Hugh's heart lept into his throat... He couldn't even count how many there were. Men were ready to end his life and leave him to rot like a dog. When Cullen came at last possible second.
He lept, spearing Hugh to the ground and towards cover. Hugh fell fast and ached upon contact with the floor. "Run, Hugh. Now!" Cullen roared over the zipping of bullets and thunderous bangs. Instantly, both of them were up, making their way through the ambush. Explosive barrels exploded all around and a few soldiers attempting to murder them were blown off their feet.
Hugh picked up a gun and stopped to fire. In his luck, the men were terrible at aiming and the weapons missed him. "Hugh, they're here for you, not me. Move! It's not worth me rescuing you just for you to die!" Cullen demanded. Hugh moved with Cullen towards the saloon.
"Okay. There are two horses behind the bar. We get through, hold off a few guys and go." Cullen explained. Hugh agreed as they entered the saloon and when he looked back, a surprise was there to meet him... A machine gun.
The machine began to be operate and bullets span out. Quickly, Hugh dived out of the way of the door, leaping for the ground. Pieces of wood flew through the air. Hugh was searching for Cullen but couldn't see through the confusion.
When he saw a man on the floor. Was it Cullen? And if it was, was he alive? At that moment, the gun stopped. He got Cullen and ran for the back door. A man waited and Hugh shot him, getting to the horses. Then, they ran. Armadillo had been overrun with outlaws.
