Chapter 72 Distasteful Work
As I walked down the stairs, with a big smile on my face, I made sure I got a real good look at Biggs. On leaving the saloon, I began my recon in earnest. I timed myself walking from the saloon up to the restaurant, then over to the sheriff's office. It took slightly over three minutes to make the trip from the Orpheum up to the restaurant, but I needed someplace where I could sit and get the most "time" with Mr. Biggs. In the end, the "Gold House" hotel offered the most promise. Paying almost double, and laying down a lame excuse about needing a front room for my health, I was given one of the three rooms facing the street. Once in the room, I did a quick check and was delighted to realize I had a good view of the Orpheum and could catch Biggs as he came out.
