I got out of the store and saw Sheriff Joy on an horse next to mine. We stared at each other for a momment.

"Howdy there, Arthur."

Sheriff Joy said. I ignored it and packed my horse satchel with the canned foods I bought. I got on the horse and turned to Sheriff Joy.

"What do you want?"

I asked him and began heading to Wirwood with, he followed me, his horse was really fast so he caught up to my horse really fast.

"I'm coming with you, I got a thing to settle with the leader as well."

He said, I sighted and tried to speed up a little. In a little time we were out of the town and we were heading to the other town, it was getting darker with each second we moved. I thought it was for the best to make a small camp for the night.

"Stop, were staying here for the night."

I yelled to Sheriff Joy so he would stop his horse. I stopped mine in a second but Sheriff Joy had some problems with his horse, but he eventually got it to stop and stay still.

"Why are we staying here? Can't we go to an inn or an tavern?"

Sheriff Joy asked me, I was trying set my tent but it wasn't getting nowhere.

"I ain't paying for those, you can go if you want but I ain't going... And besides the closest town is two hours away!"

I yelled to Sheriff Joy. I was finally able to get the tent up so I began making the fire. Sheriff Joy began digging through his backpack and took out a tent set and tried to put it together.

"You still were prepared for this?!"

I yelled to Sheriff Joy, he turned to me and threw a rock at me.

"Shut it! I wasn't ready to stay in a place like this though!"

Sheriff Joy yelled to me, the rock hit my head and I got up to fight.

"You bastard!"

I yelled and began walking towards Sheriff Joy.

"Bring it on!"

Sheriff Joy said and walked towards me. We both were almost close enough to punch each other but then a shotgun was put between us. Both of us froze.

"Hey boys! Calm down would ya?!"

A man yelled. We both stopped and looked at the man, they all were bounty hunters and there were many of them. Sheriff Joy and I made eye contact and stood there and waited for them to say anything. The man got off of his horse while still pointig his gun at us.
