Some time later two lone vehicles approached one other under the high desert sun. They each came to a stop in clouds of blowing dust and tumbleweed. Several moments passed before both drivers’ doors opened. The two men, each wary of the other, both exited their cars the same time. They each showed the other they were unarmed by holding up their empty, upturned hands.<br/><br/>Cam, driving an old green Land Rover, was angry. Scorpio, the driver of the well-armed Rogue battle-wagon, looked even angrier.<br/><br/>“How’s it going Romeo?” Scorpio asked. “Nice ride. Did you buy that with Mare’s bounty?”<br/><br/>“Fuck you,” Cam replied simply. “And what the hell is this Romeo crap?”<br/><br/>“Do you think you two were left alone by accident that night? Bullshit. I blocked the door.” Scorpio shook his head. “What the hell does that make me?”<br/><br/>“A lousy friend if you don’t help her,” Cam replied. Scorpio was unimpressed.<br/><br/>“As good a friend as you? Bone her – then kidnap her and drop her off somewhere she can’t stand with people she hates? We all need friends like you,” Scorpio shot back sarcastically.<br/><br/>That did it – Cam was now pissed.<br/><br/>“I didn’t kidnap her! Shit I was trying to convince her to let me stay! That’s why I’m here. Someone found my radio, fixed it and called the Silvers. Someone pretended to be me and brought the cavalry here. Whoever that was is a traitor. Some Rogue dropped the dime… who was it?”<br/><br/>Scorpio took some time to absorb what he just heard. He looked Cam up and down and had the sense the younger man was telling the truth.<br/><br/>“Shit,” he said slowly as the wheels turned in his head. “Raptor…” Scorpio mumbled to himself as he turned around. “Raptor wants to be the next boss…” Scorpio started to climb back into his car.<br/><br/>“Wait! Where are you going?” Cam asked angrily.<br/><br/>“To get help. You don’t think we could rescue her alone, do you? Now shut the hell up and follow me."
