~540 words...

"Ezra, what is it this time?" Chris asked with the hint of warning in his voice.

"Instead of celebrating of our recent diamonds treasure I advised Vin that we should buy ourselves a new gear to dig, is that a problem?" Ezra asked and could feel himself shaking as the anger rising at his voice.

"With you there is always something up and you won't dig, I don't know why I bother to take you… after all you are just a cheater to us." Chris barked at him angrily, shaken at the feeling that he felt toward the conman, not knowing why it hurts so much.

"Just a cheater to you?" Ezra asked as he took one step forward him.

"Yes, you are." Chris confirmed and turned away.

"Nathan, I could use your help right now," Chris called and waited for the doc to come closer to him, and then he added, "I need you to replace Ezra and digging with Vin."

Nathan exchanged look between Chris and Ezra, not knowing what occurred between them, but decide not to say a word, probably Vin will tell him inside.

Ezra Standish pushed passes Chris's shoulder and walked through the camp collecting his things, and before leaving, Chris could hear him saying to Josiah: "It was nice working with you Mr. Sanchez."

"What do you mean it was nice working? Wait… where do you think that you are going?" Josiah asked him and tried to keep up with him, but being not succeeded.

Josiah then walked toward Chris, "You want to tell me what it was all about?"

"No, it doesn't matter; you have nothing to worry about." Chris replied and then he was back standing in the entrance of the cave watching the two men working.

When nightfall came, as darkness filled them, the light of fire and scenes of meal were in the air, the team minus one began to talk on the recent event; Ezra's missing, or rather quit.

"He'll be back," Buck said a bit of cheerful, while glaring at his long time friend, "Some of his stuff is still here, though I've noticed that your car is missing."

"He stole my car?" Chris was furious, and then he added, "He is a cheater and a thief now, I don't know what I was thinking taking him to be in our team."

"He didn't steal it, he left a note, and he just borrowed it." Buck came to the conman defended although he wasn't present.

"Borrowed? Oh… I have no idea why I bother to get him on my team in the first place; he is nothing but a cheater and a thief to us." Chris muttered.

"What else did he wrote in the note?" Josiah asked with curiosity as he ignored Chris's voice.

"We don't need him!" Chris voice was heard.

"You might not need him, but he is our friend." JD pointed toward Chris, and waited to Buck to read the content of the note.

"Well… what did he wrote?" Nathan urged Buck.

"He wrote that he'll come in the morning to collect his things and move on," Buck replied as he sighed heavily before turning to glare at Chris, "Since when his words doesn't count?"
