Doc Holliday page 3 by ric gustafson
John Holliday entered the carpeted lobby of the Regent Hotel. The lobby was filled with sofas and overstuffed chairs. He walked up to the front desk.
The desk clerk snapped to attention." Good afternoon Sir".
" Good afternoon". Holliday smiled. " I'd like one of your best rooms".
" Of course Sir". The clerk handed him a pen and the registration ledger. " How long will be staying with us?".
Holliday frowned. " Don't know".
A bellman brought his trunks to a room. It had a window overlooking the street. Holliday opened one of the trunks. While he stared out the window, he took three things out of the trunk. First, he took out a quart of bourbon. He took a long slug. Second, he pulled out a cigarillo. He lit it up. Third, he took out a Colt pocket revolver. He heard that in the Wild West every man needed a gun.
He put five rounds in it.
