We made it to a small town that appeared safe and we all relaxed for a change. I decided to look out the window for a moment just through boredom and habit of being on watch, but I'm glad I did as I turned up Lawrence Murphy was approaching and quickly! I ran up the stairs to the room I last saw Billy and barged in. Big mistake, I mean a mistake the size of Old Mexico! If he had his guns I would have been dead within a split second. Doc was sat with his feet resting on the side of a tub and Billy was stood up dripping wet and naked. "Boys we have company!" I didn't know whether to laugh and be shot when he found his guns or to puke and be mocked for the rest of my days! I soon left without doing either thankfully. "Great so now I can't even take a pissing bath without that son of a bitch showing up!" I heard his words before I saw him, fully clothed this time I am glad to say.
It didn't take long to get out of there and away before we even came into Murphy's sites. Next stop was the home of Alex McSween's he was a friend of ours and a lawyer but we didn't mind him. He welcomed us in and we thought we were safe this time. When the sound of a gunshot being let off we went to the window, Murphy again! "We seriously need to get a restraining order against this bloke!" I heard a voice say from behind me. Then I realised something about Billy now standing next to me, he wasn't jumpy or on edge when I was around. Seeing our faces at the window the Murphy Bastards open fired on us. It was narrow but none of us were harmed. One by one we all shouted "Jesus!" Now the firing had stopped I was on the left side of the window and Billy on the right side I mouthed to him "What the hell do we do know?"
"How am I meant to know? Hang on… Hey Peppin!"
"Yeah I'm here!" a very manly voice returned.
"I see you got Charlie Crawford down there with ya!"
"Yeah we got a whole lot of 'em!"
Before I could ask what he doing, Billy stood up took aim and killed the man who I believe he was asking about.
"Hey Peppin?! Charlie Crawford ain't with ya anymore!" Followed by a laugh that made me also laugh.
Peppin was obviously pissed off at this point as found out when he shouted at the top of his lungs "Bastard! FIRE!"
"Shit!" a woman's voice, which I found to be my own, retaliated.
We somehow made our way upstairs and stayed it was getting late and we were tired you didn't have to know us at all to realize that. We all got some sleep. Chavez was the first to awake the next morning but it wasn't long before the rest of us followed. My neck ached slightly I had probably just fallen asleep in and awkward position it would wear off in time.
I could have then swore I heard horses and I mean more than 15. I'm talking at least 25 probably a lot more. Billy and I once again shuffled to the nearest window. It was horses. And the army was mounted on them. Doc, seeing this made and obvious point in saying "Billy I know we're good but this is getting ridiculous." He was stood behind us so I knew Billy had heard him but didn't respond in anyway. He looked at me and I looked straight back at him. This time to make sure we heard him Doc got straight in our faces and asked what the odds on us surviving were. Billy didn't answer so I did "around 75/6?" I looked back to Billy who was still just looking at me. It was unplanned but when I looked back at him we then faced the window and at the same time said "I like those odds." Followed shortly with another set of laughter. "Jesus, you're just as mad as each other!" Scurlock said whilst still stood behind us. I still couldn't stop laughing. Maybe the rumours of me being just as mad and fearless as Billy the Kid were true? No way. Not possible.
I looked back to Billy and from the gleam in his eye I knew he had an idea. He jumped into a box and we threw him out of the window. It would take a miracle for us all to get away from this. Billy burst from the box and began shooting Chavez then arrived with some horses. We had done it! Unfortunately it had cost the lives of Steve, Charlie and Alex. Billy turned round and the last words I heard from him were "Reap it Murphy! You son of a bitch!" then firing one shot at Murphy right between the eyes.
