Akecheta silently slipped into the jail and leaned against the wall, waiting to see how long it would take his blood-brother to notice him. Alexzander had his face buried in papers and looked as if he hadn’t slept in days. Akecheta looked around before turning back to watch Alexzander, who had yet to notice him.

“Looks like you could use a few deputies, brother,” Akecheta grinned. My, how he’d missed startling Alex.

Alexzander jumped and tripped over his chair, nearly falling face first into the pile of papers he’d been sorting. “Akecheta! You could give a man a heart attack!” Alexzander held his hand to his chest, his heart beating rapidly within it as he stood and came around the desk wrapping Akecheta in a bear hug.

“I’ve missed you, brother,” Alexzander said as he pounded on his back.

“I’ve missed you, too.”

“You’ll stay with Betsy and I for now, won’t you? No need to stay at the Inn. You’ll just love Betsy, she’s a handful, but very resourceful. I can’t wait for you to meet her!”

“Actually, I’ve already met your sassy little wife and been informed I was staying with you,” grinned Akecheta

“You did? How’d you meet my Betsy already?”

“She was waiting for me at the train station with a gaggle of other women. It seems she figured out what ‘upon the full moon’ means and you didn’t,” chuckled Akecheta.

“Well, I’ll be! What were they all doing there?”

“Looking for me. Apparently, my brother has been playing matchmaker behind their backs.”

“I told Betsy to keep that a secret!”

“Probably a good thing she didn’t since three other Reverends arrived on that train with me.”

“I thought Abby hadn’t received any responses…”

“So, Mrs. Abigail Bates is the one? I read her very short advertisement on the way here, but I do wonder if she’s still in need of a groom.” Akecheta scratched his chin. “What happened around here, seems the place has seen better days?”

“Brother, you name it, it’s happened. Earthquakes, mudslides, drownings, con-men arriving daily…” he looked down at the papers on his desk, “it just seems to keep coming. Enough about that though, how ‘bout we head to the house and see what’s for dinner and get you settled in? Then we can see what’s going on with Abby,” winked Alexzander.
