"No one behind us for miles Boss. We lost 'em good."
The tall skinny man caught up to the other two.
"Good job JJ. Winter's coming. We need to git to Mexico. Once we cross the border we'll be fine. We'll find a place to hold up. There we can plan our return, git our money, and scoot on back here."
"Mexico is a three day ride. We need to git Boss."
"You take the lead Satch. I'll ride middle and JJ can bring up the rear. JJ you better make sure an' watch our back so there's no trouble."
All three men nodded and rode hard.

*MARIA! MARIA HURRY AND HELP ME WITH THE CLOTHES!!"
Lupita called to her sister from the ranch. She was struggling with two baskets of clothing. The two girls lived with their younger sister Anna, their mother Lucia, and their brother's wife Mercy.
Their father and brother were off fighting on the southern end of the border. They've been gone for over six months now and according to the last letter the women received, it might be another year at least before they return.
"Okay Lupie. You don't have to yell all the time! Sheesh..."
"Well I wouldn't yell if you would stop being so lazy and help out around here."
"Yeah yeah whatever."
Maria grabbed the basket from her sister and the two women headed up the stairs.
Maria was the middle sister. She was the most beautiful of the three. She had a thin frame with long straight black hair. She was almost Indian in appearance but her curves and sexy spanish brought you back to her Mexican roots. Lucia was the oldest and a recent widow. She was a little bigger than her Maria. She was average build except where her breasts were concerned. She had very large breasts that stood out a bit from the rest of her body. Her hair was shoulder length and curly. She was only 29 but her face seemed a bit older. She was still in mourning after having lost her husband of 14 years. Because of a horseriding accident when she was 10 she was never able to have children. She always seemed bitter and the family just thought it was because of this so they put up with it.
Maria, at 26 years of age, had never been married. This was a product of where their ranch was located. They were up in Northern Mexico, deep in the woods, and about 80 miles from any other form of civilization.
As they finished folding the clothes, they could hear their mother shouting.
"Chicas apurate!!!"
Lucia was angry. Dinner was almost ready and here her three daughters were nowhere to be found. Lucia was a relatively young woman at 49. She was the last of her sisters to marry. She was still an attractive woman. She had brown hair that was always up in a bun. She looked a lot like a whiter version of Maria--whiter, older, and bigger in the breasts, ass, and hips.
Lupita came down into the kitchen, followed by Maria, to find their mother diligently preparing to serve dinner. Mercy was setting the table for the five women.
"I'm sorry mama. Maria was being lazy again and it took us forever to get the cothes done."
"Oh mama she's such a puta!"
"MARIA! Watch your mouth!"
"I'm sorry mama. But it's true!"
Lucia folded her arms in disgust at what her sister called her and walked out to the table. She sat next to Mercy and drank some water.
"Stop being so mean to your sister Maria."
"I'm sorry mama but she's completely mean to me."
Maria let out a sigh as she spoke with her mother.
"Mija what's wrong? You're always upset or bored or something? Tell me what's on your mind?"
"I don't know mama. I just feel like something's missing from my life. I feel like this need or urge to do something or be something but I don't know what it is."
"Well let me tell you something. I've learned that if you stay calm and patient all your desires come true. Just be good and work hard. You'll feel better in no time!"
"Thanks mama."
The two women hugged and proceeded to sit down at the table where both Mercy and Lupita were already beginning to serve the plates with food.
"Now if I can only get Anna to get her head out of the clouds and her butt in this chair then we can actually sit down and eat!"
Almost on cue Anna walked into the room.
"I'm here mama. I'm sorry I was late. I fell in the mudhole and was trying to get cleaned up. Sorry guys!"
The women laughed. They were used to this already from Anna. She was shorter and much rounder than any of the other women. She had her mother's hair but that was it. She had a round ass and huge breasts but was at least 40 pounds overweight. She was always clumsy, ever since she was a baby. The girls were used to it and Anna had grown accustomed to them laughing at her.
The women sat down to enjoy a nice meal and then close out a good night.

"You see Boss there it is. I found it last night just like I said. I checked all around thar ain't 'nother house for miles. This place is perfect."
Boss and JJ were huddled behind some trees.
"How'dja find this place JJ? Shit we been riding right up along side it and din't see it?"
"I found it just in my normal scouting routine Boss. I was just trying to find different rides in and sure enough I stumbled across this ranch. An' look Boss, they got a farm right off to the right that's also hidden real good!"
"Okay. SATCH!"
Satch ran to his partners.
"Satch you go ahead and come up the back door. It'll be dawn soon and they might be wakin' up. We don't know how many guns they got in thar and so we need to surprise 'em. JJ you go ahead and climb that tree to the left. You see the one that branches out to that open winder? I'll go right in through the front."
The men moved swiftly. In a matter of moments they were in position.
******
Maria was the first one to wake up. She looked around the home and found that everyone else was in a deep sleep. She needed to go to the bathroom badly so she grabbed a cover and headed out the front door to the outhouse.
As she opened the door she was caught off guard by a large man who was approaching. Before she could react he rushed up on her and grabbed her by the hair.
"AIIIEEEE"
"NOW BOYS! NOW!"
JJ slid in through the open bedroom window startling Lucia. He quickly pointed his two guns in her face.
"How many men yer got? HOW MANY MEN?!?!?!"
"Ay dios mio...estamos sola...THERE ARE NO MEN!"
Lucia was terrified. JJ rushed her and grabbed her by the hair dragging her down to the living room. By this time Boss was already in with Maria on the floor in the middle of the room. JJ tossed Lucia there as well.
Satch headed up the stairs to see who else was in the house. Mercy, who shared her room with Maria, tried to run past him but he was able to grab her quickly.
"Where do you think you're going missy? HEY JJ COME UP AND GRAB THIS!"
JJ ran up the stairs grabbing Mercy from Satch. He threw her over his shoulder and carried her down the stairs.
"DEJAME CABRON! HIJO DE LA CHINGADA! DEJAME!!!"
JJ tossed Mercy onto the pile.
BANG BANG BANG
Gunshots rang loudly from up the stairs. JJ and Boss looked at one another and then JJ turned and ran up the stairs.
"GET DOWN YOU IDIOT!"
BANG
JJ ducked down as a shotgun shot barely missed him. Satch motioned to him by sticking his two fingers out indicating it was two people but only one gun. He made some movements with his fingers and JJ quickly got it. JJ, being long and lanky, reached up and was able to sneakily slide along side the left of the door. Satch was crouched down to the far right. JJ quickly pushed the door open then rolled away. Lupita, holding a shotgun, ran out to find Satch holding a gun staring right at her. The two of them were face to face with their guns pointed at each other.
"Que quieres aqui puto? Eh??? Contestame!"
Lupita was a tough woman and knew how to handle a gun. Anna was standing behind her very nervous.
"Habla English?"
Satch tried asking.
"Si. What do you want here cabron?"
"Well first I want you to put down that shotgun and then join the rest of the women downstairs."
"Porque-Why would I do that?"
Just then JJ appeared from behind the women and put his gun to the back of Lupita's head.
"Well because if you don't then it's going to be awfully fucking messy in this house."
The two men winked and smiled as Lupita handed Satch the shotgun. She and Anna were pushed down the stairs to join the rest of their family. Boss was standing over the women who were now hugging each other in fear.
"Good work boys. JJ you go and make sure no one was aroused by them bullets. Satch go ahead and secure the house. Make sure everything is taken care of."
Both men nodded and immediately did as told. Boss just sat down in a rocking chair staring at the five women. He was looking at Maria and for some reason she didn't seem afraid. There was something different about her but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"All good Boss. Not even the birds in the trees were ruffled by this bitch's gun!"
"We're all clear here too Boss."
"Good."
Boss turned to the women. He grabbed Anna and put his gun to the top of her head.
"Okay you."
He pointed to Lucia who was clearly the oldest. He already figured she was the mother.
"What is this place?"
Lucia didn't answer. He cocked back his pistol to show her he had no fear and would easily kill her daughter of 19.
"This is my husband's ranch."
"Where is he?"
"He's off fighting in the south."
Maria interrupted her mother. Lucia shot her a tough look but it didn't seem to phase Maria. She continued to speak to Boss.
