 JACK'S POV

 I kneeled by my father's grave. " I'm sorry " I say to it, and the same to my mother's. I walk to the front door of the house, but I don't turn the knob. I back away, and whistle for my horse. I hadn't seen Missy, and I missed her. I lead my horse to the rode, and got on. I began to ride towards Armadillo. I knew the journey would be at least two hours.

 Finally, I arrive in Armadillo, and walk in to the saloon. The woman I'm here to see catches my eye, and I catch hers. I sit at a bar stool, waiting for my Chance to talk.

MISSY'S POV

I was so happy to see Jack! I hadn't seen him in weeks, and had no idea where he had been. I would go talk to him, but first I was going to finish my poker game. I had bet 10$, and wasn't losing. I didn't! " I never lose at his game! " I thought. A mysterious figure walked into the room, he had long brown hair, dark eyes, and a red bandana hung around his neck. " Deal me in " he told they guy to my right.

The guy was ambitious. He bet 20$! Poor guy, I was going to beat him, and get this money to help Jack pay his pardon letter. I was wrong. For the first time in forever, I lost a game. " I never lose! whoa..." I said to the guy. He had won the game. " Get used to it, Honey " He said. Jack began to eye him for that comment. I couldn't tell if he was being rude on purpose, or if he was trying to psyche me out.

MAKS POV

I wasn't being rude on purpose. It was a rule of mine to try and psyche my opponents out of winning. I almost felt sorry. I sat at the bar stool beside a man in a hat. " I don't like the way you were talking to her " he told me. " What cha' gonna' go about it, mister? " I asked him. " You ever heard of the last name Marston!? " he asked me. I was shocked. I had heard that last name. " I have " I told him.

 He laughed. " You're in for it now! " he said to me. I was going to fight him, but I didn't. I laughed, and told the bar tender " I'd like to buy this man a drink ". I didn't think he would drink it, but he did. " Thanks, I guess..." he said to me. " Just helping a brother out " I said. I saw two figures in the corner of my eye. It was  federal agents

JACK'S POV

 I didn't know if the guy saw the agents, but he must have, because he leaned in towards me, and said " You must do exactly as I say, I'm going to help you ". So I did. He handed me his wallet, and shouted " THIS MAN STOLE MY WALLET!!!!! ". I panicked. He wasn't helping me, he was trying to get me arrested! Missy looked over at me scared. The federals walked over and said to him " We'll take care of him for you ". " No, I'll kill him myself! " he said, winking at me. " Ok, but we want to watch! " The guy looked at me, like he was turning over the problem in his head. " Ok, follow me " He finally said. He put a gun to my head.

MISSY'S POV

I watched in horror as the guy, and the federals lead Jack out of the saloon. I saw them get on a horse, so I mounted mine, and followed. I followed them closely on the hill to the right of the rode. I can't beleive that guy beat me at poker, then was going to take Jack away from me. I was going to do something about it. The federals stayed behind, while the man walked jack up to flat iron lake. He put a gun to Jack's head. He was going to shoot Jack, then push him in to the water! I pulled out my revolver. But wait, what if this guy could do that dead eye thing Jack can do? I would be helpless....

MAKS POV

I put the gun to Marston kid's head. I whispered into his ear. " Stay under until they leave ". I shot the gun into the air, then pushed him into the water. I looked up at the federals. They seemed satisfied. They rode off. I was wondering why Marston boy wasn't coming back up.

JACK'S POV

He pushed me in! He probably thought I could swim. I couldn't. It brought back the traumatic flashback of California. I was on the ferry with Missy, and I was shooting bandits. Out of nowhere, I was thrown overboard. I was thrashing, and kicking. Except Missy's hand reached out and grabbed me. It must have happend in real life too, because all of a sudden, I was on dry land. Watching Missy and the guy argue.

MISSY'S POV

" Why did you try to kill him!? " I demanded." I didn't, I was trying to save him! " he told me. " Didn't look like it! " I yelled at him. " look, I thought he could swim. At least he's alive. Those federals were after him, and he's really wanted " he explained. " They were? why? " I asked him. " He must have told you, he's wanted in connection withthe murder of Edgar Ross. He's Jack Marston " he said to me. " That I am!, and who might you be? " Jack suddenly asked him. " Maks, Maks Williamson " He told us both.

MAKS POV

I could see the look in their faces. " Yes, I'm Bill Williamson's boy " I finally answered their silent questions. " S-so why did you help me? " Jack asked. " Just helping a brother out " I said again like I had in the saloon. " Is there any way we can repay you? " Missy asked. I laughed. " Not unless you can fight an Army's fight, and help me kill Nathaniel Vuag, my old gang leader" I told them. " I can help with that " Jack told me. " Ok friend, Follow me " I told him.

I lead them to the old Tumbleweed mansion. They followed me down to the celler. " I hear voices " Missy said at last. " Oh, you'll meet them, tey're here to help us " I say.

JACK'S POV

Maks lead us into a room. There was a cnadle in the center of a table. All around the table sat a group of men. " Boys, this is Jack Marston and Missy Morganson, they'll help us break into the mountain fort. " Ehh, she's a wee lass " said an irish man, speaking about Missy. " Now listen mister,she's just as capable as you, if not more so " I tell him. " Jack's right, keep your mouth shut McSlayer! " Maks shouted at him.

MISSY'S POV

These guys were ready. They had already planned a major attack on the fort Mak's old gang was hiding in. They were going to pretend to be a supply cart, but inside the cart is a gattling gun. Someone is going to drive the cart inside. We're going to pull the top off. Another one of us is going to shoot the gattlin gun, why the rest of us shoot, and fight for our lives! The plan didn't sound very organized to me, but I guess it could work. Maks assigned us all positions. I was the fastest horse rider, so I would be the one ready to get back up. Jack was the sniper.

MAKS POV

We were hiding in the cart. Jack gripped the sniper rifle in his hand. Missy and a few others were riding a few miles behind. We stopped, and Jack got out. He climbed up a ladder to a wooden perch. I nodded to him, to make sure he was ready. He nodded back. It was time. A lone rifle man guarded the enterance. He let us in, thankfully not checking the cart. As soon as we got in, Jack fired the first shot! A man fell to the ground. It had begun!

JACK'S POV

I fired the first shot. I saw the guy driving the cart begin to shoot his rifle. Maks pulled the top off the cart, and McSayer began to shoot the gattlin gun. I fired more shots, sniping like crazy. I took special care not to shoot any of the men I saw at the table. As soon as the real fighting started, Missy's group rode in, shooting like a real cavalry. I was sou proud of her, taking the leadership role! I hadn't been discovered yet, so I shot a few more times.

MISSY'S POV

I felt so alive! I rode around shooting all these guys before they could evern pull the trigger! Somehing deep down inside of me felt bad though. Said that these men were just following orders. I pushed these feelings away. "I was helping Maks, these men deserve it" I told myself.

MAKS POV

I ran around shooting my shotgun! I scanned the area looking for Nathaniel. Back in the gang, we'd called him Nate who couldn't get a date. We were childish. When we got older, he was just Nate. I would never call him that, not again. I saw him hiding in a house at the end of the fort. I ran off towards it. I wasn't careful enough because I was shot in my shoulder. I screamed out in pain. Despite all my antics, I'd only ever been shot once. I saw Jack hop off his perch, and get on the back of Missy's horse. He shot as she drove. They rode over to me, and helped me make my way there. I got to the house, but there were two guys standing guard.

JACK'S POV

I saw the men. I used my old dead eye trick, and shot them before they even knew what to do. We got off the horse, and followed Maks inside. We slowly made our way through the house. Surprisingly, there were no men inside. We slowly inched upstairs. We heard a scribbling sound coming from the room down the hall. We walked in. At the desk sat a man, writing a letter. He turned to us, pistol in hand, and said " Why it's Maks, the prodigal son returns! "  

 MISSY'S POV

Just hearing this guy's voice made me want to hate him. I nearly pulled my pistol on him, but he would have hot Maks if I did. I sat there an listened to what he had to say. I only half listened to Maks and him arguing over betrayal, and things like that. " Fine! " The man finally said. " I'm done arguing this with you! ". He shot Maks in the leg. Jack used dead eye, and shot the pistol out of his hand.

MAKS POV

I felt the pain shoot up my leg. I didn't care. Not when I was this close. I pulled my shot gun on him. " I have waited too long for this! " I shouted, and shot him. He sat there coughing up blood. I opened up my satchel. Inside there was a medallion he had given me the day I joined his gang. " I don't want this anymore " I told him, as I left it sitting on his dead body. I picked up his hat, brushed it off, and put it on. " I claim my prize " I said to myself.

 JACK'S POV

We walked outside to find we'd won the battle. I asked Maks if there was anything left to do. He said no, and gave Missy the money he'd won from her in poker back. " If anything, I owe you one now Marston " Maks told me. I grinned for the first time in a few weeks. The three of us mounted our horses. " Let's Ride! " Missy told us, as we rode down the mountain. I wasn't sure where we were going, and neither did they. But that was just fine.
