<div align="center"><strong>-Annabel, NCP,  The Saloon – Avalon, finding and warning Hotaru aka The Doc one last time before heading out</strong></div><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://www.amybrown.net/women/cowgirl.jpg)</div><strong> ”Grant don’t care much for anyone or anything. He’d sell his granny for a single credit if he could. You can’t expect him to be reasonable, he just ain’t. But what he is, is dangerous Doc. Real dangerous. You mind what I’m sayin’ you hear me? I don’t wanna see nothing bad come by you. If that means we lose a good doctor then we lose a good doctor. There aint nobody here that would see you hurt or worse just to keep ya kickin’ around”</strong>Annabel replied, keeping her tone at a whisper.  Looking at her watch she sighed and glanced over her shoulder<strong>”you take care doc…I gotta get now. Pa don’t know I left the farm but I had to see ya. You don’t worry none about Lynn you hear? She’s being looked after good by Ma Ma. One good thing came out of this mess. It sure scared the devil out of her.”</strong>With a tired smile, Annabel patted Hotaru gently on the shoulder, squeezing her in a comforting manner before heading out of the bar without another word uttered.  She hoped Hotaru would heed her words and catch the next boat off of this dusty rock. It really was the only way she could stay safe.<br/>
