"Wow now, try not to move so much kid. You took quite a beating out there, you shouldn't push yourself." Said the elderly voice next to me.
I opened my eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. The old man sitting next to me had on a simple pair of overalls with a plaid shirt. "You need to take some more rest. You're lucky to be alive right now; I had to pick about 4 pieces of lead out of your skull."
"Lead… I don't remember anything." I said as I sat up.
"Do you remember your name at least? I have to fill out a form as a formality." He said with a chuckle. "My name is Mitchell. Doc Mitchell."
"John, my name is John. But other than that I can't remember anything else about my past." I said to the doctor.
"Well it's nice to meet you John. Well if you think you can stand why don't you head over to that vigor tester machine on the other side of the room. Let's see if we can learn anything about you."
After another hour of talking and seeing what I can remember, we he showed me to the door. "Here, these are what we found you in." he said handing me a backpack. "You should throw on those cloths before you go outside, wouldn't want to scare anyone by having a naked kid running around. How old are you anyway?"
"I'm 18." I said as I take the backpack from his hand. "Did I have anything in here that could tell you anything about me?"
He shook his head and turned to walk back to his couch. "Sorry, but I've done all I can for you kid. Come on back if your ever hurt. I would love to chat with you again."
"Thank you." I say as I walk out the door.
Outside the sun glared bright overhead. The vast desert just over a small pin of big horners. A small town set directly in-between a canyon and open desert. I begin to walk to the building by the road, seeing as the doctor had said that was the saloon. Crossing the sand I couldn't help but feel like I had been to this place many times before.
"You had better just give him up right now, before I burn this whole town to the ground!" yelled a voice from inside. Immediately I reached for one of the two pistols that were in the backpack that the doctor had said I had with me. The two were a matching set, chromed slides with dark wooden grips. Each had a single word etched into the side. On one Regulator, while the other had Desperation. The grip slid into my hand quickly and quietly as I opened the door and crept inside.
"Give up Ringo, save this town of yours the trouble." Said a man in a blue and black uniform with a bulletproof vest. "We will let everyone live. But if you don't tell me then I cant make any promise."
"I don't think so Cobb. I think you need to get out of my bar and out of this town." The woman replied calmly.
Cobb drew his revolver from its holster on the side of his uniform. "Do you think this is funny? I am personally going to kill you."
During this exchange I walked up behind the man and pressed the barrel of Regulator against his head. "That's enough now, I think it's time you left. Before you even think about coming back remember this though, this town is now under my protection. Lay a finger on anyone here and I will take down your entire operation."
Cobb nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned to face me. His eyes locked on mine, right before he ran for the door and left. "I will be back, I'm going to kill you all!" he shouted as he ran out of the saloon.
"Well you must be that boy the doctors been workin on for the past week. Thanks for helping with that little problem, but I have a feeling that's not gonna be the last we see of him. Anyway my names Trudy, You would be?"
