Still in need of money, Bazz would team up with Oglethorpe, and industrialist Lazarus North to rustle chickens from Sadie’s property for North’s canned chicken business. The crime did not go unnoticed by the law, and Senior Deputy Emmett Braithwait would confront Bazz on the matter.

Braithwait would attempt to bribe Bazz into admitting his crime, and ratting out those who did it with him. Bazz would refuse, and flee. Braithwait gave chase, which would eventually lead to the two of them entering into physical conflict. After some wrestling, Bazz would choke out his pursuer, before handing him over to a passer by so that he could get medical attention. Bazz then continued to flee.

Ballad of Bob Smith:

Capture of Bob Smith:

While on the run, Bazz’s infatuation with Sadie would not cease. He would even go as far as to try and propose to her at one point, this is when Sadie would reveal her engagement to law officer Greyson Locke.

Meeting Jack Kettleman:

After his release from prison, Bazz was free to once again roam the crossing. While in Blackwater he would meet the bank robber Jack Kettleman. The two agreed to rob the Blackwater bank together, and thus began Bazz’s affiliation with major criminals.

While the bank robbery was a success, Bazz was not so fortunate after the fact however. Law cornered him in Valentine, and arrested him for the bank robbery. When asked how they recognized him, law replied that they used his bald head as an indication.

While being brought out to do some community service, Bazz and Deputy Greyson Locke would confront one another. After some blunt words from Locke, Bazz attacked him, and was in turn attacked by several lawmen, then put back into his cell.
