Bentley P.O.V.: The next day that's when we started our next heist ,which is to get Tennessee's cane back from Toothpick, and here is how we did it ,starting when I followed Toothpick in disguise, so he could lead me to where he kept the stolen gold and Tennessee's gun ,without being seen ,even when he turns his back with the gun pointing in the direction he turns ,I still kept hidden until he lead me into his private stash.
Then when he stops ,that's when I see what was in front of him ,which was a giant metal safe with his appearance carved on it ,with a tiny door on the bottom left and a code panel on the right, where I see him approaching to ,as he then begins to sing a little tune as he types in his personal code ,then afterwards that's when I hear him say "ain't nobody's gonna find this entrance! Time to take a little looksee...AT MY GOLD! ha ha ha!" before going inside with glee afterwards.
After he enters the giant safe ,that's when I come out of hiding get back into my old clothing ,and get Murray and Tennessee on the line saying "alright guys ,I marked a waypoint to where I am, while I try to hack into Toothpick's safe ,you guys get here as fast as you can, just don't let the guards catch you alright? "And the responses to what I said ,where "I'm on the way Bentley ,just leave that door in mint condition so I can bust it open!" From Murray ,and a "already makin tracks partner ,I'll be there sooner than a jack rabbit on the run" from Tennessee, as I begin to hack Toothpick's system afterwards.
And when I was finished that's when the two I asked for finally came, saying simultaneously"we're here Bentley!" afterwards when I saw them ,I noticed Tennessee had got some new threads, possibly thanks to Katrina's sense of fashion ,other than the yellow-orange bandana around his neck , the brown gloves and cowboy boots, he also wore an orange button up shirt with a sleeveless brown west and a matching belt with a place to put his gun.
That's when I said "alright you two came just in time, I already disabled the door and Murray ,as I promised the door is yours to bust open" to which I hear him say "finally ,something to smash-up!" As he began picking up the whole safe just enough to get Tennessee inside ,and after he went in Murray let go of the safe as it came down with a loud thud ,now the rest is up to Tennessee.
Tennessee P.O.V.: After I entered ol' Sheriff Toothpick's private room, I started to look around for my gun ,only to find it in a glass case callin' for me from inside ,boy was she a beaute I call her ol' blue ,it looked like a cane from the hook end, but really it's a pistol from the handle end ,and when I saw it ,that's when I said to myself "Yeehaw! There's my gun!" as I ran to the case afterwards, that's when I break the glass case holding my gun and snatch it back ,sayin' "uh huh! That's right ! The kid is back in business !" And after gettin' her back, I then think to myself that it was time for me and ol' blue to get reacquainted.
And seeing a bulls-eye shaped lock in front of me blockin' my way, I decided to try out my gun on that lock by just pointin' my gun at it, aimin' ,then boom the bullet blasted that lock and like that the door opened for me, as if it where sayin' please and thank you ,then right in front of me where miles and miles of railroad tracks ,perfect opportunity to test out my railway sliden' technique ,and as I do I then look around for any guards that are in the ol' place ,and when I see some, I begin to point my gun to em and shoot like there's no tomorrow.
And right when I thought this was gonna be a piece o' cake ,man was I wrong when I saw what was right in front of me, which was my only exit out of this place locked with not just one bulls-eye shaped lock but six instead, feelin' like I walked myself into a dead-end, I decided it was time to use my ol' crackshot technique, to which I aim at multiple targets at the same time then ,when they're all in range I shoot em' all at high-speed and bust em' all ,as if I was gettin' em all at once ,and after that doorway opened, I was makin' my way towards the exit takin' my gun with me ,already imaginin' the sheriff's reaction when he see's the gun case without a gun.
(End P.O.V.)
When Toothpick come's in to check up on his untouched gold ,that's when he notices Tennessee Kid Cooper's gun missing from its case ,thus angering the armadillo sheriff ,as we see from a looming shadow appearing to have grown ten times Toothpick's size ,as he shouted off-screen "RRRRRR COOOOPERRRR!" before fading to black.
Penelope P.O.V.: While Bentley, Murray and Tennessee where getting Tennessee's heirloom back ,Katrina ,Sly and I where doing a heist of our own, while Carmelita stood guard over the safe house ,feeling like she is being left out as if she isn't doing anything useful to help us out, but she didn't want us to feel bad about it though, saying "oh no don't mind me I'll be fine ,I promise you guys go on and do your heist ,I'll just wait here until the others get back" trying to hide how painful it was, being useless although we did feel bad for her ,we decided to do as she says and continue the heist for now.
When I got out into the field with Sly, that's when I appeared in disguise as a bartender without the bandana on my head ,wearing a white button up shirt ,with a black bow tie on the shirt , a white apron tied around the waist and black pants with matching shoes ,saying "alright Sly, you know what the plan is right?" to which he answers me saying "how can't I ,while you and Katrina distract the guards getting jobs at the saloon ,I'll sneak in from the side window, and make my way to the ventilation system, and have your RC go through it into Toothpick's office ,to see if we can't get anymore dirt on him" to which I say "that's the plan."
Sly then continues to explain saying "and while I'm doing so ,you distract the guards by serving them sarsaparilla ,while Katrina distracts them with her looks on stage ,speaking of Katrina where is she?" As he then begins to look around wondering where she is ,until they hear someone in the hideout, shout out to the two saying "like I'm not going out there like this, I totally feel silly" which happened to be Katrina embarrassed by the costume she is wearing ,and refuses to be seen in public dressed in it, to which I then say "come on Katrina ,Murray liked you in it" to which she replies saying "so?"
"Just get out here, I'm sure it's not that bad" I say ,only for Katrina to give in, and open the door to reveal herself in a pink saloon girl sleeveless shirt dress revealing the top of her chest ,with a clashing black and pink short skirt which reach her thighs almost revealing her undergarments ,a black gartle hugging on the upper half of the leg, and on both her arms very tightly, and matching boots that only reach a bit of her lower leg ,on her neck was a pink choker with a kitty tag attached to the front, and reaching to her head in which was a large pink feather on the left side, while her hair was styled like any saloon girl would style it "like I don't know how you guys talked me into wearing this, but I swear like when this heist is over, it is so THE LAST TIME I WILL EVER WEAR IT AGAIN!"
Although not scaring me, I decided to ignore this as we then began the job anyways, as I then started to enter the saloon that was not that far from the safe house, and right when Toothpick's guards saw me ,that's when I introduced myself in a Texan girl accent saying " howdy do ya'll ,I hear you need yourselves a bartender, well I'm the gal who's up to the job, and todays special sweet, sugary, sarsaparilla!" to which I hear the guards all cheer and moo at the same time for, and from there that's when I begin serving the sugar-coated stuff.
Sometimes they get served once, sometimes twice but I didn't mind ,because soon when they finished they then began to doze off into their little dreamland ,however for some of them who didn't want any ,that's when I signal Katrina who made her way backstage that it was her turn ,and from there I then notice the curtains flop open to reveal Katrina on stage as she then says "howdy all you lovers out there ,hope ya'll are relaxed cause we're gonna have us a good time a mighty good time, now whose with me!" to which the gunman who were not marinated in the drink, partakes in Katrina's performance then when they all stand before her on stage ,the moment she starts to sing ,that's when I signal Sly to get to the vent while the guards were distracted.
After easily getting to the vent gate, that's when he carefully opens it and places my RC in it ,so it can to the rest ,and as it drives past lasers and air vents, that's when it finally reaches the vent Toothpick's office is in ,and when it started to position itself to record, that's when I began to listen to what he was saying very carefully ,while Katrina dealt with the guards who are still being entertained by her.
And when Toothpick started to talk ,that's when I caught him on tape, as he talks with his gunmen saying "Alright, listen up! My parder's got an ace up his sleeve and were about to go all in! This trump card is going to crush Cooper and the rest of his claim-jumping gang! He's gonna learn you don't yank a rattlesnakes tail less'n yer lookin' to get bit! Then, we're gonna finish loadin' up that train and haul our sweet little keesters outta this one horse town! Once we get that loot back to present day, I Toothpick am going to be worth billions!" Before shooting a gunman by mistake ,killing him as the dead gunman then drops to the groung much to my shock.
Fed up with what his boss did even though he did apologize for it ,the other gunman Toothpick was talking with began to complain ,saying "dangit, boss! Would ya watch where you're pointin' that thing?" as the camera on my RC begins to focus more on the gunman, as I see him beginning to look at something with a now terrified look on his face ,as we see Toothpick's looming shadow, when he ask in a booming voice "are you talkin' to me?!" only for the gunman to then take back what he said ,and say with a scared face" whoa boss whoa! I'm sorry! I didn't mean nothin'!" only for the thing to run out of batteries before I could even turn it to Toothpick ,saying to myself "blast it darn battery went low."
Soon I was asking myself what was that trump card Toothpick was talking about ,and how can it be involved with us? Whatever it is ,it has to involve taking Tennessee's cane like they almost did with Rioichi ,but something else still troubles me though ,why was that guard suddenly scared of Toothpick when he was supposedly fed up with the way he was shooting people ,and what other secrets is Toothpick hiding ,I wonder I thought, although not for long though when I heard the doors slam right beside the drink counter, and who do I see but the little rodent himself.
"Good evening boys ,how are we all today? Me I'm fine, although I'm still a little mad ,about waiting for my next LOLLY TO SHOW UP! Anyways I've been getting a lot of letters from you's guys ,requesting for time off ,time off? Don't you boys like workin' here? I mean you get the fresh air , exercise what is that not love? Anyways after much consideration ,as sheriff I declare time off ILLEGAL, SO SHUT ABOUT IT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO TICK ME OFF!" Grabbing an empty bottle of sarsaparilla bottle and throwing it at some of the now awake and alert gunman afterwards ,as they say in response "sorry boss!" with worried looks on their faces.
Afterwards that's when he notices Katrina ,and asks "say don't I know you from somewhere?" Approaching the revealing cat, as she then responds saying "uh no I don't think we met stranger ,I just stared workin' here today and-" however that's when he points the gun at her ,and says "don't be playin' games with me my pet ,I can recognize that face anywhere ,maybe a face I saw in present day, a face from a certain face I saw during my time with a certain gang I was once part of ,maybe a face that I know who is the sister of a certain Tony Gargon, am I not right Katrina?!" smacking her behind from under her skirt, thus causing her hair to drop from the way she freaked out.
When she did so ,that's when she angrily scolds at him saying "you are so dead, you hear me you little worm, like I have half a mind to!- Oh I mean uh" trying to get back to her Texan accent, however Toothpick stops her ,and says "save it Katrina I know it's you, and you probably thought you and your little rodent friend could get away with playin' a trick on ol' Toothpick without me noticing huh" as he pulls out my RC from behind his back to my surprise, before adding in " well guess what?" he says trying to get Katrina closer to him ,by bringing his index finger towards him ,signaling Katrina to come closer to him, and when she was close ,that's when he yelled out "I NOTICED!"
Seeing how he now found out what we where planning ,Toothpick then says to her in an intimidating tone "but hey, since you and I where a part of a gang ,YOUR THE FIRST ONE TO EAT LED!" pointing a gun to her ,while two gunman hold her so she doesn't escape ,but right before he could pull the trigger, that's when I decided to do something about this, by stuffing the sheriff's fat head into a jug that I got off one of the counters, causing him to drop my RC as I then say "oh so sorry, I'm afraid we were out of sarsaparilla, but I hope you like cider sheriff ?" Making the gunmen let go of Katrina, and go for me with their guns saying "why you little!"
And right before they could attack, that's when Sly comes in and takes them both out with just one blow from above ,and afterwards that's when he picks up my RC ,and says in relief "well ladies, looks like our work here is done, lets get back to the safe house shall we?" only for us to happily comply, as I then say "thanks Sly that was amazing" , Sly then replies back saying "it was nothing ,now lets get out of here ,before Mr. Loose Cannon over here goes off again" to which we do ,but I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn't the last time we'll be seeing Toothpick again.
(End P.O.V.)
After the gang leaves that's when Toothpick yells at his gunmen, who did nothing but stand there the whole time, saying "DONT JUST STAND THERE IDIOTS ,HELP ME OUT OF THIS JUG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" causing all his gunman to do as he says, not wanting to anger their boss, one then grabs the jug ,while the other grabs the sheriff as they cartoonishly try to pull their boss out of the jug ,only for the gunman to accidently send the jug flying into the air, while the other and Toothpick where sent flying into a wall, then when Toothpick gains consciousness, that's when the jug that the gunmen sent flying, came back down and broke right on top of his head ,leaving him covered in cider.
"Oops sorry boss" was all the gunman could ,say however Toothpick who was then beginning to blow a fuse, then says to the gunman with clenched teeth "oh no it's OK because I that's not as sorry as your going to be now, when I get done with you, for not doing anything, when I was being HUMILIATED!" as his shadow began to grow again , the guard then begs for mercy ,while trying to step back away from his now furious boss, saying in fear"please boss, I promise I can do better ,just give me another chance boss ,please no boss NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Before the screen turned black.
Uh oh if this sheriff is not so forgiving to his men imagine what he'll do to the Cooper gang if they really tick him off good but what is his trump card anyway well that's for you to find out in the next chapter please tell me what you thought of this story so far if you liked this chapter please let me know and I promise next time in the next chapter you'll see what Toothpick has planned for a trump card
