Where The Bullet Lands

Cigarettes and Whiskey

I examined myself, bruises and blood still clung to my body. He didn't look that great either. We both suffered after we had a fight just before he kidnapped me.
"You know so much about me, but I know so little about you" I frowned.
"Don't, I just need to find my men and get far away from Texas" He frowned.
"You were the one who kidnapped me" I crossed my arms angrily. It was silent for a while before I butted in.
"Did you hurt the people traveling with me?" I stared at him.
"Just the one who deserved it" He looked down at the ground and began to reach for another cigarette. I didn't know what he meant by that, but I didn't want to push him farther.
"Why did you kidnap me? How do you know so much about me?" I began questioning him.
"That's not important" He frowned and realized he was out of cigarettes.

"I see you're out" I look into his eyes.

"Yeah. Let's just keep it quiet until we get to town and find some more" He cracks his knuckles.

"I don't need your crap, you know, I could very well find them on my own" I raised my voice.

"Sure, princess, do you know where they're taking them?" He lifts and eyebrow.

"No, well I could find out" I banter back.

"Iv'e seen your people skills, you need me" He chuckles.

"Well, you need me too" I frown and cross my arms.

"How so?" He smiles devishly.

"Well you haven't left me yet, you haven't shot me and ran away" I lift an eyebrow. He stayed quiet, I had won that skirmish, and I know there will be many more arguements on our little journey. Thankfully, we just exchanged stories.

"Wait, so you grabbed him and ran off? Like threw him over your shoulder and hauled ass?" He chuckled.

"Yeah, he couldn't do anything himself, he is just a charming rich kid" I smile widely.

"You nearly shot his ear off, and he still chased after you? that's dedication" He smiled devishly.

"So, you were sleeping in an saloon and the guy in the room above you wouldn't stop snoring, so you shot the ceiling?" I looked alarmed.

"I only shot him in the leg, his wife was pissed" He extened the s. Finally, a town came in sight.

"I say we ask the shop keeper" I put one hand on my hip.

"What? No, we're asking the bartender" We began arguing.

"Will and Mary don't even drink!" I shout.

"My men do!" He yells back.

"The last thing I would do, if i had a prisoner worth more money than the state of Louisana, is drink!" I yelled louder.

"Shut up!" He shushed me angrily.

"You don't win arguments like that, you can't just shush the perso-" He pushed his hands against my mouth and held me behind the wall of the gun store. I began to try to escape from his reach, until I saw the two guys, the ones who were guarding me in the tent earlier, walk out of the store.

"That kid was creepy, he totally mind controllled Dave, I can't believed they escaped" The shorter one said in disbelief.

"They just ran off into the desert, I bet they'll survive a week" The tall one chuckles.

"I feel bad for just abandoning Deadshot and leaving him with crazy bitch" The short one frowned. His name is Deadshot?

"When he appointed us six years ago, I never thought we'd do anything like this to him, he is family" The tall one frowned. What sympathetic losers. Deadshot lets go of me and steps into the sunlight. He has my guns in his hands. I'm going to kill him. He aims both at the two traitors.

"Gus, Rogers, you're dead" He spits on the sand.

"we're sorry boss, really rea-" He shoots them both dead. Their lifeless bodies fall to the ground. I turn around to see the sheriff riding back into town. Oh shit. I jump back into the shadows and try to yell at Deadshot, but it's too late. He already has him in ropes. Deadshot, why does that sound familar, why, why, why. Oh. He is a famous outlaw, he hasn't ever missed a shot. He has been in thousands of draws, and never lost. He has killed more people than I could imagine. But so have I. I stare from behind the wall. He gives me a worried look and then a confident nod of the head. I frown. They're going to kill him. Execution.

"How am I going to save Texas's most wanted criminal from being executed?" I mutter under my breath.
