As soon as Gigi entered the room, Ms T motioned for her to be quiet. "Lock the door. Did you mean what you said about helping me?"

Gigi's eyes widened. "You bet. What do you need?"

The Army came and picked up Darkpoet's body. They were taking it back to Fort Smith, for burial. Major Hendrics, tipped his hat to Miss Bessie and she nodded back. The shipment of guns was coming tonight.

At the fort, Darkpoet was buried with full Militry honors. After it was over, Major Hendrics told his men what to do. They went about, getting the shipment ready.

Ms T slid the heavy revolver over to Gigi. "Take this, you don't have to be accurate with it. When the shipment comes in I want you to deal with Miss Bessies two henchmen. Lock them in the pantry, don't put yourself in danger. If they make any moves, shoot them." Ms T opened the door, peeked out in the hallway and left without anyone seeing her. She made her way over to the saloon and found a good hiding spot outside the back entrance.

When Mae brought the return message, her face was white as a sheet. She handed it to Loner, Kramor could see the tears in her eyes, when she handed it to him. He was shocked, Dp was dead.
"Loner get me some more bandages. I want to really wrap this up, so I can ride. T, is going to need help."

Gigi picked up the revolver, remembering the last time she had used one... She took aim at her image in the mirror, and smiled. Then lowered the gun, and hurried down to the saloon.

Loner was hesitant. "I don't think you should," she said. "I can go just as easily." Though the thought of leaving him in a brothel wasn't too appealing...

From her vantage point Ms T saw the wagon pull up to the saloon. The driver and one of the guards went around to the front of the saloon to have some drinks. Bessie was talking to one of the guards, the one who seemed to be in charge.T could hear her. "Now that I got rid of that nosy sheriff, his deputy's busy trying to find someone to take over. Bring those crates inside boys." She then went inside.
Ms T saw 3 guards. She waited until two were inside and then came up on the third.
"Why hello there little lady...."The grin disappeared as he saw the gun.
"You move or make a sound and you're dead." Ms T motioned for him to stand by the wagon. She cuffed him to the wheel and stuffed a gag in his mouth. She cautiously went to the backdoor.

Gigi sat nervously in a corner of the bar, revolver in her hand beneath the table, whisky sitting on the table untouched. She saw the two men at the bar glance her way. As one of them got up and walked towards her, she saw Miss Bessie disappear out of the back door.

The man leered at her. "How's about a drink, sweetheart?"

Gigi pulled the revolver on him. "Maybe later. For now... I want you to get in the pantry. Don't make any sudden movements. I'm very nervous, I don't want to accidentally kill you. That goes for you too," she called to the man at the bar.

"Ah no, you are not going by yourself. We are going together, I'm not letting you out of my sight. Unless I'm dead. Please get the bandages, I'll be alright. I do have your guns in my saddle bags also."

"What the hell," said Mae, who was still standing there. "You BOTH could use some help out there. I'll be right back."

She returned momentarily with the requested bandages, as well as her shotgun. "Soon as you're set there, we can go," she said.

Ms T waited until one of the remaining guards came out and pointed her gun at him. "Don't move."
The man smiled and went for his pistol. Ms T fired first. The man fell back with a bullet in his chest. She knew the other would be gunning for her. She threw herself to the floor, hearing the bullet whistle over her head. She fired once and heard the bullet slam into a wall. She rolled to the side and the next bullet thudded into the floor next to her. She fired again and heard the guards gun drop. She felt a burning pain as a bullet grazed her leg. The outlaw fell a few seconds later, clutching his side.
Ms T figured she needed to find Bessie and make sure Gigi was ok. She opened the door to the hallway and ducked back as Bessie fired. Ms T shot once and Bessies gun fell. Bessie grabbed her hand and started screaming.
"Shut up! You killed DP. What's going to stop me from shooting you down right here?"

Having locked the outlaws in the pantry, Gigi heard bullet shots out back. She hurried to the door Miss Bessie had gone through, and heard T's voice on the other side. Gun at the ready, she burst through the door.

T'lainya · Post by **T'lainya** » Mon Jun 11, 2001 2:10 pm

Bessie stopped screaming and stared at T. "You can't just shoot me."
"Why not?" Ms T asked. Her eyes were like green ice and her voice was cold and hard.
"I didn't shoot him. I'll tell you anything you want to know. I can't talk if I'm dead." Bessie was trembling now.
Ms T c0cked the pistol and aimed it straight at Bessie. "But if you're dead, I won't have to see you or hear you or even think about you any more."
Bessie pleaded with her. "I know where the rest of the guns are, and how many men they have."

Gigi approached behind Miss Bessie, and nodded at T'. "We should at least hear what she has to say, sheriff."

T'lainya · Post by **T'lainya** » Mon Jun 11, 2001 2:21 pm

Ms T sighed . "You're right Gigi." She looked at Bessie. "You're goin' to jail. Just give me an excuse to shoot you!"
With Gigi's help Ms T got the survivors locked up in the jail.

After T and Gigi, locked up Bessie and her little group. Darkpoet slowly came down the stairs, the only one he kept his eyes on was T. But, he really wanted to see the look on Bessie's face.

When he got to the bottom of the stairs, it got real quiet.

"You won't have to worry, about the shipment. They are heading to Levenworth, and that's where you are going Bessie. This time I played your game. Sorry T, I had orders, so I couldn't tell you."

T'lainya · Post by **T'lainya** » Mon Jun 11, 2001 2:52 pm

Ms T turned as white as a ghost. She couldn't believe her eyes. "DP...?"
She stood staring at him for a moment. She wasn't sure whether to kill him or kiss him.

Darkpoet · Post by **Darkpoet** » Mon Jun 11, 2001 2:59 pm

"Now, which one of you Peckerwoods shot me? Because, you are not going to Levenworth. Instead you are getting a forty four in the head."
Darkpoet pull out his gun and headed for the cell.

While Kramor, Loner and Mae set out from Dodge, Aaron waited for word from Bessie. He was starting to fear she had double-crossed him. Damn, this was important...he had planned and waited far too long to see this fail.
