" Come on!" Indy said urging his horse into town, after hering more gunshots comming from there. Cheyenne followed him, each keeping an eye out for eatchother, and Mariana.

Indy took out his whip, and fling it, so it tied and triped the man, running after Galveston.

Mariana rushed after Cheyenne and her father, and saw him take out his whip. She smiled in spite of herself. He <i>was</i> a showoff when he did that, but it didn't matter. He was still cool. She steered Storm out of the way when the man was tripped, otherwise she would have trampled him.

Indy and Cheyenne both jumped off their horses. Indy pulled the guy, he had a hold of with his whip. " What is you bisness here?"

Cheyenne sat down next to Galveston. She pulled up her pant leg. " Loogs like it just skimmed threw the surface of you skin. It never got to its full potential shot."

Mariana looked around as Cheyenne and her father began to question the man. She was used to these situations already.

The man said nothing. Indy pulled him up, and Cheyenne searched him for anyother wepons. "What is you bisness." Ind repeted, trying not to loose his temper. But still no anwser. "Mariana, what would you do with him?"

"Hmmm?" asked Mariana, both startled and surprised that her father was consulting her. She looked down at the man and said, "Pull his arm up behind his back until he spits out the answer." She smiled her mischievous smile.

"Let me see how its done." Indy said, trying to let his daughter to get used to this kind of stuff.

"Alright," said Mariana. She grabbed the man's wrist, spun him around so that his back faced her, and pulled his wrist up to almost between his shoulderblades. He bent over and cried out. "Ready to talk now?" she asked, smiling. He nodded, but she didn't let go.
