Chapter Text
Wynonna drove slowly ignoring the monkeys once the two of them reached the town. It didn’t take long before Nicole became agitated and whirled around swiping at one who got to close and barked harshly the monkey quickly backing off.
“Well this is gonna take a while.” Wynonna muttered before adding, “I really hope you didn't lose the scent.” she commented. They stood in the middle of town for a while, Wynonna watching a nearby elephant and commenting, before Nicole took off in a dart once more.
“Hey! Wait up!” Wynonna muttered quickly getting back in her jeep before adding under her breath,
“At least give me some warning.”
They drove for a bit leaving the main square in town Wynonna keeping a close eye upon the shaggy wolf as it raced in pursuit of its find.
After a twenty minute drive or so they found themselves at a bar with the lightened words, “Pussy Willows” and Wynonna groaned.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” She grabbed the duffle bag before getting out of the truck slamming the door behind her. She held up the bag to Nicole before the dog shook its head as if to say not yet.
“Alright let's go blow this popsicle stand.” They pushed passed the doors Wynonna in lead as Nicole was behind her protectively. Wynonna glanced at the scene that lay before her. Some broken chairs, music blaring and a few people still at the bar. Huh. She figured they would've left by now. She took a seat as a bartender walked up to her.
“No dogs allowed.” He said gruffly and Wynonna winced. She had forgotten this part.
“Listen, this dogs- she’s my-“ she searched her mind before continuing with a grin. “My service dog. Yeah. I’ve got a real service dog.” She continues before the man could argue.
“Also, by any chance, have you found a board game. Or a baboon? Or a baboon with a board game recently?” The man gave a shrug.
“Depends. What’s the board game worth?”
Wynonna sighed. Of course they weren’t gonna fork this over easily. This was Pussy Willows after all.
“You get to live if you hand it over.” She was done playing games. It had been one hell of a day and she was tired. She had missed Waverly. Opened a board game that caused havoc. Been dangled by a vine. Encountered gorilla and found out her sisters girlfriend was a literal werewolf. Yeah. She didn’t have time to talk things out.
“Then you won’t know where it is?” The man sneered and Wynonna pulled out her gun pointing it at him carelessly as he immediately lurched back.
“Listen bud. I am really not in the mood for this. I had encountered a gorilla today.” She said before continuing when she noticed his expression.
“That’s right. A goddamn gorilla. So unless you’re gonna spill I’d rather just get this over with.” She finished lamenting like.
“I’m not sure you want to do that.” The man merely responded before continuing,
“Look around. You really should read the place before you start pointing guns.” It was at this point Wynonna noticed Nicole was growling and a few people around them were pointing guns at the two. This really was one helluva shit show wasn’t it?
“I’m just here for a dumb board game! Just give it to me!” She argued angrily and the guy laughed.
“Mmm. It’s gonna cost you.” He said and Wynonna wanted so bad to just shoot him and be done with it.
“Fine. What is it gonna cost?” She asked and the man smirked smugly.
“Mm. How about you take your clothes off and give us a show.” Before Wynonna could even register what was happening Nicole kept snarling, lunged and grabbed the man by his throat. The older Earp jumped the bar table for cover as a ring of bullets went off.
“Goddammit Nicole.” She muttered. But before she could say anything else Nicole kept back up and Wynonna's eyes widened.
“No-” but the command fell upon deaf ears as one by one Nicole took out the rest of the patrons and before long they were laid around knocked out and slightly injured.
“Okay. We need some ground rules.” Wynonna said standing up.
“Cause we really need to be on the same page. Not that I don’t like that- it was pretty awesome but you’re bleeding and that’s not good.” Nicole ignored her instead putting her nose to the ground and started sniffing around.
“You don’t just attack people. That’s my move.” She said scolding the wolf who wasn’t listening.
Before the Earp could continue Nicole let out a happy bark and Wynonna looked around
“You find it?” She asked approaching the area of where Nicole was to see the wolf turn back around board game in her jaws.
“Atta girl. Knew you could do it.” She said grabbing the game before tossing the duffle bag of clothes at the werewolf.
“There. Now go change.” She instructed.
“I’ll meet you in the car.”
