GANGS, SHERIFFS, AND DIGIDESTINED
ML: Here's chapter two! Last time, Takuya, Koji, Tommy and Koichi were successful in pulling off a train robbery, and were celebrating in the saloon, when Zoe walks in. I told Takuya that she's engaged to JP, but the two talk anyway. What I'm scared about is who's watching them.
Takuya: Don't know, but here's the disclaimer: ML does not own "Digimon", or any authors that might appear. He owns himself. ROLL IT!
Chapter 2 – Caught in the act! Takuya's gang imprisoned!
(Months later)
Zoe and Takuya had struck up a friendship, and the gang had slowed down. However, that was all about to change in the next few days.
In the hotel, Takuya and his gang were all settled in Takuya's room. It was there that he made the plan for their next job. It was a robbery in which the only bank in town was to be cleaned out. Takuya and Tommy had worked reconnaissance for most of the day, so it was going to be just another job.
After all, the gang had pulled numerous jobs before this one. How bad could it be?
"Ok
team. Listen up." Takuya began. "The bank is sure to have two
tellers, meaning that we'll walk in, and announce our presence. There's also one guy manning the safe. Koji, you're going to 'persuade' him to give
you the combination to the safe. Tommy
will get the bags, and help you clean it out when it's done. While you're doing that, Koichi and me will
be busy with the tellers. Once that's
done, we leave immediately. If anything
goes wrong, we run. Any questions?"
Koji asked, "Yeah. Will there be a second time?"
Takuya
replied, "There won't BE a second time if we blow this job. The staff changes almost every day. Any more questions?"
The room was silent. Takuya then said, "Ok, we pull off the job two days from now." The other three walked back to their rooms, and Takuya thought, 'Let's hope that we can handle this one!'
Takuya
joined the rest of his gang in the saloon, where Zoe was performing that
night. As Takuya looked at the girl on
stage, he began to think second thoughts about his chosen vocation. But he shook that off. No distractions. Zoe got off the stage, and saw Takuya. She walked up to him, and said, "Takuya! Hi!"
Takuya smiled, and said, "Hey Zoe."
Zoe asked, "So, what are you doing this time of night?"
Takuya answered, "The usual, drinking, playing poker…"
Zoe asked another question. "Are you sure you aren't planning a job?"
Takuya answered, "No! Of course not! What do you think we are? Robbers?"
Zoe replied, "Well, I have heard about your feats in the past. You do know you'll wind up in jail!"
Takuya smiled, and said, "I can't be caught, babe." Just then, JP walked into the room, and saw Takuya. He said, "Well, if it isn't Takuya Kanbara, the most famous robber of all time."
Takuya put his game face on, and replied, "And if it isn't JP Shibayama, the best darn law enforcer around these here parts."
JP said, "What the hell are you doing around these parts talking with my fiancée?"
Zoe replied, "We're just friends."
JP said, "Well, don't let me interrupt you, honey." He came up to me, and said, "Give me an ale. Make sure it's cold and fresh."
I said, "Yes sir. On the way." I served him the ale, and walked away. I knew that a brawl might happen.
Takuya said, "Well, nice to see you, Zoe, and good luck with your wedding."
Zoe replied, "Thanks, Takuya!" The two walked to separate corners. Takuya made the decision. They were going for it tomorrow morning. He went up to the hotel, and slept the night away. Not much to think about, except Zoe and JP.
The next morning, Takuya and his gang woke up. Takuya laid down the final check.
"Guns?" Takuya asked. Koichi, Tommy and Koji showed them.
"Bags?" Tommy and Koichi flashed them in Takuya's face. Done.
"Dynamite?" Koji showed the sticks to Takuya. Done. Time to go.
The gang walked up to the bank, and put the bandanas on over their faces. Koji kicked the door down, and Takuya screamed, "This is a robbery! Put the money in the bags right now!" However, as soon as he said those words, JP walked in, and said, "You boys think I'm gonna let you bust this bank? I don't think so." His deputies walked in, and placed Koji, Koichi and Tommy under arrest. JP looked around. No sign of Takuya anywhere. He then saw the open window.
He must've escaped, and he was right.
Elsewhere, Takuya was riding Aguni, his horse, outside town. If he wanted to stay free, he had to escape. However, DC, one of the sheriff's deputies, caught him.
DC said, "Trying to get away, are you? I don't think so." He tried to arrest Takuya, but he was knocked out. Takuya looked up, and there she was. Holding a six-shooter was none other than Zoe Orimoto!
Takuya said, "Zoe? What are you doing helping me out?"
Zoe replied, "Simple. Being a friend! I saw what was going on, and I had to help you out!" Seeing the other deputies and JP, Zoe said, "We'd better get going." She hopped on her own horse, and Takuya hopped on his, and the two rode off. JP said, "If a good guy like Takuya ever were to show his face in another town, he'd be dead." He helped out the knocked out deputy, and went back in town.
Elsewhere, the other three were stewing away in a jail cell. They didn't know their sentence yet, but it wasn't going to be good. They all thought the same thing:
"Takuya, where are you?"

So, what y'all think? R&R!
