[QUOTE="baradtgnome, post: 2131521, member: 2722"] Jake finishes chewing his mouthful of food and washes it down with some of the whiskey coffee followed by a satisfying "Ahhhh." He watches Ruby watch him and decides to speak first. "You know if I hadn't spent all night worried sick that you might be hurt or worse, I'd probably contemplate killing you myself." He has another sip of coffee. "It's hard to stay angry under those circumstances. Not impossible mind you but hard." Just the hint of a smile breaks on one side of his face. "Apparently Eastman showed up at the Lucky Lady last night, drunk out of his mind looking for me. Folks thought they heard him saying something like 'I lost her' or 'She's gone forever' or some other such words. Next thing you know the whole town thinks he's killed Ruby West. The whole blasted town!" Jake takes another sip of coffee. "Now I don't give a rat's tail what the town thinks, except that the whole blasted town is telling me you are dead. That and Adair is the first one to tell me the news." He pauses and look down into his coffee. "So I spent the whole night walking around Promise City looking for you and wondering if I found you whether you would be alive or not." He stops gazing into the coffee and drinks some more. "So how was your night?" [/QUOTE]
