So Far...
I waited patiently for the commercial to end to get back to Busted Gulch again. It had become my favorite show but not everyone was in the know.
"If you just tuned in, here's what going on." I heard the voice-over say:
Our Sheriff who was Wild Bill and is now Sheriff Billy Bob Pete is actually none other the Carob Bob, who's checkered past includes running whiskey to Chief DamagedGoods of the KitKat Nation in exchange for their chocolate based alcohol libation. Now that past is trying to catch up to him.
After the shoot out in the Busted Gulch Saloon he now has in custody, the mysterious Junkyard Jimmy, who knows the sheriff well. Will Jimmy recognize him? Will he get to say what he knows? Only time will tell.
Three Gun Wild Bill Dakota Kid...Jr. Don't forget that name! Learned of Spent Shell, Carob Bob's partner, is a bit insane. A stone cold killer who wants his partner Carob dead. Three Gun came back to town you see, to deliver a limerick to Ruechari, but found O'Boyle instead who held a gun to his head.
O'Boyle let him go. He had news to tell to his boss Spent Shell. Who's so crazy he thinks he can rhyme, but is really bad at it most of the time. He wouldn't know a limerick from a pun, and just blew off O'Boyle's news about Three Gun.
Highride Ali has still been unseen perhaps that's who Old Doc heard scream?
Crazygoose is still one the loose, who know what stories she's tellin?
Old Doc Vale has a tale he has yet to tell, of what he knows about Spent Shell. And why does he think Carob Bob is dead? Is something he hasn't quite said. We hope to hear more from him soon. If he returns to the saloon.
Doc fixed Ruechari up good and right. Then she went riding off into the night to see if she could find Lean who disappeared from the scene.
Lean's brother has the cocopox something no medicine can cure but Ruechari knew what he needed to make him whole once more.
Ruechari did not get far before she found Lean's Six Star. Lean was caught spying on two men who were looking for Carob Bob again.
Lean was knocked out cold by one or the other, Ruechari knew it was probably her brother.
She found out her Dad Chief DamagedGoods had gone into hiding. She told her brother to take Lean and go riding, to find their Dad the Chief so Lean's brother could get some relief.
Now she's headed back to town. Ruechari had a message she didn't send.
A warning to Carob Bob about Spent Shell from her Dad, Carob's friend.
Will she get there in time? Will we hear another rhyme? Will someone die today or will someone get away? Perhaps someone will be double-crossed?
Stay Tuned or you'll quickly you'll get lost?
