The Cowboys are a civilian vigilante militia, apart of the Coalition Against Trafficking. They are based in Grantsville Utah, and are made up of several former residents of the town.

## History

The organization came about when five former high school athletes went on a mission on the 20th of December to find a girl that went missing on the week of college finals at the nearby community college. The team conducted an investigation in the cold of night, three days after she went missing. They found a rundown road a few miles from the college, with a piece of her shirt torn off along the side of the road. While they admitted it was a long shot, they decided to give it a shot.

In the cold of the night, they kept moving along. The further along they drove, the more unsettled they got. The road was completely abandoned. They drove off down the road, where they were unable to follow anything anymore due to the snow storm that happened earlier. After driving down the road for about a half hour, they noticed an abandoned Silo, with a newer looking truck next to it. They left the vehicle, one of them staying behind to watch the road while James led the rest of them towards the Silo, slowly. As they approached the Silo, they noticed several pairs of footprints coming and going from the silo. One of the Cowboys stayed behind to watch their backs while the rest of them went into the Silo. There they found a trap-door in the floor that, upon opening, they discovered warm light coming from. They quietly moved down to the basement where they could hear some laughter coming from somewhere around the corner. James peak around the corner and saw a room with a table and food on it, as well as a heater and a bright light, with a couple of men watching a TV.

James and his men slowly moved closer to hear the conversation, which revealed to them that they had at least one girl in another room. They entered the room with their weapons up, ordering the men to stand down. The two men watching TV laughed and put their hands up when several other men came from various other rooms down the hallway, where the Cowboys fired on them. The two by the TV stopped laughing and dropped to the floor as the other men ran back to their rooms, one of them shot dead. James shouted that they only want the girl and nothing else, before the other men started to shoot from their rooms. One of the Cowboys was hit and shouted in pain as he crawled back, shooting a few rounds towards the doorway that the shots came from while James and the other Cowboy hid behind the couch. The shooting alerted both other kids outside where they ran into the basement and helped their friend who was shot, as the shooting went off.

One of the Cowboys called the police and reported their position as the rest of the boys fired. The shouts of pain coming from the rooms as well as their friends were mixed with the sounds of gunfire. For a while the shooting was slow and controlled, as neither side has much ammo. For about an hour the battle slowly raged on before the police showed up. The police quickly disarmed the Cowboys and as they moved towards the other men, found that they had no ammo left in their weapons. The police searched the basement and found Butter, who was tied to a poll with her head shaved.

The men were arrested and the Cowboys were brought back for questioning. After the Cowboys were treated for their wounds, they told the police everything. The police alerted the Cowboys parents, and told the parents what happened to their wounded children while the rest of them were held for investigation.

Several months later the men were tried and arrested in a court hearing, and the Cowboys were awarded for their heroics. Butter was treated for her wounds and was thankful for the help her old friends carried out for her. The Coalition Against Trafficking took word of what happened and also awarded the Cowboys. There, the Cowboys official formed as an official organization, named after their old High School mascot. The CAT agreed to train them and they were accepted into the Coalition.

## Fighting in the War on Chains

After joining CAT, they assisted Operation Underground Railroad in a mission to Southaven, Mississippi, where they engaged in battle with a Confederate States of America holdout group, rescuing four victims.
