“Do what is right; let the consequence follow.” I’m embarrassed to admit I drifted from my ol’ credo tonight. I’m growin’ cautious and edgier than I mean to be bein’ aroun’ the supernatural as much as I have bin lately. Because of how much I trust this group I’ve been workin’ along side of, and because they’ll always know mor’n me about this stuff, I oft times find myself lettin’ them take point on the situations we find ourselves in. I’m gettin’ complacent, and truth be told, relyin’ more on them than they are on me.
After Montfort scampers away from th’ scene, we come nose ta’ nose with the Fort Worth Posse. Yeah, from what I’ve read an’ heard on ‘em they’ve got their reputation, but so do I and MY RANGER POSSE, an’ I’ll be damned if I don’t stand up fer justice an’ my sworn duty again, no matter who or what they are! When they came with their demands fer Erica‘s critter friend, my gut tells me to speak up an’ warn the Posse ‘bout startin’ a riot…but I balk an’ am steamin’ over my display o’ cowardice. I really don’t like bullies, and here I am lettin’ a whole team of ‘em swagger off with something that needs the protection I’m sworn to. They nailed it when they said ‘Heat Makes People Crazy,’ ‘cuz I’m boilin’ over and ready to intervene a’fore the Fort Worth Posse makes it off the premesis.
What I can’t forget, though, is that doin’ “what’s right” sometimes means doin’ nothin’ until the time is right. Hopefully, if’n that’s the case here, someone from the group points that out to me a’fore I get us all in trouble too heaped for our own good.
