Doc and Daisy moved into the Cactus Saloon, each pulling a door shut behind them. The events in the street they had just witnessed weighed heavily upon their minds as they took care to secure the doors. They both turned to the main room of the saloon. The morbid sight in the room was even more grizzly than the street. Looking at each other, they knew they needed to shore up their defenses as fast as possible.

“I’ll get the windows.” Doc moved toward the closest one.

“I’ll get Frank started in back, then I’ll help.” Daisy moved to the bar to talk to Frank. She knew she’d have to handle him carefully. Not really a man of action, he was shell-shocked over having shot two men in less than an hour. Although now that she thought of it, it was good to know he’d step up and take the shot.

“Frank, honey, we need your help.” Daisy gave him a sweet but stern smile. “You need to lock down the back door and block the windows in the kitchen. OK?”

Frank just nodded at her, a worried, pained look still pulling at the corners of his normally cheerful eyes. She patted him on the shoulder as he walked past her.

Moving to a set of windows opposite the front door from Doc, Daisy pulled the shutters closed and secured them. She noticed that Doc was tipping over some tables to put against the wall in front of the windows. That was a good idea, she thought. It wasn’t much, but it provided a little more weight. That just might be enough to keep anyone outside from getting inside.

Daisy was just finishing up her last window when there was a loud bang in the kitchen and a scream. Before Daisy could move, the kitchen door flew open and one of the other waitresses, Maggie, came running through the door as fast as she could go. She hadn’t seen any of the changes that Doc and Daisy had made out front, nor did she have time to stop her forward motion.

The line of chairs from the tables were near the bar to get them out of the way. Another scream came out of Maggie as she put her hands out and ran straight into the chairs at full speed. Her hands did little to help as she flipped over the chairs. Her left hand slipped in between two slats on a chair back as she rotated through the air over it, and there was a sickeningly loud snapping sound. Then she landed on her back with a thud, right in front of the man that Doc had previously been working on.

The man was holding his arm in pain when Maggie landed at his feet. Without another thought, he reached down to help, untangling her arm from the chair. Her bone was visible through the skin, and blood began to flow from the wound. The man paused for a moment before continuing.

Daisy and Doc both saw all of this happen in just the space of seconds.
