Beaten up
Chechi felt weak more and more
Hadn't eaten for a while
The revealing coming near
She seldom was giving any smile
Her head ached as she closed her eyes
She couldn't remember a thing
"Why don't take a little walk?", she thought
A distraction was never wrong
The air did good her lungs and mind
As she walked through the plains
The distance to the town was growing
At last she reached the rails
She walked ahead, poising on the rails
And feeling like a kid
When she realized a body
Laying in the dirt
Aside of the rails she knelt down beside him
And eyed him up in distance
He didn't seem to breath, nor to be conscious
He had bruises and blisters
Chechi went closer, a little afraid
The poor guy had been beaten up
And she couldn't know, if those who'd done this
Were still around or gone away
She eager tried to wake him up
But she didn't manage to
He needed a doctor, that was clear
But heaving him to town she couldn't do
As she fastened her run
Her feet moved up and down
As fast as she could
Heading for the town
"3Gun! 3Gun!", she called out.
"Please! Follow me! Don't have any doubt!"
Just as always when Chechi came along
3Gun was confused again
"What's the matter this time?", he asked
"On our way to the rails I'll tell you!", she called
She turned around, running back
3Gun followed, not losing her track
When they reached the body
3Gun gasped in surprise
How did this man get in this behavior?
Who had done this? And where were the guys?
