"Well that is an interesting story about the Blacksmith. Bad timing, bad luck, wrong place right time, whatever you want to call it. I can help you hide hear for a little while, but you know you can't stay here too long. I have a friend who may be able to help with your appearance. Any other ideas?” They do not. Caine says that they can talk further after he has had a chance to speak to his human cousin. </p><p></p><p>Nanuet next sees the pair mid-afternoon on Tuesday March 14th. Caine says that he had a chance to speak to Job and that he has another cousin who he was unaware of, namely Alison Caine. Five years earlier Kwai Chang Caine had met her full-brother Danny, who did not mention Alison at the time. Caine is very anxious to find her and asks Nanuet "Job said that you and your friend Kate were the last ones to see her. Do you know where she might have gone to?"</p><p></p><p>Nanuet thinks hard on the name. "Alison Caine you say? The name does ring a bell. Ahhh yes.." Nanuet tells them about Alison and Black Isaac O'Dell. About how they helped him settle his revenge and then shortly after that took off together. "She came back for a little while but I haven't heard from her in months. Maybe she headed back towards Galeyville. Might still be running with that O'Dell fella."</p><p></p><p>Kwai Chang Caine and Chopido indicate that they may head off to this Galeyville in search of her. They say they will stop by the Lucky Lady early this evening to see if Cousin Job or any of the others there want to join them. Nanuet exclaims, You can count me in. Maybe I can find another body or two. Heard Galeyville is pretty rough. Best if we leave the women home for this one." </p><p></p><p>Nanuet heads around trying to find Chester. He finds out that he went out to the mines so he leaves messages at the El Parador and Lucky Lady that he would like to meet up with him later that day at the latter. He also figures this might be a good chance to see where the new guy’s loyalties lie. "We'll see what that Luc guy is made up of after all."</p><p></p><p>Nanuet has nothing to do except wait for Chester to come back to town and for Luc to show up for work.

She walks in with purpose and up to the counter. "I'd like to close my account please." While he is waiting Nanuet also decides that taking his money out of the bank is a good idea. He heads there and see Ruby at the counter. "Good afternoon Miss Ruby. I see you had the same idea that I did? I want to talk to you for a moment when you get the chance." After they finish their business at the bank the two head back to the Lucky Lady. </p><p></p><p>"Miss Ruby, I was wondering who else that we know has accounts at the Condon's bank? Do your partners at the Lucky Lady have accounts there and where does the business do it's banking? I think we can convince quite a few people to close their accounts and move them to the other bank. Do you want to do that or just let things go?" Ruby laughs. "I've already thought of that. I'm not sure what bank we use but I will find out." </p><p></p><p>Nanuet says, "Also, this new guy Luc. I am not so sure about him. I know he skipped out on work the other night, and you saw what happened his first night between him and me. Well, I want to give him another chance. I am heading to Galeyville soon with my cousin. If you will give Luc some time off then I was figuring on taking him with us. He looks like he knows how to use a gun and from what I hear Galeyville is a rough place. We could use another body on our side and give me a better chance to feel him out."</p><p></p><p>Ruby starts twirling her hair around her finger and looking up. "I think it should be fine, if you take him that is. I think Jeff can handle the door. I really hired Luc to help with the new construction." Ruby looks at Nanuet. "So sure, take him with you. I trust you and you can let me know what you think of him when you get back. I did tell him it was a try out. But why are you going to Galeyville?"</p><p></p><p>"Do you remember Alison Caine? She is Kwai Chang Caine's cousin and he wants to meet her. Last I heard of her she was headed to Galeyville. I haven't had any adventure in a while and would like to spend some more time with my cousin so I figured I would go with them. Not sure when we are leaving but I figure soon, maybe first light tomorrow."</p><p></p><p>Ruby exclaims, "Yes, I remember Alison. It's nice of you to take them to Galeyville looking for her. But Nanuet, I hope you'll be careful, a lot of the Cowboy Gang is rumored to be there. </p><p>Ruby sighs. "Everyone is leaving, off on adventures and for once I have to stay behind. I hate staying behind you know," she looks at Nanuet with a small pout. "But I guess it was going to happen eventually. When will you be back? Any idea?"</p><p></p><p>Nanuet smiles and blushes. "Thank you for being concerned for my safety. I will be careful. Hopefully I won't run into any of the Cowboy Gang there. I am not sure when we will be back. I think the plans will become more defined tonight when I speak with Chopido and Caine again." </p><p>Nanuet walks Ruby back to the Lucky Lady and helps get the place set up for the evening’s business while waiting for Chester or Luc to arrive.</p><p></p><p>Ruby helps with various jobs around the saloon, always dropping what she is doing to socialize with the customers. When Eduardo comes in for dinner she indicates to Niles that his dinner and drinks are on the house. She sits and chats with him for a while, waiting for Katherine to show up.</p><p></p><p>After Ruby left the stables, Kate and Ginnie got some clean clothes and went over to Gilson's bathhouse. Kate had a long soak and carefully washed her hair before climbing out and dressing in the plain skirt and blouse. She and Ginnie returned to the El Parador and had a light lunch before Kate left Ginnie to her own devices and went to help Ruby dress. Kate walked into the Lucky Lady and approached the table where Ruby chatting with a half-elf. "I'm sorry to interrupt, Ruby. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."</p><p></p><p>"Oh no, Kate, it's fine. This is Eduardo Rodiquez, our new Deputy Marshal. I asked him to come by for dinner. Excuse me please, Mr. Rodiquez, I have a prior engagement tonight. I hope you enjoy your meal!" </p><p></p><p>Ruby and Kate head upstairs. "I was thinking my red dress, it's one of my nicer ones. What do you think?" Kate smiles and Ruby starts getting dressed. "I picked out some real jewelry to wear tonight. Usually I don't bother with it, but this is what it's for right?" She puts on matching ruby necklace, earrings and bracelet. "Don't even remember who gave it to me," Ruby shrugged. Kate helps put her jewelry on and then works with her hair, which is a considerable task. Ruby stares at herself in the mirror for a few moments before approving how she looks. "Ready!" They head back to the El Parador to get Kate dressed.</p><p></p><p>Chester, Lawson, and Barletta arrive at the smelters without incident. Chester helps the two miners bring the ore into the building. After that he walks his horse to the stables at the El Parador, and brushes it down. The he enters the Lucky Lady. "Good afternoon, Nanuet. How've you been?” He replies, “OK, I guess. Do you want to come to Galeyville with us? Me, Chopido, and Caine are going there to look for Allison Caine, his cousin. I was waiting for you to come back." Chester says, "Sure. Let me sit for a second. I just came back from the mine."</p><p></p><p>Nanuet replies, "That's fine, I don't think we are going just yet. I am waiting for Chopido and Caine to come back and then we can make our plans. I have just heard Galeyville could be a rough place so I figured the more the merrier. Ruby says the Cowboy gang might have some numbers there too so we need to be careful. I think I might invite Luc to come with us, see if he can put his money where his mouth is."</p><p></p><p>Chester says, "Good idea. Seems like you don't like that Luc very much." Nanuet answers, "Well he has a big chip on his shoulder, that is for sure. Drinking on the job, not paying attention to his job and giving me a lot of lip, then he didn't show up the next night at all. But Ruby seems to like him, so I figured I would give him another chance. She is right, we have enough enemies around here already." </p><p></p><p>Chester comments, "Drinking on the job. That's not good at all. I hope Ruby's right about him. He might give the place a bad name." " Nobody I know I hope," Luc said as he walked up to the two chatting men, "Can't have no bad element's hangin 'round here." Nanuet exclaims, "Hey Luc, your ears must be ringing we were just talking about you. Look, you and I got off on the wrong foot. I want to try again, wipe the slate clean and start over." </p><p></p><p>Nanuet reaches out his hand and offers it to Luc. "What do you say to a little adventure? My cousin and his friend are in town. They need to visit Galeyville to find somebody. Galeyville can be a rough place from what we have heard and there may be some people there who don't like us. My thinking is that we have strength in numbers. You, me, Chester here and my cousin and Caine at least. I already talked to Ruby and she said you could have the time off. What do you think?"</p><p></p><p>Luc eyes Nanuet suspiciously as he takes the cigar out of his mouth. Everyone in this town seems to have split personality. One minute they want to kill you and the next they like you. Luc smiles slightly and shakes his head as he extends his hand. " Might as well go along. I could use a little bit of excitement. Seems all you folks like to do 'round here is gab and point fingers. I think it'll be good to get out of here for a while." Luc shakes Nanuet's hand and turns around and walks away. As he is walking he says without turning " Come get me when you're ready to leave. I'll be around"</p><p></p><p>Two hours later....Chopido and Caine arrive at the El Parador barn and get their horses ready for the twelve-mile ride east to Galeyville. They wait for Nanuet, Luc and Chester to arrive. "Chester, I think it is time for us to head over to the El Parador now and meet my cousin and Caine. Hopefully we will see Luc on the way." </p><p></p><p>The two head to the El Parador ready for adventure. They find Luc coming out of one of the saloons on their way. The three arrive at the stables and greet Caine and Chopido. "Are we ready? Let's try and make it there while there is still light." As Chester checks his saddle, he says, "Ready as I'll ever be. Do you know where to look first, or are we playing it by ear? And do you expect any trouble? I've got my rifle with me just in case."</p><p></p><p>Nanuet comments, "Good idea bringing the rifle. Been about two months since I have heard anything about Alison best I can recall so I guess we will be playing it by ear. I never expect trouble, but it seems to find us doesn't it?"</p><p></p><p>The five men ride out of town to the south and then east. They travel for the first few miles to the west of the Chirichaua Mountains, the road then travels east and through the pass between the mountains. None of them can see any Apache warriors but all five sense that they are being watched. Nanuet comments, "Just keep to the trail and we should be fine. Hopefully they recognize me and just let us pass peacefully."</p><p></p><p>Chester asks Chopido, "So, how did you know Nanuet was in Promise City?" Chopido replies, "He told some family this was where he was coming. He was on a quest to find the man who killed most of our family." </p><p></p><p>They continue on through the mountains. They do not see any Apache. With the mountains now to the west they can no longer see the setting sun, but there is still enough light in the sky for them to make out the distant town another mile off. Nanuet comments, “That looks like where we want to be boys." Nanuet picks up the pace a bit but makes sure his rifle is easily accessible should there be any immediate trouble. "Actually, maybe Chester should head up in front, in case they have a problem with elves?" Chester says, "Good point. I'll go on ahead."</p></blockquote><p></p>
