The Outlaw's of the South

Chapter One

The tall cowboy hums softly to himself as he gazes of his jail window. He chuckles as he watches the men sweating in the Arkansas heat as they build a gallow in the middle of town.
"Those poor dumbasses." He mumbles.
"Well, good morning, Wolf. Oh, I see you've already seen the gift my men are building for you outside." The sheriff smirks as he leans the cell door.
"Yeah, I see that. Mighty nice of you. But to think of those trees that had to die in vain for all that nice lumber just breaks my heart. Such a waste." Skiler says, shaking his head.
"Since when did you start caring about life?" The shriff continues to smirk.
"Oh, I don't. It's just a shame to see all that lumber go to waste." Skiler shrugs, as he turns his attention back to the dusty streets.
"So you're still thinking tht gang of yours will come to save you? They'd be nuts to even try. The town is ready for them." The sheriff says, with a snarl.
"Yeah, I've noticed. I can see Buckeye Bill on top of the general store, killing his second bottle of whiskey. Great team, you got there." The outlaw chuckles. "Oh, and I see Miss. Olena has joined your deputy on the roof of the bank. Looks to me like your deputy on the roof of the bank. Looks to me like your deputy is enjoying a very nice blowjob. Hmmmm, now, tell me againbhow the town is ready?"
The sheriff growls as he walks away from the outlaw's cell, leaving Skiler in a fit of laughter.
"HEY, YOU GUYS MAKE THAT NICE AND PURDY, YA HEAR?!" Skiler shouts and begins laughing loudly.
"YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING LONG, WOLF!" One of the men shouts back.
"OH, I DON'T KNOW. I THINK I'LL BE LAUGHING ABOUT ABOUT THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME! NOW, IF Y'ALL DON'T MIND, CAN Y'ALL HAMMER A LITTLE QUIETER? I'D LIKE TO TAKE A NAP!" Skiler yells with another round of laughter.
Skiler shakes his head as he goes to lie down on the small cot. He removes his cowboy hat and lays it over his face and closes his eyes.
"They'll be eating their words when my baby shows up." Skiler smiles, as he thinks of his black-haired green-eyed lover.
"Hey, Wolf?" The sheriff calls out, as he walks up to the ceell door.
"What?" Skiler yawns, from underneath his hat.
"To show you that I'm such a great guy, I have another surprise for you." The sheriff announces.
"You are so kind. You're spoiling me." Skiler snickers, still not making an effort to remove the hat covering his face.
"Hello, Skiler." A female voice, says.
Ski slowly raises his hat and peeks out from underneath the brim. There, standing at the door of his cell, was the most expensive of all the prostitutes that this sleezy town had to offer. Jenika.
Ski laughs as he lays his hat back over his face. "Y'know I'm gay, right?"
"Yeah, I know you're a weirdo but I thought in these last few hours of life that you might want to try something new." The sheriff says, with a chuckle as he unlocks the cell door to let Jenika inside, locking the door behind her. "Have fun." He adds with a laugh, before walking away.
Once again the outlaw raises his hat to see the beautiful blonde standing before him with a smile on her face.
"You know he's wasting your time, right?" Ski says, as he sits up on the side of his cot. He runs a hand through his hair before putting his cowboy hat back on. "You could be back at the whore house making some money."
"Oh, I know." She nods with a smile, as she sits down next to him on the cot. "But, I have something for you."
"Like what?" Ski asks, as he turns his eyes towards her.
"You have the prettiest brown eyes I have ever seen." Jenika giggles.
"Seriously? A compliment is what you have to give to me?" Ski asks, with a raised brow. "I'm still not fucking you."
"Okay. Okay." She says, with a roll of ehr eyes as she reaches into the small velvet purse that she had hanging on her arm. She pulls out a folded piece of paper and hands it to Ski. "I'm supposed to give this to you."
The outlaw gives her a questionable look as he takes the piece of paper. A smile comes across his face as he unfolds it. He recognized the writing.

'I miss you so much. See you soon! Love you always, Rebel'

"How did you get this?" Ski asks, as he slips the note into his pocket.
"He came to visit me last night and asked me if I could somehow get it to you." Jenika says, lowering her voice. "Listen, Ski, if there is anything that me and the girls can do to help, just let me know."
