What Comes Next
Brandy told Jacob all about Lou,
Told him all she knew.
About Madame Grey,
The Black Diamonds
Judge Domain and how she got away.
How Billy had made Pearce Wade sing.
To clear her name and her freedom gained.
When for the Judge's death.
She took the blame.
When she began about Lou's ex.
Jacob said he knew the rest.
How Shamus was responsible for her death.
He'd been aiming for Pearce Wade,
Then Shamus killed himself, his debt paid.
How Bruce had rode out to avenge Lou.
In Shamus death he had a hand too.
It all sounded like the Lou.
That in their childhood, Jacob knew.
She had always been brave and strong.
Protected her siblings from those doin' them wrong.
Louise had a big heart.
Even from the start.
Jacob was sad he never got to see
The women she'd grown up to be.
But now he had Brandy back in his life.
It helped with some of the pain and strife.
And he also had a lead on Will and Tom.
He would ride out to find them when things got calm.
But for now, Jacob had decisions to make.
And now he had more at stake.
Because Brandy made it very clear,
Her life was here.
She had work to do
Things she promised Lou.
And oh there was the matter of her husband too!
"Husband, you?"
