Next. The team was sent by someone in the Cutters, but its mission was not officially sanctioned by the gang. Perhaps there’s an internecine conflict going on between factions within the gang, and the leader of one faction sent his soldiers out to eliminate a member of the rival faction. (The corollary of this is, of course, that the faction who sent the team is maneuvering against Blake, because I’m obviously one of Blake’s good little boys.) Or maybe it’s not even that big. Maybe it’s just someone settling a score. If Bart and/or Ranger were still around, I’d give this one the big gold star. But now? As far as I know, Bart was Ranger’s only loyal supporter, and Bart himself didn’t have any following of his own. Sure, some people were slotted off when Blake brought in Bubba the cracker as war boss, but those people would see no percentage in having me splattered. Conclusion: likelihood minimal.
