Jim hoisted Joe onto his shoulder. He approached the sheriff with a wave and a cheesy grin. He dropped Joe at her feet. "We brought you a present. Dune even customized it for you. What a guy."
"Words, they're all we have to go on." Guildenstern, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are DeadShevon didn't respond to Red right away, instead watching Jim carry over Joe, who had grunted in pain when Jim picked him up. He then screamed out when Jim dropped him without any care for his leg, before slowly looking up at Shevon and managing a pained, "Hey Sheriff... I surrender." As Joe held his hands up, Shevon just raised an eyebrow and turned to Red.
"Frankly I think I'm the one who should be asking that. We were having a nice quiet day, thinking you guys could finally get a job done smoothly, when suddenly one of you calls ranting about Doc working for the succubus and the succubus being in the helicopter and pretending to be me. Then I switch to your channel and get freaking taunted by the bitch" Shevon said angrily, her dissatisfaction clear.
Then she looked at Anarchy. "Doc's in his store; we just got done asking him some questions. I don't think he's working for the demon, but just in case, I've decided to have a guard watching him at all times for any suspicious behavior. And for anyone trying to attack him" Shevon went on, looking towards Dale with a nasty glare at that last part. "He's actually waiting for you so he can help your leg" she added as an afterthought, glancing back towards Anarchy.
She tore her gaze away from the bounty hunters to look back down at Joe. "I hope you at least remembered to check him" Shevon thought aloud.
"This guy pressed a crucifix on him" Dune answered, having followed Jim a bit behind. "Then I checked him for bites, but I didn't find any" he added.
"Then he goes in a jail cell, and I'll deal with him later" Shevon muttered, turning away from the bandit and back to the bounty hunters.
You are reading this."Do you want me to take him?" said Jim. "Because we did a good job. We set fire to everything and got a prisoner. We went above and beyond the call of duty."
"Words, they're all we have to go on." Guildenstern, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead(OOC: Had more free time before work than I expected today. This will probably be the only main post I'll do until after work.)
Inside the bookstore, Anarchy found Doc and officer Ken. They were each sitting on one of the reading benches; Doc was actually reading, while Ken was keeping an eye on Doc. Doc looked up at Anarchy when she addressed him and gave her a light smile. "Ah yes, we do. I have the spell for speeding up your leg's healing process ready" Doc said, standing up and walking towards one of the isles between the many bookshelves. Ken likewise stood and made to follow after him, giving Anarchy a quick nod of acknowledgement on the way.
Outside, Shevon glared at Dale again for a moment, but turned to Jim when he spoke. "Everything?" Shevon asked simply, eyebrows raising a bit.
"Well, not everything" Dune cut in from beside Jim. "We didn't have enough molly's for that. But I'd say one out of every seven, maybe six buildings over there was in flames when we left, and I doubt they can control that much fire. Another run like that and there'll barely be a town over there anymore" he continued.
Shevon thought about this for a few moments. "Well, I guess all in all it wasn't so bad then. After all, none of you got hurt" Shevon started, a quick glance down at Joe indicating she obviously didn't count him. "You managed to do what you set out to do and you even came back with him. I'm just angry that that demon bitch managed to imitate me so easily" she continued, eyes on Jim and Dune again.
It was at this point that Joe apparently felt the need to speak up. "Hey speaking of the succubus, wasn't it technically her who captured m- OUGHMPH!" Joe was interrupted when Shevon kicked into Joe's crotch without even looking away from Jim and Dune.
"There's a detainment cell in the back of the station. I wouldn't advise dragging him there by his leg; but I won't oppose if you do" Shevon told Jim rather dryly. "Also, tell everyone to meet up there before you guys go out again. We need to change what channel you guys use so the succubus doesn't know it" she added, then turned and headed towards Dale.
"And you, I need you to explain to me why you think Doc is a traitor" Shevon practically ordered from Dale.
You are reading this.Jim looked at Dune. "I am a sucker for extra credit." He grabbed Joe's bad leg. "Come on, mate. We're off to see the wizard." He made for the station.
"Words, they're all we have to go on." Guildenstern, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are DeadOOC: I'm just lurking until Recon actually has something to do other than talk and make inappropriate jokes. I'm not Chuck Cunninghammed just yet.
"So, anyone mind filling me in on why we're delaying important missions and major operations to hunt down one bitch?" Recon had been following around silently for the entire time.

Red responded to Recon after getting back from parking the Jeep near the motel.
"We're not stopping but seeing as how this "bitch" can change into anything, it makes us pretty paranoid. Or, at least it makes me paranoid." he told Recon. Then he saw Joe.
"What the???" Red stammered. "Didn't he run away?" he asked no one in particular before running up to where Joe was.
"Was Jub-bub with you? Where did you guys find him?" he asked both Joe and the hunters near Joe
Jim stopped and turned to Red. "Succubus put him in the helicopter. This made us suspicious, so we broke his leg."
"Words, they're all we have to go on." Guildenstern, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead"Well, we thought you were the succubus," Dale said to Shevon, "which doesn't sound so crazy now, does it? So I thought the succubus had probably killed you and shoved your body in a dumpster somewhere, and I remembered Doc had that funny plant for finding zombies, so I figured I'd ask him if he could do the same for dead guys, cause even if it wasn't you, maybe she killed someone else important. He shows me his plant, and tells me that you had asked him the same thing the other day and only found a raccoon. Then I panicked cause I was thinking that if I wanted to take over a town, I'd kill the only guy who knows how to find dead bodies and pretend there aren't any and then I punched him."
Dale whistled again, then continued, "So then when he falls back, he says something like You coulda just asked me, dear, and that he thought I should have gone in there as you. And that's the thing, I never told him I thought that it was you, either. But I didn't know what I do know now and just figured I fucked up."

"I told you about it yesterday, remember? It's a spell that helps bones heal; it should allow your leg to be back to normal in about five days, instead of about five weeks" Doc said to Anarchy, showing her to a ritual circle drawn on the isle floor in chalk. "I just need you to sit on the floor with your leg in the circle. This should only take a minute" he added.
Beside Anarchy, officer Ken leaned against the shelf and kept his right hand close to his holstered pistol, just in case.
Outside, Joe had started yelling out in pain as Jim dragged him, and didn't seem to be putting much effort to answering Red's question. Dune however was following Jim, and turned to Red. "We didn't see any sign of Jub-Bub or any other person there. He came running out of the overrun town with a white flag when he heard us approach; had a couple runners on his tail, too" Dune explained to Red, with a one-handed shrug.
Meanwhile, Shevon gaped for a moment, bewildered by Dale's explanation. "Wait, you thought I was the- Nevermind, later. I can confirm what Doc told you, so what you're saying is that after you asked Doc about a plan to track down the succubus and he told you the truth, you panicked?" Shevon started, incredulous. "And then you figured he was working for the demon because he mentioned her pretending to be me? Well of course he fucking did. I'm a pretty obvious choice for a succubus to replace due to my authority; today proved that" she continued, now slowly pacing around Dale.
"But okay, I guess that might seem pretty suspicious from your point of view. But I've known Doc for years; he cares about the people in this town, and wouldn't do anything that might threaten us" Shevon went on. "Now thankfully, I actually have a new suspect thanks to a report from Doc. After all, what could be more suspicious than specifically asking someone to go talk in a private place, then asking them about a suspicious artifact, then physically assaulting them?" she asked him, a bit rhetorically.
Shevon only gave Dale one moment to realize she was talking about him, before she thrust her knee into his groin, hard. "That's for punching my town's only doctor. Maybe now you'll start to get why he assumed you were the succubus. If it weren't for the fact that I gave you a crucifix just earlier today, I'd assume you were too" Shevon told him, then turned and headed for the station.

You are reading this.Jim kicked Joe in the stomach to shut him up. "Well, we've got places to go." He set off again.
"Words, they're all we have to go on." Guildenstern, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead"It went swimmingly," said Jim. "I hope he passes out. He would be so much easier to drag if he was unconscious."

"Hey, yeah, thanks for telling us," Dale said, turning the dial on the radio to the regular frequency to avoid any awkwardness.
