Prologue: Don't Betray the Rangers.
Bell sat in that rusty old rocking chair, staring at the decaying rubber diner booth in front of him. He was actually thinking of taking that old ragged gown on the skeleton in the booth. Looking around the diner of dead bodies, he reached out to grab the gown very slowly, as if one of the corpses were to shoot him upright. Tearing apart the cobwebs attaching it to the skeleton, Bell ripped off the gown from the skeleton. He embraced it and quickly ran out of the diner. He ran into Rally, waiting with his arms crossed and a toothpick sticking out of his mouth.
"What took you so long?" he gazed into Bell's eyes.
Bell hesitated for a moment, looking down at his feet, rubbing his beard.
"This was all I found, boss-" Bell held up the gown, smiling toothily, "-I swear there wasn't anything important in there."
Rally turned around, looking all over. He felt the urge to go into the diner, but he was too afraid of dead people he just couldn't do it. Jumping on his brahmin, he gestured to Bell to get on. Rally rode his brahmin through the wasteland, not speaking a word to Bell the whole trip. They traveled miles and miles before they approached a huge struture that seemed to be a Pre-war hotel. They stopped there to rest, then the next morning left empty handed. They only realized it once they were in the Lobby.
"Bell, where's all our stuff?" Rally asked.
Bell dived into his pockets for the knife he had left there the night before, but couldn't feel anything. He looked at his belt for the revolver strapped to his pants, but there was no sign of any of their inventory.
"This is awfully strange. Maybe we forgot to take it before we left the hotel room." Rally turned and started walking towars the elevator.
He pressed the button for the elevator and he heard the usual humming sound a elevator makes when it's moving. But then the hum suddenly stopped. What he heard next was the most horrific sound he had ever heard. It sounded like a rabid killing machine. The elevator crashed down to earth like a bullet with so much pressure, the door blasted off its hinges and charged Rally to the ground, witch had a huge hole in from the impact.
Bell quickly ran to help Rally up. "You all right?" Rally got up with the help of Bell and nodded.
"Let's get out of this hellhole."
When the duo were revealed to bright sunshine, they saw their brahmin taken but the saddle was layed on the bike stand. Rally picked the saddle and found a note strapped beneath it.
It read:
Want to get your brahmin back? Follow the 8 footsteps in the sand...
Rally crumpled it up and threw it down. Following the footsteps, they found several blood stains a couple yards apart. From two miles away, they could see the rotting body of their poor brahmin layed out on the floor right next to an iron whip. The tip looked poisoned, almost as if that was what killed the brahmin. But it was doubted since the head was exploded and the legs cut off. This wasn't a good sign. Rally and Bell felt woozy and fell to the floor cracking up. In the haze of it all, right before they had closed they're eyes, they say two Arizona Rangers standing over them.
"Hey boys." the Ranger on the left smiled a tooth-less grin. "Good night." he pulled out a revolver and pointed it at Rally's head. Then, he pressed the trigger.
