Sinister 2
The first night we arrived we camped in the mountain's foothills. Not far from a dirt road we relaxed in the cool night air, a welcome relief from the desert heat. While we watched the stars and planned tomorrow's explorations a large pickup trap lumbered down the dirt road. We barely glanced at the man behind the wheel who wore a white cowboy hat that shaded his rough features, though the truck seemed to linger a moment before it passed.
By the third day we had conducted our subterranean business and were preparing to draw the operation to a close. Though we were none the wiser regarding our shadowy adversaries we were glad to not have found conflict. That evening found us by the local swimming hole, reading and chatting. Without warning we were approached by swaggering stranger. The tattooed man sat down heavily next to us and finished off the last of his budweiser. He began:
We sized the man up. "Depends", I said, "What are you suggesting?"
Late in the night after our last operation we were putting up the tent when a large pickup truck turned into our campsite and blocked our way out. I whispered to E.C. "Is that the truck from the first night?" He gave a tight nod. "Get ready to haul ass." Another nod.
"Yeah?" I said with a confidence I didn't feel, "That worry you, living out here like that?"
(The previous three events are probably not related to each other. Probably.)
