The Commander's Power

Chapter 2

"Move out of the way." said a woman loud for everyone on the stone path could hear as she chased down a man that was running away from her.

"Stop running. (Taking deep breaths in and out of her mouth) Once I get my hands on you trust me you will regret ever running away from me."

The man who kept on running away from her did not stop nor look back at her to see how close she was to him, He only cared about, how he was going to get away from this crazy woman who was dressed up like a man wearing grey pants and a white loose shirt with a hat as she chased him.

Without even noticing a gentleman had come out onto the stone path blocking his way.

He tried his best not to run into him but luck was not on his side at that moment as he ran right into him knocking them both down onto the ground.

The woman leaped herself off of the ground and into the air landing herself right on top of the man who she was chasing.

Punch, punch was the sounds of her hitting the man.

"I told you to stop running ( a punch to his face) , I hate running (a punch to his stomic) You should of listen to me." She screamed in his face.

The man who had come out of nowhere not too long ago to help her catch this man said "Zoe stop get off of him, We have him now. The way you're going your going to kill him before we get our money, just stop it. Let's send him to the command post so we can get our bounty money for him by handing him in."

He tried pulling her off of the man who was beneath her but had no luck with doing so.

Taking a deep breath Zoe then stood up and looked down at the now unconscious man.

Her white shirt was now out of her pants and wrinkled up with some blood splatter onto it.

She tried to fix herself up as best as she could.

She tied her hair into a bun then placed her hat back on top of her head to cover up her hair to not let others know that she was a woman.

It was the 1800s and women were supposed to be fragile, not rough and tough and especially not going out chasing men looking for Bounty money.

They were home taking care of their husbands and cleaned up their homes as they look after their children as they cooked food, not out working making money that was a man's job.

"You drop this." The man who had called her name before said as he handed her a small little pistol.

"Thanks, buddy." She hit him onto his shoulder and smiled up at him.

She took her gun back from his hand and placed it inside of her gun holder which was attached to her belt that was around her small little waist.

"Keith how much do you think we will get for this guy," Zoe asked then she kicked the unconscious man on the ground seeing if he would wake up.

"Not sure, they didn't put a price this time on the Bounty paper so I'm thinking maybe it's a big cash reward."

"I hope your right, but remember we can't let master no ok or we would lose our jobs," Zoe said as she looked up at Keith's face with her big brown eyes.

Keith didn't say a word.

He was not the type to rat someone out especially her.

Zoe was his only best friend and if he rated her out he would be rating himself out as well.

He knew how much this Bounty money meant to her so he could only be a good friend and help her out.

With Zoe having no father to bring money home it was up to her to take the responsibility to provide for her and her adoptive mother........
