Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Location: Kreuzberg Depot, New Berlin

It was his first visit to Kreuzberg and it was comforting. He considered the Junkers friends and didn't feel at all threatened by the Red Hessians, Unioners and LWB agents that were about. In fact, they paid no mind to him.

"Another drink, Sir?" asked the bartender, not addressing him by title so as to maintain his privacy.
"No, no, I think I will be set," John Holliday answered, "I have some work to finish in my quarters.

He then went to the quarters he had rented for the evening. He was tired and didn't feel he could make the trip home. After a short call to his wife, he began screening pictures and transcripts from earlier in the day when he found The Joker and his thugs stopping traders at a trade lane. Sitting back in his chair with his feet up on the desk, he took a sip of freshly poured Bourbon.

"Interesting," he thought, "very interesting." He continued on. Some traders he stopped and just let go, some he demanded dropping a portion of their cargo and being destroyed by the hauler while others were ordered to surrender ordinance.
"No patterns of consistency at all," he said to himself, "but I see compassion." He made this observation as he pressed a transport of Bretonian refugees for ordinance and while the captain didn't comply, he let him go.
"He could have killed them all but didn't," he whispered to himself. He then sat back and thought again, "He could have killed me if he really wanted to but....."
Doc only sat more confused. He so wondered what it was that made this body of insanity like him enough to call him friend. He was honored for it but he still wondered.

He continued reviewing his information. A lone military pilot had arrived but like himself, seemed friendly.
"What makes this guy tick?" he kept asking himself. Not being a mental health doctor, he only made himself ask more questions as he studied. He then took his reading glasses off, put them on a table and said, "Maybe it's time I find out....but does he trust me enough?"

He then smirked with a very crazy idea of his own but before he went through with it, he needed to talk to Mrs. Holliday about it and she was already asleep for the evening.
