Question
Answer the following question briefly.
Why did Michael fail in rescuing Sebastian Shultz the first time?
Solution
Michael failed to rescue Sebastian Shultz the first time because the second Sheriff appeared waving his arms shouting ‘don’t go out’. He was about Michael’s age though he looked like a computer image, but didn’t move like one. He told Michael to follow him. They raced down a corridor and ran, passed some men, but they ended up back in the saloon. The second Sheriff jumped on a horse and they both sped off at that moment.
The gun shot echoed and the second Sheriff (Sebastian Shultz) groaned and slumped back.
