Mari noticed the anger and moved away quickly. Casedy's punch started a domino effect as now a brawl had broken out. The men had responded like he did and tried throwing punches. Chairs went flying as well. The twins hid behind the counter with their mother. The three trying to think of a way to get out. Adelaide looked at her two daughters, "Some men got horses out front, if we can make it across we can take the horse and split. Mari goes first." She hated that, they always made her go first. She crawled out but a man grabbed her by the hair. Angered her mother grabbed the bar owners shot gun and fired up into the air making a whole in the ceiling and making someone above scream.

The one who had Mari by the hair was none other than Casedy. He heard the shotgun fire and scooped the girl up and over his shoudler. Using the thrown chairs as a cover, the cowboy exited the salloon with the girl over his shoulder. His horse was still there. Even if they had tried to take his horse, they would have not been able to. Wild Wind was a psirited little mustang. Only Casedy could ride him.
Once outside, did he put her down to pull his own gun on her. It was not the sort iof thing seen around here. I twas the fabled sixshooter that was seen out west. "It might not be a lot, but I want my three bits back. Give it back and I forget I saw you and your family. So, give it back, or I'll take it back from you."

Mari looked at him wide eyed and gulped. Her mother within was trying to stop the fighting and didn't notice Casedy had taken her daughter. If she had she would have already been out there with the gun. Mari reached down into her bodice and pulled out a small gun. "Ya'll have to kill me first... I give that money back to ya and we dun go back to France." Her mother had been born there and come to the Americas with her mother. Here they were just struggling to stay away from being forced into sexual service. There they had family still. Her grandfather sent letters whenever he could and from what the letters said he was rather rich.

The gun was much smaller than Casedy's six shooter. He did not flinch. Instead, he reached out to pull Mari close. He pressed lip lips to hers. His was a fiery kiss. His hand going ointo her blouce. "If you're going to shoot. Shoot. That's all the money I have. You have more than enough without my three dollars. I can take that three and pay off part of my debt to the Brady's." He fished more for it, not caring if he was feeling this girl up. "Dont' you get it. I dont' get this back and I'll be worse off than you. You know what the Brady's do to people?"

Mari had almost fired the gun in her surprise. Her cheeks flushed red as she felt his hand go down her bodice. She knew he was reaching for his money. She grabbed his arm and looked up at him. "Brady?" She yanked his hand right out of her bodice and stepped back. The blush had made her face look almost as if it were on fire. "How dare you?" She slapped him and adjusted her bodice at the same time checking how much he had taken from her.

His hat fell away from hsi face, causing his hair to fall in front of his eyes. He held upen his hand and very carefully counted out his few bit. He had grabbed too much and carefully placed the rest back into her cleavage. "They owns lots of land round here. My ma owes them a lot of money. I came back from the Fronteer in order to help her not owe them anymore. If we don't pay them back, my ma won't have a house anymore. And me...I'll probably end up being a slave for the Brady family...if I dont' just up and return West."
He put his three dollars into his pocket and leaned to get his hat. "Thank you kindly, miss for the kiss. And I hope you get back to France like you want." He could have taken the rest of the money, but he was honest. He had given the extra back. He had only taken back what she had taken from him, and not a cent more.

Her brows furrowed as he put the rest back into her bodice. She hadn't expected that especially after he had just stolen a kiss. Mari tried to speak but was a bit flustered now. She looked at him and took a deep breathe to relax herself. "A slave to the Brady's? There's a man in that house... S. Brady." She took a handkerchief out from her bodice, it was embroidered with the name S. Brady. "Is he the head of the house?" He indeed was but she didn't know that, his name was Stanley Brady.

Casedy frowned when the girl seemed to already know about that house. he was not a huge fan of the Brady's. he was sure they weren't too big of a fan of his either. Had he not come back from the Fronteer, they would have surely owened his lands and his remaining workers. They might not have much, but his wqas the best land to farm tobacco.
He frowned more at the little handkercheif that she pulled out. "Stanley...I don't know how you got caught up with that lot, but he's not a kind person. You would do good to avoid him. But if you're wanting to marry a ruich man and have no troubles in life, that would be the man to get married to. If you can stand him that it. Me...I'd rather get kciked by a horse than deal with him."

"I dun want to marry him," she scoffed and stuffed the napkin back down her bodice. "I want to kick his teeth in. That's the man that knocked up my mom and abandoned us lot." It was the only thing she had of the father that had run out on them. The man had kept her mother as a concubine but when it became an inconvinience he got rid of her. Stanley didn't want her children and he didn't want to have to marry her so he dumped her off. He had paid someone to take her out west so she could give birth away from him. Unfortunately they had come back. Adelaide intended on getting back at Stanley but when she started receiving letters from her father she thought it best to flee there with her children. "I rather marry the poorest man in the world than the cruelest."

Casedy smiled and rached out to brush her hair away from her face again. it was a very soft touch. "That's a girl. You just keep liek that, and I know yopu'll be in France soon. It's a real pity that he's your pa. But what can you do. Means he did somethgin right. he maanged to have some pretty smart girls. Still, I think that if you're really serious bout that one, you've already met him. The poorest man in the world. And getting even poorer." He took one of his remianing three dollars and placed it lightly in her hands. "A donation to the cause. Now, I have to go. I'm sure my ma's wondering where I've gone off to." He traveled to his mustang and looked back at the girl before mounting. "You take care of yourself Mari." His hand went to his hat and he tipped it to her.

Mari was surprised that he would hand over money from the little bit that he did have. She smiled up at him as he sat on his horse. It was an image she was sure would stay with her even if she never saw Casedy again. She held the bill to her chest and nodded her head smiling pleasantly. "Good luck to you on making those two dollars into more." Her mother finally noticing she was outside put her arm around her. She pulled Mari onto one of the horses. Tricia getting on another. The twin reared back on the horse pulling up her skirts as she did so. A dagger was secure in her garter. They rode off the barkeep coming out hollering, Adelaide had not only stolen his shot gun but the money he had made for the week.

For a moment, Casedy watched the women riding away. He had a smile on his face. He didn't know why, but he did hope that he would get to see Mari again. he had found that she was rather smart and pretty. Her lips had tasted rather nice too. He did hope that she wouldn't get into trouble from her sibling or her mother for getting caught by a poor cowboy.
He turned hsi horse in the opposite direction, so as to ride back to the Winchester farm. He was sure that he wouldn't be allowed back into the Saloon for a long time to come.

Mari held onto the reigns while her mother had her arms around her waist. She looked back at Casedy and smiled. "Looking for a husband already?" Her mother spoke in her ear making her laugh, "Poor ones are usually nicer, they got nothing left to lose but are always looking for something to gain." Mari laughed at that, she was certain with all the money they had her mother wasn't planning on going to France but she said nothing. They were getting further and further away from the central market with no idea where they were heading.
