Bearer of Bad Tidings
It was early in the day
when Brandy went to find Brody
She was surprised he turned deputy
He wasn't at the hotel or the jail from
What she could see.
She felt even worse
when she discovered at the saloon
That someone close to Brody
was shot by some goon.
When she stepped outside
She heard people cry, "Mudslide,
Down by the docks some waterspout.
Took some people out."
She'd seen the Doc get out his wagon.
"Do you mind if I hitch a ride?"
In the chaos, he was spied.
"Brody! Brody Delaney!" Brandy had to yell.
This place looks like hell.

Brody turned to a sight he never thought he'd see.
"Oh MY GOD! BRANDY!"
Brandy swallowed the nervousness she felt.
She had to deal with what needed to be dealt.
"Hi, there Brody. Yeah, it's me."
"What in God's name brings you to BG?"
"Let's first help Doc get these folks to safety."
The two worked tirelessly to get some trapped people
and animals free. Thankfully there were no serious injuries.
"You got them Doc U.B.?"
He nodded and thanked them for their help.
They used the water from a nearby well
To get them back to looking swell.
Brody turned, saying "Now what can I do for you?"
"I needed to talk to you, you know, about Lou?"
