The ride north into Lamy takes longer than he'd like, but he's not about to push his horse, even if it's not all that hot out. There's a cattle train leaving Albuquerque and heading up for St. Louis, and Doc thinks that he's got enough friends in New Mexico to still call in a favor or two ( Read more... )

As the firing stops and the posse closes in around the cabin ruins, the air gets still, almost silent, save for the click of hammers being cocked and of irons being slapped around the wrists of the Kid. Then there are horses, shifting against the sand, hooves scrambling over rocks and dirt, breath coming soft as the Kid is hauled up onto a horse ( Read more... )

It's dark when they duck out of the bar and back into the New Mexico desert, the lonely stand of adobe ruins. It had been easy enough when they were back at the bar to ignore the reality of life. But now that they were here ( Read more... )

When they charge out of the door from the bar, it's as if they never quite left the scene. The only different thing, really, is the fact that hidden under the hat, Doc's hair is a bit shorter than last time, and he's not so sore from eating shit into the sand (or barfloor, for that matter ( Read more... )

OOC: Was co-written between docscurlock & young_gun_billy muns.It wasn't hard finding the cows, it wasn't hard moving the cows. The hard part for Billy was holding back his laughter as he and the boys rode into town with the cows ( Read more... )

It was too late to do anything more than sit around and work their way through a bottle of tequila and try to formulate a plan when it came to just how they were going to get to Old Mexico without getting themselves killed or caught. It wouldn't be easy, but it would be made easier by having a bit of money in their pockets when they finally made ( Read more... )

Doc still wasn't too thrilled with the idea of going back to New Mexico, but he knew that it was something that had to be done regardless of the fact that he didn't want to. Life at Milliways was suiting him just fine, if you got past the part that included that he missed his wife and young son ( Read more... )

Billy came back, he always knew that he would but he wasn't planning on it being quite so soon. He'd been back to 'his' time once to get something for Will's birthday, but other than that, Doc was quite happy with ignoring the front door.

But now he couldn't.

Not after seeing Billy again. Seeing that wanted poster and the way Billy just laughed ( Read more... )
