Thread: The Untamed: Revisited (Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

The people of Tucson normally saw those riding in with J.P., either tied up, or in chains. It was very strange too see someone riding in with him in such a friendly manner. Plus, this was a woman who dressed like men do. She was also wearing a pistol, hung low on her hip. This told those looking on that the unknown woman knew how to use her weapon. Jake was inside the office sweeping the floor when J.P. came in. Well........It's about damn time you came back.......I was starting to think you'd retired. Jake said as J.P. moved to his desk. He slowly sat down while saying that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. It was then that Katie came into the office. Jake looked Katie up and down. The shock on his face was clear. Bouncing buffalo chips!.......You're a woman! Jake hadn't seem many women who dressed the way this one did. The ones that did weren't known for being ladies. J.P. remarked that no one could say Jake was blind. He then introduced Jake to Katie. The older man came up and shook Katie's hand. His eyes moved over her body as a smile grew on his face. She may not dress like a typical woman, but there was no denying she was all woman under those clothes. J.P. asked Jake to get Katie come coffee. He then asked what had been going on since he'd been away. Jake filled J.P. in on everything that took place while J.P. was traveling. He spoke of small things like holdups, saloon fights, certain people who died during that time and the addition of a female doctor. Jake said she came into town after J.P. left. He added that she was a damn fine looking woman. While Jake was speaking, J.P. was fumbling through his desk. He finally found what he was looking for. J.P. said that they would need to introduce themselves too the new doctor and introduce Katie to the old one. He moved around the desk and pinned a Deputy United States Marshal's badge onto Katie's shirt. Jake started to laugh, thinking this was a joke. J.P. never had a deputy in his life and now he was pinning a badge on a woman. This just couldn't be real. J.P. then glared at Jake until his laughter stopped. Jake then understood J.P. wasn't kidding. He cleared his throat and welcomed the new Deputy US Marshal. Katie was then given a tour. She was shown the cell area. It held six large cells, each able to hold two prisoners. Katie was shown the two gun racks. One held four Winchester Riles and two Henry Riles. The other rack had four sawed off 12 gauge shotguns and two Sharps Buffalo Rifles. Katie's desk was facing the door from the main street. She was just right of the door which led into the cells. Behind her was the board which held wanted posters. J.P.'s desk was to the left of Katie's if she was sitting at her desk. His desk faced the far wall. Behind J.P.'s desk was a map of the current United States. After finishing her coffee, Katie spoke of taking care of a few things. J.P. knew what she meant and he found out that was using the same hotel which J.P. stayed in. He suggested that she get a room close to his. Katie then left to walk around town and take care of business. A short time after Katie left, Tucson's town marshal, Hank Donner and the county sheriff, Pat Cronin came in after hearing J.P. was back. They heard a rumor that J.P. brought a woman with him. Both men thought she must be a prisoner of some type. Once everyone sat down and had some coffee, J.P. explained who Katie was. The two lawmen were surprised too hear that Katie had been the town marshal of Victorville. Neither of the men could doubt that she must be good if J.P. wanted her as a deputy. It was odd that J.P. who never had a deputy before now would want one. Marshal Donner Sheriff Cronin hadn't seen Katie yet. J.P. excused himself saying that he needed to go see Judge Parker at the courthouse. He said Donner Cronin could stay and meet Katie from themselves. J.P. spoke of Katie being something very special. After J.P. left, Jake remarked that Katie was something to look at. He spoke while wearing a grin on his face. This only made the two lawmen more curious as to what Katie looked like.
