Seeing the first signs of life rise and ramble in the morning brought joy to Amos and lifted the mist of despair that was looming overhead due to the events that transpired.<br/><br/><em>”You got anything to eat in this town?”</em><br/>Nicky, the female Drifter who helped set up camp appeared hungry. Amos, pointing to the Lone Star, directed her towards the nearest source of nourishment. The Sheriff was more than willing to share his supplies and goods, provided his Drifter retinue stuck around until their goal was fulfilled.<br/><em>"No foolin' who ever took my hat had better return it before they meet with my foot up their ass! And what the hell is that smell? If its what passes as chow around here then I'm out! It smells worse than a a dead polecat, baked under the sun!"</em><br/><br/>(<em>“It probably WAS a polecat.”</em>) Amos thought to himself. By now, he had gotten used to the decrepit stench of the animal and he began pacing eagerly around the perimeter of the convenience store. At that moment, Amos caught a whiff of something foul lingering in the air.<br/><em>“That reeks even worse than…”</em>catching a glimpse of a female figure, Amos spied a woman who was curiously stuffed into a barrel! Dismembered and pallid, the blood was drained from her body by some unnatural means as the woman had no visible bulletholes or bite marks, which would indicate this was not the work of a Drifter or beast, but something far more ferocious...<br/><br/>As Amos tipped the barrel over with his cowboy boots, the woman plopped out like a rag doll. It was another familiar Drifter who assisted in the camp setup just last night. It was<strong>Arisa Thornton</strong>! Looking on in horror, he took a step back to collect himself.  Who could have killed her? And if not who, what could have killed her?<br/><em>“No matter. I don’t have time for this,”</em>although somewhat crude, Amos realized that Arisa’s death would have to be put on hold for the time being, for today was the day that the Drifters set off for Port Rose and the beginning of a new Filgaia.
