The Outcast

Chapter 3 - English men

(Haven't gone other this so there gonna be mistakes but it's been a while so have fun)

It was busy for me and Alex. We both where getting ready to leave in search for Alex's brother.

The horses Clyde and Coal (Alex's black standardbred), where hitched up and saddled. We doubled checked out saddles, our saddle bags and guns incase they were lose.

"You girls ready?." Steve asks walk up from the sheep pen.

"Yep." Alex says jumping on coal. I jump on Clyde "thank you, for everything."

"No thank you girls me and my wife never was able to have girls. And Bell always wanted girls you made her happy. You girls are like daughters to me as well."

Saying our good byes we jump on the horses.

"Hey wait," Kirk called as he rushes with his Morgan horse "I'll come to."

I roll my eyes. Not Kirk I hate Kirk we always starts arguments with just about anyone and he has this weird thing for Alex and me. He gets jealous other Alex and try's to argue blame me and sometimes Alex.

Before I could reject him two men stroll up on Arabians  back. Both were in suits a round black hat and with a curled mushce.

We normally have travellers passing threw but these two were no travelers.

"Good afternoon lady's and gentlemen." It was a British accent. I swollow a hard lump in the back of my throat, I just had a bad feeling about this. "We are agents from england and we was wondering if you could help us."

Both jump of their horses "we are here looking for someone under the name of Gwen fisher we heard she was working at this ranch."

I froze. All of a sudden all the noise zones out till I heard nothing. Just a women scream and the words 'murderer' is all could hear.

"Gwen fisher?" Steven brakes me out of my trance "hmm... don't think I've heard of her."

"She right there." Kirk points out smirking my way "that's Gwen she came over from England 5 years ago."

Everyone steals in disbelief.

"Gwen fisher please get down from that horse." One of them holds Clyde rains and he freaks out a little "you will be taken back to England for murder ms Fisher."

Everyone's eyes is on me but before the could reach out for me I turned Clyde around pulling one of them the ground. I kick for Clyde to run. And we bolted down out of emerald ranch I take a look behind me and Alex had followed and then Kirk calling out for her to wait for him.

I can just about see the agents one of them got up and jumped on their horses and chased us.

Got to the oil factory's and charged threw the houses people jumping out of the way. One guy was playing the banjo. As I got threw I turn Clyde round sharply and stopped as Alex came spending three with Kirk behind her.

As the agents got closer I pulled out my revolver and point at some boxes and shot. The boxes fell courseing the agents horses to buck and bolt away.

Arabians are always so skittish.

"Let's go." I turn Clyde around "if we want to get to stawberry by tonight," I nudge Clyde into a trot then into a gallop. going past Alex and Kirk who follow behind.

After a while making sure we a far enough we go into a trot. ALex pulls up beside me "what was that about?" She asks "why where they after you?"

I kept my eyes forward.  "Because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, hell with it I was framed by some back stabbing people."
