“So we’re really going to do this?” Tara asked looking back
at Cecily nervously. Cecily just rolled
her eyes and looked toward Gina saying “She’s gonna chicken out on us and you
know it.” “No she won’t Cess. Now stop
giving her a hard time and be quiet.”
Gina responded flashing a broad smile at Tara while reassuring her. “This is going to be so simple and when we
are done just think about all the money we will have. We can finally get a place we can call home
and not have to deal with shit like this anymore ok?” Tara agreed, shaking her head yes, returning
a nervous smile to Gina. If anyone could
calm Tara down and lead this rag tag group of outcasts it was Gina. Gina was always the one the group looked to
for the smart decisions, any decision for that matter, so today was no
different. The only thing that changed
was that instead of bringing their brand of thievery and recklessness to the
people of Napa they had a bigger target in mind. Today they were going to blow up a train,
Queen Lo’s train.
Three nights ago Gina had drove into town with the girls
following at her heels. They were tired,
filthy and badly in need of a good meal.
Stealing and robbing from unsuspecting travelers was becoming more and
more difficult especially in Napa. Since
Hepatitis X ravaged the world and brought out the worst in most places people
did what they had to do to survive. For
the last three years the girls had managed to make it on their own with only one
another to depend on while avoiding the dreaded military enlistment or other
life draining jobs their friends and family had taken just to survive, but now
times were getting tough. People were
getting smarter and deadlier. The
general life of raiders and thieves was becoming all the more dangerous with
each passing day. If something didn’t
change soon Gina knew that she and the other misfits would soon be a family no
more.
