When the night grows nearer Jane starts to slow down when firing until she can hardly keep her eyes open. "come on lets get this stuff inside a-" before he can say anything she fell asleep sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. Kory puts the weapons inside and picks her up and places her on the only bed in the house Kory sleeping in a chair in the kitchen

as the sun begins to rise Jane wakes up and looks around. "huh where am I" as she steps out of the bed she rubs her eyes and pushes through the door into the kitchen. "Kory where are you" when her eyes focus she she finds Kory passed out in a chair next to the wooden table. she smiles as she sits next to him tapping Kory on the shoulder. "hey Kory wake up" as she does this Kory moves a bit before his eyes open. "wh what.....oh hi there Jane" she smiles as she waves. "hey there sleepy head" they both end up smiling. "well I guess I'ts time to get you to New York right" she shakes her head. "New York can wait a bit longer" he stands up and takes his revolver and starts to refill the cylinder. "so how did you sleep" she thinks for a bit. "I slept fine what about you" he shrugs and finishes putting bullets in the cylinder. "it was fine about what you'd expect from sleeping in a chair"her face turns red as she looks down. "Sorry about that if you want you can sleep in there tonight" he looks over at her. "uh then where would you sleep" she shakes her head and her face goes back to normal. "I'll figure something out" he puts the gun back down on the table. "no if your staying here you'll be treated better than I'd treat my self" she glances up at him. "why, your still a bandit and you treat me better than my fiance" Kory  looks over at her and looks back down at the ground "your going to New York because of your fiance" she nods as she takes the hat off. "then why marry someone that treats you horribly" she sighs as she traces the scratch marks on the table with her finger. "my dad, saying it's better for me to marry some one proper, it sucks being a daughter of a rich man" Kory shakes his head as he starts to stand up. "I don't agree with your fiance but you should probably get to New York if your getting married" Jane doesn't move as Kory grabs his gun on the table and grabs his hat. "I don't want to go" he leans on the wall putting his hat on. "you know that you should go" she turns to face to Kory. "why can't I go with you?" he takes a step towards her. "you know the laws after me and I've got to keep on running from them" she stands up just in front of him. "Then i'll run with you" he shakes he head. "no Jane you cant do that" she steps closer to him "please don't make me go to New York" he steps back. "I....I actually need to go to New York" her expression quickly changes "so you where using me" he shakes his head. "no you where just going to the same place I was" she sighs. "lets just go" he goes to reach for her but shrugs him off as she walk out the door. "but we didn't need to"
