Thread: A meeting with Cahill

Jaimie (the young black man-servant) takes the card and nods.

"I will make sure he is ready to receive you," he says quietly. "Please be in his office at 8 p.m."

Ash will receive a text from Benjamin: "Can you arrange a meeting with the Lt. Col.?"

Response to Benjamin: "I have a meeting with him tomorrow evening. I will inform him that you will be attending as well."

Ash will call ahead to Cahill. "Mr. Walker has sought audience with you. I have extended an invitation to him as well since it is his position that we are seeking to fill."

Ash arrives with Benjamin a few minutes before 8.

"Good evening, Jaimie. Mr. Cahill should be expecting our presence. May we come in?"

Jaimie nods quietly turning and leading you all into the study. Cahill sits behind the large desk, old maps of the city spread across the desk before him that he seems to be half studying, a crystal tumbler of scotch in one hand, a cigar smoking still in a crystal ash tray resting on one of the maps.

He looks up as you enter.

"Mr. Winters, a pleasure, we have much to discuss," he looks at Walker. "Congratulations on your recent promotion. It is well deserved sir." He rises and extends a hand to Walker.

"God evening to you as well, Mr. Cahill. You are correct we do have much to discuss, but I will defer to Mr. Walker for the moment as he requested to meet with you this evening as well."

Ash moves off to the side so that Cahill and Benjamin can talk.

The Colonel takes the offered hand and shakes it firmly. "Thank you, Prince Cahill. I wanted to personally resign my commission as Sheriff, once you have a replacement ready to go. Until that time, by order of His Grace, Art Morgan, I remain at your service."

Cahill smiles.

"Well, filling your shoes will not be an easy task sir. I hope that in the future I can call on you for advice and your insight. Though our interactions have been few, your actions speak louder then any words, garnering the respect you deserve."
