"Look out Chris" Vin hollered.
Just at that moment Chris was hit. He looked down in amazement
at his chest. His shirt was
darkening quickly with the spreading liquid. He froze for a second
and then dropped like a sack
of rocks behind the trough.
Chris raised his head a tad and saw one of them sneaking up behind Josaih.
"Josiah! Look out!
Behind you! Chris hollered as loudly as he could. Josaih whipped
his head around and fired
before the other man could. He hit his opponent in the leg and
prepared to fire again, but quick
as a flash with a howl the man had faded into the woods.
Buck was desperately trying to find a way out of the box he was in.
If he came around the barn 2
of them were waiting, but one of them was closing in on him rapidly
from behind. From the
looks of him he was fully armed and Buck was out of ammo.
"Hey Buck, here you go!" JD called tossing him some ammo.
Buck could see the kid had been
hit and yelled at him. "I told you to keep your head down.
Those guys show no mercy." Buck
fussed for a few seconds, but just then he had more important things
on his mind. Like the 2 men
easing closer to his side of the barn.
Nathan looked over at Vin. "Ok, on the count of 3 we rush
'em. Ezra is around behind the barn
and we can hope he has the sense to follow."
"Got it pard" Vin replied quietly. "I'll take the big fellow and you take the little one."
"1, 2, 3" With a yell Nathan and Vin rushed to their targets and
fired. As they did Chris and
Josaih converged from the direction of the trough. Nathan caught
a glimpse of Ezra moving in
from behind.
With a whoop, JD stood and fired his remaining ammo. He knew he
was gonna lose this fight,
but he didn't care at that minute. All he cared about was making
sure he got as many of them as
he could before they got him.
Buck apparently had the same idea because he came out from behind the
barn firing and yelling
at the top of his lungs. "You're dead!" He screamed as
he was hit on the arm. He aimed and hit
the man who'd got him in the head. Just then, Ezra coming
around the back of the barn fired.
JD looked over at him in shock.
"I thought you were on my team Ezra! JD bellowed as he tried to get the water out of his eyes.
"My good man, this situation calls for a reevaluation of the distribution
of forces." Ezra
responded glibly.
"Huh?" JD called.
"He's switching sides." Vin decoded for JD as he hit Ezra with
a balloon. The water inside made
a huge stain on Ezra's favorite jacket.
"Mr. Tanner, this is war." Ezra declared!
Just then a clanging sound emerged from the din. Nettie was beating
on a metal triangle with her
ladle.
"Ok boys time to eat." She hollered.
Immediately the 7 stopped the horseplay and headed for Nettie's delicious
fried chicken.
OKAY! I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY HAD BALLOONS IN THE 1800'S AND I
DON'T
CARE. YES I BLATANTLY STOLE THE PREMISE FROM MARGARET CASSIDY'S
STORY: DEATH'S SHADOW. I HOPE YOU AREN'T OFFENDED.
THIS IS JUST A
STUPID LITTLE DITTY FOR AN M-7 FAN WITH A DESPERATE NOTE IN HER EMAILS.
