Smokin Guns

[Rasscal]

ooc: (per previous agreement with LWH I act this scene)

The door was closed but not locked, the giggling female voice and the hushed male ones inside telling me the occupants were undisposed. I pushed the door open with one hand and rapidly cross drew my pistol with the other as I stepped in and aimed it.

"You should have been thinking with the big head"

I commented and startled the couple as I did . The womans hand slid from her grip in the mans groin and his eyes went wide as he twisted, then winced as his pistol came into his hand.

"Too slow this time Dirk. Just like your brother."

My first 44 slug tore the gun out of his hand sending the woman screaming and huddling for shelter in the corner. My second tore into the wounded and now about to die Sherriff's throat and tossed his half upright body against the bed.

Changing my gaze from the copiously bleeding mans throat I admired the near nude woman and grinned as she tried to cover her well endowed breasts.

"Maybe next time, hotstuff"

The hall was empty, voices more concerned with thier own fun then the death of others and I made my getaway easily. Cool air on my face as I rode from town knowing there the last one who knew the secret of had just died and I would soon be a rich man.

Joe

Climbing back into the cot, I didn't argue with him, instead I lay back down and shut my eyes. He could remain awake as long as he wished, but the room was spinning too much for me to focus on anything any longer.

"Night Mayor.." I curled into a ball and dozed in and out.

Mona

: the door flung open and the man entered they where a bit busy she was pressed down to his lips kissing him wildly her hands roaming under the covers lightly fondling him happily as they both smiled under that kiss then the man spoke awakening both of them fully it all happened like lightening the guns Dirk had drew and then flung from his hand as she screamed and moved back to the corner huddling fro cover her eyes wide with fear as she looked terrified back to Dirk..." No.... Dirk... NOOOOOO!"

The shots fired rapidly one after the other Dirk's body was jerked from the Slug hitting his body she covered her yes seeing Dirk's lifeless body thrown against the bed as the man leered to her then said something ut what she didn't know all she knew was she wanted to see if he was still alive the man ran out and left just as suddenly as he came in:

" Dirk! Jesus Christ No ... SOMEBODY HELP... HELP ME ... Help us!" She ran to Dirk grabbing the blood stained body as he just fell limp in her arms , her hand to the wound at his neck praying someone heard her as she sat there rocking him crying holding him crying for Help." Dirk. No .. don't leave me, not now Dirk no please.. "

Joe

Hearing the gun shot startled me so badly I fell from the bed and onto the floor. Landing hard on my ass, I jumped up and tried to steady my drunken self. Grabbing for my gun belt, I slung it on over my underwear and wobbled quickly towards the door.

"What the fuck what that?!" I kept going towards the saloon where I heard screaming from an open window.
"Oh shit!" Running as best i could, I got inside the saloon and towards the stairs before anyone else was up and moving.

Barging into the room, I felt my stomach roll and tip as the sight that greeted me was .. indescribeable..

"WHAT HAPPENED??!?!" I barked out at Mona, my eyes taking in the dead sheriff. Leaning heavily against the door frame I tried to keep my stomach under control. Damned alcohol!

Mona

She was hysterical seeing someone coming thought that doorway again as she screamed even louder. " NO! Pleas not again leave him alone you have done enough NO!"

She ducked her head and covered her head unsure her arms lifted over her head to cover herself while she sobbed. Dirk had been someone one special to her not many ever got to her like he did , they had this bond. She huddled in the corner listening not hearing any more when she then peeked up seeing Joe standing there looking shocked.

"Joe...They...They Killed him, he just walked in here and shoot Dirk. Over and over he shot him, then he just walked away he left all he said was Dirk was not fast enough this time and he shot him. he killed Dirk Joe do something."

She still huddled in the corner shaking and sobbing staring at Dirk laying there against the door fame blood everywhere as she even had it all over her from being so close

Joe

Stunned, I couldn't believe this was happening.. Twice?! IN one damned day?

And the worse part was I was stone cold sober now. Sighing, I ran my hand through my hair, trying to pull out the tangles and thinking.

"Did you see who it was Mona? Which way did he go?" I moved towards her, peeking out the window for anyone retreating quickly and saw nothing.

"Stop! Dammit woman! I need you to collect yourself, now please.. Think! Anything you can recall to help me find this asshole??" I pleaded with her, wanting her attention elsewhere. Getting no responce other than a hiccup and a sob, I moved to the stairs.

"SOMEONE GET UP HERE!" Damn, I know they heard the damned shots, where the hell was everyone?!

Moving back to Mona I took her arm and helped (or tugged her mostly) away from Dirks dead body. "You are in protective custody until we can solve this. Come along." I half drug and half walked her out of there. She needed a bath.. GOD! Was that brain matter in her hair?! I felt ill and quickly sucked it up.. I had seen worse, much worse than this... Professional.. think professional. DAMN! I hoped to god I wasn't going soft!

"I am taking you downstairs and I do not want you back in this room until I have had a chance to look things over. Understood?" I marched her downstairs and pushed her towards another girl.

'Get her cleaned up and locked in a safe windowless room until I come back down. Got it?!" I barked at the paler girl. Slowly she nodded. "Cleaned up and watch her! No one comes in but me or the mayor to fetch her. If you screw this up, you'll be sorry!" I turned and ran back up the stairs, skipping a few steps on the way.

"SOMEONE GET NICK!" I hollered down. I was going to need help. I moved back to the doorway but did not enter. Moving down from door to door, I saw the rooms opened and crying hysterical girls everywhere.

"Anyone in your room with you?!" A head shake and I moved down further, having my gun readied just incase.

"Anyone in here with you?" I asked becca. She shook her head no. "Did you see anyone come this way?"

"N-No.. Our doors are shut at all times and locked for safety reasons.." I nodded and moved along, knocking on another door. Again and again I got the same answer until I came to the back entrance to the saloon down a flight of stairs. I seen nothing but the door was cracked open slightly.

My heart hammered hard, wondering if perhaps I was next? Slowly I crept down the stairs, listening for anything or anyone but heard nothing. Two steps up, I slowly opened the door by reaching down with my gun barrel and pushing it open. Jumping down onto the floor and then leaping out the door, I landed on my side with a grunt and aimed.

"DAMMIT!" Nothing!

Getting up and feeling stupid for a moment for doing such a stupid stunt, I got up and went back through the door. Pulling it shut, I threw the bar and locked it tightly. Now no one could come in, only out. That would help narrow down the suspects. Moving back up the stairs, I went back to the doorway, rubbing my bottom now and then on the way. It stung and I felt like I have gravel in my buttock. Pausing at the doorway once more I bellowed at the girls to shut their doors and leave them shut.
"AND NO CUSTOMERS!" I would shut this whole place down if i had to, but someone just killed a sheriff. That was a serious matter, no matter how long he was in office or his past history.

My eyes landed on a spent shell on the floor, the blood splatter and hints of foot prints or anything else. Could Mona have done this to him? From what I could see that wasn't possible with how badly her body was splattered.. And looking into the room the shots came from this side.. So Mona had to be on the other side of Dirk when he was shot..
