A/N: There some explicit content in the next chapter not that it's written just implied. Can't say I didn't warn you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim's P O V

And so it starts again. Billie came home and told us that we had to go back and fight the railroad again. Just when things were startin' to get normal again. Cole isn't in the best of moods Jesse's in a worse mood than Cole so mainly everyone is avoidin' talkin' about what's goin' to happen. Most of them have gone there separate ways in to the woods to think. Jesse was practisin' shootin' down in the far field not that he needed it. I was alone in the house or so I thought. I looked through my window and looked out to the barn the door was open sure enough everyone's horses were out except mine, Jesse's and Billie then it made more sense. She felt it was her fault because she had gone and registered with the government as a deputy but then Rains got his greedy hands on her. It just didn't make sense how that was her fault. I sat back down on my bed tryin' to put in to place everything that was goin' on, I hated the fact that she was comin' with us I didn't want anything to happen to her. Something in my subconscious told me to look up there she stood in the door way. Her eyes were red from cryin'.

"Can I come in?" She asked in almost a whisper. I nodded and got to meet her half way. She flung her arms around me and buried her head in my neck I returned her embrace.

"Billie this ain't your fault." I told her she just shook her head. I kissed her hair softly. "Come on it ain't that bad we'll go scare them in to not doin' anythin' to our friends and family and it will be over. We'll come back here and live just the way we are know."

"Jim there's something I need to do incase anything happens while we're out there." She said I expected her to leave instead she started to kiss me.

"Billie are you sure." She nodded. I return her kisses but with everyone the thought that this might be the last time get to spend together started to set in deeper.


I laid there for a long while afterwards with her in my arms. It was funny how neither of us had to say anythin' but we both knew what the other was feelin'. It wasn't until we couldn't hear Jesse firein' his gun no more that she got up.

" I love you Jimmy Younger more than anythin' you remember that." She kissed my cheek got dressed and went down stairs. I decided it would be in my best interests to get dressed. I took a look outside at what we were callin' home that would all be given up in the next two days for while. Not known if we were all goin' to came home to our farm we would say good bye to it tomorrow to fight a war we though was over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frank's P O V

We left bright and early that mornin'. I hadn't seen Billie dressed like that well ever she was head to toe in black with her colts startin' at her chest and endin' with the ones on her hips she looked like Jesse. Cole had just about the outfit under his duster as the other two. I could tell that this was goin' to be worse than the first time it wasn't about keepin' them out of Missouri, it was about keepin' Missouri a safe place to live. We had stocked up on supplies and ammunition the night before. Billie had turned in her tin star and we were headed to Missouri to finish this once and for all. It took us three days to reach the border. We rode until we hit the first camp of Pinkerton's.

"Jesse are we goin' to hit them tonight." Bob asked. He look to Cole and then to me. We both nodded.

"Yup tonight. What do you think guys."

"I don't see why not. It would stop them from comin' after us later on." Jim said.

"Good thinkin' little brother."Cole answered. Everyone waited for Billie to say somethin'

" What you think Billie?" I asked. At first she said nothin' but a smile crept across her face.

" I say praise the lord and pass the ammunition."

"Oh lord," I sigh that damn smile and my siblings were never a good thing.

We devised a plan and went on our mission I couldn't tell if it was more like the war or like when we were at war with the rail road but it sure was interestin'. We took them by complete surprise and they were totally wiped out in twenty minutes of shootin'.

"Don't be fooled boys we may have won this battle but we're still fightin' the war." I said once we were sure they were all gone.

" I know Frank but it feels so good it's a shame Tom and the boys weren't here." Bob said.

" This is a James-Younger problem and that's who will fix it." Cole said sharply. " Now come on we have to get out of here before we get some uninvited company." We rode of to find a spot to sleep.
