Shades of the Old West
A (January 2017) chapter by 3Gun when he was required to answer a challenge from a cowboy whose gal was in jail along with a band of female train robbers, the Steel gang. Not exactly sure at what point this was. Seemed CG, a news reporter, was under the doctor's care at the time.
Another day at his office - the saloon.
"Sheriff, sheriff!" Little Ron cried
"There's a man wants to see you.
He's waitin' outside!"
CG's breathing was steady
3Gun looked at the Doc
Doc nodded back "When you're ready."
Outside, in front of the saloon
Where the street lanterns flickered
The man stood 'neath a full moon
3Gun eyed the stranger
Dressed like a drover
He took a pause to assess the danger
"You got my gal inside your jail.
I want her out now
or you I'm gonna nail."
3Gun shifted his feet and sighed
He explained his case
But the words just died
The stranger drew, shots rang out
It was over in a second
And he heard Unger let out a shout
A glass was placed on the bar with care
And he took it with him
To his seat under the stair
After a moment the music started again
It was business as usual
3Gun drank away his heart's pain
