"I know. Sorry, a little too much Philadelphia sarcasm." Ruby responds by pouting. “I said I was sorry,” laughs Jake. </p><p></p><p>Ruby says, “Listen, I forgot to tell you earlier. I visited Job today. His trial is tomorrow morning, 10 am I think. He had me track down Susie Forman, which I did. She was at the Palace Saloon. That Adair is a… well, I don’t like him. Anyway, I’m not sure if they want you there or not, to be a witness. I know you have to work. Kate and I are going.” He replies, "Oh I'm sure that Condon can spare me for a short while. Why don't you have somebody send for me when they need my testimony." </p><p></p><p>Ruby leans in close to Jake and whispers in his ear. “I talked with Mr. Gonzales today, you know, about the stuff we found. That jacket can protect you from bullets and spells. He said he can change the color and wanted to know what you’d like. Not sure how he knew it was for you though.” Jake notices a slight blush on Ruby’s cheek. "Well since he saw me wearing it and told you about it..." Jake gives her a look. "I wouldn't be so surprised." He shakes his head and grins. "Black to match my lucky hat." </p><p></p><p>She continues, “Kate mentioned that Morgan Earp was acting strange around her. I think we should try to get to Tombstone and talk to Tom’s friend Colby Tucker. He might have an idea about what happened. I don’t want her having a run in with him.” Jake says, "Unless I quit my job at the bank, which I might do, Wednesday is my next day off. Let's talk later tonight about how we do that without getting caught." </p><p></p><p>Ruby waits a moment, looks around, then kisses Jake. “Oh, I’ve been wanting to do that all day!” "Sorry to keep you waiting. Really." He says looking her in the eyes. Ruby looks back at him and whispers, “Jake, you are just irresistible.” She gives him another kiss. “And if you quit your job at the bank you don’t have to get up so early.” She winks at him. “Alright, until later then…” and she turns to walk back towards the crowd at the bar.</p><p></p><p>Ruby doesn't get far as the five soldiers march over towards the corner of the room where she and Jake are standing, boxing them in. The Lieutenant looks at Jake and asks "Were you on yesterday afternoon's stagecoach from Tombstone to Promise City?"</p><p></p><p>Jake says "Good evening Lieutenant." With a slight nod to his head. "What's this all about?" "Please answer the question?" the Lieutenant states. “Damn hard to talk your way out of trouble when you don't know what trouble you are in thinks Jake. "Yes." He says steely eyed and poker faced. The Lieutenant then turns to Ruby and asks "And were you with him?" She replies “Yes.” </p><p></p><p>Kate kept one eye on the soldiers as she continued to move around the room. She had met many soldiers before, retired of course, when her father's old comrades from the war would come visit him. These men were clearly here on business. Katherine took a few orders and waited for the soldiers to walk away before approaching the bar. Jake and Ruby were tucked away in a corner with her newspaper. Kate hurried over to the bar as the soldiers approached her friends. She quickly gave Tom her drink orders and added in a whisper, "What's happening?" He replies "Robbery investigation." </p><p></p><p>She answers, “Robbery? What would Jake and Ruby know about a robbery?" But they had disappeared all day on Sunday, and Ruby still hadn't told her what they'd been up to. And Ruby had said the stage had been chased. Kate cursed herself for her peevishness yesterday afternoon. Maybe she'd know what was going on if she'd just swallowed her pride and asked Ruby what they'd been doing.</p><p></p><p>Across the room the Lieutenant then addresses both Ruby and Jake and says "That stage was carrying the United States mail, which makes the attempted robbery a Federal offense. We've already spoken to the drivers and now interviewing the passengers. Tell us exactly what happened and describe the outlaws? And do you know where we could find the other two passengers from that stage?"</p><p></p><p>Ruby can see the tension ease out of Jake's hands, though his face is still unreadable. He says, "Certainly, Lieutentant, always willing to help our men in uniform. I was napping when the stage suddenly lurched into an unexpected turn, when I looked out of the window I saw five riders. They had their faces covered so I wouldn't be able to recognize any. And then the drivers were able to keep them at bay with their rifles and outrun them until we reached the Shaw's ranch. That was pretty much it from in the coach." </p><p></p><p>Jake removes his hat and scratches his head. "You know now that I think back, one of them was wearing a plaid shirt. Just like the one Frank Leslie was wearing when we saw him in Tombstone. Must be a popular weave. Must have been our day for seeing members of the Cowboy gang. Just after seeing him we saw Bill Claibourne and his friend Dell and two others headed down towards the Oriental Saloon. I'm sorry I'm just rambling. I guess I don't have any information you might be able to use. I've seen the other passengers around town, but I'm not certain where they are staying. I didn't ask them."</p><p></p><p>"Thank you sir." He then turns to Ruby and asks "Do you have anything else to add?" She says, "Oh no, I was too frightened to see what was going on.' She bats her eyelashes, "But I am very impressed with your quick investigation." The five soldiers depart and the entire Saloon seems to breathe a collective sigh of relief. Maggie sits down at the piano and begins to belt out some lively tunes to change the atmosphere back. Tony Lucky's table stops to take a break.</p><p></p><p>Kate hurried over to Jake and Ruby. "Is everything alright?" she asked anxiously. He answers, "So far." Jake takes his hat off and runs his hand through his hair followed by a heavy sigh. "For a minute there I thought we were in some real trouble. Lucky for us they just wanted us as witnesses." Jake gives a little shiver then puts his hat back on. "I think I have a few too many things going on." He takes a long deep breath and his composed face with a pleasant smile reappears. He reaches out and puts his hand on Katherine’s shoulder, "I'm OK. Thanks." He gives her a gentle squeeze and turns to Ruby. "You good girl?"</p><p></p><p>She gives him a smile. "I love the way you say that, Jake." Ruby pauses, thinking about Jake's question. Her smile grows wider, "I will be in a minute..." She grabs him and gives him another kiss, ignoring Katherine's embarrassment. "Now, I think it's time for me to sing again..." and she skips off.</p><p></p><p>Kate chuckled as Ruby ran off toward the stage and turned back to Jake. "I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into," she said, raising an eyebrow. "You can catch me up on whatever happened when I give you those riding lessons Wednesday." Katherine returns to delivering drinks. Jake stands there a few moments watching and listening to Ruby. "I don't know." He says to no one. He rubs the back of his neck, smiles and heads back to the poker table.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Jake's table resumes but with a change in players. Calhoun, Peck and Mann have all moved over to Tony's table instead while two of Tony's players, the owners of the Lucky Deuce mine Tobias Priddie and Efron White, have joined Jake's table. Jake quickly deduces from the conversation that the mine isn't doing all that well, with both owners working the mine themselves along with one hired hand. </p><p></p><p>The game for the next forty-five minutes has White and Brower alternating on winning hands, with Boyd then taking one. Cassidy almost wins a hand but Brower has just slightly better cards. Cassidy decides to quit and goes over to the bar to chat with Tom. Ruby takes to the stage again and belts out some of the finest songs that anybody present has ever heard her sing. Nobody leaves the Saloon until after she is finished. Maggie then invites Katherine to play one of her classical pieces. Katherine's playing couldn't hold the crowd the way Ruby's impassioned singing had, but then Katherine wasn't really feeling impassioned herself. The intense happiness of earlier had faded, although she still felt much lighter and much more herself than she had for a long time. </p><p></p><p>Jake's game goes on for another half-hour, with Brower and White finally hitting a dry spell. Of the next six hands, Boyd wins two and Jake wins the other four. Brower and White are both still ahead for the evening and decide to call it quits. Their associates Priddle and Boyd follow their lead and thank Jake for the evening. Jake estimates that he is up $ 220 from where he began the night.</p><p></p><p>Jake wishes his players a good evening, and heads over to the bar. He gives Tom $44 and gets a whiskey. He finds a seat with his back to a wall and a good view of Ruby and takes it. He doesn't talk to anyone while she finishes up. Ruby finishes her singing and curtsies. As she walks past Kate she says, “Let us know when you’re done!” in a cheery voice.</p><p></p><p>She stops at the bar, grabs a drink and heads over to Jake, standing right in front of him. “So, how did your lucky hat do for you tonight?” she says with a grin.</p><p></p><p>He says, "I did very well." Jake is looking up from his chair at Ruby standing over him. "Heh, I'd like to think it wasn't all luck." He pushes his hat back on his head. "I do like this hat, but I don't really believe that is where the luck is coming from." He smiles and takes a sip. "Want to sit for a bit?"</p><p></p><p>"Absolutely," she smiles. Ruby pulls her hair over her shoulder and plops down on Jake's lap, putting her arms around his neck. "Much better I think... Now where do you think your new found luck is coming from then, if not from your lucky hat?" She's giving him a quizzical look but there is mischief in her eyes. "I think from that red haired saloon singer. You've seen her around? They say she's dangerous though." Jake raises an eyebrow. "I just can't decide when I should be more worried though." Ruby turns her head and gives him a funny look. "When she is pulling her gun or when she is smiling." He grabs her around the waist and gives a little tickle. </p><p></p><p>Ruby giggles as Jake tickles her. “Oh that red headed saloon singer. I’d be careful if I was you, I heard she’s big trouble. She likes to have her way with the handsome men…” She pulls his hat further back on his head. “And I think you qualify.” </p><p></p><p>Then very quietly he says, "You still want to go to Tombstone and find Tucker? As much as I hate getting out of bed early, we could take our horses and leave before dawn on Wednesday. Disguise ourselves and go find him. Damn though, I told Katherine I'd go with her on Wednesday. This is all too complicated, I'm not used to having a regular job. You have a better idea?"</p><p></p><p>She says, “Yes, we need to go see Colby Tucker, don’t you think? If we are going to solve this mystery we do. And now that word is out that someone is looking into it we should do it quickly.” Ruby sighs. “I hate getting up early almost as much as I hate getting shot at. But for her…” she glances over to Katherine who is still tidying up tables, “it’s worth it.” Ruby pretends to be thinking. “Um, maybe if I come and rob that bank of yours they’ll think you’re a lousy guard and fire you. What do you think?” She laughs. “We could ask Mr. Gonzales for some help. He did change Nanuet’s appearance and no one recognized him. We don’t want anymore Deadeye sightings, do we? Although I think we’ll be ok if we don’t get his help. We just need to find Tucker so we don’t have to interact with too many other people. Besides, I like my red hair.” </p><p></p><p>“Wednesday morning it is, I guess. Hey, where did you tell Katherine you were going to go with her on Wednesday anyway?” Jake detects a slight bit of jealousy from Ruby. He says, "Let's keep things loose, Wednesday might not work." Jake holds Ruby around the waist with his left hand and has a drink with his right. "Let's decide tomorrow night. Oh, Wednesday with Katherine? I promised her lessons..." </p><p></p><p>Kate helped Maggie clean up while trying to keep her back to Jake and Ruby. Maggie's eyes had nearly popped out of her head when Ruby sat down, and Kate thought Maggie might have put a stop to it if there had been many patrons left in the saloon. Kate tried hard to keep from looking over at what really should have been a private moment. It only took a few minutes to finish cleaning up, and then she had to tell the others she was ready to go. She went behind the bar and got her hat. She kept her eyes down as she pinned it on and said loudly, "I'm ready when you are." Jake comments "... here she comes."</p></blockquote><p></p>
