"Where's Tim and Adam? Have they already left?" Chris asks as they all gather in the lobby of the hotel.

"Probably so." Avi answers. "This is like old times for Tim. I'm sure he's missed performing."

"I feel like I'm going to a concert with different artists performing." Olena giggles as she takes Austin by the hand.

They walk out on the porch of the hotel, clearly hearing piano playing coming from the saloon.

"I guess our mayor is anxious to get started." Rob laughs as they walk across the dusty street.

Tim looks up and smiles as they all walk into the bar but continues to play. Adam was sitting at the piano with him.

"PARTY TIME Y'ALL!" Austin shouts as he begins dancing across the floor to the music. 

One by one, everyone joins Austin on the dance floor. Chance hurries over and picks up the guitar and begins playing along with Tim.

Tim leans back and whispers something to Chance and he nods as he follows Tim into the first song.

Adam gets up and begins to dance with Jenika so she wouldn't be left as the wallflower. As Tim finishes his song, everyone claps and cheers.

"My turn! My turn!" Avi says as he runs up and takes the guitar from Chance. 

As Avi begins, no one is really dancing with partners. They're all moving to the music and clapping along.

"Thank ya. Thank ya very much." Avi laughs as he does his best Elvis impersonation.

"This would be more of a party if we had some alcohol to drink." Chance laughs.

"We could always pretend we're drinking. There are glasses behind the bar." Jenika giggles.

"I don't think imaginary booze has the same effect as the real stuff." Nate laughs.

"You would think that if there's going to be a saloon here complete with bar and even glasses that there would be alcohol somewhere." Tim says with a shrug.

"But can spirits get drunk?" Adam asks.

"I don't know but I'd sure like to find out." Austin laughs.

"Who's going to sing next? We need to keep the music going to drown out those freaking demon dogs outside." Rob says.

"I'll sing." Chris says as he walks to the makeshift stage. "I'm going to slow things down just a bit."

As Chris begins to sing some of the couples move to the dance floor and begins to waltz. Some really good at it, some not so much.

Tim and Adam discover that they waltz very well together as they dance across the floor staring into each other's eyes. The other couples back away, giving the dance floor to the mayor and his mate.

Others got up to sing. Chance, Austin, Nate, Rob and Jenika all taking their turn. They had group songs where they would all join in to sing. 

"Blame it all on my roots. I showed up in boots." Tim begins singing as he drapes an arm over Adam's shoulder. "And ruined your black tie affair."

During the chorus, the whole group would join in. All singing as loud as they could.

Right in the middle of the song, during one of the choruses, Tim holds up his hand to silence everyone.

"What's wrong?" Adam asks.

"Uh, I forgot to tell you." Rob says to Adam. "Not only do we call him Mayor but also Radar. You know from M*A*S*H? He hears things before the rest of us does."

"Shhh, listen." Tim says in almost a whisper. "I hear screaming."

"What!" Austin says loudly, as they all jump up from the table.

Tim is already headed for the door. He opens the door and looks out.

"OH! SH*T!" Tim yells as he sees several people running in different directions.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" Chance shouts as he looks out. 

"Why are they so many?" Avi asks.

"I don't know." Tim says, shaking his head. He then notices a couple running toward them as fast as they could. 

The demons were chasing the other people and the couple had not yet been spotted breaking away from the crowd.

The guy was tall with a beard and black hair that was tied back. The girl was short with dark curly hair.

"They're going to make it." Chris says with a slight smile.

No sooner than the words were out of his mouth, the girl falls.

"DARRELL, HELP ME!" The girl screams out.

The guy, known as Darrell, stops running and looks around to see his friend on the ground. He looks back at the people in the doorway that were shouting for them to hurry. He then looks back at the creatures that were dragging the other people into the ground. He turns and runs back to the girl.

"F*ck!" Tim growls. He turns and grabs Chance and Chris by their arm. "Do not and I repeat DO NOT let anyone leave this building! UNDERSTAND!? Or you will have to answer to me if I make it."

They nod with fear in their eyes. They both knew what Tim was planning on doing.

"Tim?" Adam calls him only to receive a quick kiss from his lover. Tim turns and runs out to help the couple. "TIM! NOOO!!"

Chance grabs Adam to keep him from running out.

"IS HE NUTS??!! HE'LL NEVER MAKE IT!!" Austin yells.

Tim runs over and stoops down to assist Darrell in helping his friend up from the ground. He didn't know if the couple knew just how much danger they were in.

"We need to go!" Tim yells at them. The three freeze and slowly look around as they hear a growl getting closer. They had been spotted by one of the demon dogs. "LIKE NOW!!!"

The two men jerk the girl up from the ground like a ragdoll. 

"HURRY, GUYS!! HURRY!!" Avi yells from the doorway. "IT'S GAINING ON YOU!!!"

The trio run upon the porch and the guys practically throw the young girl inside. Chance catches her and pulls her away from the door. Tim pushes Darrell inside before running in. Chris slams the door with the demon just inches away. For the first time, they had all seen what these creatures look like. 

"YOU ASSHOLE!" Adam yells as he grabs Tim into his arms.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPEN AND WHAT ARE THOSE UGLY MOTHER F*CKERS!!??" Darrell yells in fear as he points at the door.

"Welcome to Dead Town. I'm Tim." Tim says as he extends his hand. His other arm still holding tightly to his lover.
