The aftermath is complicated by injuries and recovery, but Vasquez thinks they might have things figured out right up until the morning Faraday is nowhere to be found. The rest of the seven split into two groups with a promise to meet in Amador City in a few months' time.

(In which Vasquez and Faraday compare dick sizes, argue about Vasquez's first name, mend a literal fence, and spend some quality time in a barn.)
Last chapter!! It's actually done! ...kinda wish I'd hit 100k since the odds of me finishing something this long again are slim, but still the longest thing I've ever completed!
