“I know a guy.” LEGO said from where he was leaned up against a tree, putting a fresh edge on some knives he had collected. “He would be able to help us.”
“Awesome, how far?”
“I said I knew a guy. I really wish I knew where he was.” LEGO mused, balancing a knife on his forefinger.
I broke the stick over my knee and threw it into the bush. “We’ll be sitting ducks if we don’t get out of this copse by ten tomorrow.”
“So, let’s sleep on it.” Sogel suggested. “We can always just ride around aimlessly tomorrow.”
“Brilliant.” I muttered, though I had no better solution. I stumped over to the fire and sat down. “What’s in the pot?”
“None of your business.” Grubbs snorted.
“Oh no.” I said.
“I caught and skinned this squirrel all by myself. You can get your own varmint.” He carried on, quite pleased with himself.
“I haven’t time.” I said.
“Maybe you would if you weren’t so busy pretending to be in charge of this operation.” Grubbs stirred the pot, exuding an aura of self-satisfaction.
“Well, nobody else was.” I said, gritting my teeth. This was exactly why Grubbs and I had fallen out in the first place.
“Out of the two of us, I have become the most wanted man of the West, and you’ve…what? Been serving drinks for five years? I doubt you can even say you’ve made more money than me.” He grinned maliciously.
The others were watching the interplay closely, hanging onto every retort. There was blood in the water.
“I should hardly say that being an outlaw is an achievement. Anybody can break the law.”
“Yeah, but it takes grits to break all of them.” Grubbs dished out two bowls of a thin soup, and handed the other to LEGO. “He’s wanted too.” He said, as explanation. LEGO just sat there, staring at the soup, likely more concerned with the proclamation of his status then the watery dish.
“We’re all outlaws now.” I said.
That put a somber pall over the group.
A voice broke into our reverie. “Hey, this need salt.”
We all turned to see an Indian with one hand dipped into the pot, the other in his mouth.
Wow, I dropped the ball on this. Totally forgot I was in the middle of posting my parts.
SORRY LEGO!!!!
That's fine, because for some reason I'm still figuring out how to progress with a part in the next chapter, even after all this time. I'm the one who should be apologizing.

Maybe we should just both be apologizing to our reader(s).

Yes, apologies readers. Don't worry, it'll only be a couple more weeks 'till the next chapter.
