"Outlaw's the name, bounty hunting's my game. But it wasn't always. Several months ago I was just your average college student. Until General Parvo came into my life. Now, I've become a bounty hunter, working for the Road Rovers whenever they need me."
A sleek looking black motorcycle drives down a lonely highway. Behind the wheel is Outlaw. He is a Cano-Sapien of no particular breed. He looks like Hunter but with reddish fur. He wears a white shirt, blue jeans, cowboy boots a black leather jacket and a gun belt for his laser pistol. Harley, his motorcycle, is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle converted into a Cycleborg.
"Incoming meassage from Mission Control." says Harley
"Put it through."
Colleen's face appears on the screen.
"Top o the mornin to ya lass." says Outlaw with an Irish accent "What can I do for ye?"
"First, lose the bloody accent. Second, we have a job for you."
"Great. Let's hear it."
"Two bankrobbers hit the bank of Stonebluff. There's a reward for their capture."
"On my way. Over and out."
The town of Stonebluff. A rather small town in the middle of nowhere. Outlaw parks Harley in front of the Sherriff's office. Passersby look at him with a mixture of awe and fear. At the sherriff's desk is Will Ryker. Toward's the back is a cell containing a man who is asleep at the moment with his back towards the front. Sherriff Ryker is surprised when Outlaw walks in.
"Uh, Sherriff Will Ryker."
"At ease Number One." says Outlaw with a smirk
"You know your not the first to say that."
Outlaw chuckles
"Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm here about the robbery to your bank. I'm a bounty hunter."
"I was told to expect one. How many criminals have you caught?"
"Actually, this is my first bounty."
"Uh-huh. Well, let me give you the information."
"By all means."
"A week ago two men came in and robbed our only bank. A volunteer guard was shot and is recovering in the hospital."
"Who are these men?"
"Mike McCoy and Daniel Harris. This is the third bank they've robbed. We think they're hiding out in the hills."
"Why haven't your deputy's caught them?"
"It's just me and two deputy's. As you can see it's Hicksville U.S.A. here."
"Not to worry. I'll catch them."
"Am I still drunk or is that a dogman I see?"
They both turn to see that the prisoner is awake. He is of Native American descent and his clothing is unkept.
"Ah. Outlaw, I'd like you to meet Thomas Greystone."
"What's he in for?"
"Only being drunk. I should let him out now."
Ryker grabs some keys and opens the cell door.
"Thanks Sherriff." says Thomas
"Save it. Lay off the booze would you?"
"When's the last time you changed clothes?" says Outlaw
"Im a drifter." says Thomas "I don't have that luxury. I used to be an FBI agent until they fired me.
"A Native American FBI agent?"
Thomas beams with pride
"The best their was. I can track anything anywhere no matter the terrain."
"Really? Can you help me track down those two crooks?"
"Sure, why not. I knew where their tracks led even as I passed by the scene last night."
"What?" says Ryker "Then why didn't you say anything?"
"I was drunk at the time remember?" says Thomas "But if you really do need my help I will."
"I'd appreciate it. By the way, what tribe?"
"Apache."
They go outside towards Harley.
"Nice bike!"
"Thank you." says Harley
"And it talks too!"
"Harley, Tom Greystone." says Outlaw
"Nice to meet you Mr. Greystone."
"Uh, same here."
"Hop on," says Outlaw "let's get us some bankrobbers."
With Tom guiding, they ride towards the hills.
"Slow down." says Thomas "I know where they are. Up in that cave."
Outlaw turns off the engine and they get behind a rock. A gun shot rings out.
"You'll never take us!" shouts someone
Another gun shot rings out and it hits Outlaw in the shoulder. He grunts and stumbles back.
"Outlaw! Are you all right?"
The wound suddenly heals itself. Tom is astonished.
"By my ancestors! How'd you do that?"
"I'll explain later. Right now we need to get these guys."
Outlaw takes aim towards the cave and fires. A short yell is heard and then silence.
"Got him."
"You got him from this distance?"
"I have good eyes. I'll--"
"---Explain later, I know."
They head for the cave and find Daniel Harris unconscious.
"One down one to go. Stay behind me."
"No problem."
They sneak through the cave. Outlaw stops and then swings his fist towards the wall. Mike McCoy comes out doubled over holding his stomach.
"Your under arrest."
Later, Outlaw and Thomas are walking out of the sherriff's office.
"Quite the bounty don't you think?" says Outlaw "Here's your half."
"What? Oh no I can't take this."
"Take it. Besides, I could use a partner. But first, we need to get you better clothes."
Thomas and Outlaw steps out of a clothing store wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, cowboy boots and a silver leather jacket.
"Much better." says Outlaw "Let's ride!"
"Yeah, but a silver leather jacket?" says Thomas
"It's different. Come on."
As they drive out of town Sherriff Ryker looks out after them.
"Those two are going to be the oddest team-up around."
The End
