Ch22: Plan Of Action

"'Shot in the back by Scarlett Tannen over a matter of $80?'"

Right now, James was looking at the pictures and files about his death about the tombstone from 1985, as well as what will happen to him if they stay here.

Sheriff Wilson now looked at the picture. "'September 7th?' That's this Monday!" He realised.

"Now, I wish I payed that stupid redhead matchstick off." James muttered to himself.

Just then, Andrea stepped out from another part of the shed, now wearing the long 1880's blue dress with the brown belt and little satchel. Her hair was down to her shoulders, brushed out, and pinned back away from her face. "I guess you told him about what happened." Andrea said to Braedey.

"Well, I had to. I couldn't just keep my Dad in the dark about it." Braedey spoke up. "Anyway, we have to focus more on other pressing manners."

"Wow. That's something. You look beautiful in that dress." Tyler said to Andrea.

Andrea rolled her eyes, then she fumed. "I don't mind about the dress, but this corset is way too tight on me." She muttered to herself, trying to adjust her outfit.

"You know something? There's this one thing I've noticed." Tyler commented to the others, while looking at the mirror. "It's about us. I mean, Braedey has Jasmine, while Andrea has me. And yet, Orion doesn't have a girlfriend." He said to them.

"What?" Orion asked in bewilderment, looking away from the machine that James has been working on. "What's this about me?"

"I mean, you haven't found a good girlfriend back in 2015." Tyler said to Orion. "Maybe you can find one here in 1885?" He suggested.

"What?" Orion asked in surprise. "That's way too dangerous."

"Exactly." James spoke up, working on the machine that's inside of the barn. "An involvement in such a social relationship, here in 1885, could result in a disruption of the space-time continuum. As something as serious as that, we cannot take that risk."

"Especially after what we've already been through." Braedey agreed with his father.

"James!" Someone called out from outside the barn. "Hello, James!" The person turned out to be Hubert, the town mayor.

"Hey, Hubert." James walked over to the front doors of the barn. "Hang on a second. I'll be right back. It's the town mayor." He called back, and walked over to talk to Hubert.

"Excuse me, James. You remember last week at the town meeting when you volunteered to meet the new schoolteacher at the station after she came in?" Hubert asked.

"Oh yes, quite so." James replied. "What's the news?"

"Well, we just got word she's comin' in tomorrow. Here are the details for ya." Hubert then handed James a sheet of paper about the schoolteacher. "Thanks for all your help."

"Anytime, Hubert!" James walked off back to the barn, whilst Hubert prepared to leave in his cart buggy.

"Oh, her name's Miss Clayton. Clara Clayton." Hubert called to James, as his buggy pulled away with him onboard.

"She sounds like an interesting person." Braedey commented to James. 'I feel like I've heard that name before, but I can't put my finger on it...'

"That, perhaps." James shrugged.

"Think about that, Orion." Tyler suggested.

"Tyler, it's impossible." Orion interjected back at him. "The idea that I could fall in love at first sight? That's romantic nonsense." The others snickered at this. "There's no rationale."
