“You and yours are protecting a murderer?”Pike growled.
“No, we’re not protecting her, we’re taking her into custody so we can build our case against her and prove her guilt in court,” Grizzly made the distinction.
“Well, I guess she’ll live a few more days then, but you tell that bitch we’re watching her.And one day, we’ll catch up to her.”Pike growled.
“Is that a threat, Mr.Carter?”Grizzly asked.
Pike chuckled.“Of course not, Mr.Lawman, that's a promise.Me and mine are not tools for anyone to use and I am no one’s fucking fool.But me and Sarah?We got unfinished business to take care of and someday we will have alittle talk.”That’s when the call ended.
The whole room went quiet again.
Sarah looked green in the face now as she suddenly tipped over in her chair and flat out fainted.Luckily, she was ziptied to the chair and did not hit the floor.
Boone stepped over and raised her back upright.
With her head leaning back, she suddenly spluttered and came awake.“NO!”she screamed as her head rose up.Then she began to moan and cry.“You have to offer me protection now.Pike just threatened to kill me!”
Grizzly shook his head.“What the ever lovin’ hell did you expect lady?That he was gonna kiss you and tell you todo better next time?He’s an outlaw and you sent him to prison for eight long years.His boys went out and found Avery’s parents and they shot them in their sleep.They would have killed her too if they had known where she was hiding.All because of something you did then put the blame on someone else.”He snorted.“Of course, he’ll be coming after you, woman.I would as well.”
Now Sarah was screaming and thrashing in her chair.“No, no, NO!”
King finally grabbed a towel and marched over to her.He shoved it into her mouth.“Blessed be the silence for it is golden and requires a damn towel.”He growled as he stepped away from her.
Sarah tried to kick him.
King stepped out of her path before her foot could connect with his leg.He looked at his men and motioned between Sarah and Lester.“Get these pathetic losers out of here.Fucking entitled bitch and her gaslighting father.We don’t need to listen to them whine and cry about how the world is turning their backs on them and how they didn’t really do anything wrong..”
“You want us to put them in a cell?”Bullet asked.
King shook his head, “Oh hell no, that would be like pouring gasoline on a fire.The people we got in those cells are the family members they burned all these years.They’re just as pissed at them as Pike is.Just put them in an empty room and have someone in there to watch them.Then have a man outside the door too.I don’t trust either of them to be left alone.”
Bullet and Shilo went to Sarah’s chair and lifted it with her still cuffed and sitting there.Then Shilo warned her, “If you make yourself fall you’ll probably break a bone and we don’t have a doctor willing to look at you.Our Doc is busy taking care of your sister and Train.He might be busy for a while, while you are in pain for being a stupid ass.”He shook his head.“I promise it won’t end well for you, so behave yourself woman.”
Rocket and Ryker picked up Lester’s chair as he remained silent and they moved behind the other chair down the hall.
