Chapter 9 - Trouble At The Ball

It was the night of The Ball and Liam was getting ready he but on a fancy dress suit with a red tie and puts on black dress shoes. He looks at his mirror and sees his reflection.

"Man, I thought I would never be caught in this," said Liam as he looked at himself in the mirror. He goes and heads out and heads to the Darkwater's Ball.

He arrives at The Ball which is held at Darkwater's Town Hall which has a large ball room. He waits for Abigail to arrive. He then see her come along as she was wearing a blue fancy dress with ribbons.

"I see yo made it before me," said Abigail. 

"Yeah, I figure I should come early," said Liam. "Anyway, you look great."

"Thanks, you made to dress sharp," said Abigail. "Well, shall we head in?"

"Sure, let's go," said Liam. They then head into the Town Hall to the ball room.

They enter the ball room and head over they look around and see a bunch of people dancing.

"So, do you know how to dance?" asked Abigail.

"I guess you figured it out. No I do not," said Liam.

"I'll show you then," said Abigail. She reached her left hand out to him. He takes it and she bring out to the dance floor.

"Alright, now what?" asked Liam.

"Just follow my lead," said Abigail. She tried to teach Liam how to dance and after a couple of time Liam stepping on her feet he start to get the basics down.

"Hey, I think I'm starting to get it," said Liam. 

"Yeah, good thing for my feet," said Abigail.

"My bad," said Liam. They felt like taking a brake but before they do they heard a gun shots. Everyone starts to panic before they see Vincent and a bunch of Outlaws walking in.

"Alright! No one make a move if you do your dead!" yelled Vincent. "Now lay down on the floor." Everyone listen to what he said and lay down on the floor. They go around and take any valuables and money the people had. They even took a few people for hostages so the WPA and The Darkwater Sheriff Department does not go after them which they even took Abigail with them everyone gets up after they left.

"Damn it," said Liam.

After a while The Darkwater WPA and Sheriff Department arrive. Liam was with Robert.

"Those damn bastards," said Robert.

"So, what is the plan?" asked Liam.

"Well, we can't go after them right now," said Robert. "They have hostage that could be dangerous for us and them."

"Damn, we could do more," said Liam.

"Yeah, me too, partner but our hands are tied," said Robert. "It probably, better if we wait for them to send an offer for them to let them go."

"Alright, I guess," said Liam. He leaves and heads home to his ranch.

He enters his room and starts to take off his dress suit and he sits on his bed and lays down on his bed looking at the ceiling wonder what to do. But before he was about to pass out his left heel hits the box under his bed. He gets up and takes out the box from under his bed. He takes a key from a necklace he was wearing and unlocks the box and unlocks the box and opens it. He reaches in it with his right hand and pulls out a revolver pistol which was made with a dark gray metal with a rustic wooden handle with the the initials J.W.H on it. This gun was from his Big Brother.

"I guess we can't sit down anymore, Johnny," said Liam. He then changed his clothes back to his rancher attire and puts on a gun belt on with his brother revolver pistol and his pistol they are both loaded with non lethal rounds that can not kill people. He puts on a black leather cowboy hat with a cow skull on it. He then head outside and gets on his horse and heads for the Outlaw camp.
