Desert Outlaws

Chapter 5

The pack

There are strangers in the settlement. A young man and a teenage girl. Rachel and Steve. Their parents are dead. Buck found them exhausted and asleep he now knows more about them, and they are about to learn a lot about him. (So are you)

"Well then, Mr.Moeding, we will be going now, if you don't want us here."

" Alright, you can stay for dinner, but tomorrow morning you leave."

"Thank you, Mr.Moeding, I'll cook. You and my brother should get to know eachother."

Buck and Steve went and sat down on the armchairs in the main room. Buck took his pistol from his belt and started to clean and examine it.

"Hey, is that a 1865 Navy Revolver?"

"Yeah, it has a similar design."

"Well, Mr.Moeding, where you from?"

"New Mexico, and please just call me Buck."

"I'm from L.A, in California."

"Where's that?"

"On the west coast, the big city. With Hollywood and skyscrapers."

"Don't know where it is still. You have a job, before, all of this?"

"I was at college, doing a degree in history."

"I never went to school. One boy in my gang taught me how to read and write."

"What do you mean, gang?"

"My gang of Outlaws. We were called Moeding's men. We did a few bank robberies, a few paid massacres. But we were most famous for our assassination of the governor of New Mexico, and the military comander there at the time."

"Uh, I think we should leave. Rachel! Go and pack our things we're leaving!"

"What? Why?"

Steve took Rachel into the corner in the kitchen.

"This guy, is a criminal! He led a gang, of Outlaws. They robbed banks and killed people! We need to leave."

Rachel was froze in shock because of what she had just heard. But then they hear a series of howls come from outside.

"Buck, what. Was. That."

"Wolves! You young, dumb idiot! Here, take this, keep yourself and your sister safe."

Buck hands Steve his pistol and charges out the door with his gun shouldered.

"I'll be back!"

There was a pack of wolves on the hill outside the settlement. Buck was about to shoot one when he saw a person with the wolves. They were hooded, but they had a feminine build. Buck tried to get their attention.

"Hey! Over here!"

The hooded figure started to walk towards the settlement, with her wolf pack following.

"Hey, you got a name?"

The Stranger stood still, only to cry out in pain while clutching her wrist.

"Ah!"

"Are you okay? I have one to, look.

"Well let's see it."

Buck takes off his glove to find his survivor implant on his wrist.

"Seems like you weren't lying. I'm Amy, if you were wondering."

"Oh, my wife was called Amy..."

Thanks for reading Chapter 5 of Desert Outlaws!

This was another lengthy Chapter because of the dialogue. I really appreciate you taking the time to read this. Chapter 6 will be under direwolf again.
