Entering Armadillo the rain had thankfully stopped as the two hitched their horse to the post outside the Saloon were they had decided to get something to eat and drink before finding and talking to Irish

"I'll meet you inside I'm gonna go see if daddy wants to join us." Dixie told John and didn't give him a minute to respond as she turn and made her way down the road to the jailhouse and John entered the building alone and secured them a table before purchasing the top shelf whiskey bottle

Dixie entered the jailhouse and quickly found her father with his feet rested on his desk

"Daddy!" She said excitedly getting the man's attention but it was to late as she threw herself across his lap holding him close the marshal laughed and hugged her back just as hard

"What a surprise my dear." He spoke as he wasn't expecting her for days to weeks

"John got a lead for someone to help with the attack on Fort Mercer that brought us back, we where gonna get some grump before finding said man and I was gonna invite you along." She explained to her father

"I'd suggest you ask John that question" she answered

"What do y'all want to eat?" John questioned the two

"Just steak with extra vegetables please." Dixie answered

"Steak, hold the vegetables" Leigh answered

"So, John who's the person y'all came back to Armadillo to talk to?" The marshal asked as he sipped his whiskey the men's plates cleared as Dixie started to finish her remaining vegetables

"A fella by the name of Irish, Dickens told me to talk to him about weaponry" John answered and Dixie's watched from the corner of her eye as her father head rolled to her
