Chapter 6
"Any 3's?"
Nate growls and hands over a card.
"I win! Again!" Vash declares.
The sun is going down. Milly and Knives have switched places, so the Milly drives and Knives is napping in the front seat. Vash and Nate have played about a hundred rounds of Go Fish-and Vash is still undefeated.
"How do you do that? You've got to cheat to win that many times in a row!" Nate cries, waking Knives.
"I wouldn't dream of it!" Vash smiles.
"Well there's no way you can just win a hundred games in a row by luck!"
"What can I say? I have a gift."
"Are you two hens finished bickering? You woke me up!" Knives complains.
"Vash just beat me at Go Fish for the hundredth time," Nate explains.
Knives shrugs. "Big surprise. He has a gift."
Vash beams and Nate sweatdrops.
"Mr. Vash?" Milly asks. "Should I go right or left?"
Vash looks up and sees that they're paused at a fork in the road. The sign pointing to the right says "October City 50 iles" The sign pointing to the left says Tonim City 10 iles.
"Go left. Huh, I had no idea Tonim City was so close. Guess we'll be there earlier than expected."
"So does that mean we're going to Tonim City?" Knives asks.
"Isn't that where Mr. Wolfwood...Oh! I get it!" Milly exclaims and
Meryl figures it out, too. But Knives and Nate are still in the dark.
"What? Why are we here?"
"Is this where you're meeting Nicholas?"
Vash sighs and explains. "This is where Wolfwood was shot. We buried him here, too, because we didn't know any place better. I took us this way so we could prove to Nate that Wolfwood is dead and buried."
"Yes, that's a good idea! You can see his grave and everything!" Meryl adds.
"And talk to the sheriff who found him," Milly pipes up.
Nate just sits, looking uncertain, in the back seat.
"Yeah, yeah. Wake me up when we get to an inn," Knives grumbles and puts his head back on his hand.
