“Atherton,” Simon replied, his voice drowsy after hours of love-making. They lay sweaty and spent in Wing’s bed. “I’m at the height of my career. I’m not ready to give that up just yet ( ... )

Sometimes Adrian regretted his choices. Especially on days where he was faced with the incredible stupidity human beings out here on the rim were capable of. Then again, out here, in the black, the consequences of stupidity were more localised, and nothing like Parlaimants and the Alliance's blunders and inability to admit to them ( ... )

Simon's eyes narrowed.

Must be the new lawman O'Malley mentioned the other day.

Then his eyes widened.

No one mentioned how... competent ... he looked.

Simon gave himself a moment to get his bearings and pulled out a new bottle of Ogden's Firewhiskey. It was his best, and resevered for those Simon especially wanted to cultivate... like the lawman he'd call if there was any trouble he couldn't handle himself.

"Whiskey, Lawman?" he asked when the man came closer to the bar. He got out two shot glasses.

Adrian pulled off his hat and beat it against his leg once to get the dust off that too. He ran a hand through his lightly sweaty hair and looked in the direction of the voice.

He quirked an eyebrow as he took in the man's appearance. Very nice. Nicer in person, than on the small picture in the records concerning this establishment. Very much nicer...

And then he told his mind to kindly shut up.

"Whiskey would be mighty appreciated." He walked up to the bar and waited for the drink to be poured. He noticed the second glass and wondered if Tam was planning on drinking with him.

“But they just sat there … and ate…!”

“Simon knows what he’s doing.”

“But that’s just it! He wasn’t doing anything ( ... )

After receiving the information he needed, Adrian had decided to let the Alliance deal with the smugglers. Unless they became too much of a nuiscance, now that their suppliers would be taken out of commission.

The plan was set to go, and all the deputees were in place around the manson commune, awaiting orders. A few of those deputees were not going to do anything, Wyndam and Bannerman, other than probably sit around smoking and drinking while waiting for the news of Sheriff Pucey's untimely demise. So they could shake their heads and talk mournfully about how that nice but somewhat foolish idealist had pushed it too far, too fast. And then they would wait for the next fool.

This time they'd be disappointed though. Manson knew he was coming, but that was all fine and dandy. They had sized each other up two days earlier, the one time Adrian had visited the commune. He'd pretended to merely be there to say 'howdy' in a more personal way, and to more or less leave the message to 'tone it down or end up in jail'. But all friendlylike, ( ... )

He couldn't hear the conversation from here almost a mile away, but as he watched through the binoculars, now switched to normal vision, he smirked a little. The agitation was obvious, when the first bundle was inspected, revealing the worthless mass of pulp, even without sound, and he figured the lookout posts would be close enough to know something was up as well. Very good, no focus on the surrounding areas then ( ... )

Word travelled up and down mainstreet of Peach Town about how the smugglers and the Mansons had a big shoot out and Sheriff Pucey caught them all red-handed and locked up the survivors.

Judicious fishing for details turned up some interesting information. When Simon had gathered all the items on his shopping list he headed back to his Tavern... a bit whistful that he'd missed the Sheriff.

There was a strange flitter out front. Simon had takent eh horse and cart to do the week's grocery shopping, so he pulled it up to the back.

Ernesto told him to get out front and when he did, he couldnt' help the broad smile that greeted him of Lawman Pucey in the booth they'd shared before, with a double helping of mousse in front of him.

Simon slid into the opposite seat. "I hear there's a family of drug-smuggling murderers put out of business."
