Tennessee
I had the image of Lorelei in that chorus girl's outfit the entire time she was gone. It was when Sly ran in, I was snapped out of my thoughts. I was a little worried when I didn't see Lorelei follow him in. "Where's Lorelei?" I asked. "She needed to distract Toothpick a little while longer." He said. I quickly stood up when I heard this. "You mean to tell meh' that you left my wife with that no good armadillo?!" I asked him as I leaned into his face.
"It's okay! He was easily fooled by the plan, he's not going to find out who she is!" He put his hands up in defense. "Uh, Sly, Tennessee, you may want to look at this." Bentley was looking out the window with his binoculars. Bentley gave Sly the binoculars and he nearly dropped them when he saw what Bentley was lookin' at. "He found out who she is." I snatched the binoculars from Sly and looked at the saloon.
Lorelei's hair was wet and it looked like half of the red hair dye had melted off, lettin' her blond color peek through. Her arms were tied to her sides and her ankles were also tied together. She had a gag stuffed into her mouth and she was still dressed in her chorus girl outfit. A longhorn had her thrown over his shoulder and was carryin' her to the sheriff's building, while Toothpick had a gun to her head.
I turned to Sly and snorted in his face with my eyes narrowed. Bentley was on his little laptop thingy and was typing away. Then an image appeared on the screen. Toothpick was sitting at his desk while the longhorns tied Lorelei down to a chair inside a small jail cell. After they had Lorelei secured, they sat down in front of Toothpick.
"Alright, listen up," Toothpick announced, "My pardner's got an ace up his sleeve and we're about to go all in! This trump card's gonna crush Cooper and the rest of his claim-jumpin' gang. We're gonna learn'em you don't want to yank a rattlesnake's tail, less'n yer lookin' to get bit! Har har! Then, we're gonna finish loadin' up that train and haul our keetsers outta this one horse town! Once we get that loot back into the present day, I'm gonna be worth billions!" He yelled, Lorelei rolled her eyes, but then Toothpick accidently misfired his gun and it killed the longhorn that happened to be the unfortunate target. "Eh...Oops." Toothpick said.
"Dang it, boss," The other longhorn said, "Would ya watch where you're pointin' that thing?" Toothpick's temper enlarged his size and it caused Lorelei to go wide eyed. "Are you talkin' to me?!" Toothpick's voice got deeper and angrier. "Whoa, boss, whoa! I'm sorry! I didn't mean nuthin'!" The longhorn put his hands in front of himself in defense.
Lorelei
Toothpick shrank down back to normal size and rested his feet on the table. "Good. Now, take Mrs. Cooper to the stagecoach that we've prepared for the other trophy we have acquired." He said as he twirled his gun around on his finger. The longhorn untied me from the chair and carried me over his shoulder. He walked me from the sheriff's building to an old stagecoach, with a jackrabbit at the reins. And there, another longhorn was carrying a beautiful vixen with brownish orange fur, a mole under her left eye, and waist-length raven hair tied in a braid at shoulder level. She sported a bra top, dark blue miniskirt, combat boots, and her jacket's sleeves were rolled up above her elbows.
She was also tied up and puttin' up a real fight with the longhorn. Then Toothpick appeared right beside the longhorn with the vixen. "Phew, I'm only too happy to get rid of this one. Her tongue's sharp enough to cut leather." He said. "Stinking cowards! Afraid to untie me and fight like men!? I swear when I get out of this...!" She yelled.
"No sense frittin' about that little lady," Toothpick retorted with a pretend tear rolling down his face, "You two just enjoy the ride!" He laughed as the vixen and I were both tossed into the stagecoach and it started driving. I screamed through my gag as I heard gun shots coming towards us. After a few minutes of bumps and tips from the stagecoach, we almost went over a cliff. "Mmmmph!" I screamed as the stagecoach tipped. I was scared, but not or me, for Tennessee and me's unborn child. "Don't worry, Lorelei and Miss Carmelita! Everything's under control!" I heard Tennessee's voice.
Then a pair of arms grabbed me around my waist and lifted me and the vixen out of the stagecoach as it tipped over the cliff. I opened my eyes and Tennessee was smilin' at me. He removed my gag and ropes and I threw my arms around him, laughin' and cryin' tears of happiness. "Who are you?" The vixen growled as she got out of her ropes. I let go of Tennessee and he took off his hat, "Pleased to meet 'cha, ma'am! Why, I'm Tennessee Kid-" He was about to say Cooper, when she interrupted him.
"Don't tell me! You're a Cooper, right? I knew it!" She snarled. She said it like being a Cooper was a bad thing. I put my hands on my hips in reaction to her rudeness. "Yes ma'am. Bentley told me-" Tennessee put his arm around me, and Carmelita interrupted him. "And stop calling me ma'am! The name's Inspector Fox! Wait, Bentley's here?" She asked.
Tennessee and I looked behind us, and saw Sly and the gang was right up there on the cliff. "Well, looks like they're right behind us." Carmelita followed our gaze and saw Sly smilin' and wavin' down to us. "Carmelita! I'm glad you're okay!" Sly called down to us. "Why that conniving little-!" Before Carmelita could start cursin' Sly, Toothpick rolled out from behind the van with two large longhorns. "Much obliged for the helpin' hand Inspector Fox!" Sly and the gang, knowing they were out numbered and out gunned, they out their hands up in surrender. "Let meh just run there banditos over to the prison, and I'll be back for you all lickety-split! Of course if you're still feelin' neighborly, you could just turn yourselves in!" He chuckled as he led the Cooper gang to the prison.
"As much as I like the thought of Sly in a cell, nobody kidnaps Inspector Carmelita Fox and gets away with it!" She let each word roll of her Spanish tongue. "I reckon that includes tyin' her a runaway stage?" Tennessee joked. "Watch it, I'm in no mood for smart remarks!" She pointed a finger in his face. "I'll have you know, young lady, this handsome gentleman happens to be my husband! And he just saved your life! I reckon you should have a better attitude than that!" I yelled at her. "Already fine! Now Tennessee, are you ready for another mission?" She asked in a much better tone. "Yes, ma'am-I mean, I am surely am, Inspector Fox." He corrected himself.
"What about meh?" I asked. This entire time I've finally realized how helpless I felt. "Lorelei, I think it's best if you go back to the tower. This is gonna get too dangerous for yuh." Tennessee put his hand on my shoulder and I growled a little bit. "Fine." I grudged back to the tower. When I finally got into the room, I noticed my cowgirl clothes were cleaned and folded on the table. My Pa's rifle was on the table and the barrel was reloaded with bullets. "I'm not stayin' here!" I said out loud, to myself. I snatched my clothes and put them on, throwing out the ruined chorus girl's outfit.
I picked up my Pa's rifle and the extra bullets and stormed down the stairs to saddle up on Ol' Betsy. "Come on, Betsy. I've got a descendant to save." I said.
Tennessee
I just shot the last lock on the Cooper gang's cage as Carmelita came runnin' in. "Carmelita! Are you alright?" Sly asked. "I am, no thanks to you!" Carmelita growled, "I should leave you in that cage after what you pulled, Sly Cooper!" She crossed her arms and turned her back to him. "I know. Look, I can explain everything." He started walking towards us. But then Carmelita curled up to me. "Why, if it wasn't for this charming and handsome gentleman, I wouldn't even be here!" She said. My cheeks were blushin' redder than a cactus rose in full bloom. "Aww shucks." I covered my face with my hat to cover my blush.
Then I heard the familiar click of a loaded rifle. I pushed Carmelita to ground as a bunch of bullets shot over our heads. I opened my eyes to see Lorelei standing on the cliff with her Pa's rifle aimed at me and Carmelita. "Tennessee Kid Cooper, you yella bellied, horse-faced, two-bit, good-for-nothin', lousy lowlife!" She cursed at me from the cliff she was standin' on. She was dressed back into her cowgirl's outfit. "I turn my back on you fer one minute, and I catch you flirtin' with this floozy!" She had tears in her eyes as she aimed her rifle at Carmelita.
"Who are you callin' a floozy? You liquor swillin', gun tootin', chorus girl!" Carmelita shot back. "I didn't know they let hogs talk! I've seen schoolgirls that were better at spittin' than you!" Lorelei cursed. Then the girls started gettin' into a swear off, with words and phrases that would give any mama a heart attack to here a lady usein'. Then some longhorns came in and ran towards us. "Um, ladies, maybe we should continue this conversation back at the hideout?" I suggested in a hurry. They both grunted and we ran for our lives.
The insults that I used are from a website called indiegamer. I knew I had to have a scene like this in here! Everyone knows pretty girls don't like other pretty girls.
