Lookin' Like Hell
Billy started his usual rounds
Beginning with Tent City
He sees the twitch of a tail
and smirks, "Come on Kitty."
Kitty jumps up
Becoming a shoulder cat
Billy give its head a scratch.
It mews...
"I know you miss 3Gun's hat.
But now we got a job to do."
Billy paid for information
That anyone knew.
He hated to admit he missed Lou.
Most leads led to dead ends
But he knew Tex Mex here
Still had friends.
People who would be willing to hide
The big headed crook.
So, everyday he rode through
Taking a look.
Down an alley
Something caught his eye.
Could have sworn he'd seen
Some sombrero wearing guy.
He followed him close
He couldn't believe this.
Tex Mex in Tent City
Then he heard Kitty hiss.
Too late, the shot came from behind.
It burned as it ripped through.
The pain addled his mind.
The blood began to spread
"Ju es no more, Senior."
Tex Mex had said
"Soon ju all be dead."
Tex's informant
gave back his hat
Billy struggled
but his world went black
Tex Mex laughed
But Kitty leapt and attacked
Leaving a deep scratch
along his face
Tex fired again
But Kitty disappeared
without a trace
"It no matter. Billy es now gone
And before da rest know what's wrong
The town will be set ablaze."
Billy heard it all through his haze.
The voices moved on
They were finally gone
Kitty came along
And nuzzled his cheek.
Billy awoke with as gasp.
Tex Mex's plan he did grasp.
He mentioned something about TNT.
He had to get back to BG.
He rose slowly, "Well, I look like hell."
He took off his bloody shirt
"Ain't this swell?"
Looking down at the new wound
healing in his chest.
Now he was stuck wearing only his vest.
He bought a new shirt
Before returning to town.
He needed to find Myna
And give her the lowdown.
He took care not to be seen
If Tex Mex thinks him dead
It may give them an edge.
On bringing down that big bobblehead.
"Come on Kitty.
Let's find out what Myna thinks.
And then I owe you a drink."
