"How much longer, Jax?! We've been riding for two hours straight now!" Jane shouted from the back of a carraige.
'let's stop in the next town, that should make us clear from all the guards!' Jax hit the two horses with a whip to make them go even faster. 'Hold on!' he yelled, as the carriage was racing over a few bumps in the road.
In the back, Jane flew up and down, hitting her head against the side. "DAMN YOU JAX! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS"
Jax laughed and slowed down as the next town came in sight. They rode through the empty streets and Jax stopped the horses in front of the saloon. "time fer a drink" he muttered as he stepped down and walked into the saloon.
"Two beers, missy!" he shouted at Billy-Jo.
In the meantime Jane stayed outside. She unhooked the horses from the carriage and started making a fire in the back of the carriage. It didn't take long before the fire grew bigger and the whole carriage went up in flames. She slapped the horses on their rears and they ran off. She headed inside, grinning over towards Jax, acting extremely calm.
"What the.. Damn you woman! Those were our rides!" he groaned.

Bonnie's gaze moved across to new man that'd just walked in. She dipped her finger in her glass of whiskey and licked the droplets off while she stared at Jax, curiously watching as Jane joined him at the bar.

Back in the jail, Nicolas nodded to Rowdy's reply. He realized that breaking from jail with a horse thief wasn't going to help him clear his name and reputation.. but then again, he disliked the idea of dying at the noose tomorrow considerably more. So he got to work. He mixed the powders in his hat, then scooped a handful of the mix back into the small leather bag he'd worn around his neck. While the guard stayed fast asleep, Nicolas shoved the bag as far into the cell's keyhole as its space would allow. He picked up what was left of one of his matches, and ignited it on the wall. "Take a step back," He advised Rowdy, before he brought the flame to the bag of explosive powder that was jammed into the keyhole.
The explosion that followed was more than he could've hoped for. With a deafening, loud bang, the lock exploded in a flash of white and orange flames. The door flew from its hinges from the sheer force, and the explosion knocked Nicolas off his feet. While the jail filled with thick smoke, Nicolas landed on his ass on the ground. A grin was on his face at the simple fact that it worked.

Rowdy was knocked back into the far wall of the cell, and then onto his ass. But he wasn't going to sit around in a daze. He was quick to get back on his feet. He grabbed his holsters off the desk and fired a shot into the guard's chest before he had time to realise what was going on. Rowdy fastened his holsters across his waist, one resting on each hip. He kept one gun in a tight grip in his hand. "Quickly," He murmured to Nicolas, pausing with his back against the door frame, checking outside for any unexpected attackers.

"don't worry, we'll find some new transportation soon enough, got money enough anyway' she glanced over to Billie-Jo 'got some food for us ? I'm starvin' '
Jax let his eyes wander around the saloon, immediately looked Bonnie up and down and he gave her a grin. 'Howdy ma'am'

"Jesus," Nicolas mumbled under his breath, while he stumbled over the body of the guard. He didn't have the time to re-evaluate his plans though. If anything, the exploded prison cell and the dead guard contributed even more reasons to get out of there quickly. Nicolas snatched his powder-filled hat from the floor, and found his own gun on the desk, before he moved to the door as well. A quick glance outside showed that their break-out would not go unnoticed. Men carrying guns were alerted by shouts from across the street, and they aimed their attention to the jail.

Bonnie bit down on her bottom lip, batting her eyelashes flirtatiously. "Evening," She said to the stranger, suddenly not so annoyed at Billie-Jo chasing away her fun.
Rowdy took a deep breath and ran from the jail, skidding to a halt behind a parked carriage. He reached his arm around the side, firing shots at the approaching men with guns. His gaze didn't fail to notice the burning carriage in front of the saloon. The smoke would make for good shelter, blocking the attacker's aims. He waved two fingers at Nicolas, beckoning him over.

Nicolas nodded, his palms sweaty as he tightly gripped his gun. He made a run for the carriage where Rowdy was hiding too, only just avoiding a salvo of gunshots aimed at him. Ducking behind the carriage, he looked over to Rowdy, "The saloon?" He guessed, "Wait.." He shoved his hat with the remaining explosive powder into the carriage in front of them. Without asking, he snatched the cigar from Rowdy's mouth and dropped it in the hat. While the carriage exploded, Nicolas pushed Rowdy back into the street, the two of them making a break for the saloon next.

"Yeah, hold yer horses", Billie-Jo said to the man who had stepped into the saloon demanding food. She hid the gun again and walked over to him;"Bacon and eggs? Toast?"

'Yeah, sounds good, two each please' she ordered Billie-Jo, while she watched Jax get flirty with the other woman in the saloon. "Get a grip Jax'
Jax grunted and shrugged ''ow you doin' ma'am ?' he winked at her, taking a gulp from his drink. He needed to cool down with a woman after that rush of escaping death earlier today.
