Kill Ringo

Madeline knew that if she killed Ringo she would earn extra credibility among the Gangers who saw his existence as an affront to their pilfering. Madeline accidently knocked an old tin can off the counter and Ringo turned his attention ever so slightly to the racket. That was all that Madeline needed. She moved faster than a panther as she drew a concealed blade and stabbed Ringo in the throat.

A groan that turned into a gurgle of bubbly blood covered the dirty tile floor of the gas station. He writhed as she stepped away, his life leaving him as fast as his pumping blood. That was one less fighter in the town. Though Madeline knew it would raise the guard of the townsfolk.
