I hope you'll appreciate it. I try my best to write new chapters as quickly as possible. I appreciate every reader!»

It's been three days. These days were the most agonizing, after invasions by Hughes and his associates. This criminal managed to carry away some lives of citizens of the city "Dirt". Formed the crater after the blasts. Was conducted to search. Someone survived, and someone was considered dead or missing. The search came on the same day, when everything was considered finished. The found bodies of the dead were plundered in graves; "lucky" that survived, all the time were under supervision of the Sheriff and his people. The survivors were thought to be around four beasts, but their injuries were incompatible with the fact that they would live long. But all same for their life fought local doctor.

Weather conditions, as on evil, were awful in these days. Over the past two days, the sandstorm had not left the area that once existed here. Some citizens were able to find shelter on other ranches, while others left the place. Some of the townspeople immediately on the same day, are left not only because of the lack of housing, there was a rumor that Hughes could survive and come back for revenge. It was their choice.

Today, when the storm subsided on nekotore time, Mr. black continued his work. During these days it came to him to work seriously. The bodies of the dead, which were found in the rubble, was quite a lot, and the bodies of citizens was not so little. Some citizens died from their injuries, others were able to get a strong dose of gas that is in the crater.

"...This happened: at night, on the eve of the second day after the invasion of Hughes, the gas spread sharply through the territory, where some citizens spent the night in tents made from improvised means. Having inhaled gas, some citizens couldn't Wake up. But there were survivors, but they were weak. We have no vaccine. Everything remained under the rubble. Neighboring cities have been wiped out. The last hope to get to the city of "Westfield" in the East, where the "lake-Mead" river Colorado…»

Doc wiped the sweat off his face. With shaking hands, he took a flask of drink from his pocket, took a few SIPS, and took a deep breath. His eyes wandered around the room where he was sitting, and there were several victims. Doc put the flask down and looked at the table where he had just written the letter. Picking up a pencil Doc tried to continue…

"...Time is very short, I ask you to give as much vaccine as possible. The town of "Dirt," a local doctor : Rick Drew (Doc)!»

Doc quickly folded the letter into an envelope, then put it in his pocket. Doc stood motionless for a few minutes, but his cough distracted him from his thoughts. He looked sharply at the stairs that led up. He frantically grabbed the lamp and went upstairs.

Doc and some of the citizens were at the Beans ranch. This place was closer so that the victims could be brought.

Upstairs Doc wearily looked at the clock that was near the room. It was already about two o'clock night. After knocking on the door, Doc slowly entered the room.

It was Beans room. Beans herself was lying in her bed, with Rango dozing beside her, sitting on his knees beside her bed. Doc slowly touched Rango's shoulder, but Rango immediately woke up.

"Doc?"- he asked quietly.

Without words Doc put the lamp down and began to examine the Beans. Rango stood up and watched the process. Rango was very silent these days, not for a moment did he move away from Beans, hoping that she would finally Wake up…

But she never woke up until now. Doc sighed as he controlled her pulse and injected her with an injection.

"Last one" - Doc said wearily.

Rango sighed nervously.

"Really? no more?" - he said quietly.

Doc pulled away from Beans.

"I can't promise I'll find another cure. Now a lot of victims, and they will necessary this injection as well, but It's too small …»

Doc stopped when he saw Rango's face. He turned pale. Doc to clear his throat.

"We still have a chance, Mr. Rango.»

Rango immediately became serious.

"What do I have to do?" - he asked.

"We need to bring the vaccine here. She'll cure her and the others to the end...She just needs a big dose..." - Doc held out the envelope to Rango -"It's got to get to Westfield long enough. Four days journey»

Rango took the envelope.

"Four days there and four back?" - Rango looked at the Doc -" is there any hope that she ... hold out last these days?»

Doc thought. Rango's gaze fell.

"I think I'll be able to share several medications so that she can hold out" - said Doc.

Rango nodded.

"Believe me Doc, she hold out ... I go out at dawn!" - he said firmly.

Suddenly there was a deep sigh. Rango and Doc immediately looked around as the Beans began to stir. Rango quickly ran to it and grabbed for hand.

"She'll Wake up, like I said, but it won't be long. While you have the chance, I have to go through my stuff to fully examine her..." - Doc said quickly and left the room.

Rango mesmerized by watching the Beans. It took a few minutes for Doc to leave, his things were at a nearby ranch, but Rango was not distracted. He gently stroked her hand, hoping that she would open her eyes.

Rango got nervous when Beans grabbed herself in the throat area. She was hurts.

"I promise you you'll get well soon" - Rango said.

"Rango…»

Rango immediately sat down on the bed next to her as she pronounced his name.

"I'm here"- he said, and pressed her hand to him.

Beans breathed heavily, she tried to open her eyes. Rango grabbed her cheek to make her feel better. Her breath became deeper as he touched her. Slowly she opened her eyes, her sight was cloudy.

"You shouldn't be so tense" - Rango said quickly.

He shuddered as she touched his hand. Beans smiled easily.

"I heard you...all this time..." - she said weakly.

Rango smiled back at her.

All these days he talked to her, trying to cheer himself up. He believed she could hear him. So every conversation was like a cure for her. He believed it.

Rango smile disappeared as the Beans weakly let go of his hand. He immediately grabbed her other hand.

"You shouldn't talk" - he said nervously.

Beans looked at him faintly but still with a smile.

"I believe you..." - she said.

Rango trembled, this was the moment when tears themselves flowed from his eyes, he could not control it.

"I'm sorry... " - he said softly - " If I had stopped you then ... it would have been different!»

"Shh... it's not your fault..." - she said still weakly.

Rango smiled through tears from her words.

"Honey ..." - she said.

Rango kissed her hands.

"You'll be fine" - he said firmly, and wiped the tears away.

Doc walked into the room without knocking. He took a thermometer and other medical instruments with him. Rango got off Beans bed and knelt down to be near her.

"Beans? You hear us?" -asked Doc and started to check her reaction of eyes to light.

"Yes..."- said the Beans slightly and covered his eyes from the light.

"All right" -Doc said, and prepared the thermometer- " Breathe?»

Beans thermometer it is clear that she has a temperature. And it looks like her lungs are burning "- Doc said quickly and pulled out a vial of liquid -" I'll give her this, it'll knock her temperature down for a while»sighed heavily. Rango tensed.

"Maybe you shouldn't ask her so many questions" - he said quickly.

"I need to know what's wrong with her, Mr. Rango" - Doc said.

"It hurts to breathe, just like talking..." - said Beans sharply.

It was too much for her, and her sighs grew louder. Rango squeezed her hands.

"Here without a thermometer it is clear that she has a temperature. And it looks like her lungs are burning "- Doc said quickly and pulled out a vial of liquid -" I'll give her this, it'll knock her temperature down for a while»

Doc slowly poured it in the spoon, that sort of syrup. Rango helped the Beans up so she could drink. About half an hour Doc watched the condition of the Beans. But soon the syrup began to operate, and the temperature went down to normal size. But the coughing and heavy breathing didn't leave her. Rango convinced Doc that he would be watching her, because Doc was very tired. He hardly slept these days.

"Call me if you need anything- "- Doc said wearily, and left the room.

Rango nodded as he walked away and looked at Beans, who was staring silently at the ceiling.

"You better?" - Rango asked carefully.

Beans didn't say anything, just closed her eyes. Rango sighed and looked out the window. It was late at night. He was distracted as Beans hand touched his back. He looked at her, her eyes still closed.

"Come to me ..." - she whispered.

Rango slowly lay down beside her. Her breathing became steady as he slowly stroked her arm. She turned her head in his direction, and he looked into her eyes, which soon her opened then. He touched her cheek and stroked her as well.

"Today I will go for the vaccine. Importantly hold on" - whispered Rango.

Beans closed her eyes and nodded weakly. She tried to fall asleep, but Rango watched her with thoughts that she was all right. But soon his eyes closed and he fell asleep too.

A shadow stood over the window of the room where was Rango and Beans. Jake stood outside and watched. He hissed a little when he pulled away. He's been here all these days. Some of the townspeople didn't understand what he was doing here. But he knew…

"Her words will never be forgotten:" " we're even now, Jake..." ... No I still owe you…"
