Until Varcolac heard the report of a machine gun coming from the jungle, he’d never doubted his Cubans would grab the female and whoever had come to her rescue. Along with higher wages and the protection of a powerful galactic criminal organization, membership in the Brotherhood also brought with it certain responsibilities, like chasing down and punishing gamblers who couldn’t cover their bets. Nor were exceptions made if those gamblers had friends with big guns. But Varcolac roared in frustration when he heard the truck’s engine revving, still out of sight behind the dense wall of greenery. Damn the Cubans! Apparently, 40 of them weren’t enough to take out one female and her saviors.

“Bring up the RPGs!” he told one of the other Besquith, who relayed the order via radio. “Dinteascutit, they’re coming back; have you blocked the road yet?”

“Almost.”

Was everybody incompetent?

The Besquith race had developed on their home planet of Bestald as apex predators who relied on speed, claws, and teeth, as well as size and brute strength. Without hesitation, Varcolac now raced toward the road some 200 yards to the north, followed by the other two Besquith. Once close enough to make out details, he saw the Cubans struggling to push something onto the road. That was the moment the truck came into view to his right, and for some reason, stopped at the tree line.

The only obstacle close enough to block the road quickly was a wrecked, two-wheel trailer with an iron lattice bed. Both tires had long since rotted away, and corrosion had left the frame cracked in several places. It should slow the vehicle long enough for his men to riddle it, but it was only halfway onto the road when the truck lurched forward again, speeding toward them.
