Face gave Deac an extra hard shove as he led him to his brothers, glaring at the man. Murdock looked over; he rarely saw the handsome con-man so pissed-off. But, he'd been like that all day, ever since that yokel had grabbed Amy in the diner. He watched as Deac smirked at Face, and just started laughing.

Face growled at him. "What the hell's so funny?" he spat.

"You think you got there in time, do ya?"

Face's eyes popped, his mouth pulling into an even deeper scowl if that was possible. He then picked the hammer that Logan had earlier yanked out of his hand back up, and walked over to Deac, twirling it.

"You wanna repeat that, Bub?"

"Face!" Hannibal barked. "We're gonna take 'em to jail."

"Yeah, yeah, in a second, Hannibal..." Face said dismissively, waving their leader off. "Now... what was that again?"

Deac looked at him unsurely, but Harold spoke up, his squeaky voice worried. "Aw, we didn't do nothin'! Y'all showed up first!"

Face looked at him sharply, and then back to Deac, almost as if for confirmation.

"Yeah, yeah..." Deac muttered. "But, that pretty brunette... she wouldda been purrin' like a kitten in cream if'n you'd've come by three minutes later." he said with false bravado he no longer felt.

Face reached out with the hammer, hitting him hard in the manhood. Even BA winced as Deac screamed, clutching to himself. But, Face bent down, whispering for only Deac to hear, "Consider yourself lucky you didn't get your filthy meathooks on her; because I'd've grabbed that axe over there and cut it off." he growled.

And, Deac finally looked as frightened as Harold ever had as Face yanked him into a standing position.

"Get walkin'!" Face muttered, shoving him forward.

And, the rest of the team exchanged glances, wondering what the Lieutenant had said, but kept quiet, walking the rest of the Watkins brothers towards the townfolk, where Hannibal started asking the Sheriff to temporarily deputize himself some help to get them to jail. Amidst the clapping of the grateful town, they got back into the truck and started back towards the farm, back to Trish and Amy. Murdock sat in the back with Face, while Hannibal and BA were in the front, driving.

Murdock studied Face intently for a while.

"Will you stop that?" Face snapped irritably.

"Sorry..." Murdock said softly. "Geez, you're in a mood..." he muttered.

But, in truth, he'd seen the look on his best friend's face as he raced up those steps, heard the fear in his voice when he asked Amy if she were okay. Even over comforting Trish, he saw how Amy clung to Face, and the fear still in those baby blue eyes as he clung to her, one hand on her waist until he'd walked her out to the car to send her out of danger...

"BA! Doesn't this truck go any faster?" Face snapped, tapping at the back glass.

BA opened his mouth to say something, but Hannibal shook his head. "Let it go." the Colonel mouthed. "Amy."

BA only grunted indulgently and drove on back to the farm...
