Jeanette presses the button on the radio. "What do we need for the sandwiches on the go?"

[About 20 minutes before Fernando and Hondo go to the Market with the girls to line things up with Jeanette's Post.]  
 
"What ever you need for the sandwiches - bread, meat, toppings; AND something to wrap them in like butcher paper or wax paper so they do not dry out sitting around. Also what would like to drink with it, preferable in a bottle. I might be getting a small tub of soup for Macey and myself if its available." He replies. He remembers, "Since we will be driving while the others are sleeping, you can not have the top popped up, so all the girls need to be in the back bed. Hikaru and Moro will need to be in the passenger seats. When we get situated in the second town, you can sleep in the trailer once it is secured in place."

Jeanette is a little tense but she tries not to show it since she knows Fernando has a lot more on his plate. "It would help if I know what we already have. We have mayo and mustard, right?" Just then Jeanette spots bread for making submarine sandwiches. "I just found some bread."

"Until we put everything together before we roll, I do not know what we have. But consider a big dinner-type lunch, and a small lunch type dinner- depending on the roads will be and how fast we are traveling, we can't stop to eat. So Sandwiches would be great for such a meal on the run. But sandwiches is not enough, a drink is good too and we can not stop for bathroom before bed time so we need to go use the facilities before we leave." Fernando explains. "If I can find a pre-made soup, I'm picking it up Macey and I to have a bit more for the long ride. I would recommend the same thing for you too if you can find one. Perhaps one of the prepared food sellers may have some home-made soups."

"There is a fish and chips vender here at the market. Hikaru suggested lunch here, which is 12 Shells [$3]. As for drinks on the road, we're still on our first case of sodas Hikaru bought at the fort." Jeanette continues to see what's available. "Oh, this is cute. They have single-serving size bottles of milk."

"Sounds good, the fish and chips that is. I think I'll chase after the milk, I'm trying to keep Macey's sugar intake to a minimum. Enjoy the lunch, maybe we'll find you when Hondo and I get to the market later." Fernando replies.

Hondo walked over to Tom's gun Booth. Tom was bent over packing some extra items. Hondo set something down on the bench lodly tonget his attention. Tom didn't  stand up.
 
Tom: Just a moment.
 
Hondo stood there for a moment.  When it was clear Tom was in hurry he cleared his throat.  
 
Tom:  Just a moment!
 
After another minute of ignoring him Hondo tapped him on the shoulder.
 
Tom: I said just a. . . GAH!
 
Tom stood up at that moment, jumped, and dropped a box.  
 
Tom: Oh! It's you. Uhm. . . Something wrong? Tell the other guy that's all I know about the patch, honesty!
 
Hondo: Settle down. I'm here to buy.
 
Tom: oh good. Good! I was just...  
 
Hondo: What?  Is this about last night? They had it comin'. You have somethin' to fear?
 
Tom: No! Not at all. Just.  . . I knew you two we're not to be messed with but. Damn! You we're stabbed, attacked by a spirit, and grazed by a bullet. You and your friend took out four slavers who we're feared far and wide. You and your friends name are all over the airways. Some say you have come to take down the slaving empire.  Some say your here to reunit the USA, some say you are going to join the Sackett Clan to restore order, and some say you're here to drive the spirits out of our world.  
 
Hondo:  We just help those we can. We aren't here to do any of that. Just transporting some sick folks to  Texas.
 
Tom: So you guys are with the spirits?
 
Hondo: Hell no.  
 
Tom: That's  good. Now what can I help you with?  
 
Hondo: Need guns and archery equipment for 4 young ladies.
 
Tom: Lets see what we can do.  
 
By the time Hondo was done  he had 4 hip holsters, 2 shoulder holsters, 4 ankle/ boot holsters, 6 38 special/357 mag revolvers, 4 22 mini revolvers,  2 20 gauge pump shotguns, 1 20 guage coach gun, 2  30-30 lever action rifles, one 243 rifle with scope, one woman's compound bow, one woman's recurve bow, one cross bow,  1000 rounds 358 mag, 1000 rounds 38 special, , 500 rounds 22, 1000 rounds 30-30, 500 rounds 243, 1000 rounds 20 gauge shells, and 200 arrows. I
 
Hondo loaded it into the Bronco and returned to Fernando and the Ladies.

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

"We'll get more giant chicken eggs, stuff to make sandwiches, individual size jars of milk and butcher paper. Oh, before I forget, we got two outdoor mats for the outdoor showers. I'll talk to you later." Jeanette releases the button. "Danielle, here's the radio."
 
Danielle holds out her hand, receives the radio and puts it back in her coat pocket.

[20 minutes later to line up with Hondo's Post]  
 
Fernando waits with Macey for the others to return from the merchants tents so he can go pay for their items. He realizes that they are going to need other things as well: pillows, blankets and sleeping bags. Macey had eaten 1/2 of her lemon ice slushie when Ruth and Joanna comes out of the tent.
 
"You got everything you need?" He asks them, "Do not worry about how much it costs." He tells them.
 
"Yeah. We got everything." Ruth says.
 
"Alight. I realize you will a few more things but lets see what you got and we can get those items later. First, lets pay off what you got." Fernando tells her.
 
Ruth leads him into the tent with Macey in tow, walking to the younger girls who has the gathered items piled up: 16 pair of panties, 8 bars, 4 sports bras, 4 shirts, 4 pairs of pants, 24 pairs of sox, 4 pairs of boots, 4 pairs of jeans, 20 t-shirts, 4 hats 4 pairs of sandals, and 4 robes; which can be broken up into a set for each girl.
 
Fernando looks at the pile and at the girls, before saying and point at other items, "Get yourselves each one of those long (sheepskin) coats, and gloves." He then turns to the merchant, "How much for everything?"
 
The vendor snaps at his fingers for a female assistant to come and count the items as he watches the coats being taken down from the tent support rods. The female assistant holds up two fingers. The vendor turns to Fernando, "Gold or silver?"
 
"Gold, of course." Fernando tells him.
 
"Hmmmmm," the vendor thinks as he sees the gloves being picked up as well, "Three - $10 gold pieces for the pile you got there and five - $10 gold pieces for the coats and gloves."
 
"OK. Throw in one of those sheepskin long coats for this little one and lets make it one - $100 gold coin for everything." Fernando tells him as he shows off the $100 gold coin.
 
The vendor snaps his fingers at the female assistant and points to Macey and then at the sheepskin coat.
 
"Alright wrap this up." He tells the vendor as he points at the pile, before be telling the girls, "Put on the coats. We got other things to get as well." He hands the $100 gold coin to the vendor, and sneaks a $10 coin to the assistant and she hands him Macey's coat. "Thank you." He finally says to them before telling the girls, "Get the bags and lets get out of here."
 
Fernando leads them out of the tent where they meet up with Hondo.
 
"I got everything in the Bronco." Hondo says.
 
"Thanks. I think they are going to need other things - blankets, pillows and sleeping bags before we had back to Val and make lunch and dinner." Fernando says.
 
"You forgot the food and supplies." Hondo says.
 
"Damn... I forgot..." Fernando replies.

After putting away their things in Hondo's Bronco, Fernando, Hondo and the girls head back to the market to get the needed items and supplies. The pillows and pillow cases went for a couple of shotgun shells, as did the blankets. The sleeping bags did go for a much higher price of two - $10 gold coins for the four of them though it could have been paid in shotgun shells, it was more efficient to pay in coins. Another trip to the Bronco free their hands as the load gets dropped off.
 
Hondo takes the girls to buy food and supplies for themselves and for the group to prepare the next couple of days meals. Fernando goes about with Macey, thinking how much these girls have vs. what they need; which the answer was nothing vs. everything. He manages to pick up a few more needed items. He did manage to find a first aide kit for a camper and a cooking and dining set for them, though the camper will have a stove, an additional multi-fuel portable gas stove would not hurt and it did came with the cooking set as the seller did not want to separate them. The vendor threw in 4 more propane/butane gas containers to sweeten the deal - everything for a $10 gold coin.  With all this, Fernando thinks that the girls would be ready with what ever is thrown at them.
 
What all this, Fernando still does not get the hang of the money exchange as many vendors he's buying from are buying for the weight of the gold coin itself and not the $10 value on it, while others are going for the money value stamped on the coin. He waits for Hondo to return with the girls, which only takes a few more minutes for him to show off what he got for them.
