"I don't why you moved us to this ranch, now." Mandy Murphy told her husband. "Our son was doing just fine as an MFP[Motor Force Patrol]officer, and he liked it, too. Now, he works but his heart is broken. He never laughs or smiles any more, either." "He needed to learn honor." John Murphy replied. "JOHN! That was justifiable mass homicide. Both the evaluation board and jury decided that." "He killed frontier royalty."
Cutting Fluid. Devised by the Followers of the Apocalypse in 2282, it rapidly discovered afterwards that marijuana based rubber, fuel, medicines, and plastics could be mass produced. By 2283, it was found that marijuana could be refined. Motor vehicles and horses began to prowl the wasteland. And the Wasteland Rangers and other law forces needed help policing the roads, the republic of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Louisiana created the MFP.
"Well, he did fully reactivate that tornado bunker. And maybe he can find happiness here." Mandy grunted. Long assumed to contaminated, Jaxon used his PIPBOY'S geiger counter to find it wasn't contaminated. In fact, it was a U.S. army recon bunker abandoned in 2010. Jaxon made it his own. He used a borrowed Mr. Handy to clean the place. Afterwards, he kept it up. The sole flooring covering was the doormat. The rest was cleaned with a sweeper. And he'd decorated the concrete walls with MFP symbols and images. The icy stare from her husband ended the conversation.
Mandy remembered the day which her husband considered to be infamous. The family's battered Land Rover pulled over to the deserted roadside park. A mother, father, and the little boy and his chihuahua dog mix. They were travelling to Tulsa from Brownsville. Sans air conditioning, they drove at night and rested during the day. The boy played happily with his little dog as the man and woman made camp. Encamped alongside a boulder, Maxon and his partner, Chris Henderson both parked. They were on CEDAR[Crime Defense And Rescue]patrol. Unlike pre-war police forces whom had discontinued rural road patrols over fuel costs, the MFP simply stationed officers in rural areas with no onsite law enforcement. While the two cops had eighty felony arrests to their credit, but they took more pride in the people, dogs, and cats they helped, too.
About twenty horsemen rode up to the man and woman. The little boy stopped playing as his wee dog hid behind him. Jesse James the 38th sneered at the adult male present. "You're trespassin' on our turf." "We'll leave then." "Too late for that!" Cole Younger the 279th began to draw a lever action shotgun from it's scabbard. The little boy reacted. He drew a Joplin Spring Pistol from the war bag. The boy had customized the straight pull revolver with a laser sight he'd traded some holotapes for. The red dot was on Cole's head when he fired. TWANGGG!
CRUNCH! Cole fell lifelessly from the saddle, a .50 caliber steel ball bearing having demolished part of his brain. "YOU DONE A'MURDERED OUR BROTHER!" yelled Belle Star the 88th as she jerked a Remington 1875 replica .357 magnum for its holster.
"CHRIS, LET'S ROLL!" "YA KNOW IT, JAXON!" Siren blaring and blue light flashing, the MFP race buggy roared towards the unfolding scene of chaos. Chris blared the traditional police announcement over the buggy's P.A. "MOTOR FORCE PATROL! STOP VIOLENCE NOW!"
John Wesley Hardin the 108th fired a action carbine at MFP vehicle. The .357 magnum struck Chris in the lower arm. "THAT'S IT, YOU HONORARY CITIZENS!" screamed JAXON. He hit the gas and plowed his car through the mob of horsemen. Men, women, and horses were knocked flying as the MFP vehicle did the Lord's work.
In the last micro seconds of his life, Jesse James 38th screamed hideously just before the race buggy's wheel splattered his head. The other horse folk present began blasting away with Remingtons and Winchesters at the MFP. Jaxon spun around and yanked his Taurus 617 service revolver and dumped it's seven round cylinder into the mob of horsemen by firing out the window one handed. He got two more outlaws and wounded three more, too.
The Joplin Spring Pistol TWANGED again. CRUNCH! A female outlaw fell dead. Texas John Slaughter the XXIII snarled. "You don't touch an outlaw, whore." As he back shot the fleeing woman. "A hero from 75 meters !"snarled Jaxon as he yanked a fiber optic sighted 1911A1 .45 pistol from its holster. Meanwhile, the Land Rover's driver produced a Lightning Tech electro-blunderbuss. He fired at Deacon Jim Miller the 401st. The gun's power pack was drained in one shot. But Miller and his horse were instantly vaporized by one gigawatt of artificial lightning. The driver dropped down to reload the breech loading weapon. "Should have gotten a Neo-Beretta SMG or a Multiplas rifle instead." murmured Jaxon he dumped a full ten round mag instead into four more outlaws. A storm of bullets riddled his vehicle's trunk. Chris had meanwhile given himself combat first aid. Later, he'd need three operations to fully repair his wrecked arm.
The outlaws were disarray as the MFP vehicle stopped. "MOTOR FORCE PATROL" yelled Jaxon as he dismounted and retrieved a replica Beretta Model 3 SMG by ARMSTEK. The weapon was an improved hybrid of MP40, Beretta 1938, and Greasegun SMG features. He chose it over the RHINO-15 assault carbine. He figured the SMG was better up close than an assault carbine. The RHINO-15 was a gas piston solid conversion of the Ruger AR556, too.
The revolver was on his left hip and the 1911A1 was on his right hip, also. A medical kit was slung over his right shoulder. He checked on Chris. He rebandaged Chris's arm, and put a pressure splint on it. He checked the woman. "Dead." The man, the boy, and the puppy were now in a culvert.
"LAWMAN! WE GON' KILL YOU FER BUSTIN' UP OUR FUN!" yelled Texas John Slaughter XXIII. All the remaining outlaws lined up for a cavalry charge. Jaxon jumped in the culvert along the three would-be victims. He extended the folding stock to his shoulder. "CHARGE!" yelled Texas John Slaughter XXIII. Jaxon aimed through the submachinegun's front sight hood. A shotgun wielding outlaw's image filled the front sight hood, and Jaxon stroked the trigger. Three bullets knocked the outlaw from his saddle. A Winchester cracked but its bullet sailed harmlessly overhead. Jaxon got him with another burst. A saber wielding outlaw charged him on horseback. A burst taught him what century it was now.
Dismounting his horse, an outlaw screamed. "You die now, lawman!" He foot raced towards Jaxon's position, and he was firing twin revolvers as he ran, too. A burst from Jaxon's smg killed him. Jaxon reloaded as the outlaws now regrouped.
