Water Chip? Been There, Done That
"Fine, I'll believe you. For now. But there's something going on, I'm sure of it. But anyway, I'll go gather the posse."
Wyatt went rang the bell near the town hall. People began to gather outside.
"In case you didn't notice, we have some trouble by the name of a gang called the Hells Bikers. They want us to hand two newcomers over, or else they'll attack."
"Why don't we give them over? They ain't kin or friends!", shouted one of the townspeople.
"I know, but I it ain't right betraying people like that. They expect our hospitality, and this is how we show it. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Now I need a posse to help fight off the bandits. Who's with me?"
An uncomfortable silence followed. Wyatt sighed, and finally said, "If you won't do it out of the goodness of your hearts, then do it for yourselves. One of the newcomers has seen them pull this trick on a town before, and they'll attack us either way. They'll steal our children, rape our women, and destroy this town. Are we gonna let them stab us in the back like that? Hell no!"
This seemed to get the townspeople riled. The able men and women went to get their guns and other weapons. Some still grumbled about how Wyatt wasn't doing a good job of protecting them, considering he was the de facto leader here. Wyatt went back to the others, and said, "We got ourselves a posse."
