Busted Gulch vol 1

goodbye sheriff (Sheriff Billy Bob Pete)

I watched Ruechari walk back in the door

As I pulled myself off the jailhouse floor

In a flash, like lightening, i drew my gun

in anticipation of what will come

"I'd drop that piece, if I were you

unless you want this life all through."

Ruechari looked at me kind of strange

"You're talking different, your voice has changed."

"I have to go," I said aloud

"I have to get away from this crowd."

I put my gun back in my belt

A bump on my head was what i felt

"You really didn't need to hit me you know

I was going to let you go."

You were using me as a shield," she yelled.

"How the hell could I tell."

"Fair enough," I turned and said.

"Stop right there, or you'll be dead."

I headed to the backroom door

I heard a click and turned once more

Ruechari's gun aimed at my head

A look in her eye that wanted me dead

"You won't pull the trigger, my dear

Of this I have absolutely no fear."

"And why is that," she sneered at me.

"Give me one good reason to let you be."

I smiled a smile, and turned away

"We will meet another day.

But if you're wondering, who I am

I can tell you I am no ordinary man.

Just talk to the Chief, the man you know

As your father, though I tell you so ..."

I turned back to her, she lowered her gun

"Who are you? Why do you run?"

"There is someone I need to see

If I am ever to truly be free.

But talk to the chief and pass this on

It's time the truth come moving along."

"Who are you?" Ruechari pleaded to me

I turned again and started to flee

"In time, my dear, the truth you will know

But I will tell you one thing is so

You are certainly someone's daughter

But the Chief.

Is not your father"
