You are a small town nobody from no where heading west to the American frontier. You buy a train ticket with the little money you have left and head to towards a hopeful future. When you enter the train you look around for a place to sit. There is an almost empty booth with one person sleeping with their head next to the window and a booth with a couple of people talking to each other a woman, and two men, one with a really big beard and no teeth, and the other smoking a cigar.
Where do you sit?
[[Sit across from the Sleeper]]
[[Sit with the group of people]]You decide to sit across from the person sleeping and for some reason you have a feeling that everyone is staring at you. You know the train ride will be long so you think of what to do, to kill some time. You have a deck of cards in your bag which is about the only in there, besides two other pairs of clothing, some dried food and an envelope. What do you do?
[[Go to Sleep]]
[[Play Solitaire]]
[[Open Envelope]]You decide to sit in the crowded booth. You inroduced yourself but the sound of the train whitsle made it impossible to be heard. Just when you were gonna try again you are inturupted by one of the men with a huge beard and almost no teeth.
"Hey, I know you."
You reply "you do?"
"Nope, you look about as forgetable as a dried up body in a ditch"
what?
The table explodeds with laughter and your face is as red as a tomato all you can do is smile.
[[Leave the Booth]]
or
[[Stand up for yourself]]You decide it be better to sleep and so you lean your head against the window and close your eyes.
3 hours in your are woken up by the conductor checking tickets. He notices that your ticket is going all the way to the end and wishes you luck considering that its going to take days to get there.
You look around and notice that its getting darker and people are sleeping. You see that the booth with the people laughing are gone except for a woman with red hair which you make eye contact with, she smiles and moves towards your booth.
She sits next to you and introduceds herself as Ruby. You try to introduce yourself are inturupted by the conductor asking for her ticket. She looks over at the Sleeper infront of you and asks if you want to go to a more private booth.
[[Follow her]]
[[Stay in the same Booth]]You begin to play solitaire on the table infront of you and 30 minutes in you are yet to win a game. You sigh in frustration and Sleeper infront of you asks you to keep it down. He slighty opens his eyes and tells you play a different game if you don't know how to play.
[[Ask him to mind his own buisness]]
[[Put the cards away]]You find a mysteries enveloped in your bag and decide to open it. It reveals a letter from your parents asking you not to leave. You don't want to continue reading so you put it away. You being to tear up as memmories of your family play in your head but you take a deep breath and put the envelope in your bag. The Sleeper infront of you wakes up and asks you to keep it down
[[Ask him to mind his own buisness]]You decide to snap back with your own insult.
"well your face is as hairy as wild boars ass"
Dead silence fills the coach...
The man looks at you with narrowed brows and then with the only four teeth left in his gums he gives you a smile and a slap on the back.
"Thats what I like to see some back bone"
You sit with them and begin to talk. You learn that thay are also heading west. The man with hairy face and four teeth is called Feral, the woman across from you is named Ruby due to her red hair and the man next to her is named Lefty.
Which makes you wonder.
"Do they call you lefty because you use your left hand" as you notice him smoking his cigar with his let hand.
Lefty: "That and because I lost my left testicle in a duel."
[[Laugh]]
Silence fills the coach but there are only shocked faces all around. Which makes you realize you made a fatal mistake.
Lefty blows his cigar smoke towards your direction and pulls out a Big Iron from his hip and aims it towards you.
Lefty:"You find that funny?"
[[Yes, I think it is hilarious my sides were hurting-> You Die]]
[[Kind of, the fact that you are left handed throught me off and your delivery made me think you were joking.-> You Live]]
[[No, not at all. I am sorry, I did not know, please lets talk about it.-> You Die]]
[[Not anymore, but are you sure you want to shot me right here infront of everyone.-> You Live]]
You get up and move towards the booth with person sleeping, while you still hear the laughter from the other booth.
[[Sit across from the Sleeper]]You've made Lefty mad. He rushes and grabs you hair slaming your head on the table. He grads his cigar and puts it out on your cheek and puts his Big Iron on the side of your head. Everyone is startled and it doesn't look like anyone is going to help you.
Sadly this is the end of the line for you. Lefty looks down at you at says
"Any last words."
Just before you can open your mouth he pulls the trigger and paints the table infront with your blood.
The endLefty holsters his Big Iron and cracks a laugh, making the rest of the table laugh nervously.
Lefty: " You sure ain't no yellow belly; I like that."
You continue to have laughs with them and hours later the two men decide to go somewhere and ask you to come with them.
[[Decline]]
[[Accept]]You follow her to her booth and she asks where you are heading. You say west and she says aren't we all. She says she is heading west to run away from her past and hopes to succeed.She asks about what you want to do when you reach your destination.
[[Make as much Money as possible]]
[[Settle Down and find a partner]]She asks where you are heading. You say west.She says aren't we all. She says she is heading west to run away from her past and hopes to succeed. She asks about what you want to do when you reach your destination.
[[Make as much Money as possible]]
[[Settle Down and find a partner]]The Sleeper apoligizes...
[[...]]Double-click this passage to edit it.With a gloom expression on her face asks if thats all you really care about. You express that you don't have much to begin with so money is the top priority at the moment.
"I see" she says
She notices that the two other men have returned so she gets up, wishes you luck on your travel. They grab their stuff and move to the next coach cart.
[[Go after her]]
[[Stay in the booth]]She smiles and says she hopes to do the same once she feels free from her past. You look at her for a second and notice a twikle in her eye, her rosey cheeks and smile that takes your breath away. She notices you and asks if you're ok.
You look away for a second and notice the two men whom she was sitting with are back. She notices as well and so she gets up. She looks back at you and gives you one last smile and says she hopes you find what you are looking for.
[[Grab her hand]]
[[Go after her]]
[[Stay in the booth]]You start getting out of your booth when the Sleeper infront of you says
"You'd be better off not going after that woman."
[["What do you mean?"]]
[["Mind your own buisness"]]You garb her hand before she leaves the booth. She jumps from fright and looks back at you. You look up into her hazel aeyes. She leans in and whispers.
Ruby: "What are you doing?"
[[Not letting go of whom I'm looking for]]
[[I don't know, let go.]]Sleeper: "Listen I'm only doing this so you don't become an issue later. That woman there is Ruby Rodriguez and she is a part of a gang of Banditos and those men she is with are her compadres. That hairy man is Feral Fernandez and the guy with the cigar Lefty, the leader of the group."
Sleeper:" I'd suggest moving to a different coach before you blow my cover"
[[You're a Sheriff?]]
[[Really? Can I help?->Help the Sleeper]]
[[Follow the Ruby]]
[["What do you mean?"]]You might want to work on your whipering because the entire Coach just heard you...including the Banditos, they now know that there is a sheriff aboard the train so they have no other choice but to reveal themselves.
The Sleeper slowly gets up from his seat minding no attention to your fuck up and confronts the banditos
[[Run]]
[[Grab your bag and through it to the Bandits]]You tell him you want to make a great deal of money. You tell him that you come from a small town in the middle of no where and you want to make it big. He smiles and says thats no very different from the people in the train. He continues and says he worries that people, in the search for fame and money, change and do terrible things.
The Sleeper:" Would you do whatever it takes to reach this goal of yours?"
[[Of course, this is my only chance and you only have one life]]
[[Honest work and dedication is all I need]]
He stares you down and asks if you know that that th west is a dangerous place filled with outlaws and uncertainty. He asks if you are willing to put your life on the line for the chance to find this person and make it work in a unforgiving wasteland?
[[Yeah, no matter what]]The Sleeper asks why you are heading west.
[[To Make Money]]
[[To settle down in the west and find someone]]The Sleeper stays silent and closes his eyes going back to sleep.
You decide to do so as well and fall to sleep.
[[Bang Bang]]The Sleeper:"Good on you...say why don't you help me out with something."
[[Sure thing->"What do you mean?"]]You go and grab your bag and as soon as you do the Sleeper says
Sleeper:"Trust me there Peanut, you don't want anything to do with that woman."
[["What do you mean?"]]
[["Mind your own buisness"]]Ruby smiles and tells you to find somebody better and less troublesome.
[[Nonsense, I know you're the one.]]
[[What are you saying?]]The Sleeper:" Hmmm maybe you can help me out with something"
[["What do you mean?"]]The Sleeper thinks for a moment and realizing that having you as back up in case things get hairy isn't that bad of an idea.
The Sleeper: "Sure I could use the help, but you must follow my every command"
He hands you a revolver distrectly under the table and you tuck behind your back.
[[OK]]You wake up to the sound of gun shots and you are not sure what is going on. The coach you are in is completly empty and then suddently a man slams open the door of the coach collapsing on the floor dropping a gun. It's the man with the big beard sitting in the crowded booth. Another man enters the coach...
It's the Sleeper. He is also wounded and is approaching you.
[[Run away from him]]
Lefty looks at you an demands that you follow him.
[[Accept]]You follow Lefty and Feral to an empty coach. You stand in the middle of the coach and here Lefty leans on your shoulder and asks you if you want to make some money.
[[Of course, why else would I head to undiscovered lands, if not for the search of fortune]]
[[What do you have in mind?]]Lefty has a wide grin on his face. He pats your back and Feral pulls out a revolver and hands it to you.
Lefty:" We're gonna hold up this train and all the passengers veluables"
[[Oh boy this sounds exciting]]
[[Are you Serious?]]We're gonna hold up this train and take all money we can take from the passengers.
[[Are you Serious?]]
[[Oh boy this sounds exciting]]You decide to follow Ruby but you are stopped by the man with the big beard. He asks what you want with Ruby, but before you can say a word he interupts and tells you it'd be better you go back to your booth.
[[Assert yourself]]
[[Go back to your booth]]You decide to run and are instantly gunned down by Feral and Lefty.
YOU ARE DEADYou wait a couple of hours and there is yet to be a movement from the Banditos. Then The Sheriff notices that the Banditos have fallen asleep and signals for you to get your weapon ready.
[[*Deep Breath*]]Start to run away and get to the opposite coach and open the door only see another man with a gun. He quickly aims his gun towards you and you try to shut the door behind you. However, he fires 4 shots which sadly go straight throught he wooden door and hit you on the shoulder and below the belly and your thigh.
You crawl away from the door and the The Sleeper hides behind a booth and asks you to crawl towards him. With no other choice you crawl.
[[Crawl]]You looked confused and shocked at the same time, you let out a small luagh, but you see the Lefty's face is serious.
Lefty: "Is there a problem?"
[[I don't think I can do this]]
[[No, not at all. You can count me in.->Oh boy this sounds exciting]]You grab the revolver and you tuck it behind your back. Lefty tells you to wait for his signal and to either go back to your seat or join them at their booth.
Lefty:"What's it gonna be?"
[[Back to your booth]]
[[Join their booth]]Lefty doesn't like the sound of that and now that he has told you his plan he can't have you return to your booth...
So he and Feral grab you and open a window. You kick and try to fight back but they overwhelm you. They pick you up and through you out the train falling face first you die on impact in a ditch.
Your body stays there and dries up becoming nothing but food for the animals.
YOU ARE DEADYou head back to your booth and you're still thinkning if this is a good idea. You knew that if you decline they would of had to get rid of you.
Are you still willing to go trough with it?
[[Yes->Sleep]]
[[No]]You join their booth and you're still thinkning if this is a good idea. You knew that if you decline they would of had to get rid of you.
Are you still willing to go trough with it?
[[Hell yeah]]
[[Maybe not]]The Sleeper infront of you wakes up.
The Sleeper: "You dodge a bullet there, but I'd suggest moving to another coach or getting off at the next stop"
[["What do you mean?"]]You grab your bag as quickly as you can and manage to fling towards the Banditos. You hit Lefty and in this moment The Sheriff draws his gun and hits Feral on the chest flinging his gun in the air landing next to you.
[[Grab gun Dead Mans Gun]]Ruby looks at you tells you, you're crazy.
[[ Am I->What are you saying?]]She grabs your hand takes you to another coach.
[[Enter other coach]]You tell him you are here to see Ruby not his wild pig face. He looks at you for a second and then laughs.
Bearded man: "Your sure have a back bone. Ruby you know this person?"
Ruby: "I was just talking to him while you guys were gone."
The other man with a Cigar looks at you and Ruby looks at him.
Cigar Man: "Ruby I think this person has something to tell you." as he smiles and puffs him smoke in your direction.
Ruby gets up, grabs your hand and moves you to another coach.
[[Enter other coach]]You sit back in your seat, only to have The Sleeper tell you...
The Sleeper:"That woman there is only trouble I'd suggest you stay away from her"
[["What do you mean?"]]She tells you to forget her if you want to live. She explains that she is a part of a gang of banditos and that this train is gonna be robbed.
[[If your not interested just tell; no need to lie]]
[[haha...are you serious?]]You start shaking your leg as you sit in your both wondering how you can warn the train without getting stopped by Lefty asking where you're going.
However while wondering what to do The Sleeper wakes up and starts whispering at you.
The Sleeper: "Hey, is something wrong?"
[[Yeah, I'm Ok]]
[[We're in trouble->Tell him]]You are fully pumped for the heist and can't wait. Lefty says to get some rest and wait for the signal.
[[Sleep]]You decide maybe it isn't good a good idea and ask if you could move back to your seat to have more control of the coach when Lefty gives the signal. Lefty looks at you and agrees to let you go.
[[Back to your booth]]
The Sleeper:" Let me tell you that I can read your face and body language and it's far from OK"
[[Tell him]]You fall asleep and are woken up by Feral and tells you its time. Yall look around and the whole coach seems to be sleeping. Feral hands you a bandana and you wrap it around your face. Lefty says to try to pitpocket the most you can and if you get spotted to simply shout to be more agressive letting us know to do the same.
[[Begin the pickpocket]]You make it have way to the coach when the door behind you begins to open. The Sleeper fires a couple of shots to warn off the other man and reaches his hand towards you. Your vision begins to get fuzzy and you know you might not make it. While in your hazey sate you spot the Dead Mans Gun.
[[Grab Dead Mans Gun]]
[[ Reach for Sleeper's Hand]]You go for the Dead Mans Gun and lean against a seat. You tell the Sleeper to hide and wait for you to attack. He looks at you and can see that you are on your last breaths and understands.
The Sleeper hides and the door with bullet holes begins to open; you hide your gun. A revolver peeks the coach and is followed by the left arm of the man who shot you. He looks around and sees you and the Dead Man on the floor. He holsters his weapon thinking you aren't a threat and asks you what happend to the Dead Man.
[[Stay silent]]You reach for The Sleepers hand and he pulls you in. He asks if you are ok, but with the expression he give as he looks at your wounds; you know that you're not gonna make it. All you can do is hear is a faint soothing voice of The Sleeper telling you to rest and to let go. As you close your eyes The Sleeper sets you down as your face looks towards the celing you realize that your not gonna reach your end goal, but for some reason it didn't matter to you.
You see The Sleeper shoot some rounds but your vision fadeds and you slowly let go.
YOU DIEDThe man pull outs a cigar and lights it up; he squats near you and takes a big hit of the cigar blowing his smoke towards you.
Cigar Man: "Well if you're not gonna tell me then let me put you out of your mesire."
As he puts out his cigar on your cheeck you pull the Dead Mans Gun and quickly aim it under his chin. The Sleeper jumps out and aims his own gun.
The Sleeper: " Alright there Lefty, put your hands up, slowly."
Lefty:"Alright there, no need to do anything rash."
You look up to him and with his life in your hands.
[[Shoot]]
[[Let the Sleeper take care of the situation]]You are overtaken by rage and dizziness and pull the trigger of the revolver...
*click*...*click*click*click*
You completely forgot to check for bullets and now a pissed off Lefty grabs you by the neck and uses you as a shield. He pulls his gun and the sheriff trys to stop him but he puts a bullet through your head ending what little life you had left.
YOU DIEDThe Sheriff moves over to Lefty and cuffs him. He then squats next to you.
The Sheriff: " Good job kid you did a good job helping me out. Thanks to your help we've managed to capture this good for nothing. I only wish I could so something about your wounds.
"It's alright I was hoping I would make it to the end my goal but it seems that I slept too long, funny though... It seems I'll be heading back to sleep now."
The Sleeper: " Don't worry kid your help won't be forgotten, you've not only helped those who this man has hurt and murdered but you've also stopped him from doing it again...Now get some rest."
YOU DIE A HEROYou tell him about the Bandits and their plan and he replies,
The Sleeper: "I knew it."
"UH"
The Sleeper:"Listen kid, I'm an undercover sheriff and I know all about that gang of misfits over there."
Really [[then what are you doing]] to stop them.
You grab the gun and aim it towards the Banditos. Ruby looks at you with a sad expression and pulls out a gun of her own knowing there is no way out of this.
There are two targets infront of you Ruby and Lefty.
Who do you shoot?
[[Shoot Ruby]]
[[Shoot Lefty]]You move your sight towards Ruby and shoot off 3 rounds, the moment feels slow and you can hear the screams of passengers in the coachs. Ruby's body falls and makes a loud thud as she hits the floor.
At the same moment Lefty takes aim at you flinch at the incoming shots
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
You open your eyes and see that Lefty is on the floor. The sheriff had stopped Lefty with two shots, but then a sudden warmth fills the lower left of under belly. You touch it and looks you hand revealing blood.
[[FALL BACK]]You aim your gun towards Lefty pull the trigger and hammer multiple times sending three rounds towards Lefty unable to do anything all three shots land on his chest sending him back against the window and landig on the table infornt of him.
In this moment the sheriff had takne aim at Ruby but noticed that she put her weapon down and decided not to shoot. He then walks towards her stepping over the bodies and cuffing her.
[[Wait]]
[[Let Her Go]]You fall back against the window and The Sheriff walks over to check on you. He looks at your wound tells you to keep pressure on it, but the sight of the wound makes you faint.
You then wake up in a room filled with other injured people, a doctor walks over and tells you to get up slowly. He tells you that your in a newly built town and that The Sheriff who you helped asked to take care off you and appoint you Sheriff of the town since it was in need of one.
The Doctor says you were lucky not to get hit anywhere imporant that you could start keeping the peace whenever you wanted.
YOU WERE APPOINTED SHERIFFYou shout for the sheriff to wait, he looks back and asks what you think you are doing. Ruby looks at you runnig make up on her face and tells you to forget her.
[[Let her go]]You watch as the Sheriff chains her to a table and as soon as you make it to a town he takes her to a local jail until they await for a transfer wagon or train.
The Sheriff walks up to you...
The Sheriff: " You did good in there, that man has tormented so many people in the past few years and you brought justice to them and their families. I would love to have a gunslinger like yourself by my side."
[[Join Sheriff]]
[[Decline and continue heading West]]You decide to join the Sheriff and help him on his journey of bringing in bandits and the two of you are well known in the west. Your goal has lead you to a life of crime fighting making it exciting and rewarding.
YOU HAVE BECOME DEPUTYYou decide to decline the sheriff's offer and decide to continue going west to the unknown. You get on a train again the next day and are deciding where to sit...
YOU CONTINUE WEST
[[Banditos and Sheriffs]]The Sheriff laughs and tells you to sit down and that you must not be thinking straight after that gun fight. You ask him to reconsider and that Ruby isn't as bad as she might be though to be. You explain how she didn't shot a single bullet. The sheriff hesistant checks Ruby's Revolver and finds it to be empty.
He asks Ruby to explain and she says that she was kidnapped by Lefty when she was a young woman and was forced to play as harlot, lost girl and other roles to lure people in for Lefty. She did not have a choice, or else Lefty would beat her.
The Sheriff is not sure about what to make of this but you try to convince him to let her be with you. At first he doesn't approve, but you make a deal with him. Once you reach the far reaches of the west you will settle down and start a new life with Ruby. There no one would know who she is and what she has done and The Sheriff can visit to see how things are.
[[Uncuffed]]The Sheriff uncuffs Ruby and tells you to move to anotehr coach and hide...
The Sheriff: "The Train will make a stop at the next town; there I will drop off the bodies then I will travel with you and make sure you don't try anthing until you reach where you want to settle down."
Ruby: "Oh thank you sheriff, and thank you... wait what's your name."
" My name is *train whistle*"
Ruby: "What!"
"I said my name is J-!"
Ruby: "Oh doesn't matter what your name is, your my hero."
"Sure, why not Hero it is"
The train continues west on the tracks as it heads towards the sun-set and our story comes to an end
YOU SETTLED WESTRuby: "I'm not lying alright!"
"haha I knew it... wait what part?
Ruby: "Well both, I mean.. uuuh. Listen thats not the point you need to get out of here"
" Why don't you come with me then?"
Ruby: "I can't I'll be hunted down and either be beaten or killed."
You peek through the wooden door of the coach and see the two men are looking at your direction.
[[Let's Go]]Ruby: "Yes I am you need to go"
"Come with me"
Ruby: "Don't be rediculous, if I don't get back soon they'll come looking for me and then we'll be in trouble."
You peek through the wooden door of the coach and see the two men are looking at your direction.
[[Let's Go]]You look into Ruby's eyes and with comlete anttention you tell her you want to be with her, bandits or no bandits.
Ruby: "Are you serious?"
"Don't you want this life to end and start a new"
Ruby with a second dicision hugs you and says she has been waiting years for someone to ask her that.
"Alright then let's go"
Ruby:"But about our stuff"
[[Forget it]]
You and Ruby decide to forget your belongins and head down to the other coach away from the men. There you decide what to do.
"How are we gonna get away from those men?"
Ruby: "We could detach the coaches, giving us time and space from my former colleagues, or we can hit the emergency breaks and sneak away into the wild."
[[Emergency Breaks]]
[[Detach Coaches]]You decide to hit the emergency breaks sending both you and Ruby to the floor, quickly the both of you get up and exit the train and head towards the woods. The Passengers of the train all pop their heads through the windows wondering what is going on.
You and Ruby run further into the woods and as you look back you hear gun shots. Ruby and yourself come across a dirt road and wonder if yall should keep heading forwards into the woods or hide and wait until a wagon passes by.
[[Hide and Wait]]
[[Into the Woods]]You detach the coaches with some resistance and the conductor has yet to notice it. From a distance you can see the men open the coach door and start shouting an shooting, but it's too late the train has left them in the dust.
You continue on the train util you reach a large town. Here you decide to settle down and start a new life with Ruby under different names.
You then hear that the men on the train were arrested by an undercover sheriff, you look for a newspaper about it and the person who arrested them was The Sleeper in your booth. You wonder what would of happen if you didn't talk to Ruby, maybe things could of gone bad if you didn't escape with her.
Ruby thanks you for helping her out, she didn't know if her whole life was gonna be controlled by those men and she hopes to live a life of peace.
YOU FOUND YOUR ONEYou hide and wait for a wagon and ask for a ride. They take you to a small town and here you and Ruby begin you lives as farmers. It's a simple and quite life. You start of small and build your own place. You make friends with the locals and everyone enjoys your company
You and Ruby grow old and are never bother by anyone. Everyday Ruby thanks you for what you did and the both of you die in peace buried next to each other.
REST IN PEACEYou decide to continue into the woods but never reach another road or town. You decide to rest in a cave, the both of you rest in each others arms, but are then awoken to the sound of growling wolves infront of you.
They block you exit there is no where to go. You look at Ruby and give her a kiss.
"I love you Ruby"
Ruby:"I love you too"
The wolves leap towards Ruby, but you sheild her from them. They sink their fangs in legs and back pulling you down.They drag you away from Ruby and you can hear her screams behind you. You look back to see a wolves fangs in throat as she still continue to scream. The wolve yanks her throat off filling it't mouth full of her red blood. A wolve then does the same to you as you kick and scream for help you realize it's hopeless and your story ends here.
YOU WERE MAULED TO DEATHYou decide to pickpocket the sleeper from your booth. You've never done this before but you reach into his coat to find a wrapper and some spare change. You check his other pocket and find his wallet as you open it a sudden dread falls on you and before you can say something the sleeper wakes up and has gun under your chin. You drop the wallet on table revealing that the sleeper was actually a sheriff.
The Sheriff: "What the hell do you think you're doing kid."
[[SHUT IT OLD MAN->EXPOSED]]
[[Please don't.->EXPOSED]]You get up and pull out your revolver, you make your way next to The Sheriff and he lifts his index finger up to his mouth.
The Sheriff: "sshhhh"
*Nod*
He hands you a pair of cuffs and tells you to remove Ferals weapons and cuff him to the the booths support.
You get near Feral, and his snoring exhales the worse smell imaginable making you almost puke.
You reach for his weapons while the Sheriff does the same to Lefty, and eventhough you've never done this you manage to unarm Feral. The Sheriff succeeds as well and gives you a thumbs up.
The Sheriff: *Whispers*"Now we cuff them as quick as possible."
[[Cuff]]The Sheriff:"I've been tailing them for months now and I've followed them to this train I'm waiting for them to fall asleep and then take them in."
"How are you gonna take them in by yourself?"
The Sheriff thinks for a moment then looks at you
The Sheriff: "Well maybe you can help me out. Right now they think you're on their side."
[[You're Right->OK]]You have now alerted the rest of the group and they begin to shout and even with all the chaos going on behind you The Sheriff is yet to break eye contact with you. You set your gun on the table slowly.
The Sheriff: "You trying to pickpocket me kid? Go head grab my wallet."
"Alright let me reach for it"
You reach for the wallet and the sheriff pulls back the hammer on his revolver.
The Sheriff: "Go head read what it says outloud to your compadres."
[[Wallet]]"This permit authorizes Arizona Ranger Sleeper complete Sheriff status in 4 states"
The Sheriff: "Continue"
Lefty, Feral, and Ruby all look in your direction, sweat on their brows and wide eyes as their plan is starting to fall apart.
"This is due to his excellent record of 50 captures and 50 plus men taken out. Singed..."
Lefty: "Who is signed by?!"
"The president of the United States"
[[Horse shit]]Lefty: "I don't believe you."
You chuck the wallet towards him; in that split second the sheriff grabs your gun on the table pushes you on to the floor and dual wields unloading rounds towards Feral and Ruby.
Lefty dives off to the side and Ruby and Feral are hit with all the rounds ending there life's. you see Ferals gun land near you.
[[Grab Dead Feral's Gun]]
You decide to go for the Dead Man's Gun. You crawl lean against a seat and manage to grab Feral's Gun. You hear the sounds of shells hitting the ground and you take the moment to get up and head towards an exit, but as you get up both Lefty and the Arizona Ranger peek and take aim at each other. caught in the middle you have a choice.
[[Help Arizona Ranger]]
[[Help Lefty]]
[[Duck again]]You decide that while you might survive, with or without injuries, you'll never be able to escape the law and so you hope the Arizona Ranger will forgive your actions if you help him out.
"Well it seems that we're in a bit of a stand off"
Arizona Ranger:"It appears that way."
Lefty:"I don't know what you mean I know we have that Ranger outnumbered."
"Yeah it sure looks that way, but how about I move and not get in the crossfire."
The Sheriff pulls the hammer on the gun he has aiming towards you and while Lefty has an eye on the sheriff you wink at the sheriff hoping he gets your signal. You swing your gun towards Lefty, but he sees you coming as well.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* [[*BANG*]]You decide that you're pretty much left with no other option than to help Lefty. Hopefully you can escape and make a run for it to the west.
"Well it seems that we're in a bit of a stand off"
Arizona Ranger:"It appears that way."
Lefty:"I don't know what you mean? I know we have that Ranger outnumbered."
"Yeah it sure looks that way, but how about I move and not get in the crossfire."
You start moving and the Ranger pulls the hammer on the gun aimed at you. You look over at Lefty and wink. He smiles and in with a whistle from the train. The room erupts with the sounds of gun shots.
Overwhelmend the Arizona Ranger falls infront of you both.
[[*Sigh*]]The wind passing through the bullet holes and shatterd windows make a ominous howling sound. The blood of Ruby and Feral are creatinng a puddle in the coach and the stares between you three narrow in seconds, which feel like hours.
The train blows its whistle and you imidiately hit the floor covering your head.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Bullets fly over you as more wood shrapnel hits the bloody floor, and then you hear the sound of two bodies hitting the floor. You look to your left and right see both The Arizona's body and Lefty's body not moving.
You decide this is the moment when you leave the coach. You reach for bag and head towards the nearest door. You reach for the wooden door riddled with bullet holes and you reach for the handle.
[[Grab!]]You manage to get one shot off, and thankfuly the Arizona Ranger knew to unload onto Lefty landing three shots. Lefty had also unloaded two rounds one hitting you on the shoulder and the other barely hitting your ear lobe.
You fall back, but manage to stay up.
"Thanks for not shooting me, how did you know I was gonna turn on him."
Arizona Ranger:" I didn't, I just knew that I needed to take out Lefty first. Also judging by how you were holding your weapon I knew you were gonna miss no matter who you aimed at. Thanks for the distraction though."
"Oh...does this mean I can get a pardon for my actions?"
The Arizona Ranger turns and [[Stares]] at you.Just when you were gonna grab the handle something grabs your leg....
It's the Arizona Ranger, he's still alive and only suffer a shot to the shouler.
Arizona Ranger: "Where do you think your going kid?"
[[Surrender]]
[[Shoot the Ranger]]Arizona Ranger: " Well considering that no other crime besides pickpocketing took place on your side, a 500 dollar fine should take care of that."
"I don't have that type of money!"
Arizona Ranger:"Well consider yourself lucky you didn't die and even more that I was only here for those misfits. Time in jail should be the thing to teach you a lesson on try to rob innocent people."
The train stops at the next town and you are sentenced to 18 months in jail for failing to pay the fine.
YOU ARE IN JAIL...but you get to live.You surrender and Ranger thanks you for not trying anything.
"Well I guess I'm gonna be hanged right?"
[[Stares]]You reach for your gun and try to take out the Ranger and make your escape... however you are too slow for the Ranger's swiftness which is still talked about this day as he aimed his Big Iron from his hip and blew the cap off your head.
THE ARIZONA RANGER WINS AGAINYou let out a sigh of releave not noticing you got shot on the leg you try to make your way towards Lefty, who got only got shot on the shoulder, to ask what to do next.
"We sure made a fool of that Ranger, huh?
Lefty:"We sure did, four state sheriff my ass."
You look at Lefty and he looks at you and notices your wound.
Lefty:"He got you good didn't he?"
"Yeah, you too huh, I guess he wasn't all talk."
Lefty doesn't say anything and lifts his gun towards your face
[["What the hell Lefty"]]Lefty:"What do you mean, this whole mess is your fault. I lost my crew and your nothing but dead weight for me with that wound."
"You can be serious"
Lefty:"No, I'm dead serious"
*BANG*
YOU DIED TO LEFTYYou both manage to cuff the two and they wake up suddenly.
The Sheriff not forgetting about Ruby pulls his revolver out and aims at Ruby telling her to get up.
Lefty jumps up and shouts
Lefty:"What the hell do you think you're doing."
Feral jolting out of his sleep
Feral:"What's going on is it time to rob the train."
The Sheriff:"I know who yall are and I've been chasing you for a while now.That confession your friend there exlpains it all and thanks to the help of this individual here I was able to capture yall with ease."
Lefty:"You motherfucker, I swear when I get out of these cuffs your a dead man."
[[I don't think thats gonna happen]]Lefty enraged shouts and kicks trying to escape, but the sheriff smacks him with his revolver and tells him he better settle down.
The Sheriff:"You know I wouldn't of been able to capture them all without your help. Thank you."
He extends his arm towards you anad you shake.
The train continues and on the next stop the Sheriff gets off and with you by his side you put the Banditos behind bars.
The Sheriff:"You know I could use a set of hands like yourself on my travels. What do you say?"
[[Join Sheriff]]
[[Decline and continue heading West]]
