Suggest a Temporary Alliance

As much as she hated to admit it, Texas was outnumbered against the pigs, though there was opportunity in working with Georgia. The massive mare had after all once served as an acting deputy, and as dreadful as she had been at her job, the fact remained that the horse knew the rules of engagement, and was more than able to handle herself.

“What would yah say to a partnership? Just temporary like. We both have business in the bank, and if’n we work together, it evens the teams. The moment them hostages are free, we can go back to trying to arrest one another, but right now it makes more sense we work side by side than get in one another’s way.”

“Work with you?” Georgia scoffed at her old boss, though her initial distain for the idea soon turned into scheming. Yes, she hated working for Texas, but having a weasel shield that the pigs would much rather shoot at was not an unwelcome advantage. “I hate to say it sheriff, but yer right. If we work against one another we endanger those contacts Vivian wants me tah save. Alright, we can team up, but you have tah go first. I can shoot over you a lot easier than you can shoot around me.”

Texas knew that this was a setup, Georgia was exploiting the weasel for her own gains, but the pros of having competent backup outweighed the cons of that backup being Georgia, right? Texas wasn’t so sure, but she certainly didn’t want to end up fighting the twins and her old deputy whilst hostages were in the crossfire.
