Devil's Eight Parted Canyon: Battle of The Golden Chips

Chapter Five: The Unseen Train Rider

It doesn't take long for both of them to arrive at the sheriff's office. As Billy walks in confidently. and ride up towards the sheriff's desk. The sheriff himself was an old man, with a graying beard, he wasn't bald but he was balding, his shirt a loose button up, his vest tight and pristinely put on. A golden badge dangling off his neck from a chain. His hat was on the desk, and his attention on his paperwork. But Billy did not care as he announced.

"I've been robbed."

Without skipping a beat the sheriff said.

"File a form and put it on my desk. I'll review it by the end of the week boy."

And Billy quickly responded.

"No you don't understand they have my gun, how can I duel without it?"

But the sheriff isn't having it and just simply is doing his paperwork. Ranger is looking around the room cells nicely made. Judging by the dust build up they haven't been used since at least before this sheriff. The walls are painted a loose blue almost lightish in the comical fashion. But there is one thing that catches rangers eye there's only two desks but one person sitting at it. It doesn't look like there's been a deputy for a while. Ranger knows well enough to not reveal this too Billy, as Billy will use it to make a scene.

After a while of Billy just standing there waiting to be acknowledged by the sheriff. He's sighs and starts walking away. Before seeing something the bounty board. A familiar bald man is on that board. As Billy quickly rips the paper off and slams it onto the pile of papers on the sheriff's desk, before exclaiming.

"All right you don't want to do this easy way. I'm going to go after this bounty because that's the man who stole my gun."

Ranger notice how Billy said that but just look down. However the sheriff looked up. He raised an eyebrow before standing up. And said.

"That's all good. But you're the one who slamming shit, on my desk. Now I'll tell you, you best get your ass out of my building or else, I'm going to lock you up in those cells right behind you. Do you understand boy?"

Billy realizes maybe he screwed up. So he quickly took a few steps back, grabbing the wanted picture and then sprinted out the door. Ranger took notice and started following, but the sheriff just sat down went about his work. As they both were running out of the sheriff's office and started to make their way down the street. Both of them soon arriving back at that alleyway in the Middle of Vannahai. As a ranger looks around, Billy is banging his head into the wall. Ranger sees a ladder and quickly taps Billy on the shoulder. Billy looks to see ranger pointing at a ladder as Billy quickly says.

"That's actually a great idea!"

They both then climb up the ladder looking around. Billy exclaims.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. There's so many people around how are we going to find the guy who stole from us?"

Ranger catches on to the last part of that sentence as he looks Billy in the back. Before picking up his flask. As he's undoing the fabric around his flask Billy is looking off to the distance. As Ranger hunches over Billy turns around before asking.

"What are you doing?"

Ranger then stands up. Removing his glove there's a spot for the diamond chip which Ranger slides the chip into the metal on his hand. Before class being his hands together and raising them to his right eye. He made a telescope. As Ranger looked through it Billy just simply raised a eyebrow and said.

"I know I'm not one to say, but I don't think that-"

But Ranger broke his spyglass, putting the diamond chip back in his pocket. Before pointing over at the train. As Billy starts climbing off the roof he says.
