"We surely have a big day ahead of us everyone." Abigail chuckled nervously. "Oh goodness... I know I can't stop any of you from confronting Donnie and his bride, but please be careful. We have lost enough people to them in the past."

Boyd looked over at Ellie. "Mom, please let me help."

"Absolutely not. I am not allowing you to put yourself in danger." Ellie thought for a moment. "And if you decide to help anyway, you are grounded." Damn. She really just pulled out the big guns.

Boyd nodded and kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to be grounded.

Gloria held onto Boyd's hand. "Don't worry, Ellie. I'll look after him while you're away. But if things get choppy out there, let me know!" She's ready to kick ass and take names, folks.

"Is there anything the rest of us can do, Abigail?" Mia asked. She felt a bit rude for not helping the others, but Heidi simply wouldn't allow it.

Abigail nodded. "Well, sure! I still have to board up some of the windows. I was too busy cleaning yesterday to do it." She knit her hands together, clearly anxious. "But they don't show up until noon s-so we should have enough time... and if we don't, well... I suppose we can just expect to be robbed."

Heidi shook her head. "Nuh-uh! You knew we're shutting that down, Abby." She pounded her fist on the table, almost spilling everyone's coffee. "You don't know us. We're crazy as shit!"

Except Wyatt who was now shivering in the corner. He really regretted signing up for this.

"Oh dear! Well ummm..." You would think Abigail would be used to how they all speak by now. "Thank you, all of you, for helping our small town. Just to consider fighting them means a lot to us." She gave a weak smile before pulling out the wooden planks she uses to board up the inn every month. "I wish y'all luck!" She left the Glomsquad to start boarding up the window in the kitchen.

"CAN I HELP?!" Glomgold shouted with his mouth full.

Heidi shrugged. "Sure. What the hell man. But if you get shot you're probably going to die. The old west has shit first aid."

That made Wyatt even more scared and he practically peed himself. Good thing he didn't because that would've been fucking embarrasing.

"I-I h-have to use the r-restroom." Wyatt jumped out of his chair and ran away.

Heidi laughed. "Man. What's his issue? Fucking pussy."

"Heidi." Mia gave her a look.

"Sorry."

Gloria looked down at Boyd. "Hey Boyd, why don't you check up on your dad. See if he's doing okay."

Boyd nodded. "Okay!" Poor little guy wanted to help somehow! He left the Glomsquad to head upstairs.

Gloria looked back at the group. "Alright so Gyro would get pissed if I went out to help you guys but I want to help somehow! I hate that I can't help but I know you two are more than capable of handling this shit." Not Wyatt though... But Glomgold on the other hand? She and Heidi remember how he killed the island leader. Dude doesn't fuck around.

"Pfffffftttt, why are you letting a man boss you around?" Heidi teased.

Ellie nodded in agreement.

Mark gave her a look. "Hey..."

"Shut up, Mark." Ellie looked back at Gloria. "You can just help us anyway. It is not like Gyro has to know. Plus my Uncle can absorb bullets."

"OI!"

"Yeah you're right. I mean, those idiots are outnumbered! I think we'll be done with them in a matter of minutes." Well someone was cocky. "I'll just make an excuse and have Boyd keep an eye on Gyro."
