Graile Ch. 4B
By: MacBeth

1630 Revello Drive

Jack lay relatively stretched out on Joyce?s couch,
after having ushered the nearly comatose
Slayer upstairs. Before leaving the young blonde?s
room, he unlatched the window and packed
her slaying bag and set it atop the windowsill.
Standing in the doorway, he looked towards the
snoozing Slayer and grinned before closing the door.
Now, in black boxers and barechested, he
lay comfortable for the first time in a long while.
Jack smiled a calm smile and, in a short
moment, did something he rarely did outside of his
building in Manhattan, he relaxed.
Upstairs in her bed, Buffy was deep in Morpheus?
grasp a dream she couldn?t distinguish
from reality.

The Horse?s panting was getting more and more
labored as it?s rider urged the mount onto
greater speeds. The rider looked back to see if the
posse was still on her trail. The rider tossed
long red hair back over a slender leather clad
shoulder and reined in the mount. Lifting the brim
of her hat, The outlaw wiped sweat from her brow with
a bandanna and regained her breath.
?Damned Marshal. I can add San Diego to my list of
?Towns I Can?t Go Back Too.??
Spying a roadsign up ahead, she moved her mount
into a slow trot and looked back again to
make sure she wasn?t followed. The roadsign showed two
possibilities, Los Angeles to the
south, and some dirthole by the name of Sunnydale to
the north. The rider turned her mount
North and hoped the bar served decent whiskey. 
Shortly after noon, Andrea Ravencroft, or ?Red Rea?
as the Wanted Posters called her, rode
into town. She directed her horse to a hitch post in
front of the bar and slid out of the saddle
with ease. Dropping her hand casually to the Colt
Peacemaker slung low on her hip, she flicked
the leather knot off the gun?s hammer with her thumb
and strode to the tavern?s door.
