Paco Valdez

AU

You can't worry about the man behind you when the man before you is taking aim at your head. You fire from the hip and spin around, dropping backwards to the ground. You can only assume that your bullet connected, you don't have time to look.

You take aim with the pistol at who you thought would be the Texan, but turns out to be the deputy. You do not pull the trigger

"I dunno what's goin' out here," The deputy says as you slowly get to your feet, "But I'm gonna have to report all of this."

He ushers you to follow him into the sherrif's office. You shake your head and refuse to go.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Deputy," You say; "There's men out there lookin' to kill me."

"All Vigilantes?" He asks.

You nod your head, wary of his reaction considering his affiliation with Paco Valdez's brother.

The Deputy takes in a deep breath before agreeing. "Alright," he says, "Just help me get this big guy into a cell."

You comply with his request and help him drag the big Texan Vigilante into one of the holding cells. You thank him for letting you go and quickly part company with him.

You make your way to the stables, careful not to bring any unwanted attention to you, and find your horse, Betty, within on of the stalls and chewing on some oats. You mount up and ride her out of town, following the road North, back towards home.
