"ma?" now there's a woman worth remembering, even for benny. "she used to be chief." beautiful and harsh as the desert she called home, shrewd and always carrying the interests of the tribe above all else. "bingo challenged her for leadership 'cause he thought she was giving me special treatment. said she'd gone soft. the fink got lucky." bullshit, and everyone knew it. but the reason didn't matter; a challenge was a challenge. and bingo winning was proof enough that maria didn't deserve to lead anymore.
just like benny sticking a knife in the fucker's neck was proof he didn't deserve to lead anymore, either. he's told six as much—it's how the chairmen became the chairmen, after all. benny reaches down to tap the holster where his 9mm rests. "maria ain't just called that because she's got our lady painted on the grip, you know."
