Deputy Chester Braithwaite Jr was standing outside the jail. All of a sudden, he felt cold steel at his temple.
" I need the keys to the cell or I will shoot you dead".
Laura Bullion dragged the stunned deputy inside and then threw the keys to Etta.
Etta unlocked the cell as her friend bound and then gagged the deputy.
Ben Kilpatrick looked at his watch. It read 4:15 am. He knocked on the door of the bank. Yawning, Chester Braithwaite Sr opened the door. He felt a revolver enter his mouth. Ben quickly closed the door. He pointed the revolver at the banker. " Give me the keys to the safe or you are a dead man". He put the money into a canvas bag, tied up the banker and ran out the back door.
Etta and Laura were waiting for him with a fresh mount.
" Where are we going?" Ben asked as they quickly rode out of town.
Etta and Laura smiled at each other. " The Wyoming Territory".
