MYSTIC TRAILS (5)
Finding Father
Ext: Tomei walking down main street with hands extended.
Narrator
"Now, Tomei was on a mission to find Jason, the presumed father to Belinda's child.
She was feeling for vibrations that matched the particular Jason she was looking for.
Seemed like she was charting new waters all the time, and this was a skill she hadn't quite mastered yet. She knew there were a dozen Jason's in this town of 4500, but would her senses be able to pick out the right one?
She suddenly locked on to a signal, a matching spiritual wavelength, and it was coming from the General Store. This was a busy place, handling just about every item and connecting service that served this little town. Tomei walked in, seeking a stronger energy, but instead it only flattened. This meant that her Jason had been there or passed through, but wasn't there in person. Tomei decided to ask the store owner a few questions just to be sure.
The store owner approached her..."
Howard Wynn-Store Owner
"Good morning young lady, how may I help you?"
Tomei
"Yes, I was wondering if there might be a Jason here, maybe someone that works for you?"
Wynn
"And if there was a Jason here, what would that have to do with you?"
Tomei
"Well, assuming it's the right Jason, I have something to tell him!"
Wynn
"Let me get this straight...if it's the right one sweetheart, and just how are you going to know?"
Tomei
"They tell me..."
Wynn
"Do they...and who is they?"
Tomei pointing finger straight up
"The spirit world...they know everything!"
Wynn
"Right honey...the spirit world...now tell me child, have you been feeling okay?"
Tomei
Great...just perfect, I just came back from turning a baby around this morning, never even done anything like that...first time...baby just popped out like a greased pig!"
Wynn
"Greased pig...you just up and turned that baby around...you've got quite an imagination I'll say!"
Tomei
"And get this, it was still inside, too!"
Wynn
"I'm almost afraid to ask, but what the hey...inside what?"
Tomei
"Belinda's belly...she was having a baby and it was sideways, and I turned her the right way so it could be born!"
Wynn
"Was anybody else there?"
Tomei
"Oh, sure...Doc, all the girls who work for Madam Ellis...it was really something...you should have been there!"
Wynn
"Well, nobody came a calling or I would have took a visit."
Tomei
"It's too late now, but your getting off my question...do you have a Jason who's around here...cause I feel his energy just a little bit?"
Wynn
"Yes I do, but he went to Fort Kearney this morning to deliver some coffee and food stuff over there, probably won't be back till this evening, you can always come back later and see if he's the Jason your looking for?"
Tomei
"I'm pretty sure it is, cause even his "after" energy is still here..."
Wynn
"His after energy?"
Tomei
"That's what's left over after you touch something or leave the area...messes with the air!"
Wynn
"Okay...that certainly explains everything...can't be messing with that air too much, huh?"
Tomei
"Cause it remembers...I'll be back later...thank you sir!"
(Scene Switch)
Ext: Outlaws coming up on horses into Dolson.
Outlaw #1 (Tom Dickens)
"Think Dolson be in his bank?"
Outlaw #2 (Earl Thomas)
"Just cool yourself down a moment, cause we just fresh in here...let's go to the hall, maybe get us a room and a bath, whatcha think?"
Outlaw #1
"I'm thinking your a man with a plan...get my drink on, too!"
Outlaw #2
"I know you want to collect your payroll and roll out of here, but it's too obvious...they'd have us strung up before sundown...that money ain't goin anywhere!"
Outlaw #1
"You right, gotta learn to lay it down and blend in...guess I'm just edgy doing the main guy...I mean he own's this place right?"
Outlaw #2
"Well, according to J.P., he did, now he's in debt up to his eyeballs...so we just here to clean up the mess...what happens when you get carried away!"
Outlaw #1
"Wonder who's gonna take over when we finished?"
Outlaw #2
"Ain't none of our business, cause it will either take care of itself, or just cease to exist from this point going...for all I know J.P. may have us running it...who knows?"
Outlaw #1
"We don't know how to run no bank!"
Outlaw #2
"Now, how hard could it be, just take people's money and stick in your pocket...if they want some, you charge 'em a couple of bits to use it...couldn't be that complicated?"
Outlaw #1
"Let's go on head and get ourselves into town, take a look around..."
Outlaw #2
"If I'm gonna be a banker, probably need a new jacket and stuff, kinda look the part!"
Outlaw #1
"We ain't been invited yet, just give her time...never know what might happen!"
(Scene Switch)
Narrator
"The Sheriff was waiting on word to the legal obligations of his posted position in regard to the decision of the territorial council regarding his authority to make an arrest in the case of John Dolson. He needed confirmation from Judge Timmons out of Fort Kearney that there was a valid charge of an attempted robbery of the Wells Fargo stage, even if it was to salvage his own encountered debt obligations. Until he got the okay, there was little more the Sheriff could do but sit and wait on the telegraph!"
Int: Sheriff's Office-1 p.m.
Sheriff talking to his lead deputy
"Well, I just can't see how I can leave this be and do nothing...cause if I'm right, it won't be long till Morgan's boys are going to be paying Dolson a visit...I know how them financial types play this game."
Deputy
"So Sheriff, they come and clean up the mess huh?"
Sheriff
"Oh, you can bank on that so to speak...they don't tolerate incompetency when it comes to lending out money, especially outside source towns like this...I mean we're just a start-up...risky business making loans in these parts!"
Deputy
"What's the rush with the judge anyway, I don't think Mister Dolson is going anywhere?"
Sheriff
That's the problem, I don't think he's going anywhere either...maybe he just doesn't get it...if I was in his shoes I would have skedaddled this town weeks ago!"
Deputy
"So, the crew will be here, and that will be the end of it huh?"
Sheriff
"Not unless I get creative, figure out some way to get him into protective custody or something...see I might get flagged for sticking my fingers in a showdown with the judge."
Deputy
"Like in the end, everybody loses huh?"
Sheriff
"I try to do the right thing, but this has got me stumped...heck, for all I know the clean up crew might already be in town, just laying low for a while.
Deputy
"Maybe you ought to get hold of that little Tomei girl and see what she's seeing...she kind of spooks me the way she can see into what we're thinking..."
Sheriff
"Well, for something like this, I'm going to go on head and use my hunch...maybe just go on head and pick up Dolson before he runs out of time!"
Deputy
"What are you going to tell him?"
Sheriff
"Look, he's not that stupid...he already did some telegraphs...he knows what's coming down with or without my help...I'm going to make the offer and if he refuses, then so be it!
Deputy
"And what happens...happens, best we go before it's too late!
Sheriff
"Exactly, hope we still have time...let's go!"
(Scene Close)
Wynn
"Well, nobody came a calling or I would have took a visit."
