Frank's POV



I knew that her trip to Liberty would be trouble. We never shoulda let her go alone. The indication was when we got a telegram addressed to Ma sayin' she was sick and wouldn't be comin' home for a week then one addressed to Billie from Alison. Jesse read it to us " Billie missing. Come quick . Pinkerton in town be careful. Ali." Then and there Jesse grabbed his gun belts and his duster. I wouldn't dream of not goin' and Jim said he was goin' with or without our permission. So now here we are the all five of us in the new home of the Younger daughters still in Liberty MO. Jesse was pacin' by the window when he seen the dust stir up the road. Not knowin' who it was we all hide in back room of the house. We waited until the knockin' stopped and we heard the horses leavin'. We went back to the kitchen.

" If I were a Pinkerton where would I put a James?" Bob said.

" Bob if you were a Pinkerton you would have been dead a long time ago." Cole said gettin' aggravated with the suspense.

"The cabin." Jim said.

"What about the cabin?" I asked.

" That's it Jimmy." Jesse said rufflin' Jim's hair. Jesse got up; grabbed his coat."Well let's go boys."

"Where Jesse?" Cole asked.

" To the cabin that's got to be where they're hidin' Billie." Jim said smilin' to Jesse who nodded. So we left toward to the cabin.

Billie's POV

It had been almost a week that I'd been stuck in that cabin. They had been treatin' me good. I had Mr. Rains' personal doctor see to me and unbeknown to them I had my voice back. Mr. Roon and Mr. Parker came ever day to bring me food. Since I'd been better Parker came more often they aren't as stupid as I thought. That day though they made the mistake of lettin' Roon do it. He placed the plate on the table then undid the shackles they had on my hands that was his first mistake. As he turned around to grab the plate I grab his gun.

" You know I probably could do this without the gun it just makes things easier." I said. He turned around comin' face to face with the colt. He put his hands up I shook my head then grabbed the shackles and put them on him loopin' them through back of the chair.

" You Missy are goin' to regret this!"

" No," I said hearin' the gun fire from down the road "No I'm not."I grabbed my duster off the coat hook and waited for my knights in tarnished armour to arrive. When I figured they were close enough to make this dramatic and I went out to see Mr. Parker and Mr. Rains standin' in front of the door.

" Excuse me sirs this has been real fun but I'm leavin' now." I said.

" No, your going to stay right here." Mr. Rains said.

" Yeah because if you leave then how will we get you brothers back in Liberty?" Mr. Parker said. I shook my head.

" Parker just get out of my way." I said. " I leavin' and that's that if I have kill both of you to do it I will."

"Yes you and what gang of outlaws this time." Mr. Rains said. I just laughed.

" That one," I said smilin' to my brothers and the Youngers who were roundin' the corner.

"God damn it Parker, how did they get here we've got bounty hunters and law men all over this county." Rains said.

" I don't really know sir but we can handle them." Parker said.

Frank's POV


When we came around the corner there was Billie standin' outside arguin' with Rains and Parker. Parker had it in his mind that they could handle us. Jesse and Cole cocked their guns.

"Are you sure 'bout that?" Cole asked.

" Yes I'm almost certain of it." Parker said. Well the two had there attention on us Billie pulled a colt out and shot Parker.

"That was for my Ma." She said, " Now for you Mr. Rains."

" Still sure you can handle us Rains." I asked. As I did Billie and Jesse cocked the hammers on their guns.

"I wouldn't do that Mr and Miss James. For one Miss Billie you'll end up whit a bigger price on your head the all of them together and you'll both have th army on you tail by tomorrow."

"To you it's Billie Sophia only my friends call me Billie. Now get in to that cabin right now!" she said shovin' the muzzle of her colt in to the back of his head. Jesse and Cole jumped of their horses. And followed her in to the cabin. From what I could see they shackled him up in there. They came out.

"That bought us sometime but not much." I said.

" It's ok I just have to stop at Doc's and grab my stuff and we can go."Billie said. Then she shook her head and started to laugh.

"What's so funny about this Missy." Cole asked.

"Easterners," She replied simply. Walked behind the cabin and came back with her horse. Which made us all laugh.

"Leave it to them to do something as stupid as that ."Jesse said.

" He's the perfect get away horse." She said tightenin' the cinch. The three mounted.

"Bob," Cole said with a nod. Bob smiled.

"Let's ride."He yelled.
