It was Burt`s turn on gate guard duty and he hated it. Cars go out, cars come in. Cars go out, cars come in. Whoop-de-friggin-do! He was just pulling another swig on the bottle of Firelight Special Brew nobody had ever dared ask what was in it when he heard one of the damn croaky lizard things...well..croaking in the bushes nearby. Completely bored and more than a little drunk, he un-shouldered his rifle and stalked out after the critter, shouting back over his shoulder to his partner: `Back in a minute, gunna get me one of them thar lizard things. They make decent eatin and that skin makes the best boots I ever seen.` Silently he edged around a dune and eased over to where he could get a decent shot. `Ahh !`, he whined `it`s just some poor dyin` fool.` He flicked the safety back into place and hurried over to the half-dead figure, pulling out his water bottle. The poor sod had shrapnel wounds in more than a dozen places, a couple of bullet wounds and was missing his left leg below the knee. It also looked like something had been ...chewin`...on him. `Rough day bud?`, he asked. John `Johnny` Johnson opened the one eye not glued shut with his blood and croaked: `You shoulda seen the other guy!` `Really? If he looks worse than you dude I`d love to.` `Naw`, gasped Johnny `just yankin` yer chain, his guys were fine dammit. Did manage to blow one of his BPUs to smithereens but that was about all.` Burt passed him another sip of water and asked, `Who was it? Butane, Firelight Manhunters?` Johnny looked up at him slightly dazed, `No, no it was one of the gangs from town. Highway Hellraisers?` `Hellriders`, Burt corrected him `They sure have a mean streak, been around a long time and pack some real fancy gear.` Johnny nodded stiffly. `We`re new to town, hell it was just our second trip out after gettin` here. Sure as hell had us outgunned. A couple of BPUs AND a damned Buzzer, all packin` car cannons and crews that could shoot the eye out of a gnat at half a mile. Gunna have to get us some ofthat fancy hardware if we stayin` round here I figger. We didn`t stand much of a chance, though we gave it a go. If only we`d stuck together then maybe the V.I.N.D.I.C.A.T.O.R.S. paint rifles might have tipped the odds in our favour. Ifs and buts are worth a kick in the nuts as my old da used to say.` Burt nodded and yelled to his partner to grab some bandages and get a stretcher while he did what he could to make Johnny slightly more comfortable. Johnny grinned at him, a gruesome sight he`d not wish on his worst enemy...well no that wasn`t true...he`s wished a LOT worse on them..but hey, it still wasn`t pleasant. `Something else my old da used to tell me. He said,`Son, if you ever get in a fight it doesn`t matter if you win or lose, just try and hurt the other fecker so bad that he`ll think twice about it in the future. ` Now we might not have hurt them bad but they sure didn`t make any profit out of us. Peachy and Lucky woulda wanted it that way too. ` We may have crap for gear but we look after it and know how to use it and every one of our gangers will go down with his ship. ` If there`s only a single bullet left in the breech and they`re threatening us with a damned Buzzer....every one of us will fire that last bullet and see them in hell.` Burt looked up as the stretcher arrived. `Ernie, I think this one may just make it, he`s meaner than a damn rattler!` `You reckon Burt? He don`t look much more than mince to me.` They both looked round startled as Johnny started to wheeze and gasp. `Is he dyin` Burt? `Naw, I think he`s...laughin` Ernie!` Johhny looked up at them.. `Burt and Ernie....seriously? I crawl out of the wasteland, full of metal, leaving half my blood in the sand. I dragged the leg they blew off with me and used it as bait to decoy the wolves long enough to shoot em. Only to end up rescued by Burt and Ernie? `Just shoot me now....please!` Burt and Ernie stared at each other and shrugged before rolling Johnny onto the stretcher and carrying him through the gates.
