They had a nice time talking and really getting to know each other. Opening up about their pasts helped to clear the air and make it clear that there was nothing to stand in the way of them having a nice relationship. Him being there to get the Ranger Station going and waiting on other Rangers to be sent, meant he would be there for a while for sure. He didn't have to worry about a local Sheriff as the Mayor had decided that the Jed and Billy were enough for now to handle things in the Town, even though McBey was trying to have someone made Sheriff, one that would support him. So he could see their relationship blooming quite nicely. Now if only Rutherford would finally get the hint and leave, things would be ideal. The weekend passed with of course Jed escorting Olivia and the Girls to the Church. The Pastor was happy to see them there and he had gotten the word about the courtship and was looking forward to one day having a wedding. The next few days were routine, him making sure things were kept peaceful in the town and surrounding area. The train from the north finally came in with the money for the Ranger Station, his pay, as well as Billy's. The money Jed took to the bank and he opened an account for the Texas Rangers. It was a nice sum of money and it also included the bounty that had been on Red's head. This he put into an account for himself. But also on the train was another Dandy from the East. His clothes told the story on that account, and then he over heard the man ask if the Train Station Clerk knew of Olivia. He clossed his eyes and shook his head. It seemed they had another coming to seek her out.<br/><br/>But also from the north came the Texas Kid. He rode into town and stopped in at the saloon. There Rutherford had been hanging out trying to make himself look like a business man seeking to get into the Cattle buisness. The Kid, could tell who he was by his clothes. They sat at a table in the back and talked. To most of those in the saloon, the Kid was just another stranger passing through. The locals never really paid attention to the wanted posters. Rutherford had made it a point to talk to several of the Ranch Hands about cattle as if he was indeed interested in starting some sort of buisness, more of a cover for when he would meet the Kid. Rutherford paid the Kid the money he had offered to take Jed on and kill him. Of course the Kid thought he was the fastest gun in the West, as none had been able to best him in a gun fight. But not everyone was good with a gun, it just bolstered his ego.<br/><br/>It was one of the girls in the saloon that recgonized the Kid and she went off to tell Jed. He was at the Bank depositing the money when she came in, "Ranger, there is a man in town. Seen the wanted poster on him, he is called the Texas Kid. He is talking to that fellow Rutherford."<br/><br/>Jed sighed, as he realized just what Rutherford had been up to. Hiring a killer to try and take him out. The man was definently out for blood now. He would have to deal with Rutherford after he took care of the Kid. He sent the woman back to the saloon, and left the bank. Of course word from the other patrons in the bank spread about another gunfight coming, a head of Jed leaving the bank. People were making their way off the street into the shops and hotel and the like to watch from the windows. Jed calmly walked down the street. Word also reached the school house and Olivia. In no time at all the main street was clear and all that could be heard was the now and then banging of the signs on the stores in the breeze. Even those in the saloon got the word and eyes turned in the Kids direction. He got up and moved to the saloon doors and looked out. He had a smile on his lips as he felt he would have another notch on his gun handle soon. Jed continued to slowly walk down the middle of the street, chewing one end of a lit cigerllo at the corner of his mouth. He stopped at a certain point, undid the leather loop that held the gun in the holster and waited. The Kid walked out of the saloon and he to slowly moved down the street until there was about fourty paces between them.<br/><br/>Rutherford was watching from one of the windows and eager look on his face. Soon he thought, Jed would be dead and he would be able to console Olivia and convince her to move back to Boston away from the horrors of the West. There he could properly set things in motion to wed and bed her and get her fortune and have her as a trophy to show everyone.<br/><br/>Jed waited for the Kid. When he stopped fourty paces away, he shook his head. "Your under arrest Kid, for murder. " The kid laughed and Jed knew the man was evidently not wanting to be arrested and go to jail. He removed the cigarello from his mouth with his left hand and dropped it to the ground. He waited for the Kid to make the first move. The Kid was fast and had his gun out of the holster but Jed was just that much faster and fired. But he didn't kill the Kid. He shot the gun from his hand before he could rise it up enough to fire. The Kid grabbed his gun hand with his other and looked at Jeb with surprise on his face. Jed moved forward gun in hand pointed at the Kid. "Like I said you are under arrest. Producing pair of cuffs, he tossed them to the Kid and told him to put them on. Billy who had been watching looked on with awe. He had never seen anyone was that fast. He came out and took charge of the Kid, as Jed headed for the saloon and Rutherford.<br/><br/>Rutherford was horrified. The man he had paid a hefty sum to had failed and was being taken into custody, and Jed was headed his way. He didn't know what to do. It was evident that Jed knew he had hired the man and was coming for him. He was backed into a corner now. Those in the Tavern were not about to let him slip out the back and had it blocked. He was trapped and when Jed entered the backed against the back wall pleading for his life. "Don't kill me, please don't kill me." he was terrified. Jed just moved to him with his gun pointed at him and pushed him before him out the door and into the street then down it to the Jail House. He would have an adjoining cell with the Kid. When he got there, Billy whiseled. "Jed the bounty on the Kid is quite substancial. Jed just shugged his shoulders as he put Rutherford in a cell.<br/><br/>"Well half will be going to Miss Julia who came and told me he was in town. She deserves it." Jed told Billy. Still his share would go to the bank account and be used later on.
