A young crew member pulls up to the Tombstone in a beaten Hummer . The license plate is damaged by acid rain but can still be read , SRH HMV26 .
The young trucker is named Jack Burton and is new to Texan . He walks up to the antique bar and orders a 'Round of Drinks' for the tavern . Jack follows up with the clarifier " Top shelf whiskey and tequila around" . His first toast is to the townspeople of Texan ! "I'm newly arrived to the settlement and you folks have made me feel most welcome." Jack downs the honey-colored alcohol , grimaces then smiles. He is a youthful 18 years old . He quickly orders another one . "Here's to the success I had on my first scouting mission !" He raises his rocks glass to the cheers of the Tombstone patrons. "We searched to the south , led by the veterans from the Mountain Goats crew and the Rusted Hearts!". He holds the glass high as he speaks . " I lucked out and drove a mortar truck ," he laughs and then drinks the shot down . " The veterans discovered a cache of vehicles ! We found almost a dozen rigs : one was in a storage shed , some were under tarps, and some under sand. Most were damaged by the elements , still salvageable. " Jack walks to the doors and holds them open to show a beat-down grey Buzzer , " This beauty still had the keys and a tank full of fuel ! She wasn't even the rarest find, but she's shiny! " " Let's celebrate ! " |

Nikki Meraz, local leader of the Mountain Goats, sat down next to the young trucker with a wry grin.
“That wasn’t just any scout. That was the fabled camp of the Seaside Retirement Home. Guess they’re all retired now. I know that camp looked abandoned, and kinda stank like an old boot, but that dump used to control the whole Sarsfield area.” She took a long swig off her Texan ale. “Yep, that gang sure likes to chirp, but they ain’t much at fightin’. All hat, and no cattle.” |
