"Probably is about that, might be the same guy even,". Thomas said in an undertone, glancing up and around at the sound of footsteps. " this might not have been a good idea John..."

"No idea, but I guess we have plans for five now,". Thomas frowned, looking after where the man had disappeared.
"That's what you get for marrying a woman who cares about you". Joked Thomas, elbowing John in the ribs. He had no intention of buying a gun, finding pistols not to his liking. He preferred a knife or his hunting rifle. Even so he wandered around the store for a bit to look around.
Thomas was reluctant to leave the man alone, a bit short if breath as well but he relented. "Fine". He muttered, casting a last glance after the stranger before turning to John. " but if I seem him again I won't let him loose me!" Thomas said with certainty. It wasn't anger or some sort of vendetta, he just wanted to know who it was and why the other man had had to die. He couldn't help but be curious.
Thomas jumped up onto the box John had thrown after it clattered to a total stop, using it like a spring board to jump after the stranger. He missed hs coattails by inches though and, cursing, straightened up and sprinted after him.

"What kind of work do you hope to find here?". Asked Thomas with a sigh as they came to the bustling town square. " if it's book keeping again I will have no part in it! You know how much I hate writing and reading. So if that's what you're after you're on your own my friend. "
"He was asking for it.". Thomas said flatly, stepping over the crumpled men to follow John out the door. Once outside he rubbed his knuckles thoughtfully. " well, lets see. We can get clear of here for starters?". He offered, eyeing John's injury. "Should probably get that looked at while we're at it'
