Tombstone.
I walked down the street this morning and waved to the people standing in front of Kate’s. Jade and Nim waved back and I realized I hadn’t seen Jade in a long time. Nim and I were wearing the same shirt and we laughed about that as I woman a man named Aley Winkler.
“Nice to meet you, Sir. New to the area?” I asked as Jade wandered off.
“I am here from one week, and I have a little ranch in the Canyon,” he said with a noticeable Italian accent.
“Sounds nice.”
“Jay is my first horse.”
“Seems all is safe out here,” I smiled and looked around.
“You have doubts, Miss Paige?”
“I’m a detective here. Just doing the rounds to make sure all is well,” I smiled.
“Yep, lots mean, nasty, outlaw types around Mr. Winkler, have to watch out for those,” Nim warned.
“A detective is absolutely necessary in a beautiful city like this,” he smiled.
“It’s a hard job but someone’s gotta do it,” I nodded.
“Yes Miss Nimbrel? I hope I can look after myself without falling into temptations,” Aley looked over at her.
“Well if you do fall, come see me, I have a map,” Nim winked at him and I rolled my eyes.
“Oh certainly, though little, I knew his benevolence, Miss Nimbrel. My Jay horse call me always, she want run. You have a good continuation Miss Sasson and Miss Paige.”
We said goodbye and then I went out for my rounds and then later in the evening I went to the dance at Kate’s and met some new people there. After a while I headed home to update my files.
