Colorado Springs, Co.– Recent reports indicate that town blacksmith and town council member Robert E is awash with relief that no one has questioned his role in procuring horses for Sully’s use in a staged revolt.
While Byron Sully remains missing, believed by some to be dead, Robert E has concerns but remains overall grateful that his own part in the rebellion has not been questioned.
“You know I was just helping Sully get these horses when he told me what he was doing,” Robert E comments. “At first I was a little surprised and didn’t know if I should be helping, but Sully threw back that comment about the Indians needing someone to fight for them, and it really pushed me over the edge. I had to help at that point.”
Although Robert E openly spoke about acquiring horses and remarking that he (Sully) needed as many as he could get, no one has questioned Robert E’s role in the revolt.
“To be honest with you, I was a little nervous,” Robert E remarks. “I was nervous not so long ago when that bounty hunter feller was here, and I really don’t need a second reason for the law to be after me. It is pretty amazing to me that I talked so openly about it before the revolt and numerous people knew that Sully had these horses in his pasture at his homestead, but not a single person has brought it up or accused me of any involvement really.”
Robert E insists that while he still believes he was right to help Sully in his quest to help those living at the reservation free themselves from the oppressive regime imposed upon them, he is at the same time relieved that no one has connected those dots.
“Am I dreaming, or did I just get away with helping someone commit a crime?” Robert E exclaims. “Boy, life is funny, isn’t it?”
At press time, Robert E’s luck continued as Hank and Jake revealed that Sully lives, thereby bolstering the efforts to find him. Meanwhile, the bounty hunter that had previously visited town was marveling that Robert E’s horse acquisition skills had improved so much in less than two years.
