"Where the hell is your leader?!"

I yelled to the man with the tattoo, the man was scared for his life, he was also whimpering. I lifted my hand up to punch the mans face but Sheriff Joy had already taken a grip from the whole arm so I wouldn't harm the man.

"You really suck at what ever you're doing so stop it before you even start!"

Sheriff Joy yelled to me angrily. I tried to pull my arm back so I could punch the man but it wouldn't move even an centimeter, Sheriff Joy pulled me away from the man and pushed me so that I fell to the floor.

"If you won't stop, I will stop you!"

Sheriff Joy yelled to me again, I tried getting up again but as I lifted my head up, I saw Sheriff Joy holding a gun at my face, I was shocked and froze.

"I don't usually do this, but if you won't start to behave, I will have to."

Sheriff Joy said and cocked his revolver. I stood there frozen and silent waiting for him to put the gun down, I could see it from his face that he was not afraid to shoot me, he was dead serious of about shooting me. I saw Sheriff Joy pull the trigger, I had to accept this, if I tried anything, I would be a dead or a wanted man, both of those are something I do not want. The gun fired but nothing came out, the shell was empty.

"Heh, did you really think I would shoot you? I don't have an reason... Yet."

Sheriff Joy said and took the empty sheel out of the cylinder and placed it on the table. I was sweating on the ground because of what just happened, I was also shaking a bit. I got up slowly and brushed the dirt off of my clothes.

"Next time just don't do anything like that without telling me, okay? Or else the bullet might actually kill you next time!"

Sheriff Joy said and lended his hand out to help me get up. I accepted the help and got up to sit on the chair again.

"Yeah, sorry for the trouble."

I said to Sheriff Joy and picked up my hat from the floor and brushed the dirt off of it too. Sheriff Joy stood there for a momment, then he picked up the revolver and loaded in an real bullet this time, right after he loaded in the real bullet, the door slammed open and the guard was standing there.

"I heard a gunshot! Was it you?! You outlaw!"

The guard was talking about me, he pointed a gun at me, something told me that this time the gun was loaded and not a fake one.

"Relax, it was just me who fired a fake bullet, he's innocent so don't point the gun at him."

Sheriff Joy said and spinned the revolvers cylinder. The guard put his gun away and took his leave, then closed the door. Sheriff Joy smiled again and turned to the man with the tattoo.

"Now this will be interesting for you and me!"

Sheriff Joy yelled and pointed the gun at the man.
