Description RANGO \\ OӘͶAЯ - Another outlaw story
Chapter 32






Hello, sorry for the break. This week I will upload two chaptes. Well, enjoy it.


32. Not okay


"That's okay, Mister Jake."
Mayor John rubbed his tired old eyes.
He was sitting in his wheelchair and stood in the corridor of the town hall. Jake nodded at Coral, who stood behind him.
"Alright, you can sleep in my room. I will place myself in the sideroom."
"Please, don't put yourself to any bother on my account."
"It's no trouble at all," Mayor John meant yawningly and rolled back into his own room.
Meanwhile Jake slithered with the newcomers to the erstwhile lounge. After reaching, he smoothed the blanket down on the sofa and shook out some pillows.
Coral and Priscilla watched him silently.
When he was finish, he placed beside them.
"Sit down."
"Is that really okay for you?" she asked.
"It would be not okay for me if you sleep on the floor."
She nodded and coiled herself on the sofa. The African mouse came closer and lay herself in the middle of her coils. Jake eyed her bright color. In the dark room she looked like a soft ghost. After all of her long body found its place, the darker rattlesnake was going to leave the room.
"Well, good night. If you need something call me."
He turned around.
"It wasn't necessary."
He looked at her. "Why this?"
"You wouldn't have problems if you hadn't taken us out."
"I had to do it."
"Why?"
"I hate men who strike a woman."
She lowered her glance. He crawled forward and lifted her chin with his gun.
"They will not take you," he whispered.
"I'm afraid they will come."
"I will watch the house."
"But how long? How shall it go on?"
"I think we shall sleep. Tomorrow things will look different."
She sighed. "Alright. In this case, I wish you a good night."
"Same to you."
His glance wandered at the aye-aye animal. "And for you."
"Night," an answer muttered.
Slowly the rattlesnake left the room. He closed the door and slithered down the corridor. Suddenly he stopped. There were footsteps on the stairs. He listened. He didn't turn around. He waited until the foot stopped on the last steps of the stairway.
He sighed and turned around. The Gila monster looked at him, and it wasn't a greeting.
They looked at each other. Nobody said one word, but they knew the reason. And Bill spoke it up immediately.
"Well, you could take a girlfriend but not for me, didn't you?"
Jake narrowed his eyes. "She isn't my girlfriend."
"What else?"
"She was in danger."
"All of them are in danger. But why her?"
"If you think I'm unfair because of your female friend, her dad hadn't threatened her. But he had shot you down."
He watched how the nails of the lizard dug in the banister. "And!? If we had "kidnapped" Rice, we wouldn't have many troubles, but with them, we have more problems than before!"
The rattlesnake lowered its glance, his hat covered his eyes complete.
"It's late."
The Gila monster narrowed its eyes and nodded bitterly. "Yes, it's late."
He turned around and walked upstairs. The rattlesnake didn't follow him with its eyes, he kept his glance down. He only heard how the footsteps got quieter until a closing door finished the walk.
Silence felt.
The snake sheriff listened to his own breath. Then he slithered to the town hall door without knowing how the door of Mayor John was closed slowly.
On the street the rattlesnake let wander its glance. The stars shined brightly. No one was there, up to Gordy, who lay in the dried water through. Their eyes met. The turkey lifted his finger. "Calamity."
He hiccupped and fell asleep.
The rattlesnake narrowed its eyes and looked around. He didn't see it but he felt a storm was coming.
