>Well... there it goes.

>Guess we should go get on it now.

You ready Sunny?

>"Yep."

Now make sure you got my six on this, this job's gonna be a doozie. Now lets catch up to that train.

>"Gotcha!"

>You both chase after the train on horseback.

>Luckily you two have the best horses ever.

>Bred from your families ranch.

>You catch up to the back of the train within at least a minute.

>You begin to stand on the saddle.

>Your partner Sunset does the same.

On three now...

>"THREE!" she says jumping ahead.

>This girl.

You jump after her.

Now you two meet us up in a minute or two, go eat some grass or something. This wont take long.

>Your horses get the signal and fall back.

>You look towards the back door of the train.

Alright Sunny, now you know the deal. See a hostage, take out the bad guy. If they don't have a hostage, just rope em. Got it?

>"Got it."

You sure Sunny? Last time-

>"We got people to save Brad, it's time to nut up! Now come on!"

Ugh... sometimes Sunny... just sometimes...

>You open the door and get ready.

>You see a bunch of frightened people.

>Men.

>Women.

>Children.

>Few pets.

>"I-it's FLASH SENTR-"

Shhh now, don't wanna go and spook the criminals. Keep it real quiet like in here.

>They all nod.

>You move on to the next cart.

>You already spot two.

No hostages, aim for the guns like i taught you.

>"I know i know, keeping them alive gets us more cash."

Attah girl. Now lets get in there, you take left, i got right.

>Sunset nods.

>You bust open the door.

>The second your guy puts up his gun, it's too late.

>You shoot it out of his hand.

>"MUH GUN!"

>You run up and sock him in the jaw.

>"Owwwww... muh jaaaaw..."

>You tie him up real good, you look to Sunny who has done the same for her guy.

Alright buddy, how many people you got on here?

>"I ain't tellin you squat!" he says spitting at the ground.

Don't go spitting on the train! That's mahogany wood!

>You slap him on the back of the head.

>"Gah! Ow!"

Now how many? You start talking or else you're getting the wet willy.

>"Oh god no."

How many?

>"T-ten..."

Ten more, or is this counting you?

>"Ten more..."

Good boy. No wet willy for you today.

>He breaths a sigh of relief.

>Everyone hates a wet willy.

>Some rather get shot in the face than get a wet willy.

>You move on to the next cart.

>You peer into the glass like last time.

>They got hostages this time.

>Damn.

>You really didn't wanna have to kill anybody today.

>Sunset may not get it, but taking someone's life is like taking away something, and never being able to give it back.

Alright Sunny, they got hostages. Aim for the head and make it quick.

>"Gotcha boss."

>You bust in as quickly as you can, and take down your man.

>Sunset takes hers.

>You run towards the hostages, but two more men come out of nowhere.

>Shit.

AIM FOR THE GUNS!

>You shoot your guy's gun.

>Sunset shoots her guy.

Damnit sunset!

>"I'm sorry, i'm sorry. But ain't it better if we just get rid of em? They go to jail, and they can break out."

Yeah, or get the noose. We don't know what happens to them, all we know is we get less money now.

>And she took away some poor souls right to live.

>These guys have been young so far.

>You look at Sunset while you cut loose a hostage.

Now make sure to start thinking before you shoot.

>She grunts and cuts the other hostage free.

>The next cart then.

>You and her bust it down, seeing two men emptying the pockets of the passengers.

>You rope em.

>Now the head of the train.

>Time to get the last two.

Hand's up!

>You see one of them.

>And the conductor.

Wait a minute... you're one... now where's two?

>"YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE SENTRY!" says the last guy on his horse.

>Damn.

>"RUN BOSS, YOU CAN STILL MAKE IT!" says the goon.

Tie this ugly son of a bitch up. I got the boss.

>You take your fingers to your lips and call for your horse.

>Within a thirty seconds, its here.

You were chasing the train still weren't you? Oh well, glad you're here Lady. Let's get the dumb ass.

>You hop onto your horse and start to tail him.

>Here comes the part with the guns.

>Gotta make sure to hit the gun.

>Maybe i can fuck this one up just a little bit and shoot him in the hand.

>He isn't going to be needing it in prison.

STOP RIGHT NOW WACKO WILL.

>"NOT IN YOUR LIFETIME SENTRY!" he says pulling out his gun.

>Welp, i hope he isn't a lefty.

*Bang!*

>"MUH HAN-AUGH!"

>You rope him off his horse while he cradles his hand.

>You've learned that it's best to act as quick as you can to rope these guys.

>You stop your horse right next to him and start pulling him in.

>"Ah, you slid me on a rock!"

Stop your whining. You sound like a kid who just stubbed a toe.

>Though stubbing your toes does fucking hurt.

>I'd rather get a wet willy than a stubbed toe.

>You pull him in, tie him up, and head for the stopped train.

>You meet up with your partner and the conductor.

Welp, i got em.

>"Good job yet again Mr. Sentry." says the sheriff of the nearby town.

All in a days work sir. Now about me an my partner's money.

>"Here it is. In full. Well... slightly in full." he says looking at you with a half smile.

>You look at Sunset.

>She looks the other way.

>You take the bag full of money tip your hat.

Come on Sunny, let's go home.

>"Gotcha boss." she says waving to the people on the train.

---------------------

 

>You wake up from your slumber near the campfire you started.

>You dreamt about the days you had with your partner.

>You wonder what she's up to now a days.

>You look at the sky.

>Looks like it's morning already.

>Early morning.

>You sigh and pick up your stuff.

>Once you stomp out your fire, you wake up your horse and hop on.

Let's go lady. There's a town nearby. We can get food and water there. Maybe a good shave too.

>You run your hand through your scruffy chin.

>The ride there isn't too long, it's a nice peaceful one.

>Making your way in town, you see people starting to wake up and put "open" signs up.

>There's the barber.

>You tie your horse near the water and head on inside.

Morning barber. Am i your first customer?

>"Don't be a smart ass, of coarse you ar- oh my gosh, it's Flash Sentry. I-i-i-i'm so sorry sir. I didn't mean to-"

All's good my friend. I'm just here for a shave.

>"Y-yes sir!" he says laying out a towel on one of the chairs.

>You sit down and rest your head against the seat.

>He begins his work quickly but carefully.

So, you guys got any gossip round these parts?

>"Oh yes sir! Most is just about Lasso Lass, but-"

Lasso Lass, i swear i've heard that name before.

>"She's the baddest woman in the west sir. Some say she's a valkyrie come to earth. They say she can hogtie a twister."

So wait, is she good or bad?

>"Some folk are picking sides mister. I honestly can't tell you."

Hmmmm.

>Barber finishes up and you pay him.

>You make your way out and head for the nearest shop.

>You need food for both you and your horse, and some water to boot.

>Once you get there, you once again tie your horse nearby.

>You enter the store.

>Pretty packed for a morning.

>Maybe they're here to get the stuff while it's hot.

>Smart choice really.

Hay shop keep, i need food and water.

>"Wait yer turn pal, we came here first." says some punk.

Alright. First come, first serve. I see how it is.

>"You better. No one messes with the santos!"

>You grin.

Santos... you know, i've heard a lot about you fellas.

>"Yeah?"

Yeah. Heard you guys...

>They start to smirk.

Are horsefuckers. That's really gross.

>They take out their guns.

>Too late.

>They are popped right out of there hands.

Now, how's about you boys tie yourselfs up for me so i don't have to go through all the trouble?

>You toss them the rope.

>Oh!

>That's another thing you need.

>Rope.

>One person can't have too much rope.

>No such thing as too much rope.

>They tie their wrists together.

No no no. Didn't your papa's ever teach you to tie a knot?

>You redo it for them.

I told you two i didn't wanna go through all that trouble.

>"Y-yer just lucky our boss aint here."

What's yer boss's name?

>"Like we'd tell you."

Well, i guess i can't pry that info out of you. Besides, i'm trying to quit bounty hunting.

>"Yer quitting Flash?" asks the shop keep.

Yep. I feel like i got enough money to last me awhile. I just need to find me a place to settle down in. Find a cute girl. Make her my wife. You know, the life of a true American.

>"Well that's mighty disappointing Mr. Sentry. word is you are going to catch Lasso Lass."

Now there's that name again. I've only heard about it recently. What's this Lasso Lass do?

>"She's a criminal. Some dumb folk say she isn't, but they're dumb!" he says packing some food and water for you.

Hmmmm... She this towns idle? I'm guessing she has a bounty.

>"900 bucks and rising each day. The food and water's on the house."

Well then, thanks keep. I'm guessing these boys have a bounty too?

>"Small fry like them? No. I'd let them go."

Well, i guess.

>You untie them.

>"We'll get you Sentry!" says the santos.

The only thing you'll be getting is a wet willy if you come for me.

>He gives you a terrified look.

People REALLY don't like wet willys.

>"No sir." recaps the shop keep.

>You walk outside, untie your horse, get on, and head for the mayor's office.

>You're gonna learn more about this "Lasso Lass".
