Ch 6
Jimmy and Chey ride for two days before coming to a small town. They make their way over to the saloon. They walk inside looking around. They walk to the back room and sit down at the table.
"Chey, lets get high." Jimmy says. They sit and smoke the day away.
"Let's go clean the whore house." Chey says.
They walked out in the cover of the darkness. That night the Marshal and his posse rode into town. They walk into the boarding house and ask the man at the counter if he had seen a pair of dark haired riders come in.
"No I'm sorry, I haven't Marshal."
"Let's get rooms for the night and start in the morning."
After completing their work, they walked right to the boarding house. Little did they know they where headed to a trap. They walked up to the counter and asked for one room. The man's hands were shaking as he thought about the Marshal's description of the ordeal that had taken place . Jimmy and Chey still had blood on their faces. The man hands the key to Jimmy. They make their way upstairs to retire for the night. The man runs up to the Marshal's room. He opened the door slowly with his master key. Putting his finger against his lips.
"Marshal, they just showed up. They're in room 19."
The Marshal gathered all his men. "We are going in boys." They kicked the door down to find Jimmy and Chey smoking marijuana on the bed.
"Hands up!" The Marshal screamed out loud.
Three days later, Jimmy and Chey was proven guilty before a judge.
"I hereby declare that both of you be hung by ropes until you die in the town square tomorrow at noon."
Jimmy downed his head. Chey sat beside him head down.
"Damn Jimmy, it sure was nice riding with you." Chey says looking over to Jimmy.
Jimmy closed his eyes. "It sure was." he said.
That night, Jimmy laid there thinking about all the blood he had spilled. The men begging for their life. The screams as they died. He thought about making love to Chey in the rain. A tear ran down his face as he thought about the beautiful creature in the cell beside him hanging by her neck.
The next day they stood before the town with ropes around their necks. Their hands tied behind their backs.
"Jimmy, do you have any last words?"
Jimmy looks over to Chey
"I wish I had a few more miles to ride with you by my side. I'll see you in the land behind the sun, Chey." The hangman slides a mask over his face.
"Chey, got any last words?" the Marshal asked.
She looked at Jimmy breathing heavy knowing his life will be put to a end from the snap of a rope.
"Yep. Jimmy, I had fun killing them whores." she says out loud. "It's been a blast fuckers!" The hangman slides a mask over her face. She never stopped ranting about killing. With the swing of a gate, both Jimmy and Chey fell. The whole crowd heard the snap of their necks. After a few minutes, their feet stopped jerking. They were cut down and laid to rest, side by side.
The end.
