He quickly escorts her upstairs, not saying anything else until they are alone. "It's OK Ruby, you don't need to be embarrassed. I know you are worried. We've been in some jams before and so far we've gotten out of every one. We'll figure it out."</p><p></p><p>"I am embarrassed. But thanks Nanuet." Ruby let Nanuet into their room and closes the door. "Make yourself at home." She pulls off her shoes and sits on the bed. "On top of all this, my leg really hurts," she says shaking her head. "And Jake wants me to sing tonight! How can he expect me to do that..." </p><p></p><p>She gets up, grabs a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon, pours Nanuet a drink and sits back down on the bed. "There are some things I have to tell you now. Jake and Chester are innocent, we both know that. But others don't see it or don't want to see it. I'm going to tell you a story and then you decide just how far you think you can go..." Ruby then tells Nanuet the whole Kale story and everything she knows about Danby Jones. Then she gets into Adair, and him almost shooting Jake that night. "I don't know if Adair or the Earps have ANYTHING to do with this, but it's all possible, right? And Nanuet, I can't lose Jake, I just can't. Not now. he's changed my life." </p><p></p><p>Nanuet replies, "And I thought I had been busy since I had been here. OK, nobody is going to lose anybody. We know the truth and that is what is important here. I am not sure if we need to use your information against the Earps or Adair but it is something we can hold in our back pockets. I still think we need to see Jones somehow. That brainless moron is the cause behind this whole mess. I couldn't find him anywhere, I checked the bank, livery and his boarding house."</p><p></p><p>"He's probably in the other jail, that is what Jake thinks anyway. I have a spell I can use... to read thoughts. I can try to find out what he or someone else is thinking. And I'm also good at manipulating people. But if he is already in jail they would see me influencing him, so that isn't the best idea." Ruby lies back on the bed, her eyes starting to close slightly. "It's almost time for dinner, I have to bring it over to Jake and Chester when it's ready. Maybe buy some books for them...what else could we bring?" </p><p></p><p>Nanuet is thinking and is about to say something to Ruby when he notices she has fallen asleep on the bed. He walks over and covers her up with a blanket. Nanuet heads over to Judge Lacey's store and buys a few books, not being able to read common he just grabs what he sees on the shelf. He heads back to the Lucky Lady and offers to help get the place ready for the evening. </p><p></p><p>Back at the Marshall's Office the town's new lawyer, Elihu Upton, arrives and asks to speak to a Mr. Martin. Chester stands up and steps toward the bars. "I'm Chester Martin. Are you my lawyer?" Upton says, "Yes, I am. Elihu Upton, Esquire, at your service." Chester shakes hands with the man. "I don't know what they told you, but I'm in here because they think I plotted to rob a bank with a couple of other fellows. Only one of us was doing the planning. He kept coming up to us to trying to get us to join him. I even warned the Condon's about him, but they ignored me." He asks who the Condons are. Chester replies, "The Condon's?" "They're brothers who own Condon's Bank here in town. I'm, was, their guard." </p><p></p><p>Upton confers with Wyatt Earp about the need to speak to his client out-of-earshot of the other accused prisoner, since they are being defended separately. Wyatt agrees to let Upton take Chester across the street to the Great Western Boarding House to talk. Wyatt says "My brother Warren will go with you. You and your client can talk in the sitting room. Warren will stay in the next room out-of-earshot but keep the door open. I want him watching the both of you the whole time." Earp unlocks Chester's cell and he heads next door with the lawyer. Once inside the sitting room. He begins by explaining that his fee for all services up to and including the trial will be a total of $ 6.00 payable in advance.</p><p></p><p>Once it gets close to dinnertime and Maria has the food ready he heads back upstairs and knocks lightly on Ruby's door. "Huh?" Ruby hears a knock and sits up in bed. Her thoughts come back to her and she sighs, then grimaces from the pain in her leg. She gets out of bed and opens the door. Nanuet tells her dinner is ready and that he will accompany her if she likes. She agrees but asks him to meet her downstairs. She brushes her hair and makes herself presentable. I never did get that bath, maybe after I bring dinner, she thinks. She packs up a quick change of clothes to bring to the bathhouse and makes her way downstairs. </p><p></p><p>Nanuet and Ruby each take a bag and a plate that Maria had prepared and head back to the jail. Wyatt lets them in. Ruby immediately notices that only Wyatt and Jake are present and Chester's cell is empty. Wyatt insists on checking all of the parcels and uses his knife to poke holes in the various food items.</p><p></p><p>Nanuet accompanies Ruby up to the cell, helping her carry the food. He gives her the two books that he picked up, Our Martyred President: Life and Public Services of James A. Garfield by the Honorable George B. Loring and Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier. He says "I think I am going to head out to the ranch and ask Sonoma to come to the Lucky Lady tonight. I think it might be a good idea if she does some of the singing tonight." Jake says, "Ok, Nanuet, thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Yes, we'll probably need Sonoma for a few days." Nanuet leaves, heading back to the El Parador for his horse. </p><p></p><p>Ruby puts a smile on her face and heads over to Jake. "Dinner!" She looks back over her shoulder to Wyatt. "Can't I go in while he eats dinner?" Earp replies, "No Ma'am. You can pull up a chair and sit outside of the bars. The only person allowed in a cell with a prisoner is their attorney."</p><p></p><p>She turns to Jake, "I tried." Looking back to Wyatt, "Can you give him this please..." Ruby points to the dinner and the books. Ruby pulls up a chair. "I don't even know what the books are. I fell asleep and Nanuet went and picked them out. I can bring you something different tomorrow if you like." Jake notices Ruby is having the hardest time looking at him and she keeps looking away.</p><p></p><p>"Thanks." Jake doesn't try and force eye contact. "How is the most desirable woman in the Americas tonight? Well I hope. I don't have much to talk about, not much happens here." Jake shrugs. "Chester's out with his new lawyer. That's about it. I'll probably have enough time to learn some new card tricks." He finishes matter of fact. </p><p></p><p>Ruby finally does look at Jake. "How do you think I am? You're in here." She holds his gaze for a moment before looking away. "I'm sorry," she says quietly as she runs her hands through her hair. "I'm just scared. Maybe you're rubbing off on me too much, but I'm worried this isn't just about the bank." She glances to Wyatt then back to Jake. "I went to Berg, told him some things we know." Ruby starts biting her lip, "In case something happens to us."</p><p></p><p>Jake was watching Wyatt Earp. He could see him easily while looking at Ruby. It seemed to Jake that Wyatt had spent a very long time on the page of the book he was reading. Jake nods his head in Wyatt's direction ever so slightly and then rubs his ear with his hand. "Yes, there is nothing else to do but trust my lawyer at this point." 'And you' Jake mouths to her and winks.</p><p></p><p>Ruby nods back and stays silent while Jake eats. Finally he finishes and Ruby stands, "I hate to leave you but I still need to have a bath before tonight." She still has trouble looking at him. "Please tell Chester that plate and package is for him. I'll bring you some lunch tomorrow, there should be something in there for breakfast. Take care of yourself tonight, ok?" Ruby pauses and Jake can tell Ruby is holding something back. Finally she just smiles and says "Goodnight."</p><p></p><p>Nanuet heads out to the ranch, glad to be out of town for a few minutes and in a more open area. He greets Sonoma and Ginnie and explains that Ruby will need Sonoma's help entertaining tonight and asks if she would be willing to spend the evening at the Lucky Lady and do some singing. She replies, “Actually I'm very ready to take a break from building and none of the animals are due yet and I have missed speaking to people other than Flint. </p><p></p><p>Ginnie looks at the two elfs "Um... going back to town sounds great but I'm really not good at riding a horse. I might be able to make some more money clearing tables again" Sonoma sets Ginnie on a very calm animal and begins to teach the girl how to ride while heading back into town. Nanuet returns to town with Sonoma and Ginnie. He heads over to the Lucky Lady and offers his help with running the place for the evening.</p><p></p><p>Kate asked Dorita for a vase for her flowers, then went upstairs to her room and arranged them. She chose another and stripped its leaves to tuck it into the twisted knot of hair on her neck. She then went into Mr. Gonzalez's rooms for her lessons. Gonzales makes Kate clean up all of the broken glass from the night before. He then spends the next hour teaching her a new spell, Magic Missile, but only after she promises to not throw it at his walls. He explains to her that the spell acts similar to the wand he had loaned her. He says "The spell has two major advantages. It is very fast to cast and it has unerring aim, so unless the recipient has protections against magic it will cause them harm." </p><p></p><p>He then adds "I had an opportunity to cast that spell earlier today. I was out in the desert with your friends and we happened upon a rattlesnake. I was just about cast the spell but your friend Mr. Cook beat me to it, pulling out that gun of his. In hindsight, it might have been better if he had waited for me, as he not only the snake but the leg on my Golden Eagle. Thankfully Nanuet had come along and was able to heal most of the damage."</p><p></p><p>Kate replies, "But she's alright, isn't she? Of course, you wouldn't be here teaching me if she weren't. Poor Ruby, her legs seem to attract bullets. Jake must be so upset, I don't think shooting Ruby will go down well with him. What were you all doing out in the desert anyway?" He replies, “I had asked them to accompany me to help me look around for something that I might need in the future. Pedro and Estaban were busy and you know how Dorita doesn't like for me to go off alone. But after Ruby got hurt we decided to come back to town instead. That's fine, it can wait for another day."</p><p></p><p>Kate says, "You worried her a great deal when you didn't come back from Los Angeles right away. You worried me as well, to be honest." Katherine looked down for a moment before speaking again. "And I'm sorry if I worried you last night, but I think I know why I was so angry. One, with Earp being gone from Tombstone, I'd felt as if there was at least some consequence to what he'd done, even if it was small. I had been trying to content myself with that. When I heard he was back..... it took that away. </p><p></p><p>But he's not the only one I'm angry with. I've been trying to not feel angry at Tom. I've felt so guilty about it, this anger at him. He died, whatever foolishness he committed, he already paid for it. I felt like I didn't have any right to be angry, and it all came out at once. </p><p></p><p>Once I admitted that to myself, it got better. It's certainly not gone, I still want ten minutes with Morgan Earp," she said as her eyes went flat and hard for a moment, "but I don't think I'll have anymore destructive rages. Which I'm also sorry about." He replies, "No need to be sorry. You picked a good place for it. The only consequence to loosing your temper here is that I make you clean up the your own mess afterwards."</p><p></p><p>"I don't quite understand that. I used Prestidigitation to make the glass, it should have disappeared after an hour, shouldn't it? Did it have something to do with my emotional state?" He replies, "No, it has to do with the nature of this place. Any magical item created by a wizard here remains until the wizard wishes it gone. Yes, I know, I could have told you that earlier and saved you the work of using the broom and dustpan, but that was part of the lesson too."</p><p></p><p>Sonoma gets into town and heads for her grandfather's room to let him know she's there and will be for the next few days. Ginnie skips into the kitchen and gets her hand slapped for sticking it into Dorita's batter for the sweets for tonight’s supper. A moment later Kate heard the door open and Sonoma came in. "Sonoma. Thank you for my house," she said walking over to hug her. "I didn't want to say much in front of Conrad, the idea of my moving seems to disturb him."</p><p></p><p>Sonoma replies, “You needed the house so I am building the house but I have to admit it will be nice when you move in. I'm getting a little tired of singing dwarven drinking songs every night and Flint is not the most expansive conversationalist I have ever spent time with. I do know fifty-seven ways to set dynamite now though.”</p></blockquote><p></p>
