Stick a Fork in Me
Justice couldn't wait to leave
Something that became
Increasingly difficult to achieve
What with a body shoved
Down a well, he had to stay
Another spell.
Got all he could discern.
There wasn't much to learn.
Really just another cold case.
Dropped the body off at Unger's place.
He was going to leave, finally
And then got approached by CG
"Would you be willing to accompany me
on my trip back to County?"
There was no way he'd say no,
"Just say the word and off we go."
She seemed rather pleased.
She smelled like lemons freshly squeezed,
Caught on a gentle breeze.
What possessed him
He wasn't sure
But next day he stood at her door.
A box of muffins
Her favorite
he did procure.
They talked a little about the trip
Then she told him about Lorne's surprise
It took every ounce of will not to roll his eyes
But his spirits plummeted.
He thought things were finally set
But it would seem Busted Gulch
wasn't finished with him yet.
He chose then to approach Buck
Buck confessed to killing Domain, that was luck
However, Justice knew he wasn't through
there was some convincing to do
as the Judge had heard Lou's confession too.
So, now he was all set and ready to go.
But NO.
CG's horse,
turns up drugged and unconscious
Of course!
What doesn't happen here?
Horses knocked out cold
And people constantly disappear.
While the munching muffin 3Gun
Is lying in a hammock
Wait!
Is that box he gave CG
Filling up his stomach?
Justice approached him immediately.
"I got them from CG."
But when he asked
CG had a different story to tell.
For Justice this didn't settle well.
"The lady says those muffins were stolen
Do I need to add another felon to this trip?
It's already starting to get a little crowded."
3Gun just grinned, his cheeks with muffin swollen.
CG quickly did an about face.
Saying,
"Who I give my muffins to
is for me to decide
and you sir are out of place!"
She really is adorable when she gets flustered.
It's a shame she was the Sheriff's lovebird.
How 3Gun managed to catch her eye,
Just leaves one wondering why?
Justice just said, with a sigh,
"I leave tonight, don't be late.
It will be me, you and an inmate.
As Buchanan is coming along."
"I'll be ready. I borrowed a horse from Rue."
Justice tried to smile but failed to.
"Well, guess that oughta do."
3Gun waved from his hammock
or perhaps he was just brushing off crumbs
Justice couldn't wait to leave
With BG and it's residents
he was done.
