.

The two men walked over to Katie's desk and sat down. Mathew looked over at Katie asking how she had been? JP hit the outskirts of town riding in and past Raf's saloon. He noticed all the changes that took place while he was away. Even the new saloon which featured a name that JP had heard before. JP rode up to Katie's office seeing Thomas's horse outside. He smiled as he stepped down from the horse then walked up onto the sidewalk.
 
Katie set herself down at her desk, the chair still a little warm from Ben's occupation of it. She watched as Harper looked in on the back room and then made his way to one of the chairs in front of her desk. She couldn't help smiling at the suggestion that JP was always fine... well, except for once, but she was the only other person alive who knew about that and that was the way it was going to stay. Suddenly she was distracted by the knock; partly because it came out of nowhere but also, it wasnt very often that anyone knocked on their way into the jailhouse. Unless there was a storm raging, or it was the middle of winter, the door was barely closed during the day so it was simply not necessary.

Katie couldn't help be a little surprised at who she saw and her smile broadened again. Her surprise and in some respects her interest piqued a little more when it became clear that the priest knew General Harper - and knew him well. Just as she was about to say hello, he recognized who was sat opposite her and was himself immediately distracted. She didn't want to interrupt the reunion. Only when they were finished and when Mathew had settled down in the vacant chair did he return his attention to her.

"Hello again Father. I... I didn't expect to see you back again so quickly. What is it I wonder about our little town that has you visiting again... not that you are not very welcome of course."
 
Mathew couldn't help but laugh when Katie said that she wondered what it was about Victorville that brought him back. He found Katie to be very charming and quite intelligent. She wasn't like most women in America, or even most around the world. If Mathew hadn't pledged his soul to God in order to fight evil for the Angels of Death, he could be attracted to her. But Mathew's path would lead him to another woman who would capture his heart and help him learn the truth about his dark past. " I do believe I said that I would return once my work was done......Plus I have a way of knowing when I'm need somewhere.......And my gut tells me that your little town needs me.....Oh and please Katie....Just call me Mathew. " Mathew said as he sat back into his chair. Thomas was just about to speak when the front door opened and JP stepped in. " Well I see you made it..........Mathew!? " JP said when he saw Thomas sitting in front of Katie's desk then his eyes caught sight of the other man sitting there.

JP walked up as Mathew rose up from his chair. " It's good too see you again Mathew. " JP said as he held out his hand then took Mathew's shaking it. " And I you JP........It's been a while since the last time we three were together. " Mathew said with a smile as he returned to his chair. JP nodded his head as he moved over to stand near Katie. " Yes it has........That business with Baron Klaus was very messy......The United States would have been in for some dark days if you hadn't come to stop that monster. " JP said to which Mathew added that his job was made easier with the help of Thomas & JP.

JP again nodded his head then he looked over to Katie. He wondered if Mathew had told her what his real job was for the church. But Katie would most likely laugh it off as just nonsense. Hell JP was there and seen with his own eyes the kind of evil Mathew fights. It was still hard for him to believe that what happened was real, even thought it did. " How have you been Katie? " JP asked as his normal gruff sounding voice soften a bit just for her. " Have the prisoners been taken care of? "
 
Katie smiled at him and was about to answer when yet another big man walked into the jailhouse.

"My word we are popular this morning." she exclaimed before her brain recognized who it was. When it did, she started to laugh.

"Oh God... look what the cat dragged in now." She stood up and waited for JP to approach. She watched again as the men - the friends - greeted each other. Her interest piqued a little at JPs comment to Mathew about monsters. It seemed a strange epithet for a law man to use and suggesting that one man - no matter how bad - could have caused dark days for the entire country...? But as JP turned and spoke to her, she gave it no more thought.

"They have Marshal. They're through there with the Doc, the General's men and my Deputy."
 
JP gave Katie a smile when she said that everything had been taken care of. He reached out wrapping his arms around her giving Katie a warm embrace. Although it had been almost 2 years ago when these three men were last together, their minds were still fresh on the incident with Baron Klaus. Each man could tell the same story as if it had happened yesterday. " Perhaps Katie would like too hear the story behind Baron Klaus? " Mathew teased Katie while she was being hugged by JP. This made JP break the hug as he looked towards Mathew. " Are you sure that's wise Mathew?.....You said the church takes great care in covering up the truth about real evil which is stalking the Earth. " JP asked of his friend then General Harper sat forward in his chair. " Well it seems that Katie is a trusted friend of yours JP.......She's also a town Marshal and should hear for herself that there are more dangerous things walking the Earth besides outlaws. " Thomas said while Mathew nodded his head in agreement.

Mathew & Thomas seemed to think that Katie should hear the story for herself. She'd be the first person outside of the church who did hear what really happened. JP had just agreed with his friends when Colorado stepped out from the room where the cells were kept. " Marshal Wright.........Texas Red wants to speak with all of you. " Colorado stepped back into the room after speaking. Thomas & Mathew rose up from their chairs then slipped in behind JP & Katie who had already started into the cell block. Doc was just finishing up with The Cherokee Kid as the others entered. JP stepped up to Red's cell asking what he wanted. Texas Red slowly sat up on his bunk looking at everyone standing outside of the cell. Red knew that the way things were going now, he'd never get revenge on Raf. So he would take Raf down with him and thus Red started to tell everyone the truth behind the murder of Federal Judge Sinclair. He said that Raf Hollister ordered the judge to be killed because Judge Sinclair was holding up some water rights Raf had wanted. The Cherokee Kid spoke up saying that everything Red said was true. He also added that Raf had promised to pay him if he would kill Red.

Ben had entered the jail then moved to where the cells were upon hearing voices. He slowly entered the room when Cherokee was speaking then he himself spoke up once Cherokee was done. " Every word that they said is true.......Raf did order the murder of the Federal Judge.......He wanted those water rights so badly that he didn't want to wait. " Ben said as he stood in the doorway. He was jumping sides since he wanted cover his ass. Ben knew that by turning Raf in was the only way he was getting out of this without being killed or serving time in prison.
 
Katie hugged JP back and then they let go of each other and the three men started talking, talking in such a way that she wasnt really sure she was understanding. I barely made any sense to her so all she could do was stand looking puzzled and looking from one man to another as they spoke. Just as the three of them seemed to come to a consensus to tell her... just as she thought she might hear something which sounded sensible, Colorado stepped out from the back room and suggested that they might join him.

She and JP moved through with Mathew and Thomas behind them. The four of them plus both Colorado and Thomas' men listened intently to the tale that Texas Red was telling him. In some ways Katie wasn't surprised to hear what she did but she was annoyed that she hadn't picked up before that Raf was not the benefactor he appeared to be. Hearing Ben's voice made Katie turn quickly. She stared at him. How much was he involved in all of this? Should he be in the dock next to Raf? Katie decided to worry about that later. She would see what Raf said first.

"Looks like we need to make an arrest then." she said as she walked past Ben without looking at him and headed out to find Raf.
 
Raf sat unmoving for a few moments after Ben had left the officer. He opened the chamber of his weapon and saw that just as Ben had said the gun was unloaded. Raf grumbled as he reached down and opened the bottom drawer of his desk. He pulled a box of shells from the drawer then dumped the shells onto his desk. Raf spat out curses at Ben as he reloaded his pistol, then he stood placing the weapon into the front of his pants. Still cursing Ben for betraying him this way, Raf moved out from his office into the saloon. There Raf found six of his men sitting or standing near the bar. Raf walked around behind the bar after calling for his men to join him. He reached down grabbing two double barrel shotguns on the bar. The two men who had already been standing there were told to take these guns and slip around behind Katie's office. Raf told these two to wait for some trouble to start, then they were to break into the jail from the back door and kill Texas Red and The Cherokee Kid. Those men left as the other four move closer to get their orders.

" Hold it Katie! " JP said as he walked out from the cell block following behind her. " Raf ordered the murder of a Federal Judge.....That make arresting him my job. " JP knew that he was pulling rank on Katie, but facts were facts. " That's right Katie.......JP is a Federal law officer.......But honestly neither of you can arrest him yet. " Thomas said as JP turned his head looking at his friend. " No warrant has been issued for his arrest. " Thomas added hoping that everyone would just wait for the Federal Judge to arrive from San Francisco. JP knew that it would take a few days for the Judge to arrive and that was to much time to let pass by. Raf could slip away while they waited on the Judge. JP couldn't let that happen, he knew that he could at least bring Raf in for questioning. Plus JP knew that there were others way he could hold onto Raf. Of course JP knew that he would be stretching the letter of the law, but it wouldn't be the first that this happened. " I'm still bring him in for questioning! " JP growled as he stormed out of Katie's office. " JP always was headstrong. " Mathew said as he walked out of the office and stood on the sidewalk as JP was making his way down the street.

The bartender who worked at Raf's saloon was watching the jail from the front window of the saloon. He saw the US Marshal leaving Katie's office with some fury then he turned and warned Raf. Hearing the warning made Raf leave form behind the bar and join the bartender at the window. Raf pulled his pistol from the front of his pants. He then tucked it into the back of his pants were it would be out of sight. Raf told his men still in the saloon to wait until the Marshal was dead. He then told them to kill the General, Ben, Colorado and Katie if she dared to stop them once the trouble started. Raf didn't know that Father Price had returned to town. This was one of those wild cards that fate had slipped into the final game. Raf walked out of his saloon and stood out in the street. Seeing Raf appear so quickly made JP stop in his tracks. Everyone could see that Raf wasn't carrying a weapon, he never carried one around town. Raf hold his hands out to his sides, but his hands were very low almost down at his sides. " Raf Hollister......You need to come down to Katie's office.......We have some questions to ask you. " JP said with a very stern tone to his voice. " What if I don't go Marshal?..........Are you gonna gun me down in the middle of the street? " Raf said in a tone that sounded like he was mocking JP.

JP stood there almost 20 feet away from Raf. His coat had been pulled back exposing his pistol which hung low on his thigh. JP slowly turned his head looking at the faces of the people who were watching from the sidewalks. By now Thomas, Katie and Ben had joined Mathew out in front of Katie's office. This scene was playing out just a short ways up the street. JP seemed to be lost in the eyes of those looking back at him. Raf saw this and knew that he had the chance to take JP out forever. He wasn't the fastest man with a gun, but that hardly mattered when your target was looking away from you. Raf's right hand slipped behind hid back and his pistol soon appeared. The high sun gleamed off of the metal weapon as Raf pointed it and fired. A loud crack was heard which made many jump, then JP spun around 180 degrees and fell to the ground. A number of women who looked on screamed out as Raf's four men exited his place quickly. They all had their weapons ready, two had riles while the other two had their pistols out. These four men took their places at Raf's side, two on each side. Thomas's hand moved for his own pistol, he stopped when one of Raf's men fired a shot which broke one of the two windows of Katie's office. " Things are gonna get messy General.......But doing something stupid now will only get innocent towns people killed! " Raf warned as an evil grin came over his face. Thomas let out a sigh of disgust then he looked around for Mathew, but Mathew had disappeared. Thomas would just wait for Mathew to play out his hand before acting himself.
 
Katie balked a little at being told that she couldn't arrest Raf... in her own town. She glared at JP and then at Thomas. Federal crime or not, he had also committed state crimes too - not least of all the conspiracy to murder and to steal the water rights. And in the circumstances she didnt need to warrant to arrest him. With the evidence she had from the two men locked up out back and from Ben Tate, she had more than enough. She knew enough though to recognise that she wasnt going to win the arguments here but before she had the chance to say anything JP made it clear that he wasn't prepared to wait for a warrant either. And so as JP left the jailhouse followed shortly thereafter by Thomas, Ben and Mathew, she fell into step behind them and walked outside into the hot sun of near noon.

As Katie stepped out from behind them and stood on the far left of the line, she saw JP come to a sudden stop. Ben was next to her on her right. Then Thomas. Then Mathew. The four of them were in a neat line in front of the jailhouse. Katie heard JP's instruction; heard Raf's reply. And at that moment a metaphorical red flag waved in her head. Suddenly she could see the way this was going to play out. She could see what was about to happen. She opened her mouth to shout a warning as she saw JP looking at the townsfolk who had slowed or stopped to watch what was playing out in the middle of the street. This was the stuff of cheap novels. Everybody was more than familiar with what had happened in Tombstone, Arizona Territory only a few years before and here it was, or at least a poor parody of it, playing out in their very own town. She opened her mouth but was too late. The report of Raf's pistol bounced off the building and seemed to keep on going as she watched JP's body twist and fall, almost in slow motion. She gazed on, frozen, open mouthed and wide eyed. It wasn't until the window pane behind her shattered that the spell was broken. She flinched a little instinctively and looked behind her to the source of the noise, but then quickly forwards again as she heard Raf barking more instructions to Thomas. When she looked back, suddenly she noticed that Raf wasn't alone any more; there were four of them and JP was still lying on the floor. He couldn't be dead. He couldn't. But they needed to get to him. Katie looked right to the General and notices Mathew wasn't there any more. Thomas looked at her and gave a slight shake of his head; a signal to tell her to do nothing? For how long? What could a priest do to change the dynamics of things.
