Day Five: The Ugly Truth

Clucks sat in the Sheriff's Office with a confused look on his face. "B-but Charles! How can you do this?!"
Clucks was in shock whenever Charles told him the news. It seems that the mayor wanted Charles to RELEASE Bert and Kert! It was an outrage. Apparently they had survived there time for their "minor offences" even though they nearly beat Clucks to death.
"I'm sorry Charles. I can't do anything about it." he said with a frown.
"Well, surely we can refuse to let them go?" Clucks asked.
"We could, but then the mayor would declare us as enemies of the town and then everyone would be hunting us down." he told him.
"Well then, i'm going to go talk to the mayor and see if I can get him to change his mind." he said. He grabbed his gun and holster, and left out the door.
He arrived a few minutes later at the mayor's door. He knocked on it, but when no reply came, he turned the nob, and he walked right in. He headed straight up the stairs, and he walked to the mayor's office. It was cracked open, and he looked in. What was before him chilled him to the bone. The plump mayor, Mr.Hald, was talking to a outlaw.
"So Mr.Boris, my good friend...." he said in a diplomatic manor.
"Why did ya' call me 'ere, tubs?" he asked, already bored of the conversation.
"Well, I think that you may have to move your base out of the town. That sheriff and his new deputy are very...Nosy." he said to the outlaw.
And at that moment, Clucks died something really stupid. He sneezed loudly, and both of them looked at him throw the window.
"Get 'em!" Boris said, and three outlaws came from behind Boris and charged at the door.
With no time to spare, Clucks charged down the stairs, through the front door, and straight to the Sheriff's Office.
"CHARLES! CHARLES!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!!" He shouted, looking around for the Sheriff. He stumbled out of a door and fell to the ground, getting back up and wiping himself off.
"Odd dummit, Clucks, what is it???" Charles said, kind of ticked off.
And so, Clucks told the entire story of the events at the Mayor's House to Charles, and, not at all to Clucks surprise, the Sheriff stood there, mouth agape.
"Well, that's a shocker. Tell you what, Clucks. We'll look into this tomorrow. Why don'cha go home and try to get some sleep, eh?" he said with a friendly smile.
"Of course, of course.." Clucks replied, and left to his house.
