The bell rang and it was time for mass to begin.
......
As TGC and Eyes came too, the surgeon explained the situation. "I'm terribly sorry, but nothing could be done... we had to remove what was left of the hand" and Eyes looked in terror at the stump where his left hand used to be.

"Well that's just jolly damn dandy!" he screamed.
A doctor popped up. "But luckily - WE CAN REBUILD!"
Eyes most certainly did not like the hump of cement they crafted together. Keep in mind, this is the 1800's, tech was in a 'meh' state. "Look, just gimme a scalpel," said Eyes.
"uh..."
Eyes grabbed a scalpel and stuck it in the stump where his hand once was. "Perfect!" he said.
And then he murdered every damn person in the building, except for TGC because of plot armor.
The reign of Eyes The Scalpel-Handing Buckarooni was a-dawnin' fast.

At least until the scalpel broke... because he forgot how thin the metal of the blade was.
......
Frank was going for a walk, when... he heard screams coming from the bank! "sounds like trouble' he thought as he bolted to go help out those in trouble

"When did Grubmucker get a bank, anyway?" mused Frank as he tightened his gunbelt and retied his neckerchief. Then he noticed the sign above the door, its gold lettering still drying in the hot desert sun: OGDEN'S BANK. Why, it was them infernal newcomers, a-stickin' in their noses where they don't belong!
TGC slapped his thigh and chortled. "Hoo-eee, Frank! Looky there! A bank! Now we got somethin' to rob!"
"I'm the sheriff, you idiot. Now let's go find out what all the screamin' is about."

The bank was dark and dusty. Two outlaws, a man and a woman, were holding the teller at gunpoint.
"Give us everything you got or we'll fill yous with lead!" The woman declared.
"The sheriff will stop you!"
"Ain't no sheriff ever stopped us before." The man bragged.
"My god! You're the Driscoll Twins!" The teller gasped. "The fiercest bandits this side of the Mississippi."
"Darn straight we are. And this town is ours now..."

Frank quickly placed one hand over TGC's mouth in case his companion blurted out the obvious: The Driscoll twins were standing on a trap door. "Come on, Teegee!" hissed Frank, dragging the struggling cowpoke back from the bank door. "We gotta go around the other way."
"Golldurnit! You haven't even deppitized me," complained TGC. "And don't call me Teegee."
"Deputize you? I hardly know you. Here." Frank wrestled open a basement window at the side of the bank building. "Slide on through, check the basement, and when you find that trap door lever, pull it."
"Me?!"

"Yes, you! I'll distract them until you get into position."
TGC nervously entered the bank basement. It was a dark room, very cramped, and separated from the vault by a thick stone wall. TGC crept along the floor until he reached an iron cage below the trap door. Above him, he could hear voices.
"Ah, you must be the town sheriff!" One of the twins said. "Betcha think yer real tough..."
"You're not gonna get away with this, Driscolls!" Frank declared.
"Ain't nobody tells me an' my sister wut to do..."
The next thing TGC heard from above him was the sound of a gunshot.

"Gol durn it! Where's the--" but then he saw it: A large metal lever with a sign above it that read "DANGER. DO NOT PULL." He pulled.
Above him, the ceiling parted and the Driscoll twins dropped neatly into the cage. Some idiot had piled mattresses on the cage floor, so the twins landed unhurt, although Maisie Driscoll screamed like she'd been scalded and Mickey Driscoll shot a hole in the cement wall. TGC hit the floor and crawled as fast as he could behind the coal bin. When bullets were flying, he knew better than to stick around.

Frank came down and using the skills that made him a sheriff, aimed nice and steady and shot the guns out of the Driscoll twins hands.
"Haven't you two caused enough trouble as is? You should consider yourself lucky that you haven't actually killed anyone yet, otherwise It would be the gallows for you two" he stated.
"Damn you sheriff; sticking up for these newcomers you hardly know!" Maisie stated
"Personally I don't know if a bank was the best choice of business, but I still have a duty to protect everyone in this town. Now spill it, where are the others?" Sheriff Frank pointed out.
"What?"
"Don't play dumb, the rest of the Driscoll gang! Zeke, Rufus, Earl, Willy, Darrell, Mildred and Timmy. Where are they holed up?" Frank pressed on.
"If you think we're going to tell you that they're hiding in the old Rollard Place just outside of town, you've got another thing coming!" Mickey stated, as Frank and Maisie both looked at him with expressions of "I can't believe you just said that"

Omigod, the Rollard Place, thought TGC. Sure hope Frank doesn't expect us to go there. That place is haunted.
He decided to stay behind the coal bin, hoping to duck out once Frank's back was turned. Frank busied himself cuffing the Driscoll twins and marching them off to the sheriff's office, which contained the only jail cell for miles around.
