Busted Gulch vol 1

Goin' after Lean (Ruechari)

Goin' after Lean

Somethin' about the ol' Doc's face

Seemed familiar but hard to place

I knew there's a connection from the past

But some memories choose not to last.

I had to find Lean she was in over her head

If I didn't get to her soon I'd find her dead

I asked the Doc about her brother

His symptoms could mean no other

He suffered from the cocopops

I knew what he needed to make 'em stop

I came here though to warn Carob Bob

He's about to become mulch

For Spent Shell last I heard

Was headed for Busted Gulch

Now there was no time

I road off into the dessert

By the tracks, I knew I wasn't far

and then I'd seen comin' toward me

...Six Star?

Whoa, Whoa boy!

It's okay!

He seemed real restless

huffed and neighed.

I took him in hand

And tied him to the saddle

Lean must be close

No time to dawdle

I seen the fire

Lean knocked out cold.

I dismounted and walked right up

Feelin' rather bold.

Two pairs of guns, ready to kill.

"Put 'em down boys. You need to chill."

"Why you here?" He said to me.

"Doin' your job, can't you see?

You got her and I got her horse,

Now you have to take her to Dad, of course."

"Dad's in hidin' since Spent Shell is 'round

before he ends up six feet under ground."

"Do you know where he's at? If not ask every KitKat.

Her brother got the cocopops real bad,

And now the only one can save 'em is Dad."

He looked down at Lean, he thought she was spyin'

Now he knew what was worth dyin'

"You goin' back?" He knew that I would.

Or my Dad's name wasn't Chief DamageGoods.
