As soon as the guards bring their weapons to bear on Last and the 'Zons, I start laying down fire from the AK at those guards to hopefully give Last and the girls an advantage.
I climb into swagman, and take a stance standing up in the seat with my torso protruding up through the roll cage. Looking down at Mimi, "Let me have that AK." I drop the MAC-10 SMG into her lap as I take Tusk's combat automatic rifle from her. "Wai…
OOC: Lala move -- Whenever you roll to Read a Sitch or Read a Person and give her another hold, you can ask another question more than the move allows.
You spot a gap in their coverage. Take +1 Forward getting inside.
Before Chaz died, I barely spent any barter. But now there's Megahol and food for two, ammo for a growing arsenal. I spent my last barter, all that scrounge from the sandsnake assault at the Junkyard, on bullets, food, water, and gas -- just to get …
"Yeah, Motley, about that... more later, but, you know I'm stockpilin' an arsenal, right? Ziggy's fifty. UF'ers mortar. Some full autos." I place my MAC-10 on the table and motion at Mimi's AK. "And I intend to scrounge more when we hit Foster and …
I lean into the table and push Motley's gun across the table back to him and look over at Cinch and back to Motley, "Listen, I'm in debt to the both of you, and a few beers is just a start for me showin' my appreciatin'.
Motley, thanks for taking …
"There seems to some confusion. Last said something similar this morning. Maybe it's the way you gangbangers think about things. There ain't nothing about Mimi that belongs to me. I ain't her daddy, mama, master, or alpha. She's breaking free, just…
"Yeah, sure, Mot. I think it's a good idea to clear the air with Mimi. We came to an understanding this morning with Last and the 'Zons when they rode up to the Junkyard, and it was a relief when I didn't have to end up unloading this MAC-10 into Kr…
Worse than I thought, as I eye Motley's instincts wanting to go straight for his heater. Damn this girl... she is truly hated by damn near everyone... "Smooth? Fek no. I'll fill ya in over a beer, but the short story is I've got the UF after my arse…
Talking to Mimi back over my shoulder, "Yeah, I kinda already figgered as much. Thankfully, Motley has one of the cooler heads among all the gang bangers."
I see both Motley and Cinch up ahead. Mimi's already pissed off Cinch once, so hopefully we'…
I nod agreement at everything Fleece and Mimi are sayin'. Sounds like Esco's got a contact, and I've got the jingle. I can leave the barter with you, then, Esco.
I guess me and Mimi are gonna help Last and the 'Zons with a thing, and then we'll cir…
"Esco, I don't have words that says how much I appreciate your help. That's why you ain't never gonna be left holding a pile of shite. You care 'bout folk that don't normally get that. All that comes back to roost.
I got that set of yours in swagm…
I pick up on what Esco is gettin' at. "Don't worry, Esco, I don't think we gonna be here long. We're riding with the 'Zons and we just came to collect Motley and his Crue, and then we'll be heading out. Everything back to normal.
How much jingle it…
I let out a long sigh, feeling like I've hit a wall on the help I can get for Mimi. Gonna have to talk to June again about Parcher, and come to some decision about his future plans.
"I'm just a junkman, Fleece, so I'm sure I'm not following... but if Parcher put them leads in, couldn't he take 'em out? Especially with his arsehole wrapped around the barrel of Mr. Twelve Gauge over there?"
"Hey, stop talking about Mimi that way, Esco," I say jokingly as I shoot a glance towards Mimi, big smile hidden behind my mask, and let out a growling Horshack laugh.
"Yeah, I threw down on 'em, Esco. Mimi, here, is ex-UF now. And they're huntin' her like a dog, and I was tryin' to get her outta The Depot, to safety. But those fuggers parked their truck right next to swagman, and I knew they wouldn't let her leav…
Fleece has a old Rubbermaid plastic bin next to the door, and I start unpacking. "Sure thing, Fleece. You drop your weapons in there, Mimi," I say pointing at the bin. I unclip the 8 lb steel wrench from my belt and drop it into the bin, along with…
"Fleece? Ah good, you're on call. It's Gigg. I got shot. Again. I need ya to take a look at it... and... I got a friend too I'd like ya to take a look at and get your doctoring opinion on. Can we come in?"
"Regret this? We will help you get your girls back, Last. Count it. But, you gotta already know the two of us are blazin' crazy, right? How ya think that's gonna go for ya? Chaz used to call it Runnin' with the Devil." I turn around and squeeze th…
Krin is the key here... and Last is between a rock and a hard place between having Krin's back and needing my help freeing the rest of her girls. Then, the exchange between and Last and Mimi happens, and my eyes jump straight to Krin, watching her a…
