Before joining Jango, Ian leaned in to kiss his wife, and felt her slide what he knew was a bag of tobacco that would buy more for their family than a month of their combined wages. One of those cigarettes would buy thrice-over the food on the tray.

“Give it back to him, Ian. It’s too much.” His wife whispered as he pulled away from their kiss.

He opened his mouth to argue, but snapped it shut when he saw the set of her jaw. He knew better than to argue when she looked that way, so he groaned, “Fiiiine.” He walked over to the table, sat down, and slid the bag of tobacco over to Jango, using his body and hand to shield it from view. “We can’t accept this, it’s way too much.”

Looking at the bag of tobacco, Jango estimated that the meal had cost him less than a quarter of one cigarette. He filed the information away for later trading, and said, “Look, no offense, but I want you to take it, and I want you to know that you owe me.”

Seeing a look of offended consternation on the bespectacled man’s freckled face, Jango added, “You don’t owe me goods, or an hour with your wife; you owe me. Like loyalty. You dig? My Sis, Vanessa, she said someone tried to kill her, and that she has enemies. So, she needs friends, and I need information and eyes. I ain’t giving you anything. I am trading.” He slid the bag back over to the silent man, who looked around, nodded, and then slid it into an inside pocket of his uniform.

They ate in silence after that. Jango packed away several pounds of meat, almost all of the potatoes, and the entire loaf of bread.

Ian ended up just watching in fascination as the average-sized man ate enough food to feed ten or more people.

When all of the food was gone, Jango leaned back, and noticed Ian staring at him. “Man, all I have eaten in the last year is beef jerky. I hadn’t even thought about it until now. This food is so good. I guess I was just in survival mode, and I was just eating to live. This was so good.”

Straightening up, he said, “You know what? I want to finish getting armed. I am getting fidgety for some reason. You ready to move?” He asked.

Nodding, Ian said, “Yes, yeah. Let’s go.” He waved to his wife, and decided that he would explain about the tobacco and the man’s requests later.
