It will always be fan-dangled to her, but time and circumstance has made one necessary.

Texts below: regarding the bar, jukebox complaints, job applications or ... well... anything?

Have at it. :)

3:57am

A man named Dominic was asking for directions to Charlie's.

In pursuit not of the establishment in general, but of one of the patrons that frequents.

Tall, dark hair, blue eyes. He smokes and seems to have a good-natured temperament.

There is something that I can see about him, but not too clearly. Whatever it is, it's primarily mundane.

I do not know what about this man has made me think it's necessary to tell you.

But I'd rather be overly cautious than regret it later.

The screen with the keyboard hidden under glass glowed at him. His mind became a void for a moment where all he could do was stare at it, waiting for inspiration. What did Fin and Madi text each other? Taking his bottom lip between his teeth he looked at Fin and Ame, his smile appearing shortly and then his attention going back down to the screen.

Dear Madison. This is Tag. I bought a cell phone today for calls and the text messages. I do not have email. Going to get more milk and ammunition so do not worry about getting those. Sincerely, Baby.

There was a look to Fin as he angled the phone towards him for approval, followed by the question, "And now she has it and will write me back?"

Fin was giving the dark man a crash course in sending his first text message, where he would await her response. After pointing out that he needed to press send, Tag tapped the button.

9:59pm

It's been too long to resume our communication with something like this.

But I'd like to try coming back to Charlie's.

Perhaps we could drink together beforehand?

Madison Rye

Surprise colored her pale face as she read the text. That's her boy, alright. A smile.

Text to Tag: You are ridiculous. And I love you. And I am going to confuse you all the more once I start sending you all the GIFs. They are wonderful things, baby.

- Selfie of Madison with a goofy grin sticking out her tongue.

Text to Crispin: Hello, stranger. There is no try, you come when you are ready. I said it once before and I will say it again; you will always have a place at my bar. There is no question about it. Just say when, where and I'll be there. I look forward to it. I am very happy you reached out.

Crispin

I meant it more not to upsell confidence in my ability to do so rather than doubt that you would not allow it.

You're very kind, Madison.

Tonight, perhaps, after you close?

It was a video she sent, not a GIF. What's a GIF? Tag sighed, made some educated guesses and used the second best thing to understanding the internet-- Fin.

Text to Fin: What is GIF?

Text to Madison: Sending me gifts is good. The phone showed me your face, did you know? I love you.

Voicemail to Glenn: "Douglas, don't be ringin' me up tellin' me when and how. That's a family day. If you have somethin' you need to be sayin' then come by at 7pm as I'll be puttin' in some orders."

There's a pause. She chews her lip. Her voice gets harsh.

"If you're callin' of course it's about shit!

Pause.

"When aren't you makin' waves you pain in the goddamn ass!"

Muttering and the call cuts off.

He pocketed his cell into his pants, grabbing his old leather jacket. Tag waited for her at the door, his thumb pushing over the house key. It was them, this family, against everything else.

The west was calling again, except this time it wasn't just Madi there to answer it.

She grinned at her phone a little sadly and then tucked it down her back pocket, took up the bottle of beer for a sip and reached for the pistol at her hip. Fire's glow illuminated the broken row of cans, most of them dented, dinged, ridden with holes, along the ground by the wire fence.

But there was still one standing.


The sound of gunfire filled the silent, country dark.
