Felix dipped his head to her. "Yes Mam I think I will. Rumors don't bother me not one bit!" He leaned in a little closer and whispered "As you might have noticed I'm not completely normal." He then leaped down the stairs and walked to the front of his carriage. "I'll be back at 5 o'clock sharp mam. I'll be near the outskirts of town due East if you need me!" He then jumped up to his compartment and whipped the horse to get it going. He headed East, going past the post office he had seen before.

He went out around five miles and then pulled his horses down into a small gulley. He prepared his bed, which was in the front compartment behind where he sat when he drove, for that night. He then put his Lemalt into his shoulder holster, just to be safe. His Yellow Boy he put on his back as he jumped down and walked around to the back. Once in there he dragged a chest from the very front of the carriage and took around to his horses. From it he extracted 5 apples and cut them in half, giving 3.5 to each horse. He then moved the horses into the shade and left them to eat.

Felix, not forgetting his slight military training, knew he was being watched. He couldn't decide who it was but he knew they were in the West. There was an odd smell coming from that direction and it smelled faintly of smoke. Whoever he/she was Felix didn't like being watched so he hunkered down into his makeshift cot and pulled his Yellowboy around. "Come out whoever you are! I'm the best shot I ever met so one wrong move and I'll blow your brains out!"
