Reject the Duel and take her in

Texas snorted at Copperbutt. “And why would ah accept that challenge? Ah already caught ya!” she declared. Copperbutt growled and took a step forwards when *BANG* Texas’s revolver barked again and dirt kicked up against her own hooves. She froze, and then slowly lifted her hands.

“Coward!” Copperbutt snarled, before turning her head and hocking a loogie of spit at Texas’s boots.

“Yer like a rabbit in a snare challengin’ me to a foot race. Ah already won, Copperbutt, and yer goin’ to the marshals. Now turn around and move it!” Texas demanded, waving with her gun barrel. Copperbutt relented, the mare turning away and starting to walk. With her arms raised the hefty pegasus was walked down the main street, marched away from the bank and towards the Sheriff’s Office.

On arrival she was guided into a cell, Texas knowing well enough to get the dangerous criminals to open the doors and walk on in themselves. When it clanged shut and locked, she was sealed inside. “Maybe next time y’all think twice about moseying on in and tryin’ to rob the Gold Springs bank. Gold Springs is protected by me, Sheriff Texas, and no criminals’ll be tolerated here,” Texas declared.

“Ah’ll get out of her, Sheriff Texas. And when ah do ah’ll be using ya as butt floss!” Copperbutt growled, shoving against the cage with both hands.

“Yeah, yeah, tell that to Warden Ramshackle when you make it to County Jail,” Texas replied waving it off. The copper pegasus rattled the cages for a moment before huffing and sitting back on a bench, glaring at Texas as she was trapped in that cell for now

Texas went back to her paperwork, taking a seat once more at her desk, taking off her gun belt and getting back to where she left off. She’d send a telegram to the Marshals later and they’d come and pick Copperbutt up. Knowing them they’d probably send a posse in the morning. For now, Texas could relax in the knowledge she’d stopped a bank robbery, saved a bystander’s life, and put another plus sized criminal gal behind bars. Another good job done for the Sheriff of Gold Springs.
