Justice's Grievances

I came into BG

With Judge Grievance

Following me.

A sight the newlyweds

Should be happy to see.

"Thanks Justice for coming

All this way."

I heard Mayor Order say.

"Least I can do for missing your special day.

Had I attended, I doubt this Snicka fella would

Have gotten away.

You certain, Order

This life is worth the trouble

So far your involvement with this woman

Has caused your nose to be broken,

You've been shot and stabbed.

If it was me I would have headed

For the hills on the double."

"Ah, none of it's been that bad.

I do hate that Myna didn't have

the wedding she wanted."

Justice just shrugged and grunted.

"I'll let Grievance get his say and then

We will be on our way."

"Why don't you stay, for a day?"

"I may.

Only cause I don't have a choice

3Gun wired

Some business about the PHA.

He says the place is near deserted.

And the man who says he's in charge

Is a Bellows but the application

Doesn't give him any designation.

So looks like I'll be evicting him

So we'll see if there's any trouble

If there is... I'm liable to bring him in."

"The Bellows and Rivers left for good?"

Again Justice shrugged.

"Thought that part was understood."

"Sorry, I've been otherwise pre-occupied."

Lorne motioned to the knife wound in his side.

"All I know is that they did go,

The Rivers and Bellows

Where to know no one knows.

The residents have all fled

Except a Dusty, Sonja and Larson's

It said.

I don't know what I can do for them

But I'll try.

But pretty much the land has been left to die.

Rule is 6 months to make improvements

5 years to get a deed.

Doesn't look like this new owner

Has what he needs."

Lorne nodded.

"Well thanks again, Justice

For comin' round.

Looks like you've got it wrapped up

Pretty sound."

"It's what I do."

Then he's seen Billy.

"Later Order. Need to see someone

about a woman named Lou."

Justice came up to Billy's side

He wanted to fix things with Rue

And tried.

But suddenly she was nowhere around

Neither could Jujube or Jasper be found.

"You know a Louise McGinty

She said you'd be the man to see

She came to County

With one hell of story."

"Lou... she came to you?"

"Yeah, confirmed that Domain was dead.

Told me he has girl's stashed all over, she said.

Haven't the time

To look into the crime

So right now she had to agree

To be, put under lock and key."

"You arrested, LOU!"

"Not much else I could do

If the Judge is dead.

I asked if she wanted it to be

Buchanan instead.

But she not so politely refused."

"What do you want from me?

How do I get Lou free?

What did you do about Bruce?"

"I set him loose.

She wasn't even certain you'd be here,

Truthfully.

I only need one to pay for the crime.

And she all but confessed."

"The man was SLIME!"

"This may be true,

But if you want her free

I suggest you.

Go round up those girls

If her story has clout

I'll let her out."

Billy thought of Rue

But knew

She'd be fine

Where as Lou

May be running out of time.

"Where do I start?"

Justice gave him an address for a Pearce Wade.

"Someone else she mentioned may come to her aide.

But she and Bruce couldn't find him.

I did, so I'd say this is where you could begin.

Will you do it?"

"Of course,"

Billy took the note

"And whistled for his horse."
