The Silver Bullet : Chapter Two "Maybe the future"
As I arrived in Laredo I could feel the warm sunshine and the Texas wind blowing in my face.
I hadn't been in Laredo an hour when I realized all I had to my name was fifty bucks and a Silver Bullet my grandmother had given me.
I needed to find myself a place to live and way to make some money.
So I started walking up and down the streets of Laredo looking for a place to stay and a way to make me some money.
When I then came across this big fella that did not have the best intentions on his mind.
"Who the hell may you be Stranger?"
As this tall 6'7 mountain of a man approached me letting me know that he didn't
take to kindly to me snooping around the town.
" I am Sam, Sam Dakota and Sir who may you be?"
"Well I'm not someone looking to steal something"
I had really taken the remarks about my character in not such a good light, but also knew I didn't want to fight this man.
"Sir, I don't mean to offend you, especially a big man such as your self, but I have no intentions of stealing anything I am looking for a place to stay and way to make some money"
He looked at me with a half smile and said
"Well I reckon it ain't no harm a man looking to take care of himself.
If your serious about wanting to make some money and a place to stay.
The Weatherstein Ranch has been looking for a cook for the past few weeks."
" By chance there wouldn't be a Julie Weatherstein staying at the Weatherstein Ranch?"
"I take it you've met the self proclaimed Queen of Laredo?"
" Is that what you all call her out here?"
" No we don't, that's what she and her daddy thinks she is, but don't let that bother you.
You need a job and a place to stay if you can cook Carl Weatherstein will have no problem paying you what you're worth"
"Exactly, where do I find this ranch?"
"About 15 miles west of here in that direction.
It might do you some good to rent yourself a horse for five dollars and ride out there"
"Well I better start walking because I might need my money if Carl doesn't like my cooking"
"No need to walk I'll get my buckboard...
