It was a quiet day on the streets of the town. (Name? Still working on it. Serenity- taken. Whitewash city – taken. Badgerville?) Sheriff Gordon West was walking the streets, and all was well. Miss Steffie was across the street, trying to drum up some business for her ‘baths’ by showing some leg. The old prospector Julius was cackling out front of the saloon.
Oh, that’s why. Preacher Blair was up on the balcony of the hotel, practicin’ his Sunday sermon. Yep, all was right in the world, until Sheriff West turned the corner.
Standing in front of the bank were 2 banditos, armed for bear! Sheriff West recognized the surly outlaw with the rifle, it was none other than Juan Herrera. Side-kick and right-hand man to the notorious villain Jake Rodriguez! It had to be a bank heist.
Sheriff West didn't have time to waste. He figured to draw down on Juan, order him to drop the rifle. But the dice sometimes roll just the right way… Instead of a warning shot, West drilled Juan right through the middle! There goes the gangs heavy firepower, groanin and moanin in the street! (Not the most sporting start. Sheriff didn't exactly follow the code of the west there. But it
was an amazing shot at long range…)
Well, now the alarm has been raised. The rest of the gang starts boiling out of the bank, carrying heavy bags of gold loot. Young Chad Hansen, left on guard outside with Juan, starts running in the wrong direction. You idiot! We stashed the horses on the other edge of town!
Deputy Kurt Fields was hanging out in the Sheriff’s office with his two buddies Lucas Estrada and Jody Hall. Kurt grabbed his double-barrel shotgun, Lucas his rifle, and Jody checked that both 6-guns were loose in his holsters. The shot told them something was up. Popping out of the office, Kurt and Jody headed straight up the street while Lucas decided to flank to the left. This was a fateful decision for Lucas…
Sheriff West also realized that moving right down Main street wasn’t the wisest choice. Knowing his deputy was alerted, he decided to race around back of the hotel and come up behind the bank. But what’s this? Preacher Blair has raced into the middle of the street, speechifying at the top of his lungs about the evils of murder. Right out in the middle like that he’s spoiling everybody’s shots! Doc McCarthy (out of view) had been playing poker with the deputies and walks out front to see the show.
But what of our other civilians? The Barkeeper and the Prospector are just watching for now, but Miss Steffie has to get involved. She rushes up to Lucas as he tries to flank the outlaws. Using her feminine wiles, and bountiful cleavage, she convinces Lucas that the Sheriff will be fine without him. Lucas decides it’s time for a bath.
And they head away from the fight.
