There's a New Sheriff in Town
.
"What do you think I should do then!"
At that her lip curled into an evil smirk, "Become Sherriff."
.
Logan replayed her advice in his head over and over again. He may know where BillyJoe stays at, but where is Tatera. Then he thought why go to Tatera when he can make the 'king' come to him. It only made strategical since.
…
BillyJoe slept with his cowboy hat tipped over his face, as his blue poppy alligator boots sat on his wooden desk in the abandoned gas station when he heard the sound of a door slamming.
Without moving, he muttered, "SophieAnn stop slammin te damn door."
Silence followed only broken by the sound of a drink being poured into a glass. Upset his sister just refused to stop making noise he unfolded his feet and tipped his hat up with his finger, eyes bulging.
"Whiskey?" Logan asked sitting across from BillyJoe with a shot glass in each hand.
"How te hell did ya find me!" he said pulling his legs back, fumbling with his pants pocket to pull out his pistol. Logan watched BillyJoe whip his unsteady hand around with the gun and before it fired Logan dropped one glass, sliced the barrel of the gun, and caught the glass before it hit the ground.
"Do … don't … k … ka… Kill me!"
Logan liked the fear in his eyes. That meant he was a talker. Good.
"I want Tatera."
"You want him? Well I can tell ya where … where he's at!" BillyJoe stuttered.
Logan polished off his glass, tossed it to the floor, and rose menacingly. He watched BillyJoe cower in front of his shorter form. Grabbing the phone, "Call 'em. I want him here now!"
BillyJoe quickly dialed the number. After three sonorous rings Tatera answered.
On speaker phone, "BillyJoe what do you want now? I aint giving you anymore money!"
"We need ta talk. Meet me at my hideout."
"Is it about money?"
"Fraid not."
…
After two and a half hours Tatera finally drove his F1-50 into the parking lot.
"He's here now so can I go please!" BillyJoe begged for the zillionth time.
"You know what I hate bout you BillyJoe, is that you had the nerve to come in my house and take my little girl, but when I come after you, you aint man enough to face me sitting here crying like a ."
"BillyJoe who's this?" Tatera asked as he entered the room.
"So BillyJoe heres been telling me things. One of them was that you had him kidnap my daughter."
"BillyJoe you spineless cow, you weren't sposed to say anything. Now I got to deal with your messes … again." He said pulling out a gun and shot Logan.
The hit forced LLogan to take a hit back, but that was about it, so he shot again and again.
"It aint gonna work." Logan told him.
"Told you he was some kind of freak!"BillyJoe said pointing to Logan.
"Hmm just like our beloved Guildsmaster," Putting the gun away, "What is it you want? Money, your daughter, me dead …"
"No," Logan interrupted, "I want to be Sheriff."
Laughing, "Why would ya want to be a stupid thing like that?"
"That's none of your concern. You see your current Sheriff over there practically pissin his pants at the mere sight of me?"
"Unfortunately."
"Why have that Sheriff when I can be. I've killed what fifty, fifty two,…"
"63." BillyJoe reminded him.
"Oh yeah 63 of your men. I've taken some of their weapons, destroyed families, and I even no about your little secret society. But as far as the rest of yall know I'ma killer. No one will dare question anything I say cause they all know that if they did they'll end up like the other 63."
"You may have a point Logan, but I still don't see what being Sheriff grants you?"
"You talk as if you have a choice bub. If I wanted you both dead right now you would be unless you're going to try shooting me again."
"So if I agree to make you Sherriff what do you get out of this? As you so rudely stated i'm responsible for your daughter's disappearance."
"Hahaha."
"What's so funny?" Tatera asked irked by Logan's behaviors.
"I know BillyJoe that Tatera has been planning on killing you …"
"Is this true King?" BillyJoe asked.
"Yes it is."
"You bastard why would you … I gave everything to serve you."
"Apparently not enough." Tatera said cutting him off.
"And I also know the Guildsmaster wants you dead Tatera. Becoming Sheriff just gets me a lot closer to replacing you when your boss offs you."
Tatera glared at Logan. He knew Logan was right. But could he betray his master? Of course he could. His master was planning on betraying him as well so it only seemed fair.
"You got a deal partner."
"You can't give him my place!,"BillyJoe ran to Tatera as he continued to yell in his face, "There can be only one Sheriff."
[soundsof gunshot]
"So there is." Tatera said, " I don't take kindly to threats but I'll help you if it means that you will kill the Guildsmaster."
"Tired of being his lapbitch then? To bad I wont be the one to kill you though."
"Same here. Let me fill you in on the details …"
