End of the track

Chapter 14: Reunited

Chris woke up next to Cal, in front of them was Jesse's father and Luke Montgomery both grinning. "hello there lads" Jesse's father said maniacally as Chis began to attempt to break free. "Don't bother trying to break out, those chains can basically hold an elephant" Luke added before punching Chris. "I have to say, you've made our life so much easier, You see I always wanted my daughter to marry a rich man. And now with Cal and you out of the way, I can finally make her" Jesse's dad explained before a worn Cal interrupted him, "Cut the fucking bullshit and tell us what you plan to do with the pair of us" "Always one to go straight to the point Cal" Luke tutted "its simple really, we're gonna turn you in and collect the bounty." Cal only chuckled at this "whats so funny?" Luke asked Cal. "You're plans, they are always either so simple or are just form of fucking over someone else plan" he told the two men which resulted with him being backhanded. "I would beat you up if I could however, we've a party to prepare" Luke told them before walking out of the room with Jesse's father close behind.

Several hours passed before the pair actually began to talk. "so Cal, got any ideas?" Chris asked, "uhhhhh nope, anyhow why are you asking me? your the guy who usually comes up with the plan" Cal answered. "well I'm gonna be completely honest, I can't see any way out of this, we are wanted in the west, and south and we can't really go any further west."

"unless...."

"Unless what?"

"unless we head to Canada?" Cal questioned hesitantly. "Actually that could work, we would have to get some light things and money before rescuing the girls and getting revenge, we would also have to escape." Chris told Cal, "I thought revenge was my sort of thing?" Cal asked, "No its just that you hate a lot of people and constantly want to kill them"

"Fair enough"

"now we just need to find a way out.... "

"Cor I needed this stretch"

"Wait what?"

Chris turned to see Cal free from his chains standing at his full hight stretching his limbs, Chris gave him a confused look which quickly turned to disgust as he watch Cal relocate both of his thumbs. "alright....lets get this over with" Cal told Chris, before his friend could react, he stuffed a rag into Chris's mouth and dislocated his thumbs. Chris gave a small cry of pain before slipping his hands out of the shackles and relocating his own thumbs. The pair silently made their way out of the room to see that they were right behind a gang member, Cal turned to face Chris who gave him a nod of approval. Cal then proceeded to take a wine bottle off of the shelf, he then checked to see if the gang member had any friends near by before smashing it over his head, he then flipped the bottle round and used what was left of it to stab the gang member in the throat. Cal and Chris then proceeded to escape outside and grab a carriage. Cal then proceeded to hand Chris his revolver. "Go get your girl and shoot those mother fuckers if you can" he told him before running back into the building to find Jesse.

Jesse had left the party and had gone back to her room, this was because of her fathers many attempts to pair her with a boy at the party. Suddenly her door began to creep open causing Jesse to run and hide behind it. A man crept in not noticing her, As he made his way into the moonlight Jesse recognised him. "Cal" she softly gasped as she came into his view, her white dress glowing lightly in the darkness, the pair slowly approached each other, trapped in the others beauty. "Hello Jesse" Cal  responded holding his arms out for a hug, Jesse smiled and accepted the hug, not caring if he was bruised, bloody or shirtless.

"There's been a change of plans" Cal told the happily tearful Jesse, "I don't care what the plan is, just don't think about dying or leaving me again" Jesse told him, Cal laughed. "If you say so Doll", Jesse instantly blushed at this new nickname. "Cmon we got to get outta here before things get hectic".

Chris stood in the ballroom watching people dance, he was now wearing a black and white suit with a purple bow tie. He struggled to spot Julia but eventually found her sitting at a table in the corner of the room, drunk but still dazzling in her dress. He made his way over and took the wine glass she was drinking out of her hands, he then proceeded to hoist her up and drag her towards the exit, however Julia had other plans. She suddenly dragged him into the centre of the dancing crowd and began to dance with him, "so what's going on?" She slurred which Chris thought was cute while they danced, "we found Cal and are about to leave this place, however I have a plan to get revenge on the men who betrayed us, Jesse's father and Luke Montgomery, now by what I can see Luke isn't here however we can still get Jesse's father" Chris told the drunk Julia who giggled away whilst they danced. unknown to the drunk Julia, Chris was actually moving the pair closer to Jesse's dad so that he could get a better shot at him.

At the finale of the dance Julia asked "so what happens now?" "This" Chris responded before kissing Julia, while he did that he also pulled out a revolver and fired hitting Jesse's father right between the eyes. Chris then pulled away from his passionate kiss with Julia and fled the ballroom dragging the confused, drunk and embarrassed Julia. Once outside he ran over to the carriage and put her in the back before climbing up front with Cal and grabbing a shotgun. As the group fled from the scene, loads of lawmen, gang members and mercenaries all under Luke's command took off behind them with intent to kill them all, unknown to the group.

The girls were in the back of the carriage getting changed out of their dresses and into normal clothes while the guys sat up front, they had passed through the swampland and were now heading up through the mountains. "so after all this is over what are you gonna do?" cal asked Chris while guiding the horses up the mountain trail "I'm not sure" Chris answered looking unsurely ahead "most likely a bounty hunter as they won't accept someone who is wanted in America as a deputy", Cal chuckled at Chris's joke. "what about you?" Chris asked, "cor, a hunter? anyway something like that..... Look out!" Chris didn't have time as a knife was buried in his side, Cal quickly reacted and blasted the mercenaries head open with a shotgun before pulling the horses to a stop on a ridge. He went to check on Chris before looking down the track with binoculars, Cursing at the sight of the many men following them.
