Fired before Hired
"So! Alister wiped his hands on his pants,
Something wild in his eyes,
Anyone else?
Speak now or shut up!"
On his shoulder a light touch.
"Pal don't-!" warned him Stray Dog
After he had recovered from his shock.
" Fists down!
Once again, and they'll hunt us out of town!
How on earth should we get to work,
If you send men so fast flying into dirt?
Not that I'd understand, but...
Better prepare yourself for his revenge.
That guy, Cole Bone, already holds a
grudge...
Do you want to spend weeks
- a month!-
With crutch?"
Stray Dog checked the room;
Something ran over his boot.
He jumped back.
End of his fit.
" Come, to pay a visit, there's a place...
Bitchin' Ditch, wasn't it?"
"All mines around has been abandoned,
Alister said with a shrug, ask 3Gun,
In the North, no luck."
"And along Winding Creek?"
"Am I looking like a geek?!"
"Well...you're the boss, be glad.
Everything shall be as you command.
If I was you, you were long fired
before I had you hired.
Alister rolled his eyes.
"So bad?
Outside I just him led."
