Chapter Text
It was a usually hot day in the Mohave, in the city of Devil's Ridge. A good portion of the city's residents are in a bar, either trying to buy drinks for pretty women, getting drunk themselves, or making dirty deals with one another. Nevertheless, it was always a busy area and people were almost always talking. That is, until a woman walked in, then everything went silent. She had a piercing gaze that swept the crowd. A few people started whispering, "God almighty, that's Los Ojos!" You see, Los Ojos Ardientes was, before she settled down, a famed bounty hunter that was also known as one of the best shots in the West.
"Hey, Catarina! ¿Quieres una bebida?" the bartender asked her. Catarina walked over to her and replied.
"Solo un disparo. Voy tras un objetivo especial hoy."
"Oh, going after Jake, right?" Catarina nodded. "He's sitting over there in the corner. Good luck."
"I don't need luck." She said as she took the shot. She walked over to the table, where he was sitting with two other men. "Rattlesnake Jake?" The other men ran out of the bar.
"All depends. Who's looking for him?" He said. She aimed her gun at his forehead.
"Los Ojos Ardientes. See, I work for people who have wanted you dead for months." He did the same as she did.
"See, I know how to work a gun." He replied with an evil smile, which quickly faded as he realized she was a much better shot than him. Then, he ran out, with her following him. They both jumped onto horses that were not their own and rode off. "You'll never catch me alive!"
"Yeah, that's why I'm catching you dead!" They fired at each other for a while, until their guns ran out of bullets. Catarina looked around. They were no longer in the town. Hell, they couldn't even see a town! "Oh mierda. Where the hell are we?"
"Well, we seem to be lost."
"Oh no. No, we can't get lost. And you're still alive! Oh, what am I gonna tell my boss? Well great, we're both out of bullets, we're in no sight of a town, and we stole two horses! I suppose we get ready to stay in the desert at least overnight."
"Great. Fantastic, I'm stuck in the desert with the woman who tried to kill me."
