   Summary

   Bounties like these were ones that Boothill least looked forward to. He was a gunslinger, a ranger, like, fuck—These modifications done to his body were for the purpose of surviving battles against hundreds. And these skills that he'd honed since before he even turned eighteen, they were for taking down enemies with the most efficiency possible.

   Not for—what was it? Some supposed "search and rescue" mission that was realistically an expensive babysitting job.
   _

   Or, you run away and go missing. Boothill takes on the task of bringing you home. Things go horribly awry.
