I wrote this in response to the August 2004 story challenge on the Vin Tanner Feedback and Discussion Group. Brigitta?s edict was to write a piece where Vin reveals something about his past.
English spelling has been used in this piece.

Summary: This is a missing scene from ?Working Girls?, and fits in near the end of the episode, the evening before Mary Travis is kidnapped by Wicks. Apart from the list challenge as stated above, I?m also exploring the possibility that Chris knew Lydia prior to her arriving in the area. Some dialogue from the actual episode is included in this story.
Heartfelt thanks to my husband, Mike, for his love and continued support, whilst I lost myself in my writing ? yet again!
This story hasn?t been edited, so please bear that in mind when reading. Positive or constructive feedback would be welcomed? any flames will be dealt with by way of a controlled explosion!
