Jack Dekker cocked his rifle and fired quickly at the other cowboy⁷⁵, but he missed the shot. The cowboy sighed in relief and brought his Colt Navy to aim for Jack´s head⁷⁹. Instead, the bullet only scratched the outlaw´s shoulder.

But the shot made him flinch. Now, the cowboy felt he had the upper hand, and calmly started aiming for the second shot.

On the other side, Alacran shot at the Cantinero for the second time⁸⁰, and missed badly. Now he was facing with a decision, as Juarez was taking careful aim at him. So far, the barman had missed his three shots, but this could change any time. Alacran could duck for cover, or aim again and hope for the best.

Choctaw only reloads 3 bullets, but he is like crazy. He wants to kill someone, he wants to have fun. So he aims the cowboy who Jack didn't hit to the chest and shots.

The scratch on his shoulder didn't break Jack's concetration. This time he takes his time aiming carefuly to the cowboy's head ignoring the bullets flying around him.

Jose Alacran quickly ducked for cover behind the table just as the barman fired his fourth shot⁸². The table provided some crucial protection for the outlaw...

The bullet did not go through the table wood!!

Behind the barrels, Choctaw had finished reloading the third cartridge⁸⁰. He did not want to wait any longer, and he got up and pointed at the remaining cowboy and fired!⁹³. The bullet hit the cowboy in the back, and caused him to loose concentration. He turned around and started aiming at Choctaw instead.

Choctaw is lying on the floor in pain.

YOU GONNA PAID SUMBITCH

He clenches his teeth, aims to the man who shot him and fire.

Choctaw aimed at the cowboy who was about to shoot at him, and fired away. But he missed badly. The cowboy returned fire, and his shot was just wide, hitting the wall behind Choctaw, between his head and left shoulder¹¹¹.

Behind the cowboy, Jack Dekker was aiming carefully for his head. BANG! Again, Jack Dekker was deadly accurate. The bullet hit the cowboy in the head, and blood was spilling everywhere as he went down unconscious and trembling nervously. His life was in serious danger. 

In the middle of the Cantina, the Cantinero was pointing at Alacran. But suddenly he realized all three cowboys were down, and he had an outlaw on his right, behind the barrels. And another outlaw with a rifle on top of the stairs. Things were not looking very good for him. Slowly, he raised his arms...

-Don´t shoot, amigos, eh?, he muttered.

- Who is going to tell me what fucking bloody mess happened here? And more important, who is going to pay me the money I spent on the whore who has run out of the sallon? - asks Jack Dekker while he walks downstairs aiming with his rifle to The Alacran.

- Fuck off, ya bastard mex!! - Choctaw gets up and shouts to Alacran - what the hell are you doing? 

-Hey Jack this sumbitch is the stupid who shot first. He must repay you.

-Rosanna is coming with me!! You can´t stop me, pendejo!!, Alacran shouted with a fierce look in his eyes as he got up from behind the table. He approached the Cantinero, ignoring everyone around him, and before anyone could react, he fired!!

The shot hit the bottles just behind the barman, who ducked again for cover. Alacran then started running towards the stairs without looking back…

Alacran´s object of desire showed up on top of the stairs, looking down in horror.

-Jose!! Wh-what have you done?

Rosanna was truly beautiful, and her brown eyes were looking at Alacran with a mix of fear, uncertainty, hope and … love?

-He is bloody crazy, I tell ya, the Cantinero said as he removed broken glass from his shoulder. He looked at Choctaw and Jack, afraid and angry at the same time. -Leave now, go, there is nothin´ more to you here. He gestured towards the three cowboys and the corpse of James O´Neill. -Go, and tell Alacran he can take the whore with him. But leave, please.

- For a girl like that I would have come down to hell also... - said Jack talking more to himself than to anybody in special, then walking towards Choctaw asks him - Are you ok Choctaw? help me to check the bodies, they are going to refund me the money of my whore.

After checking the bodies shouts to the stairs - Romeo! The Cantinero have said you can take her with you so it will be better for us to leave this place as soon as posible.

Lee gets up and cleans his clothes. He reloads and goes to the cowboys to ransack them.

- I will survive, Jack, only my honor was hurt. Hey, pick up the guns, bullets and money. The horses are too risky, but we must check. That gringo - Lee points at O'Neill - told me we can get a job in the south. There is a town in the crossroads a few miles from here, looking for gunslingers.

He turns to Alacran.

- What you have with your Rosana is not my bussines

Once Alacran is in front of Rosanna, he stops for breath. He´s very nervous, the time he has been waiting has come. He is full of hope , enthusiasm , fear ... 

Alacran looks at Rosanna´s eyes, while remenber the last words he listened ¿Romeo?:

- Rosana , it's time to make our dream come true . Come with me, leave St. Acoma and start a new life together. I´ll make you feel like a real princess. Ven conmigo prinsesa, what do you say?

Alacran waits for Rosanna´s answer. He knows that there´s no time and they had to leave St. Acoma quickly.

- C´mon Rosanna, tell me something.
 

Rosanna looked at Jose "Alacran", then down the stairs. The scene of death and destruction in the Cantina made her think. This had been her home for many years, but there was nothing more for her in San Acoma. Things were not going to get any better if she stayed. And Jose´s eyes were full of love and passion, she knew he would do anything to protect her.

-Si! Yes! I will go with you!, she said and smiled nervously.

Jose Alacran walks down the stairs with Rosanna. The rest of the girls upstairs are too afraid to come out.

Jack Dekker and Choctaw check the dead for money and items. The gunslinger O´Neill had a Colt Dragoon revolver, with 38 bullets, .44 caliber. He also had a nicely finished quick draw holster, a high crown Stetson hat, fancy boots and $18.50 cash on him. And a small American Arms Derringer hidden in the boot, with 3 bullets of caliber .41.

The dead cowboy had only $1.75, but a nice Colt Bisley, leather vest and a scarf. He was carrying 20 bullets, also .44 caliber.

The other two cowboys are not dead, one is unconscious and bleeding, but the one that was hit in the abdomen is conscious and observing the situation while he holds his stomach in pain.

Choctaw picks the guns and bullets from the corpses and put it on a table. He splits the money half with Jack

Choctaw goes next to the cowboys who stays alive and conscious.

- I have nothing with you, or your friend. Ya shot us, we shot ya. But it's done. I don't wanna kill ya. Jack!!, what do ya wanna do? We must kill them? 

- Too much blood for today. And probably he is already dead .

Turning to Alacran and Rosana, Jack says - You are good with your gun, we are going to put some miles with Sta. Acoma and try to find some job for our revolvers. You can come if you want.
