Actually, Abby--no we haven't called off the posse! As you know, Blackbird is in charge of investigations and a crime has been committed. Now, if you go rob a bank, take the money and run, and then later on return the money to the bank--well, that's ok with the banker that the money has been returned---BUT---a crime has still been committed---and the culprit must be apprehended.
And Blackbird will handle all negotiations! I'm sure there will be a few wrinkles I'll need to iron out of the "demand" list--
But yes, to answer your question--no, the posse is not being called off---I'm just waitin' now on a telegram to come in from Dodge--got a few leads in just about every state---some of the men will need fresh horses and food---Blackbird can hold out--his horse is like him---Simper Fi!!!! (Learned that from Tyndale!)
Talk to ya'll later--as soon as I get to another telegram shack--I'll send word on the posse's progress!
Blackbird
