Chapter Three…

As Jean held onto the side of Diablio's saddle, and he prayed that he wouldn't fall off.

When Diablio got to the corral, up on the hill Hughes, Vato and Breda were there and they all had their rifles in their hands.

Roy had told Riza to stay inside the cabin, he went out the upstairs window that lead to the roof.

Roy saw the other deputies coming down the hill, he said a silent prayer that where ever Jean was, he was safe.

Hearing Diablio scream, Roy looked at the corral, Roy smiled when he saw Jean standing up against the building with his rifle in his hands, Roy could see that Jean had been shot, but he didn't know how bad.

All at once, Archer hit Roy and they both fell off the roof. Riza heard the commotion and the sound of the men landing on the ground.

Black Hayate nearly knocked her down when she tried to get the door open. "Alright you little shit, I'll stay inside."

There was the sound of a rifle firing and Riza nearly jumped out of her skin.

The front door opened up and Jean stood there. He had a wound on his left arm. "I'm alright, Just a small gun shot in my left arm."

Right behind Jean came Breda and Vato, he said, "Hughes is outside helping Roy hog the Archer."

Vato said, "Let me see how bad that bullet did to you." Jean looked at him as if he were crazy and he said, "I didn't know you were a doctor."

"Lets see if I'm good enough." Vato said as he ripped off Jean's left shirt sleeve.

Riza gasped when see saw the damage the bullet did, hurrying over she assisted Vato cleaning the wound.

Breda went over to look out the door to see if Hughes or Roy might need help.

The door burst open as Archer stood there with a pistol pointed at Roy's head. "Alright, listen to me!" Archer shouted.

"Hughes is laying on the ground, he's has a bullet in his back, so if any of you really want to save him, I'll need money and lots of it and a good horse and that woman there." He pointed to Riza.

Black Hayate started growling and showing his teeth. " If you want this thing, then I suggest that you keep him quite." Archer said.

Just then they heard the sound of a rifle firing and then Archer had a bullet right in the middle of his fore head.

Everyone looked to see who tired the rifle, and in walked Fuery supported by Armstrong. "That bastard needed to die!" Fuery said.

Riza rushed over to help Vato ease Hughes down on the bed, then Vato said, "He needs a real doctor to get this damn bullet out."

Armstrong told them, "Doctor Tom Marcoh and his Nurse Rose are outside waiting for my signal that it is safe got them to come inside."

Alex stepped outside and fired a bullet to signal for Dr. Marcoh and Rose to enter the cabin.

Riza asked the doctor "Is it really sanitary enough gor surgery?"

After Marcoh examined Hughes, he said, "It's the best we have, because if we move him it could do more damage, so I have to try to get this bullet out of his back."

Doctor Marcoh started barking out orders, "This table looks sturdy enough to support this man's weight, so get it cleaned off."

Then the doctor looked at Rose and he said, "Rose, please make sure that this man's body is cleaned off and lets get started."

Doctor Marcoh looked at Armstrong and said, "Alex, you and Vato hold Hughes down so Rose can administer the liquid ether that can make him go to sleep, make sure he doesn't move around a lot."

Then Doctor Marcoh and Rose started the surgery. When Doctor Marcoh finished the surgery he had Rose give Hughes a small dose of Laudium because Hughes would be in extreme pain when he woke up.

Alex had Vato and Breda roll Archer's body in an old tarp so the men could take his body into town.

Just before they had Archer's body ready to take to town, Black Hayate went over and lifted his back leg and peed over Archer's dead body.

Everyone chuckled and Jean said, "It couldn't happen to a better man.
