Chapter 7 - Chapter seven

Once Rex is lead inside again inside again he get spot over to table with a window Evelyn disappears for a bit and brings back some breakfast,

She made who sits across from him? The breakfast is a simple eggs.

Bacon and toast but, Rex had never seen them so colorful or scrambled Like this.

Rex finally breaks the silence:

Thank you miss Sunshire um this town's pretty nice. Does everybody in the north live like this? And oh let me pay you for this too.

Evelyn chuckles softly and says: please you owe us nothing. This is on us. A show of appreciation and you speak of this place as if it was some Grand town, You are very welcome here sheriff you don't need to be so modest around us, after all you did save many of our town folk on that dangerous train accident She chuckles kindly.

This town is actually one of the most modest towns in northern Colorado it' that's called Railway springs.

But I think the best thing we have here is the rich natural resources around. We have lot of access to clean water rich and natural land for farming and most importantly community, Thanks to the railway going through we have a lot of

Travelers coming through our town has access to more travel than most other towns thanks to our railway station on the edge of town.

Rex spoke with accepting and curiosity: I see.. and what about Raymond, the man in the black hat I was pursuing what happened to him

Evelyn replied: Oh, him He's all tucked away in our county jail. After all that damage he did to do our train.

Rex says: good, I thought for a moment. I had lost him.. and uh allow me to apologize on his behalf. For that train incident, maybe if I wasn't pursuing him so tightly. He wouldn't have thought to put you all in danger. Just to avoid me.. he is a pretty big part of what I've been hunting I'm glad he's still around. I have a lot of questions that needs to answering After that, I need to find a way to get back home.

I can't be around here too much longer because I may start not wanting to leave.

The scenery.. The people. He looks across at Evelyn as she eats a spoonful of scrambled eggs very delicately He's used to the women of his town wolfing down their meals as if it were an eating contest.

Evelyn pauses mid bite: Oh you're planning on leaving I see.. I was hoping you'd stay for a while At least. You see our town it may look all glamorous from the outside But… she recently due to our success in the town with crops and funds, we've been receiving a lot of dangerous folk and rough people around,

Especially since it's so close to the railway bad people can steal and get away pretty easily.

Our town department, our last local sheriff he went pretty ill recently and has never really gotten back to his old self is probably about to retire. And I don't know, something's feels off about the newer and younger deputies, they never really have the people's best interest in mind dreaming This is more of a job than a duty soon. So I thought, since maybe you're here, maybe you could keep an eye on things around here until you're your investigation is done. If that wouldn't be so much to ask?

Rex pauses then finally says it's the least I can do… Since you guys have shown me such nice hospitality, I'll do just that.

I'll keep an eye on things around here.

Make sure the piece is kept until my investigation is over, Then I am afraid I must return home, but in the meantime I'd appreciate it. If a certain young lady could show me around this place? Uh What do they call it out here a grand tour or something?

He chuckles. So do we have a deal? You show me around and host me for a couple weeks. In return I look after the town until my jobs done here?

Evelyn smiles brightly with a slight blush. Yes, yes, yes, of course. Welcome to railway springs Rex wulf.

Rex says with a smile it's actually ohh, you got it right on the first time huh well,

Im at your service miss Sunshire. I look forward to getting to know you better.

They both share a rather peaceful moment. Simply chatting about their differences where they lived, few facts about the towns growing a bit closer, the atmosphere between them no tension remaining just chatting like new friends with high possibility of something more between them. The scene shifts to them sitting on a the porch outside watching the sunrise as they spoke and got to know each other.

Rex begin speaking to her, wow, so your father was a soldier, and your mother was a cattle Wrangler that's quite a family you have there.

Evelyn responds, yes but it's just me and my mom right now my father never made it back from the Civil War we received his remains about years after his death in the war, but the people who delivered him back to us. Told us He saved over 23 lives before he died they called him a hero during his time. Even though my father was gone, my mother's still stuck to his love and never married another. I'm proud of her.

Rex replies attempting to comfort.

Sorry to hear that about your pa.

He sounds like a really good man I'm sure you gave the enemy hell before he took his final breath. And your ma, she sounds like a tough woman people I care will pull through with their head Held high.

Your family's very different from mine much like youI lost my mother at a young age and after that, my father.. Let's just say the west finally broke him he went off the deep end. And I've never really told anybody this story. But in this small time, he was a part of my life. Still the final night I saw him. He ended up so messed up in the head that he dumped a pot of boiling water on my face. That's where this scar came from and my final words to him were, I hate him, I never even got the chance to forgiven, because after that day, he disappeared, he left a note. And I never saw him again after that. Now I try every day

To be like the good man, my father used to be to be better than what he became. But this reputation of mine I have. Let's just say it's hard to be the good guy I always wanted to be.

He looks back to see Evelyn in Tears and he immediately begins apologizing to her hoping he didn't make her cry she just responds with a soft smile. As the golden light of the sunrise rests upon her face, she says. Some couple we are huh ha ha ha
