>>5792846With the conversation circling back to your shared pursuit of Colt, you decide to make an offer. "Why don't we help each other?" you propose, offering to cooperate.
The cowboy grumbles in response, shaking his head. "I don't think so. I need him alive, I'm not going after a bounty like you lot are."
"Well, how long do you need him for? Couldn't we simply find him, you do what you need to do; then after that, I take him and cash in the bounty? The contract is 'dead or alive,' after all."
The cowboy ponders your proposal for a moment. "How can I know this isn't a trick?" he questions, still wary.
"I guess you'll just have to trust me. I could always just deliver another targeted kick to your testicles and force you to comply," you jest.
After another brief moment of contemplation, the cowboy nods and offers his hand. "Alright. Partners, then," he concedes. You shake on it, sealing the agreement. The storm continues to rage on.
How will you proceed?
