"The kind of Kidnapper that doesn't plan on knowing the person he kidnapped past the required job time" Looking towards the girl as he spoke before scooting himself down on the rock so he could lay against it somewhat. He wasn't stupid, he knew where the girl lived and who she was thanks to the note, what he hadn't counted on was that the note had left out the "minor" detail of the girls gang, which could prove to be a bit of a pain in the ass for him later on if he wasn't careful. Truly the only reason he tied to rope to the girl was so he'd know if she'd get a head start, hell any dumb ass could escape the rope tied around their ankle, it wasn't like she would get far from him now that he had his attention set on her.
He was the stereotypical wasteland cowboy, all he was missing was the hat and the little shiny metal star to pin to his chest. The occasional howl of the wind and lonesome sound of a far off coyote was the only sound around them other then the crackling of the fire. The only real thing he worried about was the fact the girl was dressed in her pajamas, it would of been obvious as hell if he walked into one of the towns with her like that...and there was nothing stopping her from screaming "HELP" as soon as they got into town, it wasn't like he could make the trip in one full setting, no he needed supplies, not only for himself, but he needed to keep this girl alive now if he wanted the rest of his payday to come in. "I'm kinda surprised your friends haven't come lookin' for you ye-"
And almost right on cue, the sound of a loud bang could be heard off in the distance...followed by the whizzing of a bullet planting itself in the ground next to the campfire. He reacted quickly, without warning grabbing the girl and picking her up with almost relative ease, and moving to cover. It was faster then it would have been if he'd simply of ran to cover and had to drag the girl along with him. He couldn't see much in the dark, so he couldn't tell where the shots were coming from, only the occasional whizzing sound of a bullet landing near them told him they were still being fired at. He growled lightly under his breathe, rolling onto his back and glancing up over the rock somewhat "I take that back"
