Bandits and Whiskey

"Besides, look at how well she shoots." Timothy said as he put his arm around Hannah protectively, "I also know that she can be of aide to us. In more than one way. First, she'll get information from her dad. Two, she's mighty distracting."

Colin glared at Timothy, "Then I can bring Willow into this gang."

*&*

Willow simply nodded and began cleaning the bar.

"What?" Timothy said.

"She's a tough girl." Colin said, "We'll be spending most our time this year traveling. She won't complain." He looked at Hannah then turned away, "She'll cook for us. Clean our clothes. Help with medical stuff."

Timothy scowled, "Vote."

Bernardo cursed in Spanish, "NO! One woman is enough!"

Arnold shrugged, "Aye. Now you both have your lady."

Jimmy and George just nodded.

"Now you two." Colin snapped at Timothy and Hannah.

"Yes." Hannah replied, "Try getting her to agree though."

"No." Timothy snapped.

Colin smirked, "Fuck you, Tim."

"She'll never agree to it!" Timothy laughed.

"Oh yes she will." Colin smirked. "I'll go speak to her now. I'll meet you guys at the hide out by dark with our newest edition."

-An hour later-

Colin made his way back to town and saw Willow leaving the Salon, she was done for the day. He tied up his horse and followed her on foot.

"Willow!" He called. She kept walking. "I need to speak to you!" Willow ignored him and turned down an alley. He jogged up behind her and grabbed her, "I fucking said I need to speak to you."

"What?!" Willow snapped.

Timothy and the rest of the gang were setting up camp in the cave. Hannah yawned as she sat down on the sandy floors of the cave.

"This is stupid. Willow will never agree." Hannah said softly as Timothy handed her a cup of water.

"I know." He laughed slightly, "What'd you tell your dad?"

"That I was going to go on a trip to find a good husband." She smirked, "He wants me out of his hair so he agreed."

*&*

"Join my gang." He said simply.

Timothy laughed, "Well that worked out perfectly. Why did you want to join the gang anyway?"

*&*

"You must be out your damned mind." Willow said.

He pushed her against the wall, a bit roughly but not too rough, "No I'm not. You're going to join."

"And why is that?" Willow snapped, "And because you always get what you want is not a good enough answer."

Hannah smiled, "We've all got our secrets, darling. Let me keep some of mine."

Timothy shook his head, "No. I want to know. And you have to proove that you're trustworthy."

"Fine. Because I hate being the prissy daughter of a sheriff. I want people to see the real me. Plus, you are handsome."

878

"I'll pay you a load more than what you get now." He said softly.

Timothy smiled slightly then said, "Well being in this gang takes a lot of heart."

*&*

"Not good enough." Willow said.

"How's this then? Because you don't want everyone to know you're the little forgotten bastard daughter of the sheriff?" Colin snapped.

Willow eyes widened, "Don't you dare say a word about that to anyone!" She struggled to free herself from his hands.

She smiled, "I've got plenty. Now, I want to sleep. So let me use your leg for my pillow."

*&*

Colin smiled, "If you join us."

"Thought you didn't want to be prissy? You need a pillow?" He teased.

*&*

"Why are you doing this?" Willow snapped.

"Because I can." Colin smirked. "Now come on, you're coming with me tonight."

"You better be paying a lot." Willow sighed, "And I'm not sleeping with you."

"Fine. Bernardo will gave to suffice then." Hanna said with dramatic sigh. Timothy laughed and grabbed her hand as she went to stand.

"Joking joking! Use me as much as you'd like." He winked at her.

*&*

Colin smiled, "We'll see. And I'm paying a LOT."

Then pair got settled and comfortable. Hannah smiled. She liked being part of the gang already.

*&*

Willow rolled her eyes.

"I'm not paying you for an attitude." Colin reminded her.

"Fuck you." She said. Almost immediately regretting her choice of words.

Timothy waited until she fell asleep before he moved away and went to the men, "Okay, now, where's the map?"

Bernardo smirked at him, "What? You done with lil' miss over there?" He laughed.

Timothy laughed, "To think she wanted to use your leg as a pillow."

"Fuck you!" Bernie smiled. He handed Timothy a beer. He already had a soft spot for Hannah. She reminded him of his deceased baby sister.

*I&*

"Sounds good." He grinned.

They say Colin enter with Willow.

"No fucking way." Timothy laughed.

"You actually got her to agree to it!" Brett laughed, he thought Willow was hot.

"Another lady!" Bernardo mumbled.

"Shhh Bernardo, you know you love me." Willow laughed.

Willow glanced around and spotted Hannah, "Colin! What the fuck is she doing here?"

"Ask him!" Colin exclaimed as he pointed at Timothy. Tim rolled his eyes.

"She is a member of the gang now." He said simply.

"You never were too smart, Timothy." Willow smirked.

"Want to sleep outside? You can see the stars." Colin asked.

"Sure." Willow said, she wanted to get away from Hannah.

Timothy smiled. He knew Hannah would prove the wrong eventually, "Tomorrow, we're robbng this bank."

Everyone nodded.

*&*

As soon as they were outside, Colin placed a hand on her waist.

"Now let's get some sleep." Timothy smiled.

"You think Colin really likes that Willow girl?" George asked.

Timothy nodded, "Yeah, none of you are to touch her! Understand?"

*&*

"Colin, come on..." Willow said.

"I'm paying you a lot..come on...." Colin mocked her.

She tried to remove his arm, "I'm not going to deal with this!"

Everyone but George nodded. Timothy noticed this and and made a note to tell Colin. He laid down by Hannah and yawned. He didn't trust any of the men except Colin and Benardo with her.

*&*

Colin rolled his eyes.

Hannah smiled slightly at his sweetness and quickly fell asleep.

*&*

"You are a very difficult woman." Colin said as he laid down, pulling her with him gently.

"YOU make me difficult!" Willow snapped.

"Eh. You love me. Just admit it." He replied with a smile.

"Not in a million years." Willow said.

"Well, love we'll see about that. For now you'll have to settle for me as company." Colin pulled her towards him and whispered in her ear, "Sleep."

To his surprise Willow didn't reply, instead she leaned into him and fell asleep. He had tired her out earlier.

Three days later...

The gang raced forward on their horses. Timothy noticed Hannah holding her side as they rode. They had just left a saloon. Hannah had gotten into a barfight. With a man. And she'd won. Colin and Willow were still at the temporary camp, having decided not to venture into another town.

Willow took one took at Hannah as she dismounted her horse. "Want me to stitch up your cheek?" She asked.

"No, it's okay." Hannah said and Willow nodded.

"Willow, I'm starving. Cook something." Colin grumbled.

"She's not a slave, Colin." George mumbled.

Colin looked at George, "Shut the fuck up."

Hannah walked toward the fire and sat down. Timothy walked to her, his boots thudding against the ground.

"Did he break your ribs, love?" Timothy asked softly. Hannah nodded slightly.

"I'll bind them." Bernardo said.
