Yep, that went well.
That was all Connor could think of ; a line from a TV show he had watched he didn't even know how long ago. Some crazy sci fi western show Fox had on for like two episodes before yankin. He had seen a few episodes in a bar somewhere when there was nothing else entertaining going on.
Connor hissed as the needle pierced his skin. "Quit yer whinin'," Murphy growled as he tugged the thread through his twin's side, stitching up a knife wound before it got infected.
"If ye stopped pointin' yer feckin gun at anythin' that feckin' moved," Connor hissed out between clenched teeth, before screwing his eyes shut against the pain. A couple of jackasses had tried to get the jump on the brothers as they looked for a place to bed down for the night. They were on foot, again. They had found some transportation out of that dinky town after Murphy had threatened the old man, however that truck didn't make but 70 miles down the road before it crapped out. So they hoofed it down the road, searching for someplace safe. Little did they know they had wandered into someone's "territory." And that someone didn't take kindly to new people who were not quick to make restitution for "trespassing."
"Hold ta feck still, Conn," Murphy said. "I will sit on ye n not tink twice."
Shoving his bloody hand up into his hair, Connor gripped tight, tucking his face into his bent elbow, trying to stay as still as possible. He let the anger burn through his system, anger at himself, anger at Murphy and anger at the fuckers who jumped them. The anger distracted from the pain some.
But not completely, he thought as he bit into his bottom lip drawing more blood.
They got away by the skin of their teeth, both of them hurt. Murphy had what looked like a broken nose, and Connor had stab wound to his ribs. He was lucky the fucker with the five inch blade had hit a rib instead of slipping between them. Otherwise, Murphy might have become an only child, something they were both aware of, but neither spoke about.
