Star City Book #1

Chapter 1

Nyssa had left her gang behind as she was riding far away from the campsite that they made camp the night before. Once again they had robbed a bank and once again someone was gun down in the process.

When they got back to camp, Nyssa held on to the money and said they would divide it up in the morning. This wasn't unusual since Nyssa always held on to the money, but what they didn't know was that she was going to runaway and hide the money and never return.

Years as an outlaw hung heavy on Nyssa's mind. Form her killing her first man at the age of sixteen to her robbing her first bank at the age of twenty. It was all there and it haunted her when she was awake. It haunted her when she was asleep. The torture souls of those she killed. Screaming, pleading to be spared. And she killed them. Their blood was on her hands.

After she left camp while gang was still asleep, Nyssa stopped at an old cemetery and buried the money in a grave with an unknown marking as its headstone. As she thought there was no body inside she put the money in the hole, reburied it and walked back to her horse.

"Well, Canary it looks like its just going to be us for now only." Nyssa told the Bay Horse who neigh in response.

Nyssa then gets on and rides off. She doesn't know where she's going and she doesn't care where she stays. She just knows that her days as a bank robbing outlaw are through.

Star City, Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Quentin Lance is at his desk filling out paperwork when his deputy walked in with another man.

"Lucas, who is this with you?" Sheriff Lance asked.

"Deputy Sheriff Eddie Thawne from Central City." The man answered.

"What can I do for you?"
"We got word that the bank of Westwood was robbed last night and $750,000 was taken. A teller was killed and the deputy was wounded during the getaway."
"Central City has no jurisdiction in Westwood."

"That's why he came to us. He wants one of us to go to Westwood and retrieve the money and the outlaws before they get here." Deputy Hilton explained.

"Why don't they just form a posse and go after the gang that robbed them?" Sheriff Lance asked.

"Because they have at least a days ride ahead of them." Deputy Thawne replied.

"Then you want have to go anywhere Deputy Thawne."
"How come?"
"Because the outlaws will be coming this way."

Sheriff Lance was some what right cause at that moment, the leader of the gang was riding into town.
