a week later five days done gone by before he awoke in a very unfamiliar place.
The slightest noise.
In a moment's noticed, he's already whipped out His gun only to see a nun tending to his bedside rightfully scared Of the man who just pointed a gun in her face.
Rex says very confused: where… when.. I.. Sorry miss. He lowers the gun to his side. Rex: You startled me is all it's okay, I don't harm no men or women of the cloth.. now who might you be miss? And would you be so kind to telling me exactly where I am and how long I've been out. And perhaps where the individual wearing that black hat is?
Once the gun is lowered the church maiden immediately relaxed.
and she this says in a warm and welcoming tone:
Welcome to railroad springs My name is Evelyn Sunshire proud maiden of the cloth After you saved us on the train I personally volunteered to take care of you until you awakened it's been nearly five days since you've been out I was really starting to worry but I'm glad you're awake now.
the situation stuns and stresses out rex all because he passed out on that train, he's now almost 600 miles away from home in a town. He doesn't know
And the one person he was hunting is nowhere to be seen All these thoughts rushing through his head as rex begins to fidget in the bed. As he stands up still shirtless and bandaged from his wounds and burns, he rushes outside falling over a couple times on the way bumping into tables and brooms to see basically for the first time green, a lot of green.. nice houses, almost paved roads, smell isn't even so dirty and unclean.
Everywhere he looks, people are dressed nice instead of just dressing nice on occasions like the people of his old town used to dress only occasionally, or when they're having special drinks here, they just dress casually nice even the sky in the air, the sky rather than sweltering heat, there's a smooth cool breeze. The blue sky is a lot more visible here due to their not being as much dust in the air.
Everything looks so nearly pristine from his standing for a moment, you almost wonders if he died on the train. But that thought quickly fades as he feels a warm hand against his back. Not harsh but warm and welcoming. As the church maiden from before places her small hand against his back in a comforting way.
Evelyn says calmly with gentleness to her tone:
It's probably a lot different than you're used to. But rest assured will take care of you here until you're all healed up until then. I hope you can trust your care to me Sheriff. Your widely known tale, is known to even us all the way up here. You're a hero to a lot of people up here, People tell you're stories to inspire children. You're a very good sheriff and we would be honored to have you as our guest for the time being.
He looks back up at her gentle smile thinking, How Could someone like her exist someone who's so naturally kind and warm hearted, even though he put a gun in her face earlier she shows no sign of fear of him. Everywhere, back at home, he always got looks And people who thought he was dangerous. People feared him, even by name but not her not this Evelyn Sunshire. For the first time in a while he gave a small smile and took her hand as she led him back inside the church Healing center room.
