Wild West - Part 20
They were laughing for a moment - the two hardboiled minds - then James came onto another idea.
“You know what? We don’t even have to risk killing Fishnick. The moment we step foot under that dome we’re safe from Ducköden. Holy shit. That patch of land is our salvation all by itself.”
“I’ll drink to that!” Tom began pouring a new round of whiskey for them, but stopped after having filled the first glass. “Wait… Won’t Ducköden know we’re not planning on killing Fishnick?”
Tom’s words made James realize they both got carried away.
“Oh, shit. Yeah. He’ll know. In fact, I’m sure He already does. He’s probably listening to us talk this very moment.” James’ voice had changed and now sounded defeated, instead of excited and proud. “You don’t know Ducköden, not the way I do,” James emptied the glass Tom had filled with whiskey. “He knows us better than we know ourselves. He must’ve had this meeting of ours planned all along. He knows what we’ll do already, and had known for quite some time, while even we ourselves don’t know yet. He analyses and plans everything. He knows everything. He already knows we will kill Fishnick for him. He wouldn’t have brought it up otherwise. He already knows what will happen. It’s us who still need to find out. Fuck!” He slammed his fist down on the table.
