A Lethal Lady
Chapter 5

-Miss, you'd better answer my questions. You know you're a... Stranger? I know, I know what I am. But I have every right not to say anything about myself, as far as I know, I haven't hur anyone in this town. “The sheriff won't like it if you take that attitude. Foreigners are not welcome in this town. -1 don't owe the sheriff anything. And if you don't like my stay, I can leave without any problem. -You think so? Suddenly the sheriff himself entered the room, his entire presence filing the tiny room. Rouse was staring at him even though she had her hat on, she knew he was watching her too, but in a much more intimidating and defiant way. “Jesey, leave us alone, please. “Tom, I don't think that's right for the young lady," he whispers behind her back. Please, doctor. I'm not going to make a pass at the young lady," he replies as he turns his face to shoulder level. I'm the law in this town, there's no one fairer than me," he adds, but this time with his face fixed in the blonde’ direction. Okay, I'l be outside if you need me. Rouse kept her eyes fixed on the man, she thought that if he was trying to instill fear in her, she would be in for a big surprise. The blonde detailed him from head to toe, the night before she didn't get a good look at him, but that morning she had the opportunity to do so. The sheriff was a very strong man, his features were hard and one could even say a little dangerous. Because he wore his hat so low, he couldn't get a perfect detail of his eyes, but he suspected they were as intimidating as he appeared to be. suddenly, the sheriff takes off his hat, leaving it on a small wooden table. And that's when she noticed the sheriff's gaze perfectly. For a second, her heart began to beat a little faster, altering her senses. That had never happened to her before His eyes were as blue as the sky itself, and his gaze could melt even the iciest mountain in the world. Suddenly, Rouse found himself having irrational thoughts, he shouldn't be thinking about that kind of thing, especially not with an officer the law. He came to his senses, and came to his senses. His obvious manliness could melt the iciest mountain, but not her.... Well? You wil tell me your name. -No need to, as I don't plan to be in this town for long. -1 don't think so, I doubt I'm in any condition to ride. Of course! In case you have coins to buy a healthy horse to ride. Anc judging by how I found her, I doubt she has any. Hell, she didn't have a single penny on her, it was obvious to say, if she was half naked when he found her... how on earth was she planning to get out of that town without any money? Out of it,” Tom grabbed a chair, turned it around and straddled it. The care Jesey and his wife have offered you is worth i miss. Nothing is free here, so, you see, you owe the town a debt. What a bastard! He was charging her for the doctor's care, he was a wretch. She came to town penniless, it was elementar that he knew she had no money, for that reason he would force her to stay. “You can't demand that I stay. 1 can! -1 have the power to do it, it costs me nothing to take you to the police station until we find a solution for your del -Let me talk to the doctor, I can come to an agreement with him and.... “What kind of agreement? I remind you that he is married. Rouse’s cheeks instantly flared, he was disrespecting her. Was he thinking she was a cheap f****g slut? How dare he How dare you offend me like that, you're not supposed to be the authority in this place, how dare you accuse a lady like that? -1 wanted to get up from that bed and slap that wretch. Tom stands up when he sees the blush on the blonde's cheeks. 1 don't know what you're thinking about me, but I suggest you don’t make up theories that are beside the point. 50, will you tell me your name? -He scratched the incipient beard that was beginning to grow. She kept silent, looked away. Sooner or later she had to tell that man what his name was, and now that she was in debt much faster. Damn it, and all because of her carelessness. That couldn't happen to her again. -My name is Rouse LeRoy. Tom looks at her seriously, he wasn't sure she was telling him the truth, but he couldn't be sure she was telling lies either He would have to call her Rouse anyway. -All right, Miss LeRoy. Do you know what town you're in? -No. I don’t. “You're in Coloma, where did you come from? -Why did you come here so badly hurt? 1 don't have to answer anything, I didn’t do anything wrong, Sheriff. -I agree with you. -1 agree with you, but this happens to be my town, and there's been a lot of peace here for a long time. 'm not going to le an outsider bring trouble. Hell, she didn't even have a single cantavo ancima, it was obvious she said so, if she was still naked when he found her... how on earth could she leave the village without a dinaro? Tom takes a chair, turns it around and straddles it. The care that Jasay and his wife have given you is worth it, Miss. Nothing is free here, so, as it goes, you're in debt to the devil. What a bastard! He was charging her for the care of the doctor, for an infaliz. She came to the devil without a cantavo, ara alamantal that he knew that she had no money, for that reason he would force her to quadarsa. “No ma puada axigir qua ma quada. -Puado! “Tango to the pruning to do it, nothing will take her to the police station until we find a solution for her debt. -Let me talk to the doctor, I can come to an agreement with him and.... “What kind of an agreement? The reason that he is married. Rousa’s cracks instantly widened, she was missing the scrape. Was she thinking that she was a damn cheap woman? -As it attracts How could she even think of accusing a lady of such a thing? -I would wash her bed and then I would accuse her of infidelity. 50 we're so principled,” she said, “I don't know what's going on with the blonde’s blushes. 1 don't know what you're thinking about me, but I suggest you don't invent theories that are not relevant. You don't know, will you tell me what her name is? -She scratched the incipient beard that was beginning to crack. She kept silent, looked away. Sooner or later she would have to tell her what her name was, and now that she was walkin much faster. Damned saa, and all because of her dascuido. That couldn't happen to her again. “My name is Rousa LaRoy. Tom looks at her sariamanta, he wasn't sure that he would catch her saying the truth, but he couldn't be sure that she would say mantiras. Anyway, he would have to call her Rousa. Very good, Miss LaRoy. Did she know what kind of a place she was staying in? -No. -I don’t know. 5a ancuantra an Coloma, where did she come from? -Why did she come here in such a bad way? -1 don't have to tell you anything, she didn't do anything wrong, shariff. -1 agree with you, but it turns out that as far as my father is concerned, and there has been a lot of peace since a long tim ago. I am not going to allow that a forastart to bring trouble. Then give me a horse and let me go. You'll never hear from me again. “That's not so easy, Miss LeRoy. The blonde clenches her jaw, that bastard was serious about his role as sheriff. It wouldn't be easy to persuade him. -If it's about the doctor's debt, I can... It's not the doctor you owe, Miss LeRoy. I have paid all the expenses for his wounds, and for that reason, it is to me that I owes it. Rouse’s mouth drops open, he owed the sheriff. He would never let her off until she paid him the last penny, and until sh told him her whole damn past. No doubt about it, she was in a lot of trouble. And she'd done absolutely nothing in town. -And what does he want? You know I have no money, you know I'm trying to take your horse, and you know I have no des to be in this town, so what do you intend to do with me, Sheriff? That was a good question, the truth is that Tom had no idea. At the moment he was looking to find out where this woman came from, and what she was after. But he didn't think about her making the situation so complicated for him, he would have to keep her in town, at least until he knew what or who she was running from. You are hiding many things, and I will not let you go until you tell me where you come from and why you have come to ti town in the conditions in which you arrived. -Let the one who found me tell him. -It was me, I brought her to the village. A boy found her unconscious a few kilometers away and came to me to report his discovery. Well, if it weighs so much on him to have saved me, he should have let me die and become food for the vultures. -Is that what he's looking for? Rouse looks away, on the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, no... anyway, the sheriff's answer was quite arrogant, he implied that he wouldn't have minded leaving her in the middle of the desert to be eaten by foxes. It was all the same, if no one cared, much less that stranger before her. -I'm exhausted, are we done with the questions? Just for today. May I remind you that I will keep an eye on the doctor's house, you may not leave here unless I consent. Is that clear to you, Miss LeRoy? -Leave me alone, sheriff. Tom takes his hat to put it on, takes one last look at the blonde and then leaves the room, meeting the doctor outside wi a worried expression.
