Lisa oversleeps.

The combination of her previous lack of sleep, the nights activities, and the excellent matress she was now resting on conspired to keep Lisa asleep. When she did finally awaken the sun was already high in the sky.

"Fuck." Lisa swore as she reluctantly kicked off the bed covers.

Lisa hurriedly got ready for the day and made her way downstairs. The Connors house was, from the outside at least, as rundown as the rest of town. However the interior had been well maintained by the 2 kids and their recently departed father.

In the kitchen, Billy was sat at a table idly playing with a cold cup of coffee.

"Morning Billy." Lisa called out to him.

Billy failed to respond and Lisa was already late and so didn't press the matter. After leaving the house Lisa decided to start a sweep thru town.

Lisa started with the stables. There she found Beth absent mindedly grooming Lisa's horse.

"Morning Beth." Lisa greeted her.

"Morning Lisa." Beth responded. "I guess your up."

"Yeah." Lisa said. "I hope Old Bob won't give me to much trouble for sleeping in."

"He won't." Beth told her.

The pair then engaged in idle conversation for a while but to Lisa, Beth seemed somewhat distracted. Then Lisa said goodbye and resumed her patrol. Lisa was surprised to find that most places were closed, but those that were open, were populated by people as distracted as Beth had been.

Lisa finished her patrol and reported to the sheriff. He wasn't unhappy about her oversleeping. Bob Thorn went on to explain that the town always got like this the day before the Black Lynchers showed up.

Lisa told Bob Thorn that barring any unforseen incidents she would be down at Usher's practice range during the afternoon.

"You still intend to go up against them tomorrow?" Bob asked her.

"Yeah!" Lisa answered.

"Just let it be known about town what your up to." Bob warned her. "Just start shooting and you'll likely scare everyone to ****."

"How do I do that?" Lisa asked.

"Make an announcement at lunch in the hotel. Word will soon spread." Bob told her.
