Where The Bullet Lands

Trail of Tears

I think back to all the other times I've seen executions, depends on how notorious they are. Seeing that Deadshot is known as Texas most wanted, he will get it done special. Sheriff will give a speech, they won't kill him with the other captured outlaws. They'll make a big deal out of it. If he's been to this town, the mayor will probably throw a party, celebrating the removed hindrance. They probably expect his men, someone who is close to him. I'm a girl, last thing they'd expect, and I'm young. I would consider using my charms to get to him, but I have morals. I would sneak in before the execution, but that;s what they'd think his back up would do. And it's probably heavily guarded. The execution probably won't be, they think no one knows so they'll keep it down. Enough to where outlaw allies wouldn't know but the rich folk can come. I need to know whether the party is before or after the execution. I slip around the corner and into the little shop, afterwards I walk perkily into the sheriff's office. I take a deep breath and put on my fake smile.

"Hello, Mr. Sheriff, I see you caught some vermin" I smile widely and give Deadshot a quick look.

"Yes, mam, this is the notorious Deadshot" He smiles creepily

"Oh, I saw a poster of him, he looks worse in person" I laugh real laugh. Deadshot gives me a dirty look.

"We're having a party before, if you'd like to come" He looks me up and down. Ew perve, you're like 30 years older than me.

"I'd love to come" I smile fakely. He tells me all the details and I remember the best I can. I act like i dropped my bracelet, when I bend down to pick it up, I sneak Deadshot some cigarettes. He gives me a quick thank you / devilish smile. Th sheriff was too busy staring at my butt. I courtsey and walk out the door, frowning as soon as I'm out of sight. I shake off the unnerving thing I just put myself through. I pay for a room in the saloon. I make my money through draws. Sometimes I get bets against me or I steal the dead guy's money. I stare at the ceiling. Being alone with your thoughts is the scariest thing in my life, and I've been through a lot. Why aren't I worried about Will and Mary. Why am I trying to save the guy who kidnapped me, and beat the shit out of me. Why? What did he mean our destiny's intertwined? My brain begins to hurt so I clear my head and fall into unconsiousness. When I awake, I realize the best plan to get him out of here. I quickly run to the store nextdoor. It's a clothes store.

"Hi, my name is Eliza-beth" She paused breifly between her name.

"My name is Jessie" I lied. I can see another customer by the boots section. I walk around the store looking at the dresses. I walk around a clothes rack and run face to face into someone. My eyes come to focus. It's a guy, he was pretty cute. I have an idea.

"Oh, I'm sorry" I smile.

"No, uh, sorry, that was me, I kind of had this notion in my head that if I accidently ran into you, you'd be willing to go do something sometime, maybe a drink?" He smiled nervously.

"Yeah, hey actually, I'm going to this party tonight. You know I don't want to be that one girl that doesn't bring a dashing young guy as her date" I chuckle.

"Yeah, sure, I'm staying with my uncle, he is the sheriff" oh shit.

"Great I'll come meet you at his office and we can walk to the mayor's mansion together." Awe shit. This isn't going to go well.

"I'm Matt by the way" He smiles a real authentic smile, first i've seen in years.

"Jessie" The second authentic smile I've seen in years, stretches across my face. I would of actully been happy with this guy, it's going to suck when I break his heart. He leaves smiling the whole time. "Hey, Eiza-beth, help me find a nice dress" I mock her, she helps me choose a dress and i leave there ready for the upcoming night.
