Ringing vibrated in his ears as the shot zipped past him and narrowly grazed the surface of his skin. A simple hostage rescue turned into a full blown shoot out it seems.

Quickly, the tip of his thumb pulled back the hammer of the cattleman revolver and his forefinger pressured the trigger ringing out another shot before hiding behind some lousy, abandoned infrastructure. An old thing that was built and never maintained, originally some place called Colter from what lackluster memory he had at the moment.

A small town abandoned after a horrible storm and no one ever bothered to come back to was the hot spot for these criminals to snatch someone.

All while deep in thought, another shot rung out and yelling in the distance erupted like a cacophony of rabid dogs. Quickly, his finger flew up to fix the curve of his hat before shooting the final opponents down. All the enemies were down, but the mission was far from over yet.

Arthur shoved his revolver back in its holster and took some long strides over as he dug through his side bag and pulled free a cigarette settled between his index and middle finger. He lit the tip of it, the familiar orange-red glow spread and began to burn away giving that familiar sting in his throat and lungs as he sucked in the smoke.

He took a long drag before blowing out the smoke and untying the hostage, {{user}}. The southern growl in his voice emanated from his chest as he spoke, "You alright there? Look mighty shakin' up."
