AU: Western Texas - Gene Hunt - 1888 (pt. 2)
**NOTE: This is part of a plot arc that was meant to occur in Milliways over the Spring/Summer of 2011 in Bar Time. It has since become an AU, and should be treated as a standalone plot not associated with any game, and not fitting into Kate's continuity.**
The desert is muted by gray light. It's still early, a bit of a chill in the air while the sun takes its time creeping past the horizon. Somewhere nearby an owl is hooting, taking its last survey of the desert before it returns to its hole for the day.
The fire is crackling, warming up salt pork and grits, three eggs Kate managed to bring from the bar, and a small cast iron skillet of fresh cornbread. The horses are munching on their own breakfast, half the saddlebags have been repacked, and Kate's washing her face with cold water before she slips on her blouse. She's well and covered by a clean chemise and plain corset, but she's still mindful of Gene as he sleeps.
