A hot dry wind began to blow through the shrubbery that grew in the
harsh climate of Nevada's Perfection Valley. Beating down the sun did
little to help in keeping the valley cool, the sun was easy to deal with it
was the blasted wind. It added a dryness that made it seem all that much
hotter. It was a lot hotter the Val McKee had ever remembered it. With
the air-conditioner on high he and his wife were headed to where they first
meet and to see people they had not seen in a while. He smiled to himself
because no one knew they were coming, no one but El Blanco.
TREMORS 5: Shocks From The Past
"Burt how many times do I got to tell you, you cannot have guns laying all over the store. It frightens the tourists hurts business." Jodi Chang was not in the mood to deal with Burt today, the heat had gotten to her days ago and was not doing wonders for her personality. Three days, three continues non-stop days of this hot blistering wind blowing. The forecast called for it to continue for another four. It was times like these she thought of leaving Perfection but she always quickly dismissed it because there was a huge profit to be made in this town that is if one knew how to go about it.
"Even you can't deny that me that my expertise become dull. After all if I do not keep sharp this town is likely to come under attack," Burt gave her a smile as he continued to polish the barrel of one of his Winchesters, "Besides you're the one who invited me to show my collection to draw more people to this valley, which I might add I thought was a bad idea from the start. None the less as a good friend I agreed to help you and here I am now being told that I am scaring your costumers."
"Don't start with me Burt," Jodi stated, "When a kid finds a gun the Butterfinger box you've gone to far."
"That one was there because I didn't want people playing with it. It all ready has a broken sight now because when you yelled at the child he dropped it," He countered.
The store was empty in fact it had been empty since the second day if this blasted windstorm. Nancy, Rosality, and Tyler had all gone to Vegas for the week to try and sell some of Nancy's pottery. However that didn't help Jodi's mood any because she now would not be the only seller of Graboid merchandise and people would not be motivated to come to the place that had made these creatures famous. It had been bad enough when Nancy and Mindy sold the Assblaster to those magicians but to take specialized merchandise out of the valley seemed to Jodi a low blow.
It wouldn't have been so bad if Twitchell hadn't been around making a big production over little things. The whole idea of a gun show put on by Burt had him up in arms and he was letting people know it. Yet for the moment there was peace from him, his wife had called him and requested he return home immediately.
Two people around each other and no one else for an extend time, be it only two days in this case, could get honoree with each other, even if they were good friends.
"Burt just don't start," She began but was cut off as the ground started to shake. It seemed El Blanco had decided to pay town a visit today, something he hadn't done for a week. Everything feel silent and neither one moved tell El Blanco was well out of town.
Trying to lighten the mood Burt smiles and says, "At least he's starting to act normal again. Life would get boring if we didn't have to constantly worry about getting eaten." Finally something allowed for a laugh and the air was cleared between the two friends, even if for only a little while.
"What the hell!" Val tried to keep the truck going straight as all of a sudden it veered as if a large lump had gone under the road. Pulling over to the shoulder he began to open the door.
"Be careful," a touch of concern in Rhonda's voice.
"Don't worry there aint no danger out here anymore. Ol' Burt took care of the last Graboid in South America." He smiled at her and got out of the car to see if they had a flat or if something was wrong with the road. As he walked around the car he didn't see anything that would have caused what they experienced but coming down the side of the road straight towards him was a dirt trial.
Twitchell was in a huff, humiliated in front of those he was sent to keep inline. Whatever was going on at home better be damn well important. He had been so close to being able to get rid of Gummer. His little gun show had put the public in danger that kid who found the gun in the candy box could have been hurt. Most people would have felt bad for showing the kid where the gun was in the first place but Twitchell needed something to nail Burt on.
As he reached into the passenger set to get his sun glasses he noticed a glint of metallic off in the distance almost like a car pulled over on the side of the road. As he got closer he saw it wasn't a car but a truck and El Blanco had decided to pay it a visit.
He pulled up beside it and saw that there were two people inside of it, a man and a woman. Unrolling his window he waited for them to do the same. When they had he introduced himself, "I'm officer Twitchell in charge of making sure no one hurts the indangered species. You didn't do anything to hurt, damage, or maim or local wildlife did you?" He so secretly hoped they did so he could take them in.
"Endangered species my ass, that's a fricken Graboid," the man said, "Why hasn't Burt gotten rid of it, does he even know it's here!?"
"Calm down sir, we know it's a Grabiod," Twitchell was not impressed in the slightest with this man and wished he could just leave them to be eaten, "This area is protected by the U.S. Government act of Endangered species. Hunting, killing, or anything else that would harm El Blanco is stircktly illegal. Mr. Gummer is fully aware of this." He tired to make it sound like he cared but it came out unmotivated and sarcastic. "Now do you need a lift into town do to your situation of three flat tires?"
