QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile The well-oiled Angel’s Ascent machine (as well oiled as they could be while running on fumes, pain, and spite) scattered to do their jobs. If his hackles weren’t raised to high heavens, he might have dwelled more on how proud of these people he felt. Instead...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile God, they were in so much shit. A hair’s breath from being shot, and he knew it. He hadn’t been this close to strangers in a long time - and why would he expect this time to be anything different? They were in the middle of nowhere! This was supposed to be...

Forgiveness Outside Lincoln- Medical Tent Weston made it to the medical tent, but not by his own two feet. How it all happened was hazy to him. He was plodding his way through the snow, shivering under his too-thin hoodie, watching people shuffle from tent to tent. He must have been moving too...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile Marc was better at taking orders than some people gave him credit for - Nik included - so when he barked the order to keep sights up, he did exactly that. Every window, doorway, alleyway, rooftop, and balcony was a potential location of a threat, armed or...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile Lila knew exactly what that look from Birdie meant when Willow was around. Watch her, and don’t let her get in trouble. Willow wasn’t stupid - she just… wasn’t totally suited for this life. Not the way she was, or Billie and Birdie and Ally. Willow was meant...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile Blasting a mannequin would be a funny tale to tell - tomorrow or the next. Probably. Just not right this second. Right now they were all tense - he could feel it in the air, damn near taste it. He couldn’t blame Johnny for being pissed. It wasn’t actually...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile Bax’s heart was thundering in his ears - which was funny, since it was also halfway up his throat. God, it fucking pissed him off how big they’d stepped in it this time. For months - months! - Quapaw had been quiet. Deserted. Empty. Dark. And today, of all...

Letting Your Guard Down - Part II Lincoln's Garage TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD & GORE Craig knew his hearing was off, hearing nothing but ringing, but he should have still heard the explosion. Hell, he ought to have felt it too - he was dangerously close, risking his own bodily injury just to take...

Letting Your Guard Down - Part I Lincoln's Garage King was a most foul failure. It was beyond embarrassing to have their leader - or what apparently passed for leadership here - dead. Unceremoniously murdered on a rooftop and shoved off like the sack of waste that he was. Craig saw the body...

QUAPAW, OK Quapaw Mercantile Marc caught Nik’s gaze for just a moment before offering him a slight shrug of his shoulders and looking away. He didn’t know what to say to the guy - hell, he didn’t know what to say to anyone. These people were tight, he could see that much plain as day. He was an...

QUAPAW, OK Quapaw Mercantile Taking the binoculars from Birdie, she lifted them to her eyes and checked out the dead bodies more closely. Sure enough, they had not only been dragged there, but intentionally positioned - left hand over the heart. That couldn’t have been by accident. That meant...

QUAPAW, OK Quapaw Mercantile When the walkie-talkie at his hip crackled to life with Birdie’s voice, Fish raised an eyebrow and popped it off the holder. Two bodies, dragged intentionally. The dead didn’t do things like that… only the living. That wasn’t a good sign - but what the hell about...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile Nothing about where they were pulling into sat right in her stomach. Not after she saw those bodies dangling. Then again, what did? Has anything felt right or safe since the clubhouse got attacked? Or even before that, since Auguste got sent away on some dumb...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile “I think at this point if we saw cowboys with lassos, I’d figure we got lost and somehow wound up in Texas instead. If I hear anyone say yeehaw, I’ll cringe. Not even kidding.” He grinned at Nik, entirely kidding about it. It was kind of amusing sometimes...

QUAPAW, OKLAHOMA Quapaw Mercantile As cold as it was, Marc was glad he was on his bike and not cooped up in a vehicle with someone else. He had been, for a part of the drive, when the weather was so bad that none of them could risk a bike. When that happened, it always felt awkward to him. He...
