long distance, and I would trust. . . forget it. I think we're on.
Well, Belle DID indeed find the missing truck. Actually, it found us.
Another Johnson, saying she was an associate of the previous one, offered
an extra 25% to finish the job. Now, we were wary, what with all of these
Black Wido reports. I wanted to back out but Belle took it on. . .she
later said that showing any lack of will or trying to back out would've got
us killed. Geez, this business is dangerous.
So we picked up the shipment and hit the road. You know, the old highways
that were built by the U.S. have been very well maintained by the NAN--
so much that you can outrun most patrols. I save the 4WD for avoiding
roadblocks. Anyway, we burned through Sioux lands toward Kansas City, Kansas,
where some old friend of Belle's practices magic.
We showed her the box. As we suspected, three of the rings were magical, and
Cal's description matched that given by the others. We asked her if she could
but on a fake one on some cheap ring (she's a talismonger by trade). For only
150,000, we got fake spider rings and turned the others over to Cal for
destruction--she'll take them to the Cherokefor destruction, I'm told.
I told her to mention Tearchild's name.
Well, we took the rings on down to our contact in Ft. Worth. Gave 'em over,
got paid, and drove as far as possible, to Tulsa. We're gonna restock and
head back toward Seattle, but right now we're just happy that we probably
got rid of some of those stupid rings. I just hope that it's a long time
before they come after us, and that when they do, we're prepared.]<<<<<
