CHIHUAHUA

Pershing was in his office when he received the text message. He’d been studying a map of the area and planning how he was going to push the last of the farmers off their land. When his phone had buzzed he thumbed a response, grabbed his hat and gun belt, and walked over to the equipment shelter. He found two of the Black Jackets leaning against a bench, one smoking a cigarette.

“Hey, pal, what have I told you about smoking in here?” The man stared blankly.

“Stub it out and find me Burro,” Pershing snarled. He swore that most of these men had the intellectual capacity of a donkey. Grabbing hold of the roll-cage of one of the dune buggies, he slid into the passenger seat. He powered up the ROVER screen and inputted the frequency for the Predator drone. It took a few seconds before the full-motion video image appeared on the screen. Sure enough, there were three people on horseback riding away from the mine.

“You wanted me, Mr. Pershing?” said Burro.

Pershing gestured to the driver’s seat of the buggy. “Get in, son.” He adjusted the ROVER’s screen so it displayed a map as well as a smaller view of what the camera was seeing.

Burro slid into the driver’s seat. Pershing pointed at the map. “We’ve got some guests heading toward the old gold mine. I want you to take a couple of buggies out there and bring them in. Think you can handle that?”

Burro jabbed his finger at the screen. “We can use the old farm track and cut them off before the canyon.”

At least this one had half a brain, he thought as he hauled himself out of the buggy.

Burro was already issuing orders before Pershing left the shed. As he crossed the road, V8 engines burbled to life. He watched as the off-road vehicles roared out of camp, heading toward the front gate and security post. He was about to return to his office when he changed his mind and walked across to his Chevy. Lifting the trunk, he turned on the espresso machine. It was a little late for caffeine but he had an inkling he was not going to be sleeping anytime soon.
