<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Wally, the factory worker</span></span><br/><strong>Location:</strong><em>The Brazen Hussy</em>, "one of the town's seedier bars"<br/><strong>With:</strong>Phil, Levi<br/><br/><em><strong>"Ah ah ah, my four of a kind beats yours."</strong></em><br/><br/>For a moment, I looked in disbelief.<br/><br/><strong>"But the probability of you havin' a hand that can beat mine is under 1%.  Your four aces and a queen beat my four kings and an... ace?!"</strong><br/><br/><em><strong>"It was nice to play with you, sir. Now, if you'll excuse me, I really need to be returning to my ship."</strong></em><br/><br/>I stood up suddenly, my chair falling over behind me, as I pulled out my revolvers and aimed both at the man's head.<br/><br/><strong>"The hell you ain't!  Why you low down, dirty...  Ya'll cheated!  Lookee here.  Five aces on the table.  Ain't no way that's possible, not with no <em>straight</em> deck."</strong><br/><br/><em><strong>"I think I'm about done with this game. I have to find a ride anyway. You boys have fun."</strong></em><br/><br/>My guns still on the man, I looked to the lady.<br/><br/><em><strong>"How about a drink boys. One for the road...and a bottle for our brave man here. Can't let you walk away empty handed after such a bold move."</strong></em><br/><br/>That got my wheels turning.  I looked to the man again.<br/><br/><strong>"Hand after hand you been winnin', and if it wasn't you takin' mah money, then it was... her!"</strong><br/><br/>Keeping one gun on the man, I aimed the barrel of my second gun away from him and at at the lady's head.  The gathering crowd stepped back, then turned and made a run for it.  They may have had guns of their own, but they weren't going to risk being around to get tagged by one of my bullets neither.<br/><br/><strong>"Ya'll ain't goin' nowhere, 'cept to the back where <em>both</em> of you and me are gonna have a little chat.  Now reach for the sky 'fore I put a couple of new holes in your heads, varmints."</strong><br/><br/>I cocked both guns, the chambers a-spinning<em>clickety-clickety-clack</em>, lettin' them see just how serious I was if their hands didn't go up.  I kept looking at the man, but tilted my head toward the lady as I spoke.<br/><br/><strong>"You.  Cheatin' whore.  Gather up all that cash and all them chips and put it all in that there belt bag of yours.  And don't you give me no lip neither, or I swear to Christ I will pistol whip you with this here smokewagon.  I don't hit no ladies, but you ain't no lady, and you won't look like one with a black eye, a bloody lip and a broke nose."</strong><br/><br/>As I waited for her to do what I done told her, I stared the man down.<strong>"I ought to shoot you dead where you stand for what you done to me, and I'd be in the right.  But I got other plans for you... you and your partner here."</strong><br/><br/>When the table was cleared, I motioned for both of them to stand up and go out the back.<br/><br/><strong>"One wrong move from <em>either</em> of you and I <em>will</em> blast both of ya'll with these here handcannons."</strong><br/><br/>Outside, I had them both face the wall.<br/><br/><strong>"Reach back <em>real</em> slow like, slut, and hand me that there bag.  We almost done here.  Keep doing as you're told and you'll walk away from this.  Unless you rather I shoot you dead and just take what's rightfully mine off your corpses."</strong><br/><br/>I waited for her to comply, always reminding both of them that I could take their lives with the movement of my fingers.<br/><br/><strong>"Now both of ya'll turn around and face me."</strong><br/><br/>I looked into each of their eyes.<br/><br/><strong>"That's a real nice outfit, bitch, real shiny like.  Bet it cost you a pretty penny.  Take it off, all of it, every scrap, and put it in a pile at your feet.  And remember what I said before about no back talk from you.  Do it quick or do it slow, don't matter none to me.  But if you <em>don't</em> do as I say, well, I hope you made your peace with God, because you're about to meet your maker.  You <em>and</em> your boyfriend here."</strong><br/>
