Part 7


They rode slowly and needed almost 5 minutes to get about 150 feet from the gates.

“Stop!” A guard shouted from the watchtower right of the door. “That’s far enough. Why are you here?”

“We were out hunting and noticed the light in the sky, so we decided to come check it out. What is going on here?” James used the hunting excuse once again and played dumb.

The guards all laughed. “Hell.” The guard who spoke before spoke again. “Trust me, you’re lucky you’re on the outside.”

“About that… Is there any chance you let us in?” James continued.

“You two want to go inside,” he paused, “willingly? Are you out of your goddamn minds?!” Where there was once laughter, all guards were now in shock with James’ words.

“I think I’ll say yes to both.” James and Tom both smiled slyly. “So, can you get us in?”

“I can, but-… Are you sure?” It was clear that the guard wanted to talk them out of it.

“Absolutely.” James and Tom both nodded.

“Very well. You’ll need a serial number like everyone else then. Escort them in and brand them!” The guard shouted and 4 guards - 2 from the left and 2 from the right watchtower - immediately began climbing down the ladder toward the gunslingers.

Well I started feeling curious about why guards are such strict in allowing them ! Lol , is it the alien museum ?? Good story around the prompt :)

Hmmm. I could tell you what it is, but.... I'd spoil all the fun you could have by reading the story in full :P
I know, I know, it's long, but I believe it's worth the read :3
Glad you enjoyed this part though :D

Oh dear, another fine mess they’ve got themselves into.
