Jailed
AJ was outside when he heard a commotion,
Lou and Buck in argument again.
It happened right in front of the saloon,
And ended when a man stepped in.
The man kissed Lou to Buck's surprise,
The poor Scot couldn't believe his eyes!
"Give it to him, Buck!" said a voice from across the street,
Soon enough jaws were clashing with fists.
AJ saw Lou walked away from the men,
Crossed the street and asked him,
"Hi, AJ, is Ms Darkly in?
I need to tell her something."
"I think she is inside Lou,
But aren't you going to stop those two?"
"Nope, AJ, I'll let them slug it out.
There's someone at the jail the deputy needs to know about."
AJ nodded as Lou went inside,
He then resumed watching the fight.
"He's open, Buck, this is you chance!"
AJ advised as he watched the brutal dance.
All stopped when the Sheriff stepped in,
Asked both men what they think they were doing.
AJ was quiet as he watched from the cafe,
Buck started to explain.
The sheriff told Buck to go look for Lou,
To sort things out, talk things through.
The other guy, Brody, butted in and asked,
Who does 3Gun think he was?
"I'm the sheriff, son, and your going to jail."
The sheriff then looked across the street,
"You're coming with us too, AJ!"
"Me?!" AJ asked in surprise.
He took no part in the fight.
"You were egging Buck, AJ.
I heard that as clear as day.
And I need help around the jail."
Relief washed over AJ's face,
He wasn't going to prison, not today.
The baker walked beside Brody,
When the man whispered to him.
"How about letting me walk free,
You have to know that Lou needs me."
AJ told him thats not going to happen,
"Only the sheriff can make that decision."
"I knew you'd say that," Brody said.
Elbowed AJ in the chest, caught him unaware.
He swept the baker of his feet,
He then began to run for it.
"Really?!" AJ asked in disbelief.
The baker stood up and ran after Brody,
Directed a clean kick behind his knee.
A well aimed punch straight to his nape,
Put him to sleep, no chance of escape.
Aj then bound Brody's feet and hands,
Carried him like a sack into prison.
"Where do you want him, sir?" Aj asked 3Gun.
"On that cell with Buck's twin, that's where he belongs."
