Summary: Three of the worst bank robbers in the history of bank robbing walk into a bank, and it goes about as smoothly as you would expect. The good news is that it shouldn’t been too hard to rescue the hostages. The bad news is that the hostages might not all make it until help comes.

Part 2
Part 1
The Marshals office was one often visited by many of Harlan county’s residents. Said visitors being criminals and or fugitives. But this visit wasn’t one of business or Justice. You walked out of the elevator, through the door to the Marshal’s office and scanned the main room for the familiar hat. You saw Raylan talking to an older man in the office across from you. The scolding he was getting perfectly clear through the glass walls. Not wanting to interrupt the more than likely justified tongue lashing, you look for the Givens desk marker. Seeing that it was around 5 o'clock not many were in the office to stop you from plopping yourself into Raylan’s chair, and those who were seemed too absorbed in their work to notice. Propping your feet on his desk you spent about 15 minutes playing temple run on your phone until you heard the door open and the previously muffled voices became crisp.
“ No Art, for the last time, I don’t seek out people to kill. It ain’t my fault they try to shoot me.”
You see the older man, presumably “Art”, follow Raylan out of the door.
“ But ya sure provoke em till they do pull on you. Lucky for me I have a lot more patience than the men you shoot or else the last thing I see will be the barrel of your gun like the rest of them. ” Art smirks.
Raylan turns to Art, “ Aw don’t feel too left out, you do make me put my guns on safety in the office for a reason.”
You watch the conversation with an amused glint in your eye. Raylan had not changed a bit in the few years since you actually saw him. The same smart ass sarcasm that got him beat by Arlo. He was a little thinner than you remember but that’s how age works you guessed. You were younger than him, being born when he was 10 gave you guys a good gap relationship wise, but it balanced how close you became in opposing your dear old daddy.
Raylan turned to walk to his desk as a man and a woman walked through the doors. He paused, eyes wide.
“ Bring your lover to work day, Raylan? Isn’t she a bit young.” The woman chirped as she passed behind him. The man simply quirked his eyebrow at you in curiosity and followed her into the room next to Art’s office.
Eyes still glued to you, Raylan yelled,
“She’s my baby sister!”
Raylan continued to look at you in utter disbelief.
“ Wow Raylan, is that the proper way to greet your sister after 6 years?” You drawled as you got up from the chair. He blinked, blinked again, and pulled you into a not very Raylan like hug.
The Givens weren’t ones for physical affection as it turns out, You know with all the hittin there wasn’t much time for huggin.
You hugged him briefly then pushed away.
“ It’s good to see you too, you alright?”
Raylan stared at you for a little longer with his hands on your shoulders.
“What are you doing here? And why...” He sounded like he wanted to say more, but the door to what you thought could be some sort of conference room opened and Art plus the man and woman approached the both of you.
You shook off Raylan’s hands and offered your own to Art, “ Art, I believe? I’m y/n Givens.”
Art took your hand and shook it once, “ It’s a pleasure to meet one of Raylan’s family members that looks to be a kind upstanding citizen. Although he never mentioned a sister.”. He released your hand and looked at Raylan expectantly.
Raylan looked at you then the three marshals,“ Well this is my baby sister, who I haven’t seen in a while… and who I didn’t know was in town I suppose.” Raylan waited for you to elaborate.
You glanced away from him as you explained, “ I’ve been in Virginia finishing up my Masters Degree, but I got a call from our Aunt sayin Raylan was back in town and thought I’d come back before he killed our daddy so I took a semester off."
“ Yeah we met Arlo”, the woman said. “ Oh by the way, I’m Raylan’s coworker, Rachel. And this hear”, she gestures at the blonde man standing next to her, “ is Tim.”
“ Both Marshals as well?” you asked, shaking Rachel’s outstretched hand.
“ Yes Ma’am”, Tim drawled, uncrossing his arms to shake your hand as well.
Tim, you noticed, had not taken his eyes off of you this entire time unlike Rachel and Art who had looked at you and Raylan throughout the conversation. He was much quieter than the other marshals.
You shook his hand, “ Nice to meet you, Tim!”
His mouth tilted into a smirk and he nodded his head in a greeting.
“ Sorry about the comment earlier.” Rachel sighed, “ I’m just not used to seeing Raylan with a woman that he isn’t sleeping with.”
You made a face at that, “ Yeah, I don’t blame you, he’s a bit of a whore.”
At that Raylan smacked you in the back of the head and you cringed. He never liked you commenting on his “love life” or whatever it was.
You turned to Raylan, “ That reminds me, I saw Winona when I walked in…” You trailed off waiting for Raylan to say anything.
Instead all he said was “ Yup”, turned and grabbed his keys of his desk.
“Well I was on my way to go visit Boyd on a new case I’m on,” he looked at you, “ you need a ride back?”
You nodded at Raylan and looked at his coworkers, “ It was a pleasure to meet you all, but I guess we are heading out.”
You followed your brother out the door as you waved to them. Art and Rachel waved back, and Tim nodded again.
…
You walked out to Raylan's town car with him and hopped in the passengers seat. He slammed the door and looked at you as he got in.
“ I don’t see you for 6 years, and you just show up at my JOB!?”
You gave him a deadpan stare, “ yes Raylan, thank you for recounting the past 20 minutes, your observation skills astound me.”
“Why are you here?” Raylan continued.
“I don’t understand why you are so upset, you're the one who didn't tell me that you were being transferred here of all places.”
Raylan looked a little defeated. “ I just didn’t want you to feel like you had to come back , just cause I was here.”
“ I don’t need you to protect me, and I didn’t actually come back because you were back. Aunt Helene called and said she needed some help with Arlo, something about his meds. She just happened to tell me you were here last night. Asked me if I had seen you yet. A bit of a surprise since I thought you were still in Miami.” Your tone of voice softened as you spoke, “ It really doesn't matter Raylan, I’m glad you're okay, and we can catch up since I’ll be in town a while. Now why don’t you take me to my hotel room.”
...
It turns out you and Raylan were staying in the same motel at the moment. The main reason you probably haven't seen each other in the week you had been here was your constant rides back and forth to Harlan at odd hours or whenever Helen called.
Raylan parked the car and you got out, “ welp, I guess I’ll see you soon Raylan.” You yawned and walked to your room on the other side of the building. He waved goodnight and drove off in the direction of Harlan and presumably Boyd.
