As they drove towards the Superstition Mountains Nigel was impressed by the stark beauty of the area, it was so different from England.
After checking in at the hotel they took a short drive to the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman’s Museum located in the Gold Field Ghost Town.
The museum and the surrounding buildings made Nigel feel like he had stepped back into history. As he studied the numerous hand drawn maps and records in the museum, Sydney told him she was going to head over to some of the shops in the area.
When Sydney returned to the museum, she found Nigel still studying the map wall taking notes. He didn’t know she was behind him until he felt the hat being placed on his head. When he turned around he saw her smiling at him, a brown cowboy hat on her head.
"I couldn’t resist."
Nigel removed the hat from his head to look at it, the cowboy hat she had gotten him was black, it had a leather hat band with a diamond pattern.
"Black huh, I thought only the bad guys in westerns wore black." he said with a smirk on his face "Are you trying to tell me something?"
"No, Little Joe wore a black hat for a while on Bonanza as well as Adam and Candy, even James West and Maverick wore black hats." she looked around to make sure there was no one was watching as she moved closer. "Anyway I think you look mighty sexy in that hat, maybe I should start calling you Little Nigel"
He also scanned the room and saw they were now alone, he moved closer to whisper in her ear. "Little Nigel, that’s not what you said the other night" he said as he started to head over to the Peralta exhibit, playfully swatting her behind. "You can call me whatever you want Scoochie"
"What? How do you........did my father tell you?" her voice gradually increasing in pitch as she turned to follow him.
He just flashed her a wicked smile before turning back towards the exhibit, placing his new hat on his head.
Go to Part Five.
