Chapter 8
Both of them eventually got up to their feet and the crowd started moving as one again. The two gunslingers steered clear from anyone looking familiar and walked side by side.
“So, …” Tom started hesitantly after a while. “What if one of us doesn’t make it to train? What if one of us doesn’t get the wheelbarrow?”
“Stop worrying, Tom. Everything is going to be just fine.” James made sure to suppress his emotions and stay as calm as possible. “Besides, we’re both capable of working alone if shit goes sideways. All that matters right now is to find out as much as possible about this place, and about this new king. If we for some reason part ways today, we meet at Chuck’s when appropriate, okay?”
“Good. We need to have a plan for any possible scenario.”
“Well, yes, but where’s the fun in that?” James laughed. He knew he needed to break the depressing atmosphere. “Think about it. It’s the first time we actually get to decide about things ourselves. Live a little, you know? Improvise. Do whatever the fuck we want.” Tom’s face slowly turned into a subtle smile. He knew James was right. With Dückoden’s powers nullified by the dome, there was nobody who could have a say in their actions but themselves. They were, in a sense, free at last.
The road seemed much shorter that time around, and they found themselves atop the hill overlooking the mine in no time.
