Hell's Belles Page #3

---

You want your man dead?

Get him to the hospital

and don't say anything to the cops.

Come on. Come here.

Easy.

Watch my leg.

I'm gonna get you for this,

cowboy!

This is just the beginning... friend!

When we get him, I'm gonna tear

his head off with my bare hands.

No, you won't, Gip.

Because he's mine.

All mine.

Tampa... are we still

going to Mexico?

Hell, yes, baby.

Come on.

Come on!

Takin' me home

to meet your mother?

Don't flatter yourself.

What are we doing here?

This is an old mining shack.

Last time I was here,

it was filled with all kinds of junk.

So?

I might find something here

to help even up the odds.

I'm tired, I'm hungry,

and I'm cold.

Don't you ever get tired

of these little games?

Why don't you take a break, huh?

- What's the matter?

- A snake.

- Where?

- There!

It's okay.

Aren't you going

to do something about it?

I'll get around to it.

Now! Please get rid of it!

Okay, but don't move.

You gotta watch 'em.

Be careful.

These things are fierce

if they're wounded.

Stop it! He's got me!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Why, you miserable crud.

Stay here and keep still.

Bye-bye, doll.

You okay?

You dumb jerk.

You could have killed me!

You're okay.

You've got a bike.

What are you chasing me for?

Gotta take one

of the bikes back.

What?

Both those guys are hurt.

They need a bike to get to a doctor.

You've gotta be kidding.

Come on, are you gonna

get on that thing?

Go choke.

Turn that thing around

and let's go!

- Stupid...

- You want another one?

Then let's go.

I think his arm's broken,

but this oughta hold him

till you get him to a doctor.

Let's get him to the bike.

Know how to get back?

No.

Go back down the canyon

the way you came

till you come to the

railroad tracks, turn right,

you follow them north,

then you'll come to the nearest town.

Hey, man?

Thanks.

You actually look like

you feel sorry for them.

What of it?

First you bust them up,

then you put them back together again.

Doesn't make sense.

You wouldn't understand.

You are without a doubt the biggest

jackass on God's green earth.

I'm glad to see you're

in a good mood again.

How come you didn't cave

those guys' heads in

instead of helping them?

You're such a lady.

They wouldn't have done

the same for you.

Maybe not,

but I'm not out for blood.

Just want to get my bike back.

All this for a damn motorcycle?

That damn motorcycle's

worth about $2,000.

That's a year's payments

on my ranch.

It's gonna start showing

a profit next year.

If I can't meet those bank notes,

there goes three years of hard work

right down the drain.

Not counting all the time spent

in the garage saving up.

What about you?

How do you earn your keep?

I only work when I have to.

Well... I didn't seem to be

going anywhere, either,

till I bought that land.

Now it's growing up,

and so am I.

What does that mean?

It means I can see

both sides of the coin.

That's why I can't hate your friends.

The last two years, they were

the closest thing to family I ever had.

What happened?

I was accused of

cheating on my man.

Tampa.

- Were you?

- No.

I had the feeling

he was cooling off,

so I messed around with

another guy to make him jealous.

We got caught.

We weren't doing anything.

That lying little b*tch

Cherry swore different.

The guy got

beat up and run off,

and I was thrown

to the wolves -

up for grabs,

anyone, anytime.

So how come

I wind up with you?

I don't like it

any more than you do!

Okay, okay.

Made any plans yet?

Looks like I can't go back.

You'd want to after all

they've done to you?

You still feel for him.

I can see you've never felt

that strong about anyone.

I have the good sense to know

when to walk away from a bad bargain.

It's not always that easy.

I wonder what

happened to them guys, Tampa?

Probably broke down.

Don't worry about it.

You want me

to go looking for them?

Hell, no.

You'd get lost so bad out there,

you'll be riding in circles for a month.

I don't think

they're coming back.

Ever.

I don't need

none of your opinions.

Tampa, I get the feeling that nut

is out there watching us all the time.

Next, you'll be

seeing ghosts, baby.

Hey, Tampa.

Give the cowboy

back his bike.

He's been bad news, man.

You guys are the biggest bunch

of old ladies I've ever seen.

There's five of us, not counting

the women, and there's only one of him!

Oh, yeah?

There used to be ten of us.

The cowboy gets around.

I don't give a damn

about the cowboy.

I'm keeping the bike!

Another day or so,

we're gonna be in Nogales.

So at least shape up and act

like you've got some guts.

If I'm not back in an hour,

the bike's yours.

Just bear right at that last fork,

and it'll wind up at the highway,

about 15 miles,

the other side of Mammoth.

Okay?

Where you been, honey?

Me and Crazy John's been

laying a little trap for the cowboy.

- Where's Gip?

- He's wandering around somewhere.

Tampa, you think that fool cowboy

will come around tonight?

You'd better believe it.

But that's what makes good strategy...

knowing what the other guy's

gonna do before he does it.

I got it all figured.

What's he gonna do?

He's gonna come sneaking around,

trying to mess up the bikes.

- Yeah.

- What'd you do?

All them pretty little bikes in a circle,

just waiting for the cowboy.

As soon as he

steps in the middle... zoom.

Zoom?

A snare trap.

A rope tied to

a branch of a tree.

He's gonna be

hanging like a rose,

just waiting to be picked.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, Gip!

You go around that way,

I'll go through here.

We'll get him as

he comes down for the bike.

Right.

Old Tampa's got him again.

Oh, you moron.

How did I get up here?

You dumb jackass.

Oh... I'm sorry I startled you.

Hold me.

Please hold me.

Hey, look what

he done to our camp.

- He's making me real mad.

- Shut up.

Let's pack

and get out of here.

Where are we going?

We're gonna move

to higher ground.

We're gonna be

on top of him for a change.

Get the stuff

and let's get out of here.

Let's go. Come on!

What's the matter?

Whatcha doing?

- Thinking.

- About what?

Just things.

- Dan?

- Yeah?

What happens if you

don't get your bike back?

- I'll get it back.

- But if you don't?

It's funny,

I hadn't even thought of that.

I set my mind in one direction,

and things usually work out.

It's not always the way I planned,

but they work out.

But if this doesn't work out?

I guess I'll start all over again.

From scratch.

You've got guts.

- Relax.

- I'm so cold.

That better?

I could get to liking this.

So could I.

Hey, Rabbit,

Crazy John.

Keep watch.

Where's Gip?

Aw, that big goof.

He fell in a hole somewhere.

Hey, Gip! Gippo!

You gotta keep

your eye on him all the time.

Running out on me, huh?

Morning.

- Where are you off to?

- I thought I'd do a little scouting.

See what damage was done

last night,

and what they're up to

his morning.

- Should I wait here?
