Chapter 57


AJ had heard rumors further south that some sort of private war was going on. After the trial, she had traveled south and found out that the rumors were true. The surprising thing was, the shipment of illegal weapons was supposed to be right here in Four Corners. Right under those peacekeeper's noses. She didn't have any proof yet, so she decided that as soon as she found the weapons supplier, AJ would inform Mr. Larabee. It was their job to keep the town under control, not hers.

She had followed Molly Gallagher to where they were now, and saw the stunned look on her face as opened the large box. AJ could guess what was in there, but she wasn't going to push the girl. Molly obviously wasn't expecting to find whatever it was she found. She gasped when she saw AJ.

"N-nothing that important." she insisted as she quickly replaced the lid to the crate. AJ snorted irritabily at her and stepped forward.

"I can guess what's in that there box without lookin' inside it." she said flatly, her hand still resting on her gun. Without waiting for the woman to reply, she said in a monotous tone "Weapons. Lots of 'em. An' this ain't the only shipment, I hear. Tell me who supplied those weapons." she added menace to those last words. AJ had learned to school her face and gave Molly that glare her former partner had always used.
