So, here the next chapter.

8. You are really a bitch!

"Bill?" Chorizo asked. "Are you looking a little angry?"
Bill slapped the spyglass on the stony ground so that one glass got a crack.
"That damn slut!"

Beans followed Jake with her eyes until he disappeared. Then she turned around and went into the cave. She wiped over her mouth. For sure. It wasn't being horrible, but she felt like a betrayer. She had signalled Jake, that she would never enjoy his affectionateness. But how long could she try to withstand him? One day, maybe in years, what will be?
She closed her hands around her medallion. No one, even not Jake, knew that she hid something inside of it. Since she had found out that she could hide little things in her medallion, she used it for a special place, which she had taken with her when she had to leave her home. She opened the medallion and a paper piece came out. She laid it on her hand and eyed it sadly. It was from Rango, which he had given her shortly after he brought back the water.
----
"Believe me, Beans. I saw how the cactuses wandered over the desert to find the water. It's not a myth."
Beans had looked at Rango sceptically.
"Well, if you say so, but…"
"I'm not kidding you," he had said firmly. "I saw it with my own eyes. And I'm sure, that you will see them, too."
"I would like to believe you,…"
"You can do."
He reached into his pocket and held something at her.
First, Beans stared, then she chuckled. "What's that?"
"Well,… I… I saw it on a post card."
It was a little picture of a Wandering Cactus, which was cut out form a paper. The paper had the quality of a post card photo.
"I cut it out, when I found a tourist post card in a shop. I thought it would help you, or remember you."
He took her hand and laid it on her palm.
"That's very nice of you."
"Turn it round," he said.
Beans did. On the back of the cut photo paper was something written.
"Believe it," she read. "I saw it. Rango : - )"
The chameleon took her hands. "Believe it, Beans. Maybe you will see it with me together. One day."
----
It was the first personal thing, which she got from him. She laid it back into the medallion and closed it again. She sighed and remembered the letter, which she wrote. Did he found it? Will he wait for her? Was it a mistake to write him that letter? She wished he would look after her. But was that a really good idea?
Suddenly she heard something rustling behind her. She wanted to turn around, but suddenly an arm wrapped around her chest and another hand covered her mouth.
Beans screamed and struggled.
"You damn woman! Did you think I wouldn't see that? Eh? Did you?!"
The person loosed his grip a little and Beans took the chance to come free. She pushed him away. She turned around and got a shock, when a big person stood directly in front of her.
"Bill?! W-what are you doing here?"
Bill growled warningly. Beans went one step back when she saw, how the big lizard clenched his fists.
"No, it must call more: What are you doing?"
He made a step forward and Beans went back a step automatically.
"What do you mean?" she asked still irritated.
"Don't come the innocent with me! Don't think that you can fall everyone or that you can make it with everyone, which you can use!"
"Bill! I – I don't… How did you come… Me… I … I don't know what you are talking about."
"So, then I will jog your memories."
He put his fingertips together. "Kiss, kiss, kiss".
Beans blushed. "The… the kiss? Uh… it… it was nothing."
"So, that's your way of looking at things," he spat sarcastically. "Then it was also a joke with him, wasn't it? Who will you kiss next? Do you want to jilt him, too? Like you did with him? I saw you kissing in the water. Did you think I wouldn't see that?"
Kinski, Stump and Chorizo, who stood behind Bill, exchanged glances.
Beans made big eyes. In her head there was just chaos. Questions, fear and answer whirled through her mind. Bill didn't wait for a question or an answer and continued:
"Yes you and that loser."
"What?" Then Beans knew, who he meant. She jumped forward and looked at the Gila monster worriedly. "How is he? Is he okay? Something happen? Why are you here?"
Bill snorted with disgust. "Why should you care if you flirt with every man, who you meet?"
"Bill! Answer my question! Is he okay?"
Bill crossed his arms and looked at her with venom in his eyes. "He is a sleeping bottle as always. But you wouldn't take a dirt on that if he would pushing up the daisies."
Beans was wide-eyed. "WHAT? Is he… oh…. oh my… god. No, don't say…"
"Stop your stupid babbling! He is not dead, but how I saw, you have found another stupid guy."
Beans shook her head. "What silly stuff are you talking?!"
"Don't look so surprised. Or do you think I'm stupid? I see what I saw."
"Bill! I told you that it wasn't real! And the stupid idiot is you!"
Bill hissed loudly and jumped at her. Beans wanted to scream, but before she could, Bill grabbed her shoulder, closed her mouth and pressed her against the wall.
"Don't talk with me like that! The stupid slut is you! If you think you can take all for a fool, including the rest of the world, then you are in a wrong box."
"Mmmfpl, lmmpf mmpf!" Beans struggled against the gigantic lizard, but she was too weak to fight back.
Usually, Stump, Kinski and Chorizo would laugh but they are still afraid, that Jake could come back. For that reason, they tried to keep Bill calm as good as they could.
"Bill, don't get upset," Stump began. "Remember about…"
"Did I ask you?!" Bill shouted at him.
"No," Stump admitted feebly.
"Then, shut your trap! Damn!"
Meanwhile, Beans had clutched her hands around Bill's arm with that he covered her mouth and dragged it like crazy.
Bill narrowed his eyes. He bent ahead and came very close with his face on her face. "Who do you think you are?" he whispered darkly. "I don't like it if someone annoys me. Do you think that I forgot that you rejected me in front of the whole town? I never forgot. I had sworn that you should never come together with another one beside me. If Mayor John had never assured that the goddamn lizard would disappear soon, I had shot a bullet in his back. So sorry, that you and he didn't drown in the water. I really thought you would have something for that loser. But I see I was wrong. You aren't better than the others."
Beans had listened at him, but now, she became angry. She took all her force together and managed to become free her little mouth.
She gasped for air and hissed angrily. "I hate you! You know that! You only wanted to take me for your fun! Nothing more! Get it in your mind! I'm not your saloon girl!"
Bill's hand wandered more down and wrapped her neck.
"Be careful what words you forming with your sweet lips."
Beans shivered when she felt his crawls on her skin.
The desert lizard closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them again and looked hatefully at him. "I wish you hadn't survived that hawk attack!"
Bill narrowed his eyes. With shouting, he threw her away and Beans landed hard on the floor.
"You like it to let people fall, don't you?"
Beans stood up quickly. They stared at each other. Beans got tears in her eyes of rage.
"Get out! I don't want to see you anymore!"
"Oh, if you think you can give me the boot, then you are wrong! Or do you want to whisper sweet nothings with the next one?"
Beans's lips trembled.
Bill flicked his tongue with disgust. "You are really a bitch!"
Kinski touched Bill's shoulder. "Bill! Maybe we should…"
"Shut your trap. I'm not ready with that whore yet."
Beans looked at him like paralyzed. She had never heard such humiliating words from him.
"Bill! Stop that! You are totally disturbed!"
Bill hissed loudly.
"Bill!" Stump grabbed Bill's arm.
"Let me! I think I have to punch a woman the first time in my life!"
Kinski got panic. "Think about your life and RUN!"
"What…"
They didn't let him finish his sentence. The two rabbits and the mouse pulled Bill on his shirt outside. Bill swirled around and saw Jake's figure in the distance.
"Run, run, run, run, run!" The others screamed and ran over the hills.
Bill found back the way to the reality and tried to overtake the others.
"Is he still behind us?!" Stump yelled into the wind.
Several shots over their heads was all what he got for his question and the only answer from Kinski: "RUN! Run as fast as you can!"
They breathed in relief, when they reached their roadrunners. They jumped on the chickens and galloped off like hell.

Jake hissed annoyed and looked after them how they disappeared in the distance. On their roadrunners there were too fast that he could catch them. He turned around and crawled back to the cave.
Beans had recovered again and cleaned her dress.
"That was Bill, wasn't he?" Jake asked darkly.
"Yes," Beans answered acidulously.
"What did he want?" Jake asked inquiringly and narrowed his eyes. "Something from him?
Beans snorted and looked at him. "No, he just wanted to ask me something."
"A hard dialogue I saw."
"You know him. He is a bully and becomes angry very fast."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie! You talked about something! What was it?"
"He saw how we kissed."
She kept her face down. She was ready for coursing words, but instead, there was just silence.
She dared to lift her head to look at him. His face was dark and without a saying gesture.
He turned around. "You wanted to do something? Come on. I've got something to do for you."

Totally out of puff, they stopped. Kinski, Stump and Chorizo climbed down from their roadrunners and gasped for air. Even their chickens panted after that quick sprint.
Kinski leaned against his roadrunner. "Thanks god," he gasped. "We are… still… a-live."
"Indeed," Stump admitted and sank to the ground. "I thought we have to die every moment."
Chorizo lifted his head weakly. "I warned you, that it would be danger-ous."
"You… was… right…," Kinski gasped. "To-o danger-ous."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Stump whined. He was so afraid to flee that he had forgotten his wound on his back and had ridden on his roadrunner the whole way.
Kinski looked at him worriedly. "Do you think you need a doctor?"
Stump nodded. "Yes."
"Alright we will go to a doctor. What about you Bill?"
Bill stood in distance on his roadrunner and said nothing.
Chorizo stood up. "Uh, Bill."
Bill didn't reply. He rode ahead, in the other direction. The others looked at each other.

Jake had took off his revolver belt and laid it on the floor. Then he took a can with cream and a towel and put it next to Beans on the floor. After a short explain, Beans took the towel with a disgusting face and started to slather the revolver belt with the leather cream.
Beans sighed, but she had no right to complain. If she said, she was bored, now she had something to do now; despite it was a boring long work.
While she wiped with the towel the liquid over the leather, Jake had coiled together and watched her.
"Listen," he began. "I thought about something."
"About what?" she asked bugged.
"We will go away from here."
She lifted her head and looked at him with big eyes. "What?"
"You heard right. I decided that we change our place. I know another quarter of me. It's not so quiet like here, but there is a town in near. Maybe I will find a job."
Beans narrowed her eyes. "What kind of job?"
Jake raised his head more. "If someone ask for me, I will do it."
Beans knew what kind of job he used to do.
"You don't have to come with me if I have to do. But it's my destiny."
"For sure," Beans muttered silently.
Jake hissed but he didn't speak.
"And where is that place?" Beans continued her question.
"I will tell you tonight. I will take a sunbath now."
He slithered away. Beans looked after him, then she continued her work silently.
While she worked, she had to think again and again about Bill and their argument.
Why was Bill such an idiot? Of course, was still offended, when she had repelled him in the past. But that was nothing. And now, he thought she would do it with everyone?
Thoughtfully she wiped over the leather.
She got some friends when she was a child, but she would never dare to deceive someone.
She stopped her work for a moment. Damn! If Bill hadn't behaved so bad, she would have given him a note for Rango. But now it was too late.
