High time for a showdown
Mar. 18th, 2021 03:52 amReturning from a job with his usual supply of water -and this time some munitions- to find the mine running a skeleton crew had been disconcerting, sure he'd been gone longer than usual, almost a week, but that shouldn't have been enough time for something to have happened.
A runner from town, one of the teenagers, caught up to him as he was disembarking, explaining that the Tuskens had warned them early that morning of a Red Key convoy incoming, maybe as many as ten vehicles, which could mean as many as sixty men, but no one thought it would be any more than thirty, they didn't think Red Key had that many employees left, unless they'd been recruiting, or had gotten reinforcements from somewhere else.
The kid led him straight to the cantina, and Din relaxed a little at finding they were taking the potential threat seriously, working some kind of strategy, which was why, setting the few boxes of slugs he'd gotten ahold of on the edge of the table Cobb was using, he only asked: "How can I help?"
