Nicole POV
Waves and I were walking through the woods near the Homestead at the start of my shift. Waverly asked. "Does it look familiar?"
"Ah, it's been 20 years since the forest fire." I replied looking at a memorial of the 'forest fire'.
"Black Badge speak for. Massacre committed in Bulshar's name" She said as we slowly walked. "Oh, did you get rid of his ring yet?"
"Uh, no. I'm... I'm still looking for the perfect spot. Somewhere where no one will ever find it." I replied touching the pocket with his ring in.
"Yeah, well, I really hope that's the right thing to do." Waverly said stopping and turning to me.
Hey, how fast do trees grow?" I asked.
"Slow. Why?" She asked me curiously.
"Well, this whole place was burned to the ground. I've seen old photographs. But... these are huge. Almost like nothing ever happened." I replied.
"Well, one thing happened: You survived. I mean, how many six-year-olds would think to jump in a... a canoe to escape a fire?" She said.
"Yeah, but that's just it. I was already down by the river when something attacked the camp. I mean, I heard it. The chaos. The... horrible, agonised screams. But... there was no... fire. There... there wasn't even any smoke. It's all a lie. BBD burned the evidence. So I'm just a loose end." I explained getting a bit upset. "I just got lucky."
"Hey. No. Lucky would be not having...
nightmares for ten years. Look... have you ever thought about talking to your Mum?" She asked.
"Yeah. Mum and Dad got fed the official version, just like everybody else. And anyway you know how her and my Step father treat me when we visited." I explained sharpishly.
"Would it hurt to ask?" Waverly asked.
"Would it hurt to ask your mum about the whole "not-being-an-Earp" thing?" I asked back.
"Wow. Nice deflection, Michael Jordan. Wayne Gretzky?" She replied.
"You really don't do sports, do you?" I asked trying to contain my laugh.
"I'm not... I'm not ready to do visiting my mother in prison, OK?" Waves said annoyed before heading back to the car.
"Waves, wait! Come on." I called after her.
"I see a person!" I heard a male voice from behind me. I turned around and saw him stumble up.
"Robin?" Waverly asked as she walked up to him.
"Waverly!" He said surprised.
"Oh, girl, you got bangs!" He said pointing to her head.
"Oh, yeah." Waves said shaking her head. "Uh, so you're back in town... and a... park ranger?"
"What? Oh, yeah. Mostly." He replied. "What up, Red?"
"Oh, this is, um... Officer Haught. My girlfriend." Waves introduced me.
"OK, any chance you guys could take me to see Sheriff Nedley? I really need to talk to him." Robin asked.
"Uh, where's your truck?" I asked.
"It's somewhere else." He replied.
"OK, c'mon. Let's get you warm." Waverly said.
"OK. Thanks, Waves." He said. They both walked off. I pulled out the ring and chucked it.
