A Chapter by Whitney Shaw

Next day everyone in the jail was waking up and they went outside. 
When Big Ben and White Hawk were walking outside, a man bumped into Big Ben. 
"Watch where you're going," said Big Ben. 
"What did you say?" asked the man. 
"I didn't mumble, you herd me," said Big Ben. 
"Come say it to my face red skin," said the man. 
White Hawk was just standing there listening and watching. All the Native Indians herd what the man called Big Ben. He didn't realize the Indians were behind him, he turned around and just laughed and walked away. Back at the office, Sheriff Tim was gathering paper work on Big Ben and White Hawk, but could not find any real crime. 
"Bring Big Ben and White Hawk to the office," asked Sheriff Tim. 
So some of the guards went outside and took Big Ben and White Hawk to Sheriff Tim. They walked in and sat down. 
"What's the matter, this is a side I've never seen before, especially you Big Ben," said Sheriff Tim. 
Big Ben looked down with shame. White Hawk raised his head and looked on his right and saw the shadow figure. Then White Hawk looked back at Sheriff Tim and said, 
"What's the matter you afraid," said White Hawk. 
"No, you know better," said Sheriff Tim. 
"Do I Sheriff?" asked White Hawk with a grin. 
"White Hawk stop, it's over," said Big Ben. 
"No it's not over until they say it's over, these pale faces should get what they deserve," White Hawk getting angry. 
"What are you talking about?" asked Big Ben. 
"I want revenge on the white eyes," said White Hawk. 
He looked at Sheriff Tim, he felt something behind him.
"The white eyes took what was ours, they have taken our children and have flicked them, they have taken their hair, they have murdered them with no cause," said White Hawk full of hatred. 
"That's the day you started hating the white men?" asked Sheriff Tim. 
Then the shadow figure disappeared. 
"That's the day I became ashamed," said White Hawk sitting down. 
"Son we all have problems; a lot of people have it harder than you and don't give up. You have to let the past go and start thinking about today's generation," said the Indian officer. 
"Alright get out of here, go home," said Sheriff Tim. 
So they both got up and went to the pay phone and called their father. Running Water drove up to the station and picked them up and drove them home. 
When they arrived home they saw a moving van, people were carrying things inside the home. 
"Tokhiye la hunwo" (where are you going)?" asked Big Ben in the Lakota language. 
"Hohahe kola" (welcome friend) long time," said Running Water. 
"Tokhesk he yaun he kola" (how are you friend)?" asked Jimmy. 
"Washte" (good)," said Running Water. 
"Does White Hawk remember me since I left?" asked Jimmy. 
"Yes he does," said Running Water. 
"What is he doing?" asked White Hawk. 
"Oh you know father, he always greets people that move to the Reservation, and he's bringing him over here, why is he bringing him over here?" asked Big Ben. 
"Sons remember Jimmy?" asked Running Water. 
"No, just kidding, come here you, it's good to see you, are you staying for good this time?" asked White Hawk. 
"It's good to be home, and yes I am here to stay for good," said Jimmy. 
"Hey you want to come over and watch a movie with us?" asked White Hawk. 
"Sure lets go," said Jimmy. 
So they walked to their house and went inside. 
"Spotted Eagle, what are you doing here?" asked Big Ben. 
"Dad called so I came down to see how everything is going," said Spotted Eagle. 
"Hey brother it's great to see you," said White Hawk. 
"You to brother, hey Jimmy how are you?" asked Spotted Eagle. 
"Good, it's good to see you again," said Jimmy. 
"We're going to watch a movie, NUKA, COME ON WE'RE WATCHING A MOVIE," yelled Big Ben. 
Nuka came running down the stairs and sat down on the couch next to Spotted Eagle. They started to watch a movie and ate popcorn. When the movie was over, it was late, so White Hawk walked Jimmy home and sat down on Jimmy's porch. 
"What made you move back to the Reservation?" asked White Hawk. 
"I guess I missed living out here, down where I lived it's nothing like this, it's full of people, cars, tall buildings, it feels like you're in a cage and that you can only go one way, and you can't move, but here your free, you have room to run, watch the buffalos come into your yard," said Jimmy. 
"Wow strong words Jimmy," said White Hawk. 
"It's good to be home," said Jimmy. 
"We're all glad you came back," said White Hawk. 
White Hawk got up and walked home he went inside and went to bed. Next morning they came downstairs and their father was cooking them breakfast, he brought it to the table and ate. It was very good. When White Haw was finished eating he was on his way to see Jimmy, and Jimmy was on his way to White Hawks house, they bumped into each other. 
"Where are you going?" asked Jimmy. 
"Your house, where are you going?" asked White Hawk. 
"Your house," said Jimmy. 
They started laughing. Two teenagers and Mary was walking and saw Jimmy. 
"Haw, keys un he" (hello, how are you)?" asked the teenager in the Lakota language. 
"Washte" (good)," said White Hawk. 
"Jimmy, how are you?" asked Mary. 
"I am good, long time," said Jimmy. 
"Yes to long," said Mary. 
"White Hawk?" asked Jimmy. 
"What?" said White Hawk. 
"Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" asked Jimmy. 
"That's fine with me," said White Hawk. 
"Good, tomorrow then," said Jimmy. 
So Jimmy walked back to his house and White Hawk walked to his house. As White Hawk was walking home three men jumped White Hawk and threw him in their car. White Hawks father was waiting for him to come home but he never came home.
