Description
11. I need some money!

The night disappeared and the first rays of the sun touched the desert earth. Near a little town in a shed came loudly snorting. Stump lolled himself in the hay when a sunbeam touched his face. He rolled on the other side and continued his sleep.
Kinski rolled also himself on the side and came closer to Bill. He smiled in his dreams and embraced the big Gila monster. Bill blinked.
"What the hell…"
Bill sat up like a lightning and pushed Kinski away. The rabbit fell dozily down the hay hill.
"Are you out of your mind?!" The Gila monster yelled.
Stump woke up with shock.
"What's happen?" he asked still bleary.
"Ask your perverse brother," Bill mumbled and held his head. "Oh, my skull."
Kinski narrowed his eyes and stood up with moroseness on his face.
"That's really not what you thought," he grunted and cleaned his clothes.
"My head is aching."
"You had drunk too much last night," Kinski said and winked at Stump.
"Tell me that everything was just a dream."
"A dream of what?"
"That damn snake and her."
"You didn't dream."
"Damn!"
Kinski boggled. "Where is…"
Stump looked at him. "Who?"
"Where is Chorizo?"
They looked around. He wasn't there really.
Bill was confused. "Where is that damn guy?"
Kinski shrugged his shoulders wildly. "I don't know."
Quickly Bill left his place and went outside. He moaned when the sun ached his eyes. He rubbed them quickly and tried to orient himself.
The others followed him and looked around. "Where is he?"
"Chorizo!"
"Where are you?!"
"Damn! Show yourself!"
"CHICO!"
"Hey, look, look, over there!" Stump pointed on a little mouse figure behind the saloon.
"That's he!"
They ran forward. Chorizo seemed to be still a little sleepy and stretched his body.
He winced when he saw the others coming and put a smile on his mouth.
"Oh… good morning guys. A good day, isn't it?"
"Where were you?" Bill asked annoyed.
"Where should I have been? Nowhere."
Kinski sniffed. "Do I smell perfume?"
"Uh… no…"
"And what means the cactus flower on your hat?"
The mouse covered the flower with his hand. "That's nothing."
Suddenly the door sprang open and the dance girl ran next to the mouse. When she saw Bill and the two rabbits, she slowed her running steps.
"Oh… goode morning, señores," she greeted.
She paid her attention to Chorizo and pressed a little paper bag in his hands.
Chorizo smiled. "¡Gracias, Ama…! Uh… Señora."
He whispered some Mexican words to her. The squirrel girl chuckled and gave him on the left and on the right cheek a kiss. Then she disappeared into the house.
The others looked at him with open mouths.
Chorizo looked back at them. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Bill growled and came closer. "What did I tell you about women last night?"
"That they are cruel," Chorizo repeated. "And yes, they are." He sighed deeply and grinned wistfully. "What a hot woman."
Bill narrowed his eyes.
"BILL!"
"AHHHHHH!"
Bill screamed with horror after a little figure had jumped into his face and pulled his collar.
"Bill! I need some money!" the little gecko cried.
"Get down from me!" Bill shouted and tried to push the little animal down, but it stuck on him like glue.
"What's his problem?" Stump asked and scratched his head.
"Damn! Get down!" Bill cursed and managed to grab the little gecko.
"I need some money! Immediately!" he yelled before Bill threw him away.
The little gecko stood up quickly.
"Nice little shoes," Chorizo said when he realized that the gecko wore shoes outside.
"Why do you need money?" Kinski asked.
"Because… because…," the gecko stammered. "I just need that."
Kinski grinned. "You gambled your money away again, didn't you?"
"Uhm… no… yes… no… not sure… maybe…"
The gecko was a good spy but he had one weak point. Poker.
"Bill! I tell you everything, but give me some money for my information."
"There is nothing which would interest me."
"Maybe yes, I have everything… Maybe like about Area 102."
"I know everything about that. I worked there long time ago."
"Damn!..." The gecko was silence for a moment. But then, he ran after him again. "Wait! Wait! Wait! You wanted to know something about Rattlesnake Jake…"
"I found him, or almost. And that was enough for me what I saw."
"But, but… there was someone else who asked the same question to me yesterday."
"What question?" Kinski asked.
"The question, where he could be."
Bill snorted. "So what? I give a dirt for that."
"But Bill, it was a bounty hunter…"
"Don't tell me story. Nobody would dare to catch Rattlesnake Jake."
"But maybe yes."
"Do you assume that I'm stupid? You would sell your grandmother."
The gecko blushed and crossed his arms on his back. "I did many years ago."
The others were wide-eyed. "You did?"
"Well, for a good price that she goes to the nuthouse."
Stump tipped his forehead. "What a goddamn world."
"What about my money?" the gecko asked and grabbed Bill's leg.
"Stop your babbling and let me go."
Bill tried to shake off the gecko.
"Sell your stupid information to some other who is stupid enough to believe that."
"But the bounty hunter seemed to be serious. I also told him that it would be crazy but I guess he want to do."
"That's enough!"
Bill grabbed the gecko's tail and managed to get him off from his pants.
"I advise you to leave now, until I have to hit your damn face."
He let him fall and walked away. The Gila monster flicked his tongue and looked around for their roadrunners.
Kinski looked at the little gecko thoughtfully. "And you are really sure?"
"Absolutely!" the gecko confirmed and nodded hastily.
Kinski scratched his chin. "Bill, if he is right, maybe we should take a look at it."
Bill snorted. "Why should we?"
The others exchanged glances. "Do you don't want to know, whether it is true or not?"
"I don't want to know," Bill growled and petted the neck of his roadrunner.
He climbed up and rode away.
"But Bill! Bill! Bill!"
The others ran after him.
"Bill, wait, wait," Kinski cried. "What if he punches Beans instead of you?"
Bill stopped. "This one should never dare! I'm the only one, who has the right to spank her ass."
"But what if he does?"
Bill snorted. "That will never happen, because it is a lie of that pipsqueak."
Kinski crossed his hands behind his head. "But what if not."
"Yes, Bill," Stump admitted. "What if not?"
They stared a while at each other. Then Bill sighed deeply with angry face.
"Alright. But just one little look."
