Everything unfolded quickly and with little warning, the saloon a flurry of activity as shots were fired and people scrambled to escape or find some cover. From behind the bar he and Charlotte were relatively protected, but as events unfolded and it soon became clear that this man was Rat O’Hennessey - a wanted fugitive with a bounty on his head things changed. Rose vaulted the bar with a gun in hand and a determined snarl on her face as she offered a thousand dollars to anyone who would assist her, with others already rushing after the man. She looked quite the part in her dress, Simion thought to himself supressing a small chuckle. 

More shots rang out as this ‘Rat’ fired a few well-placed rounds into the ceiling of the room, sending shards and splinters of wood and nails scattering about the place.  


The sheriff who seemed a tad wonky on her feet to Simion soon followed the others, but not before she exclaimed the true value of this man aloud, a whopping $10,000 – more than enough for anyone to risk their lives. It soon became clear to him why this undertaker had acted as he had despite his obvious lack of shooting skills. 

As he watched events unfold Simion grabbed himself the closest bottle of liquor before taking a deep swig from the bottle, sighing as the harsh liquid burnt at his throat. Moments later he put the bottle back before hopping once more over the bar and making his way quickly to the Sheriff as she pounded a fist against the doorway, clearly frustrated at the shootout unfolding under her nose and her lack of ability to give chase. 

“Need focus?” asked Simion with a smirk as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the packet of honey flavoured gum he had taken earlier. “Doctor Smith’s patented chewing gum” he explained “containing a quite marvellous substance that I think you’d find will eh… perk you up and help you concentrate a little more?” with a smile he took out a piece and popped it into his mouth before holding the tin out for her as he began to chew. The effects were quite fast, he noted, as he soon began to feel his heart rate quicken and a feeling of wellbeing and focus wash across him.
