## Story

Following their escape from Baton Rouge, the four arrived at Opelousas to catch the train to El Paso. John anticipated that it would seem to be a simple train boarding, but Doc objected by saying that the sheriff of Opelousas wouldn't be happy to see him. Sam jested, teasing Doc for his misfortune. Seeing no way forward, Kate volunteered herself to lead everyone to the train stop safely.

But before they begin, Kate had to get a new pair of clothes. Seeing a dress hung by a shed, she wanted to get it for herself. John objected, but Kate reminded him of their old game of "Catch the Card". The two got off their horses and got into position.

Using her poker cards, Kate lured the gunman away from his shed and John Knocked him out. Sam came soon after and tied him up. With the situation calm, Kate asked for some privacy. As she was changing her clothes, she noticed Sam eavesdropping on her; she cursed him.

When she was done, the four were reunited. They noticed to the gunman in their way. Kate decided to seduce one of them, while Doc and Sam took care of the horses. As the gunman approached her, John rushed to knock him out. Kate deduced that the second one would not be so amiable towards women. Using her mirror, Kate was able to blind the second gunman and the four rushed out of his sight.

Feeling alarmed by what happened, the second gunman went to the train stop to warn the sheriff of the strange goings-on. Alarmed, the sheriff ordered his man to look around.

With the sheriff but himself, Kate slowly moved towards him and kicked him in the pants. With the sheriff out of action, the other three joined Kate on the platform and the four took the train to El Paso.
