Crouching next to the body, his knees shooting tiny electric jolts of pain thorough the joints, Doc Shoup touched the dead man’s neck. “Ayuh, he’s dead all right.”

“Of course he is, Doc. I put a bullet in his brainpan.”

“Don’t be sassy, girl. I’m just doin’ my job.”

Doc groaned as he stood up to lean on the counter, take some of the weight off his aching knees and ankle.

Filler stood next to Marian, arms crossed, a scowl darkening his face. “So, this Mitchell fella,” he said as he tapped at the body with a worn boot, “you say he’s got men, and they’ll come lookin’ for him, that right?”

Marian struggled to think through the throbbing in her skull. “Yes, men, eleven of them last I knew.”

“Anything you can tell us about them?” Bibi asked.

“They’re all bastards, each and every one,” Marian said. “Mitchell was the worst of them, which is why they took to following him. They would rob, kill, just wander around, you know?”

“Gypos? You serious, girl?”

Marian, a.k.a. “Lindy” looked up at Filler. “Yeah, I’m serious. They’ve been at it quite a while; very good at it, you know?”

Gypos were marauding bands moving from settlement to settlement, taking over and using up everything in sight, murdering and raping, moving on when nothing was left. They were considered to be just a step below Sores, and most shot them on sight, if they got the chance.

“Son-of-a… what the hell did you bring here, girl!”

“Now, just a damn minute Filler!” Bibi said. She wasn’t about to let someone come down on one of her girls for something she had no control over, especially if that someone was Filler. “It’s not her fault she escaped a psycho and came here. We’re just gonna have to handle it.”

Several others standing around were already muttering among themselves, discussing what had to be done to protect Junction.

“Well good-gawd-damn, ok then.” Filler said, looking at Bibi. “Tell you what, Janet; get every able body to my place in an hour for a little meetin’. We got to figure out some way to take these shit-bags out, if they get in here and take over we’re all done for.”

“We’ve dealt with worse, Filler,” Doc Shoup said.

“Don’t I know it, but we’re a man down with Laidlaw dead, and he was one of our best distance shooters. Fuck that Corey, I’ll toss his screamin’ ass into the burn-pit myself if he’s dumb enough to come back here!” Filler turned and stomped for the door. “Get everyone to my place, Janet,” he tossed over his shoulder before throwing the door open and stepping out.

Janet suspended normal business, sending her girls out to let everyone know that a meeting was happening at Filler’s in a hurry. She kept her shotgun with her, and the last few shells she stowed in a pocket.

Peering at Marian, she said, “We’re in for some shit, aren’t we?”

Marian nodded, tears leaking from beneath closed eyelids. “Yeah, we are. It’s been a while, maybe almost a year, since I ran away.
