Looking into Tent City
Tasked with fetching info,
a detective I should be,
alas just a stable hand
Riding into town on my jet black horse,
looks I received,
an outsider to them
Can't say I blamed them
Sheriff gave me a description
of how to look out for,
nowhere to be seen in the town pub
Tried to get info but no success,
Figured a couple of days, I would have something to return too
~~~~~
Knight found the subjects in question,
keeping an eye out,
noticing a pattern
Like clockwork,
The Stone couple visited certain houses
A widow residency with two kids,
a boy and girl
Happening every couple of days,
Extremely suspicious,
wanted to confront but couldn't
Have to return with this information
Someone looking familiar stood out,
someone like Brandy, Jake's sister,
looking different than what I've heard,
but I could see the resemblance,
little but it was there.
Knowing how much Jake missed her,
had to tell him that she was alright,
at least I supposed so,
he would be happy to hear about her
Prayed the widow and kids
would be okay and headed back to town
after having visiting the bar,
ready for the days ride back
