Cross shakes his head. "I'm no spawn thats for sure. I'm, here to stop whatevers doing this." He takes another sip of whiskey. "I'm no marshal either. I'm a Texas Ranger. The marshalls and I hold no love between us in general but we respect each other. However I do have a friend in the marshals, a relative actually. He sent me the telegram and asked me to look into the situation." *Another sip* "the name's Cross, John Cross."
