THE OUTLAW AND BRIDE PART 9........

Deep down Wayne knows he shouldn't take Ned and the others up on joining up with them to rob a bank. It didn't look like he had any other option. Maybe just one bank job and he would have enough money to save the family ranch.
OK, Ned I will join with you to do that bank job, just one job and I'm through. Great Wayne, we have a bank in St. Joesph in mind. It's the only bank in town. We will ride in late at night, break in and blow the safe get the money and ride out before anyone sees us. Brad likes to play with explosives so he's the man to rig and blow the safe.
St. Joesph, Kansas, is about 5 miles away from where the men are camped. Ned tells that Wayne, Brad and himself will enter the bank and Fred will stay with the horses and have them ready when we come out of the bank with the money. The men begin their ride to town to rob the bank. Wayne's heart is beating madly, why am I doing this, I know its wrong but continues on. Entering the small town the men stop and survey the town square. The bank is in the middle of town and the jail is at the other end. No one is stirring this late of night, Ned motions let go! They quietly ride up to the bank and off their horses and Fred takes the reins while the others are busy gaining entry. A wooden door is kicked in without much effort. They are inside, Brad places two sticks of dynamite onto the safe door. The explosion should impact the door and break the locking devices. Take cover Brad says. BOOOOOM!!!!Hurry grab the bag of gold and get out of here!! They rush outside and onto their horses and away they ride. The plan has worked to perfection so far. No one has seen them, they will split up into two sets of riders and cover their tracks to confuse those who are sure to follow their trail. The next morning they all arrive back at camp. Now its time the count and divide up the loot. $420 in gold that's not what I expected says Ned but we all made it safe and sound. Ned divides out each ones share, Wayne are you leaving like you said? Wayne for some reason has second thoughts about just doing one job. Man, the rush he got from all that excitement just can't be explained. Guys, I think I will stay around a little longer.
WELL WAYNE ITS A FINE MESS YOU HAVE GOT INTO?? CONTINUED----------------
