CHAPTER 17: BREAKFAST

I thought that red-haired pretty boy gunslinger looked familiar, thought Desire. Now I remember where I've seen him before. It was in the last century. In the home of a wealthy cattleman. I made two brothers in that home desire that redhead. Yes, it's all coming back to me now.

"Sit here next to me, Johnny," said Haus smiling.

"No, sit here by me," said Little Jo.

Johnny saw Haus glaring at Little Jo.

"Fellas, fellas," said Johnny in a light-hearted voice. "There's no need to argue. I can sit here between the both of you."

Clark fumed. He had planned on playing footsie with Johnny under the table while they had breakfast. So much for that, thought Clark.

Bill looked on with an amused expression on his face.

"Johnny, we were thinking about what you said last night," said Haus.

"Yes," said Little Jo. "Now we need you to settle an argument between Haus and me."

"An argument? Well, if I can be of some help, sure. I'd be happy to," said Johnny.

"Which one of us would you choose? Little Jo or me?" said Haus.

Johnny paused and stared at Haus, then at Little Jo.

"Gentlemen," said Clark. "That's quite some question to ask. Think about it. You're putting poor Johnny on the spot here. No matter who he chooses, it's going to cause some unpleasant feelings for the one who doesn't get chosen."

"I reckon you're right, Clark," said Little Jo. "But we want an answer. We want it now."

"Little Jo thinks you'd naturally pick him," said Haus. "His reasoning being that what better match for a pretty boy than another pretty boy, so he says."

Little Jo smiled his brightest pretty boy smile at Johnny.

"I don't know what to say," said Johnny. He honestly did not know how to choose. Before Clark showed up, Johnny figured he'd simply enjoy the company of both Haus and Little Jo and take his time deciding which he preferred. But now here was Clark sitting at the same table looking all handsome and muscular and gorgeous and oozing sex appeal.

Gahhh, thought Johnny. What am I going to do now?

He looked at Bill. And there's Bill. Beautiful tall blond lean sinewy Bill.

I'm a kid in a candy shop, thought Johnny. So many yummy men to choose from.

Just then a window shattered. Gun shots were being fired from outside.

"Get down!" shouted Haus. Everyone dived down to the floor.

Clark immediately checked to see if the others were all right.

Good, no one's been shot, thought Clark. He used his x-ray vision to see who was outside shooting.
