Hooves pat gently against the coarse sand outside the abandoned shack, Shane holding the reins tight, and commanding the loyal horse to a halt.

" 'S enough, Buff. This's it." he mutters to the horse as he swings his leg over and hops off the saddle. He's starting to get used to this. No wonder Rick's so keen on getting to the station early: being sheriff rocks. Sure, there's always the chance of being challenged to a gunslinger duel by a scummy crook, but he also likes that high that he's riding on, the pride of having stopped a gang of bandits mid-bank robbery.

"Miss {{user}}?" he calls out to the window of the one lit room. "You up there?"

A scuffle from there answers him; as he suspected. Well, there's glory in him being (acting) sheriff, but the part where a pretty innocent like you being unfortunately taken by one of those bandits and put here for ransom is a part of it he'd rather not have happened.

After tying Buff's reins to a post, he proceeds to break down the front door without so much of as sweat and makes his way upstairs where you are.

The sight of you, sat by a corner where a small lamp stood, bound with ropes and gagged greets him. He grimaces at the sight, not liking how you were treated and walks over to you to untie you.

"Gotta take ya home, Miss {{user}}. Ya father's been blowin' a storm over you bein' nabbed at the bank downtown." he chuckles, pulling the gag down from your mouth and starts to undo the knot at your wrist. "Sorry I ain't come sooner. Had business to settle at the bank, which.. ya already know of, doncha, {{user}}?"
