Amanda sat on her horse, scanning the valley below her for any sign of another horse and rider. She had been searching for the Bounty Hunter for weeks now with no luck. Her auburn hair had been freed from its braid and she let it blow in the soft breeze as she turned her horse to continue her search.

As Amanda is trotting through the great cool and windy forests of Colorado in the morning sunlight and cool pleasant breeze, She then sees 6 rather tall men in dusters and hats lying near a fire. One is smoking a pipe. Amanda stops and watches from a distance to see what is going on. The 6 guys have these blue bandannas, almost like the color of a comet. The 6 seem to be complaining about something. The one with the pipe speaks up. "God damnit Barton, you said there would be fresh cattle to steal and women to have fun with. But there aint a damn thing here!" And yet you're known as Brainiac Barton....." a man lying in the ground with coffee then speaks up in response. "Well sorry! I made a damn mistake! I will look at the map and try a different way. Jeez, no wonder why you're known as Timebomb Terrance, you have the shortest temper!" TimeBomb Terrance then says, "You best watch what you say boy...you don't want to set me off..." Then another figure leans up from sleeping under his duster. he has brown stubble and a sort of a scratchy British accent. He says, Would you two shut up, it's too early and the bloody mornin' for spattin'!" Terrance responds frightened suddenly. "Oh, right I almost forgot you were here Carnage Crusoe I mean Boss. heh you're right we'll stop. sweatdrop another man sits up with a Winchester in his lap and begins cleaning it. Terrance looks at the figure. "Well look who's up, Silent Sarston. Not talking as much as always I see." Sarston looks up with cold eyes and emotionless face. He goes back to cleaning his Winchester. Then another figure sits up. he is cleaning a bowie knife and smoking a cigar. he has silver eyes and black combed back hair with a curl at the front. "Oh, Manbeast Marrian, I see you're up." Says Terrance. "Yes but I was expecting to wake up with girls begging for mercy at my knees and my fists full of dollars..." Then another man is sitting up with his duster over his shoulders and his hat slanted on his head interrupts Marrian. "Is that all you think about, sex and money.... I swear sometimes you can be-" then they are interrupted by what sounds like a glass mug breaking. They turn around to see what it was. through the dirt being blown around in the gentle breeze, they see shiny black leather riding boots. The continue looking up and then see a tall figure wearing a black coat with a huge collar of dirty tan fur, a black belt around the coat with a loaded .45 in the holster, cranberry red shirt, black vest (you can see some of this behind the folded part of the coat. A hay colored hat with a blue line is slanted and covering this figures eyes. You also see a navy blue neck-scarf around this figures neck. smoke from a cigar blows in the wind's direction. the figure slowly picks his head up. You see these alluring brownish blue eyes and dark brown stubble on this face. The figure speaks with a raspy but soft voice. "Howdy." The figure says with a smile. The 6 guys suddenly stand up and walk to this figure. They are 40 feet away from the figure. "And who might you Bloody be?" Says Carnage Crusoe. The figure then responds, "I'm surprised you don't know me, because I certainly know all of you well..." The figure puffs his cigar. Then he smiles, and looks up at the sun. "You know it sure is a nice day to make a man rich." The figure looks back at them. "W-who are you? w-what are you talking about..?" Says Terrance. The figure smiles again. "Come on now, It's obvious to who are. You're members of the gang I hate most. The Comet Gang. And I know what you all did. Timebomb Terrance. Wanted for Bank-robbing, and cradle-robbing, also cattle wrestling. Brainiac Barton, wanted for planned murder and planned-robbing. Carnage Crusoe, wanted for brutal murder and serial killing. Manbeast Marrian, wanted for rape and human trafficking. Silent Sarston, wanted for silent robbery and silent murdering. And you," the figure says looking at the man that interrupted Marrain. "Cunning Carlos, wanted for cunning cold murder, one of them being someone I loved..." The figure says with a tone full of hatred as he throws his cigar on the ground and then buts it out with his boot/ "Ring any bells...?" "W-wait you're, Quickcrack Keith! one of the most feared Bounty Hunters of the West!" Says Cunning Carlos. Then Terrance laughs. "That’s right I nearly forgot, we killed that precious girl of yours." Terrance has a cold almost insane look. "yes she was quite the kill. It was a shame to see such a beauty riddled by bullets. It's a shame you didn't die too. You really think you can take all 6 of down at once? Members of the comet gang's best outlaws?" Keith then looks down and then back up. "You took everything away from her, and now I'm gonna do the same to you... There aint enough room for people like you in this world.." The wind blows strongly this time as the figures stare each other down. There is a long pause. Then as the 6 outlaws go to draw and point their weapons, Keith quick draws 5 seconds faster, gunning them all down Terrance twirls backwards and ends up leaning on a tree stump. Sarston spins backwards and fires off his Winchester in the air as he falls. Marrain holds his stomach as blood spurts out from a bullet hitting it and falls to his knees dead. Carnage spins and falls dead. Barton spins back and ends up leaning over a downed tree. Carlos's right arm and shoulder jolt backwards from the bullet hitting him in directly in the lung. Keith walks up to them. Carlos tries to crawl to his gun but Keith just blasts him in the back and into the heart. Carlos jolts and then falls dead on his stomach. Keith spins his magnum back into is holster and lights a fresh cigar.

Amanda frowned, hearing the noise of gunshots, and turned her horse towards the noise. The coal black stallion slowed to a walk as they approached the clearing. "I assume you are a bounty hunter. And you are the one who fired those shots." She said with a soft British accent to her speech.
"Maybe you can help a young lady in need on this fine morning.

Keith looks troubled but his hat hides it. He then looks up and sees this rather beautiful young woman on a rather nice horse. "Depends on what the favor is ma'am. What is your intention?" Keith then looks somewhat interested.

"Well. I am looking for a bounty hunter named Keith. I have a job for him... And it's important that I find him soon." She slid from the saddle and pulled a brush from her saddle bag, running it over her mounts glossy coat. "I am willing to pay whatever the cost."

"Well yer looking at him." Keith tips his hat and puffs his cigar. He turns and begins adding their prices on their heads as he points to each. "2,000....4,000...6,000...8,000..... Where do I come in with this sudden offer or yours?" Keith says as his alluring eyes look at the outlaws he gunned down. "10,000.....12,000... 12,000?" Keith looks puzzled for a moment and then suddenly turns around, quick draws, and shoots at a tree. "Augh!" is heard from the tree. leaves suddenly and branches suddenly spaz and then a body that had a rifle pointed to Amanda's head falls from the tree along with the rifle. "14,000" Keith says as he twirls his gun back in his holster. "Hm, and here I thought my adding was off."

"I think we should talk this over while moving. I am on the run from the man I need you to find. And as well I enjoy the occasional gunfire, having a bullet in my head by the Rattle Range Killer isn't something I look forward to." Amanda said sternly, combing her mounts mane while he goes about his business.

Keith picks each body up places the 6 in a wagon and then the 7th one that he gunned down saving Amanda. He gets on this wagon carried by a beautiful mixed bred white horse (I forgot what it was called but I will think of it later. I do know it's really really fast). He makes his horse move and has Amanda follow next to him. "So what's this man like? and why is he after you?"

"He looks like me... only taller... He’s my twin brother. And he killed Papa and Aunty when he got angry one night. He threatened to take my life as well and has made many attempts. The reason he is after me is the money. I now own a huge ranch that my father willed to me. My brother wants it to sell and it won’t happen as long as I am alive. He's been killing people for almost a year now, hunting for me." She explained softly and she braided a few strands of her horse’s mane while riding. "I kept Refuge here and let my cousin take over until I return to the ranch with my brother's dead body and a new husband."

Just as Amanda got done with her story an arrow flies by spooking her Horse. And that’s when Both of the travelers look where the arrow has come from they see Genesee riding on Her Spotted Mustang Nadie with a bow aimed at them while riding bare back.
"Gimme all yer loot!" She demanded with her soft voice. She doesn’t know who any of them are and is just trying to survive.

Amanda gripped Refuge's mane as he reared in fear of the newcomer. She settled her mount and pulled out her father's loaded shotgun, clicking the safety off. "Stand down Indian woman!"

She looks weary of the two of them but reluctantly puts her bow down.
Dancer had woken up from all the commotion and peaked out the side pouch where he sleeps and barked in excitement.

Amanda carefully puts her gun away her gun and steady’s her coal black stallion. The horse responds to her touch and she stares at the woman ahead. "Tell us who you are!"

She looks at Keith then Amanda.
"I'm Genesee, my mustang is Nadie and my pup is Dancer. Who are you two?"

Amanda glanced at Keith before straightening her posture on her horse and flipping her long hair over her shoulder. "My Name is Amanda Gainsworth. My horse is Refuge."

She nods to Amanda but is glaring at Keith now not knowing what he’ll do seeing he didn't lower his guns yet. So Genesee puts her hands up saying I surrender and Dancer growls.

“I am Keith Draco my horse is Lassie. How nice of you to suddenly drop in pointing a bow at us.”

"Keith... She means no harm to us." Amanda spoke lightly before turning to the Indian woman. "We need to get moving. Indian woman. You said your name is Genesee. Correct?"

"Yes that is right...." She said looking at Keith almost thinking if she knew him from somewhere. "Where you heading?"

Amanda thought for a moment before realizing she didn't know their destination. Turning to Keith, she waited for him to answer.

"Well, I suppose." *spins magnum back in holster and lights fresh cigar* "And didn't you say that have outlaw issues Miss Amanda? So we are heading to the nearest town which is Colorado here so I can get a nice hotel room and go to a nice bar to see if I can get any information on this outlaw of yours, to see if he was last seen somewhere. Better to ask questions first before going in after prey guns blazin'." Keith says with a smile.

"You are correct. Well Ms. Genesee. Will you accompany us?" Amanda asked.

Genesee looks at her horse and pup. "If you wish"

The sun is now setting and the cool breezing wind of October hums in the setting sun. They end up heading to this town with the typical saloon, bank, and whatnot. Keith hitches the horses near a hotel. Then he detaches the wagon the horses were pulling and brings it to the side of the hotel. "Well, the best way to start here is take get a nice hotel room to check in to. Then head to the bar. As for you two, you can do whatever pleases you. Now if you don't mind, I got a date with a game of poker. *tips hat and smiles*

Amanda chuckled and went to get a room for her and the Indian woman. She changed into a nice dress and made her way in to the saloon after checking that Genesee was okay. She ordered a round of whiskey for the whole place and took her shot, downing it quickly.

Genesee decided to stay in the room for being stared at awkwardly by many of the men in the saloon and she doesn't feel safe.
Dancer barked loudly excited and stuck to Amandas side for once.

Amanda watched from afar as Keith sat at the poker table. She ordered another round of drinks for the place, but kept her distance from the men around her. They dared not to touch her but she felt their eyes watching her movements.

Keith is sitting at the bar table and orders a class of milk. He starts having a conversation with the bartender. Then he nods, smiles and heads to a table. He then places something under the table and lights a cigar after looking at the door. Then 5 guys masked walk in and demand, "We're lookin' for Quickcrack. We know he's here where is he?! We gots a bone to pick with em'!". Then Keith looks up and says, aw come now. Why ruin a perfect night at a good welcoming saloon. Here how about you walk in and sit with me, have a nice chat? You guys are after all special guests since you're at the center of attention." One shouts, "I'll give you a nice chat!" They suddenly go to draw their pistols but Keith kicks the bottom of the table firing off his gun at them shooting them out the doors. People then look at Keith surprised. Keith then says happily puffing his cigar, "What? They were special guests so I thought I give a special welcome. And after all it is fall right?" The people remain speechless. Keith then takes his magnum that was held up by a magnet under the table. He spins his pistol and then puts it in his holster. Then he takes the magnet and puts it back in his fur-collared coat pocket. He then goes to the bodies and picks them up one by one. Then he gets the fifth outlaw and tips his hat to everybody and tips the bartender. He then walks out.

Amanda stayed a while longer in the saloon, talking to a few men with her charm, and fishing for information about her brother. She made her way back to the in to find Keith and Genesee. Dancer followed her quietly. She sighed as she made it to the room she and Gene were sharing. She had gotten some interesting information on her brother’s whereabouts and it didn't make her happy. She needed to tell Keith first thing in the morning.

Genesee calls dancer over and the pup runs to her side with his tail wagging. "Was everything alright?"

"I am afraid not," Amanda said as she changed into better clothing. "I'm going to go talk to Keith. I found news on my brother and it isn't good at all. Not only am I in more danger but you are as well." She spoke quietly.

After that little event in the bar, Keith went to the sheriff's office and told the sheriff he has some "friends" for him and showed the outlaws in the wagon. Keith puffing happily on his cigar, leans on the wagon and looks at the sheriff who has that "I hate my job" kind of look on him. The sheriff looks at the bodies while sucking on a cigar. He then nods, walks in his office, and then walks out handing Keith the proper amount of money he earned. Keith thanks the sheriff and walks back towards his hotel. However, Keith notices outlaws are following him without even turning around. He continues walking into his hotel room. In his hotel room, there is a coat hanger inside next to the door. He puts his black with brown fur coat on it and places his hat on the top. He then sits on a turnaround chair and has the back facing the door. (goes to outlaw POV) The outlaws, 5 in total, sneakily run to Keith's hotel and creep up the stairs while the desk person is asleep with an "adult" book opened on his face. The outlaws creep up the stairs and find themselves at Keith's door. They then bust it open and begin shooting at his coat and hat. "This is fer shootin' my boys earlier in the bar!" One outlaw shouts. Then this green chair suddenly swings around and it shows Keith with cigar in mouth and gun out aimed the outlaws. He then shoots each of them out of his door and down the stairs. "Honestly, are you guys that stupid to fall for that...?" Keith asks as he slides a hand on his brown slicked back hair. His alluring dirty-gold eyes peer down at the outlaws down the stairs. He looks and sees the desk person fallen off his chair and on the ground with his book on his head. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to take time away from your enjoyment there. Let me just get these out of the way for ya." Keith says as he adjusts his navy blue necktie (or neck scarf), his leather gun black vest, maroon shirt, dark blue jeans, and his hazel gun belt. His Knee-high black rider’s boots stomp away as Keith walks dragging the bodies outside. "I wonder where that beautiful dame went? Oh well, I'm guessing she will show up sooner or later." Keith says as he drags the bodies across the road to the sheriff's office.

Amanda had just finished explaining the information to Genesee and left the Indian woman to sleep. She made her way to the room Keith was supposed to be in and found it empty. With a heavy sigh she leaned went out to see the horses, choosing to wait for the bounty hunter rather than go to her room to sleep. "He had better hurry up" She muttered softly to herself.

Nadie nudged Amanda with her nose and whinnies being hungry and not having much food to eat that she can reach.

Amanda sighed and fed the horses. She waited impatiently for Keith to return. Her nerves were on edge as she waited, constantly looking over her shoulder.

Then when you look over your shoulders, you see a figure with a hat covering his face puffing a cigar. The figure looks up with his alluring brownish blue "Did you miss me?" Keith says with a smile. He goes from leaning on a post and then walks up to you. Since Keith is rather tall, he looks down at you.

"It's about time you showed up." Amanda said. "We’re all in great danger. My brother knows were here. He's out for my head."
