36. Ask her!

"What should that all be?!" Rango shouted.
Kinski stood behind him and held his arms, while Stump armed a gun at him. They had hid in a little niche between the rocks. He had wiped away his "beard" and shouted at them with angry voice. "I thought we had a plan."
"We have had a plan," Stump corrected. "Don't take it amiss. We just follow the new course."
„Whose course? Bill's course? If he had a new plan, why didn't he inform me?"
He looked at Tonca and Danny, who stood not far away.
Tonca shrugged his shoulders. "We didn't know it."
"Let him go."
Bill appeared.
Stump stood up and lowered his gun. Rango gave Kinski a little push and went to the Gila monster.
"What should that be?!" the chameleon cried. "What are you thinking?!"
"Why so angry, little pet?" Bill asked calmly like he had no idea about Rango anger.
"Our plan was to release her and him! If you have no apologize…" Rango interrupted himself and seemed to search for words. "…I don't have a word, which is worse than "traitor"."
Bill snorted amused. "Is the snake really so important for you? More important than her?"
Rango winced. "What are you playing for a game?" he asked darkly.
"I said it before – it's my command."
Rango pressed his fists together. "Where is she? What have you done to her?"
"She is in safety. For a while."
"You kidnapped her?"
"I just took her away."
"Why all this?"
"Because these are my rules."
Rango took a deep breath. "But what about Jake?"
Bill became silence. Then he lifted his chin.
"You should be glad, because your girl she conceived sympathy for your biggest enemy."
"What do you mean?"
"You had asked me, where I had been days ago, didn't you? Well, we were looking what your girlfriend was doing. And what had she done? She flirted with him."
Rango looked at him with big eyes. For sure, he didn't believe him.
"And they had kissed wildly."
Rango moved his head. "No."
Bill grinned and crossed his arms. "They can vouch what I say."
He pointed at the others.
Stump nodded. "I can affirm it. I swear it on the grave of my mother."
"She isn't dead yet," Kinski muttered.
"Oh, uh… in this case… on the grave of my grandmother."
"Yes, she kissed him," Chorizo added.
"That must be a mistake," Rango muttered with pressed lips.
He winced when Bill grabbed his collar brutally. "Yes, she hates you, because you let her fall."
Rango tried to come free and grabbed his hand. "No, that's not true!"
"So and why did she find another lover instead of you?"
Rango dammed up his tears. "You lie," he hissed.
Bill grinned widely. "Ask her. Ask her, ask her, ask her. She will affirm it."
Rango had like paralyzed and looked at Bill with wide eyes.
Suddenly Bill pushed him away. "ASK HER! If you are thinking that I'm a liar like you!"
"Where is she?"
"Follow the little chain of hills and you will fall over her."
The chameleon didn't hesitate and ran out.

Rango's knees trembled when he ran over stones and troughs.
So long, he had waited that he could see her again. After Bill's words, his feelings were confused. Did he tell the truth and Beans forget him? Or did she play a game? Would she be glad to see him again? She wrote it, she would wait for him. But what if… no, Jake wasn't here now. Jake! He forgot. What happened with him? He shook his head. Beans was more important now. All other things will come later. Suddenly he stopped and reeled. Almost he had fallen down.
Between the rocks, he saw on a free field something familiar.
Was she it or not?
He blinked several times. But he would recognize her dress under thousand others.
For a moment, all around him became black. Pictures of their last goodbye passed his mind.
How long did he wait for that moment? Every hour, every minute. He never dreamed about other things than this.
His head became empty. He didn't know how to move anymore. Somehow, he moved his hand and moved his lips without speaking a word. His throat was thick. He swallowed. He couldn't think anymore, he just functioned. After several tries, he spoke her name.
"Beans!"
He waited a few seconds for a reaction of her. She didn't move. His voice was too quietly, but he didn't know and cried louder. Suddenly she moved her head.

Beans winced when she realized the figure of Rango in the distance. He ran to her.
She screamed and shook her head wildly.
"MMPmopmf!
No! Stay away! Stay away!

Rango's pace became faster. Beans struggled like crazy.
God, did she have pain? What's going on with her?
The closer he came the better he could see that she had tied and gagged.
That damn Gila monster, Rango cursed in his thoughts. I'm here, I'm here.
With a slithering sound, he stopped in front of her and fell forward. He wrapped his arms around her. All questions were forgotten. She hadn't injured.
Beans struggled more.
"Don't worry," Rango said. With trembling numb fingers he removed the gag.
Beans spat: "It's a trap! Run away!"
Rango didn't know what she said. He was still irritated. "What do you mean?"
A clicking sound behind him let him froze. He turned around. Bill aimed a revolver at him.

For a moment, Rango was unable to speak a word. "W-what are you doing?"
"Don't do it, Bill!" Beans screamed.
"Could you be quiet for one damn minute?!" Bill cursed.
Rango stood up, but suddenly the Gila monster pressed the revolver on his chest.
"Don't move! Keep there!"
Rango lifted his hands in the air. "Why are you…?"
"Shut your mouth!" Bill cut. "Don't make troubles."
At this moment, Kinski, Stump and Chorizo came. In their hands, they held the two geckos on their legs.
"Bill?" Rango looked at the Gila monster with disbelieve. "Don't make a mistake! What's all this? If you wanna take revenge then kill me but let her go!"
Bill snorted with disgust. "She isn't innocent for all."
The chameleon narrowed his eyes. "Just that she stultified you!? That's past!"
Bill narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Kinski, Stump and Chorizo ducked their heads.
"You know what I mean," Rango replied as calmly as he could. "I know that she embarrassed you but is that a reason for you to torment her?"
"How do you…"
Bill's glance wandered at his men.
"I'm innocent!" Kinski said quickly.
Bill pressed his hand around the revolver. Suddenly he shot. The bullet missed his target very close and landed in the sand.
"We will talk later! First it's your turn."
Rango walked next to Beans and wrapped his hands around her. He pressed her closer on his body. "Spare her with your anger, please!"
"This is useless!" Beans cried.
She knew, Bill wouldn't change his mind.
Rango's hands cramped and petted over her hair. "Bill! Let her go!"
Bill growled. "You are both a thorn in my side."
"Can't you accept, she isn't your girl!"
"You forget, you both broke my dreams for a luxury life."
"That was self-defence! And for all the other people…"
"Shut your trap! Sit down!"
Rango hesitated.
Bill shot and missed him very close.
"You're to do what I say now!" the Gila monster shouted.
Reluctantly, Rango sat down on the hot stony floor.
Bill went forward, pressed his gun on Rango's forehead while he was removing the revolvers from his holster.
He threw the guns to Chorizo, who caught them.
"Bill…"
Bill growled loudly. "Shut your trap and put your hands on your back."
Rango sighed deeply and laid his hands on his back.
The two head down hanging geckos exchanged glances. Then Tonca dared to move his hand.
"Ehm…"
A shoot from Bill to the side let him become silent.
"Give me a rope," Bill hissed at Stump.
Stump gave Chorizo the gecko and rummaged in his pockets. He gave it to Bill and he tied Rango's hands together. When it was done, he grabbed Rango's arm, dragged him to Beans, and pressed them back to back. Then he took a new rope and tied them together.
"Bill? Why are you doing this?" Rango asked, when he was ready. "What are you going to do now? Are you going to kill us? Do you think you will feel better after that?"
Bill snorted with disgust. "I will do nothing. But others will do that."
He waved his hand. The lizard's glances followed his beckon.
They paled.
