Rob and his crew make themselves at home in a small inn within the boundaries of Ciduad Juarez. The morning after they arrive, Rob, The Giant, Landa and the Little Man leave the crew behind and make their way to the Mayors offices. Rob was aware of the reputation held by Guerra, and his disdain for the Americans. He elected to conduct the conversation in Spanish, he had been fluent in the language for near on a decade now but had little cause to speak it recently.

Rob was pleasantly surprised by the offer "Vaya, gracias señor. Estamos en busca del villano y sinvergüenza conocido como Juan Álvarez. Estaríamos muy agradecidos si un miembro de su personal o incluso a ti mismo estaría dispuesto a mostrarnos donde el señor Alvarez. Mi plan es llevarlo con vida si es posible, mucho tiempo bajo la horca sería una muerte más apropiado que una bala."
Rob and the crew saddle up and wait for the Mayor to join them.

'Estoy de acuerdo. Vamonos' Guerra, sporting duel handguns and a Winchester rifle, exits his office building and join Rob, preparing to head to Alvarez' Ranch out in the Juarez Badlands.

"Mr Mayor, I think from now on we should converse in English, primarily for the benefit of my less linguistically gifted associates."
Rob and his crew ride for the Ranch, as they approach the posse splits into four groups of five men, with Rob, the originals and Guerra in one squad. They approach the ranch from all sides, dismounted and with weapons drawn. The plan is to kneecap anyone that shows themselves. The group is cautious and men move between cover, using outbuildings, barns and stone walls to conceal their movement.

'Hmm... fine.'
As the crew approached the ranch, someone was spotted and an alarm bell rang out. Alvarez, ever the cunning outlaw, had amassed a significant amount of support. From the early gunfire that rang out, it was estimated at around ten men. Red Rob and his men, fortunately in cover, were unharmed but locked into place by the marksmen in the building.

"God damnit, Lolita, bring up bernie."
As pot shots ricochet off rocks and kicked up the dirt, The Giant slung 'bernie' into his harness and begann to open fire on the house. Bullets spat at the door and windows, as she suppressed the enemy Rob hurled a stick of dynamite through one of the windows. When the explosion came around, the men surged forwards to finish their prey.

It was a grim day for the experienced Lawman. Perhaps the outlaws were better trained than he had anticipated, perhaps the building provided them enough sanctuary to fight back, perhaps it was simply bad luck.
It went badly right from the start. The Giant was able to pick off one of the outlaws with the Gatling Gun and Red Rob threw the dynamite through the window, one wily outlaw was able to throw it right back. Rob was able to duck out of the way, but the building, and the men inside, stood unhurt. As the posse charged forward, they were at the mercy of the marksmen in the building. Bill James fell first, then Cut-throat Claire followed by Little John and his older brother Big John. Juan 'The Bullet' Ramon was also killed by his namesake.
Still they pressed on, with the Giant racking up a few more kills as Red Rob and his posse got closer to the Ranchhouse it descended into a straight-out gunslinging match. The outlaws were tough, but the lawmen fought on. In the battle, Hans Landa met a brutal end via a pistol shot to the neck.
Eventually there were only two outlaws left, Alvarez and his right-hand man. A melee ensued with Red Rob taking down one of the men, before turning his attention to Alvarid. As Red Rob turned, he witnessed another casualty as Randy was cut down by the experienced outlaw. After a brief engagement, Red Rob thrust his sabre through Alvarid's heart.

Tears rolled down Robs face as he heaped the last spade of dirt onto Landas grave. He didn't salute, Landa was never a military man. But he didn't deserve to meet his end like this.
Rob watched as the remaining crew heaved up the crosses. Guerra seemed shocked at what was going on, but Rob felt nothing. They had decided to crucify Alvarids men and to place them around the ranch, the ranch itself was burned to the ground, after first having been searched.
Alvarids body was given special treatment, it was crucified outside Ciduad Juarez but something else was done to it. He was stripped naked and had his genitals removed and then sown into his mouth. The message was clear enough.

Having observed the desecration of corpses, Guerra thanks Rob for his help but informs him he is not welcome in Juarez any more.

"Guerra!" Rob sits on his horse as his crew mills around behind him on the outskirts of town. When Guerra turns around and looks at him Rob grins and throws a shiny object into the dirt ahead of him. He then draws his pistol and fires a volley off at Guerra, aiming to kill him. Rob and his crew then turn tails and bolt.
**********************************
Later that night The Giant speaks to Rob, questioning his motives and actions, away from the others "No man, after what we just went through, should treat us with such disrespect. Landa is dead! And what for?! Some fat bastard in a suit in some cosy little office somewhere? What good is it? There is no honour in being a lawman now, not here. Not when you have the likes of Corbyn using the position to murder and rape his way through life. No, we aren't with the law now. From now on, we make our own law."
*********************************
Back in Ciduad Juarez, a small girl stoops into the dirt and picks up a worn and tattered badge, on it are the words 'United States Marshall'.

Unfortunately for Rob, Guerra was one hardcore son of a bitch. He shifted his shoulders dodging the bullet and returned fire, hitting Rob in the arm and knocking him off his horse. The Giant was killed in the the following shootout, alongside Arafat and Ericho Cartmenez. In the confusion, Guerra found cover. The gunfight had made a lot of noise, and activity in Juarez suggested that Guerra's friends were on their way.
OOC: Red Rob has attracted a bounty on his head for the attempted murder of an elected representative in Mexico.
