"Yes, looks good. I overheard a conversation between Moro and another Spirit. She said the party does not need the bus they had prepared. I understood that to mean you got something else."

"Now wait a minute." Fernando begins, catching the attention of those around them, "I do not know nor do I care about what plans the spirits may have. But if they have ideas of taking Hondo's camper and truck for their own, if you think they got problems with me still wanting to put a bullet into Moro's skull, let them try to do something against Hondo and Val."
 
Hondo steps up to them, "What was that about somebody wantin' to take my ride?"
 
"I'll take care of it, Hondo. Believe me, I will take care of it." Fernando tells him before turning to Jeanette, "Hondo is willing to share his food, bathroom and ride for us to get to Texas. But these false gods want to take all for their own that would have been shared for the good of all, this is the type of people I do not want to do anything with. And a Bus? We have two - Volkswagen Campers, also known as the VW Bus. But they are so concern about the ecology and economy that they are willing to thrown in another one? How many people do they want us to drag back to Texas? Bus loads? And who is going to drive that - Hikaru? Moro? I would not trust Moro to drive a simulated race car in a video game! Last time I checked we are not the Partridge Family riding a hippie painted school bus cross country. And I am not going to allow anyone who thinks they can steal what may be offered as a share. Hondo's willing to share what he has to offer, that is where I draw the line."

"No, no, it's not like that." Moro says. "We acquired and fixed up a city bus we want driven to Texas. If this party can use it, we'd be killing two birds with one stone. I'm speaking figuratively. And what's wrong with me driving a city bus?"

"We already have 2 campers. I'm not saying they are the Be All and End All Answer to what we need, and despite the spirits being able to repair things like new, a city bus is not ecological as they do burn a lot of fuel even if they burn that fuel cleanly. And if you convert one into a RV/Camper, it can only sleep a few people though it may have a toilet and shower." Fernando begins, "Again, who is going to drive it? Who is going to drive the VW Camper you drove if you drive it? I'm going to let you know, Hondo found and bought a pair of VW Camper Trailers, they look like the Campers but are on two wheels and towed. They have a large pop area and can sleep 8 plus they each have a toilet, an outdoor shower and a larger and better kitchen. And they are insulated against heat and cold and have a heater. The seats fold out into a larger than kingsize bed that sleeps 6 plus the pop up sleeps 2 more. Plus they have their own solar and generators for electricity which I can use to add to the solar camper's power. And they are light weight - less than 300 pounds total when empty. But they need work that he and I are putting in and we are almost done, just need another day of working on them to finish them. He got them so they are his but he's willing to let us have them to use because we believe we will need the space and resources. I will tow one and you tow the other. All we care about is sharing the resources: Food, supplies, services, stuff. In asking around, this market will be here for a couple of days before they move out to the next town. Now, what do you think we will need? Hikaru got her coat? I think I saw a coat maker over there next to the leather shop."

Hondo was lost as far as what was going non. He only heard his ride being taken but he figured Fernando had it handled. If not Val will have shot someone by the time they return. Either way Hondo cleaned out his pipe, repacked it, lit in and puffed on it asnthry all talked. As the so called spirit talked his eyes narrowed.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

"Hondo made some great deals and I made a couple of good deals, so if we ever meet up with these sellers again, we can have great deals again. According to Dorothy over there, there will be another market 300 miles to the south from here next week these sellers will go to so chances are if we end up there at that time we will meet up with these market people again. They tend to sell at Mutant Friendly Settlements." Fernando explains. "Considering the fresh food we can get here now, it can last until we meet up with them again and get more then."

Moro nods. "I'm well aware a city bus burns a lot of diesel. We need more and more methods of public transportation as the population of Texas continues to grow. We are also doing work in New Mexico and Oklahoma with the goal of Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma being the first three states of the United States reborn. We are using rail systems, both electric and diesel, as much as it's environmentally feasible. There are areas where a bus is more environmentally feasible. With its configuration, it can only sleep a few people; because the bus will be going to Texas anyhow, no extra fuel is being used for this bit of comfort.
 
"I know how to drive a bus. You and Jeanette will continue to drive the VW ambulances.
 
"You, Hondo and Valentine did very well. After the ladies and I got out of church, one of my fellow Spirits told me what you did. If you need a mechanic, let me know. Wait, Hondo is using his own money for this project?" Shocked

Hikaru is standing there in her red long coat made in Japan. "According to Jeanette's journal, I was freezing so I packed warmer clothes."

"Hondo's willing to share resources with us so I'm wiling to share resources with him. So yes, he found them, he bought them and he's willing to give them to us for the time we need them. All he is asking is that you all do the right thing and share in return - how ever that sharing takes place, even if it means picking up a broom and sweep out his camper once a week or clean and prepare food." Fernando explains, "Thanks to him, along with his camper, we got five kitchens, a lot of fresh food and extra beds if needed, toilets and showers though they are outdoor showers."
 
"It's money another spirit group gave me that I am spendin'. So in that, yes, it is mine money and I will spend it if it helps people. Right now I'm helpin' Jefe and his little girl in helping you with that money." Hondo adds.
 
"The Bus will be a hindrance. More than likely it will have MetroLiner Bus Tires which are great for city transportation but not for highway runs. If you run them at highway speed for any significant amount of time, their sidewalls will collapse, and at highway speed you will crash it. At best you got two maybe three hours of highway running time on those tires. Anything after that you're looking for an accident waiting to happen. This is why Greyhound Buses only run three hours max between stops and they take a couple of hours to rest those tires before they continue on. You want to run the gauntlet with that bus, that is on you." Fernando continues.

Hondo: an' the roads I've seen would not handle a bus that size. I said I'd help but I ain't.pullin' no greyhound bus outta every mud hole an' risk my equipment.  For things that make sense I'll risk everython' if needs be. For a fools errand I'm not interested.
