Lisa Day on the Web
OH...Goodie you stopped by. I hope you enjoy your visit. This week's excerpt was difficult to figure out what to use. For you first time visitors there are other excerpts on the site covering the opening chapters. So far: Clint has kidnapped his stepbrother George's fiance. After keeping her hidden for a couple of months he seeks his revenge on George. *** Chapter 9 In the late afternoon, as the warmth of the day began to recede, they arrived in Madison. Never having been there before, Samantha turned side to side with wide-eyes trying to see everything. On one side of the street there was a general store, a bank and a saloon. The opposite side held a barber, feed store and another saloon. Further down the block she noticed the marshal’s office, a dress maker and a saloon. Across from that was a dinner hall, blacksmith and another saloon. The next section contained an apothecary shop, a doctor’s office and yet another saloon and a large stable that also sold leather goods. Samantha smirked and sarcastically said, “What no saloon on this end of town?” “Sorry, didn’t hear you, what?” Clint replied as he apparently wasn’t been listening to her. “Never mind. You wouldn’t get it anyway.” At the end of the main street of the town was the railroad station. For a moment Samantha quizzically thought Clint might be headed there, but he turned left instead. ..http://www.gammonsgulch.com/index.html He stopped in front of the town’s hotel and pulled the buckboard to a halt then wrapped the reins twice around the brake handle. The noise of people exiting the hotel drew her attention. Samantha gasped as she recognized one of the men as George. “Hello, George,” Clint said loud enough that everyone there stopped and turned in their direction to see who spoke. George pulled his gun. When he looked up, Clint’s gun was already aimed at him. The man’s eyes swung to Mac on his horse who also had his Colt .45 aimed at him. “What you want, Clint?” George asked re-holstering his weapon while he replaced his hate-filled sneer with an insincere grin. “I think I got som’em of yours.” Clint leaned back, so George could see the woman his large frame had hidden from view. “Samantha!” George moved to go to her, but the sound of two guns being cocked stopped him cold in his tracks. “Uh ugh, let Smithy there fetch the lady. You stay right where I can see ya.” Clint held his weapon steady and waved his free hand toward Smithy as he spoke. George nodded the go ahead to Smithy. The tall skinny man moved quickly down the steps and around the wagon to where Samantha sat. As he began to assist her off the conveyance, she turned and said her last words to Clint. “Bastard, you’ll pay for this.” He retorted in a strange tone, “I’m sure you’re right.” The man led her up the steps toward George. He held out his hand to her. However, just before they could reach each other the man in the wagon announced loudly so all could hear him. ........... *************************************************************************************** So until next time- Ya'll have a safe weekend.Thank you for poppin in.
