A civil chat.

"I'll holster mine if you do the same." Lisa told Dan.

"Offend your fucking delicate sensabilities does it?" Dan asked.

"No but it is..." Lisa paused to consider how to finish her answer. "Distracting."

"Fine." Dan laughed putting away his cock. "Davey 2 cups of coffee."

Dan took a seat at a nearby table. Lisa holstered her gun and joined Dan. Davey produced 2 cups of hot coffee. Lisa took a drink.

"Thats a good cup of coffee." Lisa told Dan.

"Thanks" said Dan as Lisa took a second swallow." That'll fucking be $25."

"For a coffee!" Lisa choked.

"Coffees free. Anytime you want it." Dan told her. "The 25 is for the fucking hole in the ceiling."

Lisa took her money from breast pocket and counted out $25. She then returned the rest to her pocket.

"Sorry about that." Lisa told Dan. "Seemed the best thing to do at the time."

"So is this where you tell me, how you are the fucking law in this town and that I should watch my step." Dan says.

"Something like that." Lisa replied.

"I got this" Dan told Lisa pointing to his scar "carving a niche for myself, and no fucking lawman, no matter how pretty, is gonna fucking dictate things to me."

"She sure is prettier than the other deputies Old Bob has had." Davey commented.

"Anyone not a rotting corpse is prettier than that lot." Dan said.

"They're dead?" Lisa asked.

"Either from accidents around town or against the Lynchers." Davey informed Lisa.

"Enough idle chatter." Dan said. "Now what about our current situation?"

"I don't care what activities you got up to in the past." Lisa told Dan. "Just don't allow your patrons to rough up the visitors."

"Thats Pete's job." Dan explained. "Davey, where the fuck is Pete?"

"He took the laundry down to the chinamans." Davey told Dan.

"Well deputy. Anything fucking else you want?" Dan asked Lisa.

"No. Just wanted you to get control of your patrons." Lisa answered.

"Well then. In that fucking case, I got a fucking question for you." Dan said. "What do you make of my fucking competition?"

Behind Lisa a hulking man entered the saloon.
