      “All right,” he said. “So we know blowing their brains out drops them. So does cutting the spinal cord, at least in the neck. Shooting them anywhere else is pretty much a waste, unless it gets them to back off long enough to get in a head shot. Or bash their skulls in.”

      “Cutting off their arms and legs should do it, too,” Mildred said. “Eliminate them as threats, anyway.”

      “Long as you’re careful not to get close enough they can bite you,” Dix said.

      “Always the charmer, John,” Mildred said. He flashed her a grin.

      For a while they squatted, or in Ryan’s case stood, in silence, listening to the wind boom and sigh across the plains.

      “I feel kinda bad we lost the body we were supposed to be guarding,” Mildred said. “Plunkett did pay us up front to protect him and his people.”

      “It happens,” Ryan said. “Not even the first time it happened to us.”

      “We could never be accused of failing to do everything within our power to carry out our charge,” Doc said. “These were circumstances as unforeseeable as they were beyond our control.”

      “Boss Plunkett,” Jak said. He spit, carefully aiming downwind of himself and his companions. “Was dick.”

      Mildred shrugged. “And there you have it.”

      J.B. rubbed the stubble on his chin. “So what now, Ryan?”

      “Continue on to Sweetwater Junction, I reckon. We got some jack and supplies from Plunkett up front, but we burned a triple-lot of ammo getting away. Mebbe we can buy more there.”

      “And water,” J.B. said. “That ammo will command some serious jack, though.”

      “Right.” Though it lay in the midst of some of the worst, most desolate Deathlands, the ville of Sweetwater Junction was relatively large and prosperous, owing to its location on a trade crossroad, as well as the aquifer that gave it its name. “Our canteens’ll be dry as neutron bones by the time we get there. Mebbe we can even find work for a while, stock up.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
