Petra Predicament
Petra wandered the deck
Thinking what the heck
She knew she just couldn't leave
How to do this, how to achieve...
Shadow still got nowhere
Petra breathed in some fresh air
Missy's energy was needed
for Denver's care
She wanted someone to pay
For what happened that day
She knew she wouldn't get far
With the way they all are
Her brothers would be on her case
Still, she felt eager to leave this place
Conan was supposed to be on the trail
Brody's been by to question every guy
And every gal.
Not that he'd got anywhere here
Whoever did this best disappear
Or she knew their days were numbered
The moment the family
was no long encumbered
The more time that went by
The more she feared he might die
Talulah hasn't left her room
She still wondered but knows her father
Would not wish her to presume.
Yet Talulah was the one
That who last owned a buffalo gun
She claimed in the river it was thrown
Petra let out a frustrated groan.
A gentle hand touched her shoulder
Causing her thoughts to smolder
He turned her around in his arms
Wanting to keep her safe from harm
"Buck, I don't want him to die
I just found my true family... why?
Why does this have to be
He has too many enemies."
"Shhh," Buck did soothe
He knew she spoke the truth
Buck didn't envy the Sheriff
He held her close
the one he cherished.
"Buck, can you do something for me?"
"Anything whatever it be."
"I need to find who did this to him."
Buck wasn't sure he could,
his look was grim.
"I'll do what I can."
"Stick close to Conan."
"You think he has a lead?"
"I think if he does
whoever it is
He'll make him bleed.
I want to go
but I must stick close
If I try to leave, they'd know."
"You have my word."
Her vision blurred.
Now that he concurred.
Though she'd not shed a tear.
"I'm glad you're here."
"I promised I would not leave
Denver will pull through
You must believe."
"Just knowing you're out there
where I want to be
Will be a great comfort
To me."
Buck held her close
He kissed her lips.
He hoped up his sleeve
He had a few more tricks.
