Returned to the Sherrif's Office

It seems that Lucy was a skunk of her word. The madame had returned Texas to her place of work, and even been courteous enough to leave a small glass of water on the desk to help the sheriff recover. Beneath that glass was a coaster, Lucy wasn't a desk ruining savage after all, but beneath that coaster was a small, hand written note, with some of the finest handwriting Texas had seen, though she expected nothing less from the upper class skunkette.

Opening the letter, Texas scanned the words left for her. As intricately as they were written, they were straight to the point, revealing everything that Lucy had heard about these kidnappings. It was a surprising amount, but it all boiled down to two names that Texas dreaded to read: Scratch, and Sniff.

A relatively new addition to the Gold Springs wanted boards, the hyena duo were a pair of ex-demolition experts that had managed to get their hands on some pretty advanced construction gear. Large, brutishly strong, and unforgivingly durable, Scratch and Sniff outclassed Texas in every physical faculty there was. Fortunately for the sheriff, such facts were true of almost everyone Texas fought, and whilst the demolition duo may be some of the most physically challenging in Gold Springs, they were by far the most mentally challenged, having likely taken a few too many falling buildings to the head in their time.

If the hyenas were behind this, Texas knew where to go. The duo had a lair not far from town: an old mansion that had been abandoned half way through construction when the mines dried up and the wealthy tycoon decided there was little profit to be had out here, and abandoned the site. The construction gear used to build the house had been left behind, and whilst several Gold Springs rogues had attempted to use it before, only Scratch and Sniff had proven mechanically skilled enough to repair and operate the machinery. The pair never strayed far from their lair, nor their gear, and that is where Texas would find them.
