As a sand picked up around the door, Billy looked in. He grid his teeth, and clenched his hands. He just stood there outside the church staring at the burning horse skull. Ranger turn back and looked at him. By no means was Ranger a smart man, but he did recognize one thing. The want... No, the need for revenge.

Ranger slowly walked up right beside Billy. As he placed his hand on Billy's shoulder. He merely turned towards Billy. He was not being comforting. And it doesn't seem like he was being nice, or trying to ease Billy's pain. All he wanted was Billy to recognize he is right, he will get his revenge. As Billy looked towards Ranger, Ranger nodded his head. Before Ranger stepped out of the Church, and Billy walked in. And six gun shots rang out. As Billy walked out of the church, and simply walk towards his horse and said, his voice low and cold much different to what it normally sounds like.

"There's nothing in this town for us... Let's leave."

With that not a word was spoken they both hopped on the horse and left. They only had one goal now the major town near the coast of the canyon, The biggest Town Vannahai. It's not only the location of the Golden Ship Casino. But also one of the biggest gambling cities in the world. And even though Ranger was silent, he seems to constantly be looking at the diamond chip. But as they're riding away from this town someone turns away.

But it's time to take a look off of the duo and back at John Doe, as it is 2 days after the duos departure. He was standing there chewing tobacco outside of someone's home, moments before four armed men in suits walked up to him. John Doe himself was merely wearing some casual clothing simple flat cap, a loose fitted white shirt, and rough work pants. As John Doe spit their tobacco out he merely said.

"You know my entire thing is undercover. Now I know your boss won't come out here himself, you know running secret organization and all that. But it's hard to do my job with y'all stepping out like this."

As the men said nothing, simply dropping a box on the floor, no bigger than the hand. Before turning around and walking away. As John Doe grit his teeth he merely picked up the box and walked away. When he was in a rough looking shack outside the window was the main room of this house that he was staring at before just at a different angle. He opened up the box in it was a note that read.

"Dear John Doe. I have given you one job destroy the diamond chip. From what you told me you could complete this task. And I had trust as the deadliest assassin. But, seems I was wrong. Now I'll tell you we went through way too much problems just from that boy alone. Especially now, with him regaining his Spark. So I'mma tell you one more time and you will not mess this up. Destroy that chip, and you are still not allowed to kill that boy, who holds the diamond chip. At the bottom of this box there is a Golden Chip we have collected for you. This is your punishment. Sincerely Ace."

As John Doe. Looks at the note. He pulls out his lighter setting the note on fire. Before looking at the bottom of the box. In it was an ace of spades and right on top of that card was a golden chip. As he picks up the card he throws it into the ground it's surprisingly been sharpened to be a throwing knife. He grabs the chip and exclaimed.

"God damn it Ace! This was not our deal at all. I wanted to be as far away from Cains Refutal's hell game. And now you're making me a participant. God damn it!"

As without hesitation he raises up his rifle, not even looking he fires it. As a bullet goes through the window right into the back of the neck of a man painting a picture in the house. Completing John Doe's job. As John Doe then holsters his rifle, he turns around and walks away down the stairs of the house. The note said he couldn't kill the diamond chips holder not the person accompanying them.

As we cut back to the duo on the back of Billy's horse as Billy asked one question.

"So I got to get some clear. You'll nod your head for yes, shake your head for no. I'm going to gauge how old you are, because you're constantly hiding behind you goggles and mask. Where are you alive for the book gold hoarders dream?"
