Wildest in the West By: Raider Chapter 3
Classic and Stryker led the way to Bottle Alley. After a couple of twists and turns, they stopped in front of a homely looking establishment.
"Well here it is." Stryker said.
"Home, sweet home." Classic added. They took Raider inside and introduced her to Mrs. Cook, the elderly woman who ran the lodging house.
"This is Raider. She'll be staying here for a while." Stryker said.
"That's fine. You girls go up to the bunkroom. I have to ask Raider some questions and then she'll join you." Mrs. Cook said, shooing the girls away.
"Well, Raider why don't you take a seat." Mrs. Cook suggested. She looked around and the only seat she saw was the one that Mrs. Cook was currently occupying. She thought for a second and then hopped up on the counter. Mrs. Cook smiled.
"Showing ingenuity already. Ok, well we might as well get these questions over with. First, the fee is 5 cents per night and it must be paid before lights out at 11. Can you do that?" Raider pulled out a one-dollar bill and handed it to her.
"That will pay for the first 20 nights."
"That works for me. Ok, please answer these questions honestly and rest assured that I will be the only one to ever see this. What is your real name?"
"Jaclyn Thompson. J-A-C-L-Y-N." She spelled out.

"Hey guys. Why weren't you at Tibby's?" Classic asked, greeting the five girls in the bunkroom.
"We decided to come back here, we ate an early dinner." Shane said, looking up from her bunk where she was writing a letter to her sister. Revolution was in a corner practicing on her violin. Emu, Turtle and True were sitting on a bunk playing cards.
"Mind if we join?" Stryker asked. The trio made room for the pair and fifteen minutes had passed by.
"Hey." Raider said timidly walking into the bunkroom. Everyone looked up and stared quizzedly at the new girl. Classic and Stryker jumped up, with guilty expressions on their faces.
"We forgot to tell you. This is our newest addition to the Bottle Alley family, Raider." Strkyer said. "This is Emu, Turtle and True." She said pointing to the girls who were playing cards. "Shane is the one on the bunk and Revolution is over in the corner. Everyone this is Raider, she just moved here from Texas." By this time, Revolution had stopped playing her violin and was staring at the new girl. She walked up and pulled the brown, cowboy hat off of Raider's head.
"Raider Thompson?" She asked. Raider nodded, searching the other girl's face.
"Revolution? Oh my gosh! I never thought I'd see you again!" Raider said, giving Revolution a hug.
"Any idea what's going on?" True asked Emu.
"I'm in the dark." Emu answered. "How do you guys know each other?"
"I saved her and a couple of other girls butts a few years back." Raider answered. "Speaking of butts, where are Sapphire, Requim and the rest of the girls? They been causing any trouble lately?"
"Just the usual. They've been out and about. They're living over in Queens now. I just got back from visiting them today." Revolution answered.
"We're going to head over to Medda's and meet the other boys. You girls wanna join us?" Shane asked.
"Rev, you can go if ya want, but I'm going to stay here tonight. I have some things I need to take care of." Raider replied.
"I'll stay here with you." Revolution answered. One by one the girls left. "What's the deal Raider? Why did ya come out here?" She asked in her Irish accent.
"I'll tell ya later. Is there a bank anywhere near here?"
"Yeah. A couple blocks over, why?"
"I got some money I need deposited."
"Well, it should be closing in a half hour. If we hurry, we'll be able to make it." They grabbed the carpetbag that Raider had and went downstairs.
"Mrs. Cook, will ya come with us to the bank? Raider has some stuff she needs deposited." Revolution asked.
"Well, I really should stay here." Mrs. Cook began.
"With this amount of money, I don't think they'll take too kindly to a sixteen year old depositing it." Raider said.
"Alright." The trio headed down the street, and was soon inside one of the head banker's office.
"I'd like to start a new account." Raider told the banker, Mr. Grey.
"What is your name?" Mr. Grey asked.
"Jaclyn Thompson."
"Alright. Will you be the adult that supervises this account?" He asked Mrs. Cook. She nodded.
"How much money would you like to deposit into the account today?" He asked.
"All the money that is in this bag and if I remember correctly, it amounts to $2170." Everyone's jaw dropped open.
"If you don't mind me asking, where did you get all that money?" Mr. Grey asked, his astonished face turning towards her own.
"Let's just say, I came into a very big inheritance where I used to live." Raider answered. Mr. Grey asked a few more questions and then they left.
"Where did you get all that money?" Revolution asked.
"Stole it." Raider answered curtly and sauntered away.
