Outlaws

Chapter 2

"W-what! why wouldn't you start with that!" I say far to exited. 

"I mean was pretty small when I met her and was around her but she's pretty much just like they explain in the book" Jack says. 

"do you know where she is?" 

"last time I saw her she said she was going to South America but.. who really knows where she is now it's been years" Jack says looking at his watch. 

I have to find her, she's practically my hero she could tell me her old ways of living and maybe teach me to be a gunslinger to!

"come on we have got to find her" I say walking out of the shop 

"wait up!" 

I walk down the old cobblestone street yet again but this time with a mission I march my way over to the stables that I swear Ive never seen anybody come in or out of. I push open the big red doors and am hit in the face with the smell of wet horse and manure. I gag and breathe though my sleeve looking at all the different horses. 

"you wantin' a horse for your little ol' wife mister?" a red faced porky man says appearing out of the shadows with the strongest hillbilly accent I've ever heard 

"she's not my wife, and quite frankly I don't know why we are here..." Jack says panting after running after me. 

"Please Marston! sorry sir its these new pills the doctor has him on.. yes we need two horses fine sir" It almost feels gross to call this guy 'fine' 

"well hoooo eee Ive got some fine steeds for you two lovely ducklings" he walks or... waddles over to a stall and gestures for us to come over. 

me and Jack walk over hesitantly because quite frankly this man looks kinda like a serial killer. 

"these fine steeds have been raised together and are best of friends" he points to the other stallion in the stall next to it. 

"how much" I say not wanting to spend another minute with this guy.

"well for a fine lady like you I'll let you have them for 10 dollars" he says with a grin smeared across his face. 

I reach into my pocket and I grab the 10$ and hand it to him quickly.  

"Thank ye I'll put this to good use" He says hobbling away back to his shadowy spot.  

though me and Jack both know that he will just spend it on some booze. 

A scrappy little stableman rushes to the stalls and he leads the horses out putting saddles on like its nothing even for being as skinny as he is he is still very strong. 

"So are you gonna tell me why you just ran off yelling 'we have to find her' and then buying two horses without even telling me the plan!" Jack argues 

"ok well its kind of your fault too ok you followed me" 

I can tell Jack wants to argue further but he struggles to find something to say and he gives up. I smile knowing Ive won.

"um your horses are ready" the little stableman says giving us the reins and scurrying off in a hurry.

Jack gets on with no problem and waits for while I have a hard time getting on because of my lengthy and goofy dress. I get frustrated and eventually hand the reins to Jack. 

"before we go Im going to need a new wardrobe" 

"ughh! no! where not going shopping....." He says clearly annoyed 

"you expect me to ride in this dumb dress?"

Jack rolls his eyes and grabs me by the waist and puts me on the back

"fine we will get you ONE new outfit you hear me one" 

"fine..." I say with dismay 

we ride around town to find the perfect shop and when we finally do I rush in and look at everything just to annoy Jack. He ties up the horses and walks in glum  following me. 

"what about this one?" I ask holding up a riding outfit

"yeah good perfect get it" 

"or maybe this one....." 

"just get the first one!" Jack says aggravated 

I laugh and bring it to the counter up front. 

"he- wait your the lady from the park!" 

"yes indeed I am and I see you found yourself a husband" 

"why does everyone think i'm her husband!"

"well for one you sure act like it practically every man I see comes in here with his wife looking at cloths" She says with a raised eyebrow. 

"how much" Jack says sighing. 

"20 my dear" 

Jack reaches in his pocket and throws the money at her and grabs the cloths. 

"come on put them on we have practically wasted a whole day" he says shoving me into the changing room. 

I change and put the old dress In the garbage and finally mount my horse with pride. 

"come on lets go before it gets dark"
