sashaying across the runway with less enthusiasm than she'd carried before.
The mood in the room darkened immediately as the men stared after her with
greedy lust.
Jak figured it was a good thing the girl's eyes were covered by the mirror
lenses, because he didn't think she'd be able to hide the reluctance in her
gaze that she tried so hard to hide from her moves. The girl linked her arm in
the doctor's.
Kirkland looked at Jak. "If you should decide to change your mind on my offer,
let me know."

Deathlands 42 - Way of the Wolf
The albino teen watched the man leave the room, noticing how the other men
gave him a wide berth. The three men at the bar averted their faces, but
Kirkland noticed them anyway. He didn't stop or acknowledge them, though.
"He's gone," Dean said after the man left, "and I'm glad to be rid of him. I'm
beginning to think the worst thing we could've done was come here."
"For him or us," Jak agreed. "Remains be seen how hand takes shape. Let's go."
He left his drink on the table and walked into a narrow hallway where he
figured the washroom was. He stepped over Sykes's unconscious body. Even
without looking, he knew the three men were following him and Dean.
He walked through the door on the left, led by the stench of urine and the
soured stink of sweat. The washroom was uncommonly small, decorated with
pinups from skin magazines Jak had seen before. There were pictures on the
walls that looked like the women in them were trying to turn themselves inside
out. He'd never cared for that kind of thing, and couldn't understand how
other men could.
His own rutting urges were triggered by different things.
The men in the washroom gave them notice, but ignored them for the most part.
Looking at the back wall, Jak spotted the small window above the piss trough.
He didn't pause, not knowing if the three men following them would figure on
taking them when the chance presented itself to hem them in.
He stepped up on the trough, making a couple of the men nearest him on either
side shy away. He ignored them, grabbing the window latch and unlocking it. He
shoved the window open with a creak. The night air rushed in, still carrying
the scent of the ville, but lots cleaner than the interior of the washroom.
Jak hoisted himself up and climbed through the window. It let out into an
alley filled with grass and weeds growing up between chunks of cracked
pavement. He pulled himself through, then reached back for Dean.
The younger boy slithered through all on his own, joining Jak a heartbeat
later.

Deathlands 42 - Way of the Wolf
"Hey, they're getting away!"
Looking back into the lantern-lit room, Jak saw the three tattooed men rush to
the window. They almost got into a fight with the other men. One of them
unlimbered his side arm.
Jak tapped Dean's shoulder and they stepped into the darkness, out of the line
of fire.

"Guess they're pretty serious about finding us," Dean said.
Jak nodded. "Probably got Kirkland's blessing. Mebbe heard left inn by
ourselves, thought those coldhearts could take and question us. Then blame
them we get chilled."
"Nobody would have believed that."
Jak nodded. "Yeah. But Kirkland not know that." He listened to the men yelling
behind them, realizing it had to have been the others in the washroom, not the
men trying to track them. "Hurry." He led Dean into the shadows. It would be
better if they didn't have to kill anybody.
At least, not where the bodies would be left out in the open.
Chapter Seven
Hand lettering made the small sign look elegant. J.B. stood outside the
building looking up at it after pulling the bell cord: Tinker Phillips and
Sons Gun Repair and Gun Sales Straight and True Guaranteed.
Wheelgun and .45 semiautomatic images framed the announcement. Rifle images

Deathlands 42 - Way of the Wolf bridged the distance along the sides of the
sign.
The building was compact, consisting of a single story and running back about
four times in length what it was in width. White paint looked well kept, and
small panes of frosted glass covered the windows and the door openings. Even
in the low lantern light coming from the street, the Armorer could see the
shadows of iron bars just on the other side of the glass.
The door opened softly, not drawing back much. Close-cropped blond hair hung
over a pair of sky blue eyes that regarded J.B. in frank disapproval. For a [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
