Chapter 33- Can't miss it

( Quill's P.O.V.) 

" Man...that was close." Ellie said as Uncle Joel put me down. 

Bill walked over to Ellie, as she stuck her arm out to do a handshake.

" Uh, Ellie." She said, then she got hand-cuffed to a pipe.

" What the hell dude!" I yelled, and then I got a gun in my face, and Uncle Joel was forced to his knee's.

" You got any bites, anything sproutn'?" Bill asked.

" Goddamnit Bill we're CLEAN!" Uncle Joel yelled, right as Ellie pulled the pipe out of the wall and hit Bill.

" Ow!" Bill said as his gun dropped.

" Stop." Uncle Joel said, as he stopped Ellie. 

" You done?" Uncle Joel asked.

" Am I done....?" Bill asked as he held his left hand. " You come into my house, you set of all my traps, you damn near break my shotn' arm. Who the fuck is that punk, and what is she doing here?" 

" We are none of your goddamn business," Ellie said, as she walked towards Bill. " And we're here because you owe Joel some favors. And you can start by taking these off!"

" I owe Joel some favors?" Bill asked as he turned. " Is that a joke?" 

" I'll just cut to the case," Uncle Joel said. " I need a car."

" Well, it is a joke," Bill huffed. " Joel needs a car. Well, if I had one, which I sure as hell don't, what makes you think I would give it to you? Yeah, sure Joel, take my car. Take all my food to while you're at it." 

" By the looks of it, it looks like you can lose some of that food." Ellie told him from beside me.  

Bill totally ignored her.

" Look, whatever favor's you think I owe you, it ain't worth much." 

" Actually Bill, they are." 

" Well, it doesn't matter, because I don't have a car that works."

" But there is one in this town." 

" Parts. There are parts in this town."

" Where?" 

" It's on the other side of town. You help me get it, and maybe I can put something together. But after this, I owe you nothn'."  

While they were talking, I picked the lock Ellie's handcuffs with one of my hairpins.

" Keep on my ass. The whole town's booby-trapped."

" Can't-miss it." Ellie and I said at the same time, as I took the handcuffs and pipe and put them in my backpack.
