Take the Back Door

Realising that she was no use to the hostages if she got captured herself, Texas decided that sneaking in through the back and getting the drop on the pigs may be the better approach her. Keeping her head down, the weasel prowled around the back of the bank, finding the staff entrance, along with a little more than she bargained for.

Georgia was at the back entrance, the massive mare filling out most of the narrow alley that the bank backed onto. Texas lined up a shot quickly, but quickly realised the horse had not noticed her. In fact, whilst Tex’s first instincts had been that Georgia may be helping the pig pair, it appeared as though she was readying to storm the building herself.

“Drop the weapon.” Texas called to her ex-deputy, prompting Georgia to snap her attention to her old boss. “An’ put yer hands up. Ah’m bringing yah in.”

“Not now, Texas.” Georgia growled. “If you haven’t noticed, I am actually on your side for once. The twins have some important contacts of Vivian’s in there, and she’s sent me to make sure they make it out ok. As much as I would love to settle our feud, I can’t be making too much noise and startling Jesse and Jane.” The claim wasn’t entirely unbelievable; after Georgia had been stripped of her rank, following some rather nasty business in The Crushed Weasel, she had found work as the mayor’s ‘bodyguard’. The term ‘enforcer’ was a far better fit for the work she was tasked with however, the horse being given any of the dirty jobs Vivian didn’t like doing herself. Admittedly, saving people from a bank heist was exactly the sort of thing Georgia may be expected to do as Vivian’s head goon, so there may be some truth to her words.
