Rico is affectionately known as "the kid" because at twenty five he is the youngest member of the Rock Creek Six.
A love'em and leave'em kind of guy because of the women who willingly throw themselves at him.
Ah, but when Lily Fortier shows up she hits him in his "ego" and nearly floors him, much to Cash's amusement. Now the bets start. How long will it take to get Lily into Rico's bed.

Lily has shown up in Rock Creek with her "brother", Johnny and claims the saloon that Cash had considered his. This ended up causing Cash and Nate to leave especially after Sullivan backs her up.

Rico ends up helping Lily clean up the saloon and shock of shocks, Eden and Mary show up with their children and help also.
Of course, Lily was expecting a snide set down by these good women. What fun.
Carrie and Johnny bond as brother and sister [maybe a story in the future?] Yet Carrie feels the need to get rid of Lily. She doesn't want any one claiming Rico's attention. Carrie is now nine years old, she was six when Rico saved her [in Reese's story].
The attempts are hilarious. After a seemingly [to me] long session of which room to meet in, a Pinkerton agent shows up.
And wouldn't you know - Jed is intrigued by the Pinkerton man.

Again the Rock Creek Six get together and almost save the day. With Rico and Carrie's help. After Rico receives a very distinctive shock. [another story?]
