With: Matt Wentworth and Kurt Albrecht
When: Early August 1876
Time of Day: Afternoon

Kurt looked around the hotel lobby as he waited for the desk clerk to return. It was nicely furnished but not opulent like hotels in San Francisco or New York. As the only hotel in town that so-called respectable citizens could stay at, it served its purpose and that of its owner.

Matt Wentworth had left a letter addressed to him at the Post Office requesting a meeting. He had known Matt through the Secret Service, but they only worked together a few times. Neither man could acknowledge that they knew each other as that would raise questions as to where and when they met. The Secret Service wasn't called that for nothing. Still, he had to wonder why Matt wanted to see him. Maybe it had something to do with his own situation.

Even now he didn't really want to think about what happened on his last assignment. There were still so many questions to answer, not to mention the raw emotions it still bought out in him whenever he thought about. The rawest of those emotions was the confusion, hurt, and sorrow he felt regarding her.

The door closing to the office door, alerted Kurt that Walter, the desk clerk had returned. He went up to the desk and was instructed to go right on in. With that, he thanked the man and made his way into the office.
