Job options.
Old Bob gives Lisa the options.
"Well there arn't many jobs available in town." Bob told Lisa.
Bob looked Lisa up and down with an admiring gaze.
"'course with your looks you'd do well at Red Valley."
Lisa looked from Bob to Beth. Beth looked embarrassed. Lisa looked back to Bob.
"Whats Red Valley?" Lisa asked suspecting that it's the whore house.
"Its the whore house." Bob explained, confirming Lisa's suspicion. "They are always looking to hire pretty young things like you."
"Anything else?" Lisa asked.
"Could try the saloons." Bob answered. "But can't say if they'll be hirin'"
Bob paused for a minute then offered one more option.
"Or you could become my new deputy." Bob told Lisa.
"No don't!" Beth cried out.
Ignoring Beth, Bob continued.
"It would show a real commitment to the town."
Lisa looked at Beth who shook her head, concern in her eyes. Lisa again looked at Bob.
"Pays $10 a day." Bob said.
"Or a bullet in the back." interrupted Beth.
Bob cast an annoyed glance at Beth then went on.
"I could also speak to Alma Morgan about dropping the $15 a day." Bob said sweetening the deal.
Bob took a deputy badge from the desk drawer and put it on the corner of the desk within easy reach of Lisa.
"What about the allegations against me?" Lisa asked.
"Nobody is disputing your claim that it was self defence," Bob answered, "and nobody is claimin' the horses. So your free."
Lisa looked at Bob, who was eagerly awaiting Lisa's answer. Then to Beth, who looked at Lisa full of concern. Then the badge within arms reach.
"Well whats it gonna be?" Bob asked Lisa.
Deputy? Whore? Some other job?
