I was cleaning up the place with Elizabeth I heard someone yell "Son of a b*tch!" But more likely a growl.

I went outside only to see William pointing his gun again at the pig, I sighed.

In the distance I heard horses clicking their hooves, I noticed who they were and ran inside quickly.

I ended up hiding behind the door as I looked through the window on the other side.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen. And women." He said "and John." The man greeted.

"John, Mr. Dolan and Mr.Murphy here are complaining about their merchandise wagon being plundered.... on several occasions on their way into town. Quite frankly, John they think you're behind it."

"That's a fargin lie and you no it!" Richard said.

"Richard!" John scolded.

"Sheriff Brady... Mr.Murphy is going to continue coming to you and claiming I've taken his property until I pronounced the thief and shaken out of Lincoln I've never touched his property I have no cause." John said.

Murphy chuckled, "Well, the beltader has spoken. Look behind you, all I see are common thieves and a pretty lady." Murphy said only for Harry to take his gun out.

"Harry knock it off!" John said.

John continued his defense

"You have no proof." Elizabeth interrupted John.

"Elizabeth." John orders making her quiet.

"I heard that you educate young boys and girls." Murphy said after getting off his horse making his guys laugh.

"Rumor has it that you want to be bidding against me for the government beef contracts."
Murphy said.

"It's just a rumor isn't it?"

They continued talking, "You have a beef outfit and a store." John said.

"I have a beef outfit and a store." Murphy said mimicking.

"You're going to try to make money, I'm going to try to make money. It's simple and it's fair." Murphy said.

"Do you see how good ours is sitting up there on that horse?" Murphy pointed.

"You know how much money he's going to invest it to my store? His life savings, John and it's not just Brady who wants me to be getting those contracts. Territorial District Attorney." Murphy said.

"The Chief Justice. The U.S District Attorney."

"The Santa Fe Ring, it's a Family ring. John and you don't come prancing in here with your fat foreign Capital... and try to change things." He said.

"I made a very long steamship, journey from London, Mr. Murphy. So, I should be d*mmned if I'm going to be dissuaded.. by something as ugly as political corruption. So, I'd like you to take your threats...your sheriff.... and get off my property!" John said.

"You're ambitious, Earl. But you'd be better off selling ladies." He said looking at Elizabeth Harry moved her behind him.

"Undergarments in Hempstead's." Murphy finished.

His group laughed as he got on his horse.

Immediately the regulators pointed their guns at them, his group took their guns out also.

"Alright that's enough!" ordered Brady.

"Clear the way!"

"This is a new country we won't be bowing down to you no more, English people!" Murphy said.

"Get ready for hell!" He finished and road off with the others.

"Back to work chaps." John said to the regulators.

I made eye contact with Richard before he took off, John looked at both William and I.

I was helping Elizabeth cook and such when there was knocking, I answered seeing a guy, he just smirks "Mr.Tunnsel here?" He asked.

I didn't take my eyes off not trusting him but yelled "Mr.Tunnsel someone here to see you!" he came up behind me I went back to cooking.

We went to the store a dog chasing us along the way as we road behind the horse in the wagon, I ended up getting new clothes and so did William I'll admit he even looked more better then before.

He just smirks picking me up, "William" I said laughing and he sets me down which made me trip losing my balance almost falling backwards but he caught me luckily we were interrupted by Elizabeth "Time to go." She said we nodded he set me down.

William put his new hat on and did a couple tricks with both his guns.

We were on the roof top. As Chavez was throwing knives at the bucket from the wishing well.

The others watched in amazement I took my gun out William nodded at me as he took both his out, we smirked.

Before anyone could say anything we started shooting at the bucket, which made it explode they all took cover as we kept shooting I was biting my lower lip trying hard not to laugh.

We watched in amusement as they took their guns out, the regulators looked up to see us, but William and I bursted into fits of laughter.

"D*mn it William and Mary!" Harry shouted.

John and Elizabeth came running out Elizabeth more worried "What happened?!?"

"Regulators!" John shouted.

"Let's dance." John  said after we stopped laughing.

Elizabeth looked up at us and just shook her head sighing.
