"Jake ya gotta get outta here." Lou said.
"Get on your horse hurry. He ain't seen ya yet." Jimmy said as Jake quickly got on his horse. Him and the other man rode away. "We ain't seen nothin Lou. Okay." Jimmy got on his horse and him and Lou hid in the bushes as Teaspoon and his posse rode by.

"Lou how do you know Jake?" Jimmy asked a few hours of silence later.
"Well. His dad worked for my dad. Before he became a gun runner. His dad, Gus and my dad wanted us to get married when we were older. So for a while we were all the happy little family till Jake's mom and my mom died the same day. Daddy and Gus became gun runners and Me and Jake and Jeramiah and Teresa were sent to the orphanage. A couple years later me and Jake ran away. Jake became an outlaw and I came here. End of story." Lou came out of her thoughtful daze and looked Jimmy in the eyes.
Jimmy just looked down and said "Oh".
