Bespoke didn't have enough time to jump back this woman was to fast. Ghastly was punched right across the jaw echoing out a crunch, quickly followed by his screams. The silky haired woman waved her hand and Ghastly was shot back into the wall of the Saloon.

Now it was Dexter's turn.

Vex swung this way and that, each swing she weaved through. Suddenly the woman put both her hands on Dexter's chest and he was shot back, colliding with Ghastly. 

Dexter stumbled to his feet. Was that blood he could taste? And what had he just landed on? It was surprisingly squishy. Dexter looked down and saw a bloodied Ghastly "Oh".
"Who are you" Dexter shouted
The woman remained silent
"What do you want"
Silence
Dexter thought for a minute "Who do you work for?"
The woman smiled.

That's when Ghastly's brute from the bar came stumbling through the door, bruised and bloodied. When he sore the woman his face was slapped with shock.
"Darling?!" He crocked out "But..but how is that possible" He stumbled closer "I saw..I saw your body..there was so much blood..I" He limped to her feet and grasped both her shoulders. "Please..Sweetheart..just tell me what's happening..tell me what's wrong"
The woman leaned in close and whispered "I'm not your Sweetheart" then she sent him flying across the ground and slamming into the wall of the Bar.
