Clara walked up to the teller and smiled brightly, she'd seen the man about town, in the saloon, and twice in the past two weeks at the brothel, apparently, he went there every Thursday. She looked back over her shoulder at the other two women who stood near the entrance and winked before looking back at the teller.<br/><br/>"Fred isn't it? How's your wife?" Clara asked sweetly, smile still on her face.<br/><br/>"She's doing well, Miss. I know I've seen you around town, staying with the girls aren't you?" He asked.<br/><br/>"I am. The preacher and Doc's wife seemed to have a problem with me staying at his house while I recovered from that bandit attack." She shook her head sending a wave of blonde hair flipping over her shoulder, "I can't imagine why."<br/><br/>Fred smiled, his eyes obviously trailing down to Clara's neckline and then lower as she stood in front of him, before he coughed, turned a little red and spoke again. "Uh.. what can I do for you Miss?"<br/><br/>"Clara, please. I had been trying my luck at cards and won this." She reached into her top and pulled out a long gold necklace, decorated with a few diamonds and a ruby pendant that hung low from the chain. Fred's eyes widened at the sight of it. "I hear you have quite the safe here, and I need a place to keep it till I'm ready to leave town."<br/><br/>Fred nodded and looked back at the other two ladies before eyeing Clara again. "My escorts. The man I won it from didn't seem too happy about parting with it," she told him without prompting.<br/><br/>"Follow me," Fred told her, pulling open the door that led to the back of the bank. Clara turned and waved the two along behind her, subtly waving with her hands to put away their guns. Fred escorted them into a smaller room in the back, complete with a desk, several wooden chairs and rather a large, squat, black safe marked with the name Diebold. "Miss Clara, I can assure you, your jewels will be safe here. This is the latest in bank technology, triple locked, and thicker than a drunkard's skull. It's impossible to blow this thing open without taking down half the town and destroying whatever is in the safe. Need it in a place like this too."<br/><br/>"Looks pretty safe to me." Clara agreed, "Let's get this in there so I can pay my friends here. They want to get back to drinking I'm sure."<br/><br/>"Sure thing Miss Clara." Fred crouched down and started opening the trio of locks while the women watched. After a few minutes, and with a satisfying 'click' Fred pulled the handle and the safe swung open. "The necklace Miss?"<br/><br/>Clara smiled and held it out, her other hand pulling out a knife, "This thing? It's just some clever gold plate and colored glass Fred. Thanks for opening the safe though. We'd like to keep this quiet though Fred, so don't make a sound or we'll have to kill you. Ladies?"
