That loud thud when I landed definitely drew some attention—not exactly my finest moment. Keith Rodriguez27 i graniteharbor502They went straight for the throat on this one—aiming right at...

And the second that silhouette showed up— Kimi #1 He shot her cold-blooded. This guy reflexively fired a shot into the air—clutching his chest—before tumbling through the window and hitting the pavement outside. Just as he was about to sneak a glance back through the glass, a new silhouette appeared in the window frame. He fired toward the window again, but the bullet whizzed just a few inches past. Tyler Cruz32 He smashed her head, sending feathers flying from her plume everywhere. While those pink strands drifted through the air— Tyler Cruz32 Like a true lady—hand pressed to her forehead—she just collapsed right onto the floor.
"Damn... hell," he muttered. Jason Campbell70

"It's ours!" the Sheriff shouted, scanning the area for a decent vantage point. Jason Campbell70
"Where is he?" he asked. shadowstag10 Peeking out from an alleyway.
"Right here, right above you on the roof," he shouted. graniteharbor502
"Sheriff, toss me the shotgun!" he barked, reaching for the short-barreled double-barrel. shadowstag10 From the Sheriff
The Sheriff stood up from his cover and threw his rifle hard toward... shadowstag10No, nothing lightning-fast. Piti He just popped out from under the overhang and caught the Sheriff right in the shoulder. graniteharbor502 He fired back with a few shots, but he was just too late. Keith Rodriguez27 He just stumbled in, clutching his wound, and burst through the saloon doors.
"Need some help, Sheriff?" he asked, dripping with sarcasm. Edward Howard2 Sitting at the table with her, all worked up— rustydrifter10
Deputy from Paddock Paddock "He's still in jail... go get him," the Sheriff said. Rain MAXYMIgnoring it— Edward Howard2
Bha-ha-ha-haa — he burst out laughing. Rain
"Me?" — he asked, pointing at himself.
"And then I'll just go running... Bha-ha-ha-haa!" — he said, laughing like he actually meant it. Rain
"I'll do it!" she declared. rustydrifter10 Bolting toward the exit.
"Wait..."—she called out to him. Edward Howard2But this one was already out on the street.
In the meantime— mazgoon He was processing it. Wayout In jail, telling him the whole thing was just one big misunderstanding. Way He was wound tight from all that heavy gunfire—eventually, he just snapped.
"Alright, alright, but you're coming with me—and unarmed," he added. Way Unlocking the cell.
"I'll be waiting for you outside..." he said. mazgoon lighting up a cigarette

rustydrifter10 As soon as she spotted the rider closing in, she started waving her arms like crazy, screaming for help. Dmw He just nodded at her—one hand steadying himself by his chin—before grabbing her with the other and swinging her right over the saddle.
It keeps going...
There it is... just when things were finally starting to pick up, we're back to being miles away from any kind of sexy scene. I mean, seriously, what's with this whole kidnapping Madam Nicin thing right now? Talk about terrible timing. 😠🤣
I’m calling on everyone to just toss this section into the story right now... 😁
After saving Nicin's calls for help, Edward Howard2 stepped out of the saloon just in time to spot an Apache riding hard out of town, staying well out of reach of his lethal Colts. Edward Howard2 just calmly turned the other way and strolled right into the local family gun shop run by the Plavac and Seljačina brothers.
Hey, what's up, buddy? Say hi to Edward Howard2 for me!
"Nothing much... looks like we're cleaning up some dead weight today... ammo's flying fast... but hey, that's just good business," says the local farmer.
By that point, the Apache had already zoomed ahead by about 500 yards...
Max scans the aisles of the shop before speaking up: "Hey, hand me that Whitwort sitting there gathering dust on the wall. I'll pay you once I've checked to see if it actually works."
By that point, William Bennett53 had drifted about a mile outside the city limits and finally eased off the gas once he realized nobody was tailing him...
Max clears the dust out of his rifle, slides a round into the chamber, and steps out onto the street. Leaning his weapon against a nearby lamp post, Max eyes the silhouette of William Bennett53, who’s already drifted about a mile away from the city limits... and mutters under his breath: "Not gonna happen, outlaw."
After a few seconds of dead silence, a gunshot rings out. A moment later, an Apache falls from his horse like he’s been cut down.
graniteharbor502 and shadowstag10 caught sight of that hit and just stared at each other in pure shock, totally unable to believe what they were seeing...
Max hopped on a white horse that was tied up nearby and headed straight for Madam Nicin.
Mrs. rustydrifter10 was clearly shaken up by everything that went down. She just couldn't pull herself together. As soon as he reached her, fast Edward Howard2 hopped down from his white horse, and Mrs. rustydrifter10 just threw her arms around him, sobbing, "Ooooh, Max..."
Edward Howard2 then just calmly replied, "I told you guys you're safe with me... come on... I'm taking you to bed so you can get some rest..."
