Chapter 4A Chapter by Whitney ShawAs they arrived in Montana they were devastated at what the town have become, some buildings were burned to the ground, some half way burned. "Wow Montana has changed a lot since we left, that man did a lot of damage," said Henry. "Yeah he did, let’s go talk to Sheriff Jason, I bet he missed us," asked Bob? So they tied their horses up and walked into the jail house. "Hello their sheriff," said Henry. "Hey guys, how've you all been," asked Sheriff Jason? "Good, we've been all over the place," said Henry. "We'll what can I do for you guys," asked Sheriff Jason. "I was wandering if we could help rebuild the town again, so we don't have to move or make it a ghost town," asked Henry. "We'll we can try tomorrow morning we need lots of wood and supplies," said Sheriff Jason. "Alright, we're going to find Frankie," said Henry. "He still lived up there in that house in the woods," said Sheriff Jason. So they got on their horses and rode to Frankie's house. As they were riding into the woods they came across Frankie's house, it looked abandoned and deserted, and when they came through the fence Lone Wolf heard a cocking noise of a gun. "Wait stop, don't go up," Lone Wolf holding his arm out. "Stop wright their Injun and whoever else is with you, before I put a bullet in your gut," yelled Frankie. "Frankie is that you," asked Henry? "Who's asking," asked Frankie pointing Lone Wolfs Winchester at them? "It's me Henry, Billy, Bob and Lone Wolf," said Henry. "Frankie it's me Lone Wolf, I’m the one that gave that Winchester to you," said Lone Wolf walking slowly through the gate. "How do I know it you, and not that guy," asked Frankie? "We'll if you would come out from behind the door and actually poke your head out to see who it is before you blow somebody's head off," asked Lone Wolf? Frankie put the Winchester down and opened the door a little more and stuck his head out. "Come on Frankie it's us," said Billy. So Frankie opened the door all the way and stepped out into the porch and saw four men standing in his yard. "Hey Frankie," said Henry. "Sorry about that, I could have killed you, I thought that man was coming up here," said Frankie. "It's alright, you didn't know," said Billy. "Come on in, I'll fix you guys something to eat," said Frankie. So they went back to their horses and put them in the barn and went inside Frankie's house. As they were eating and drinking they started talking. "So how have you been Frankie," asked Henry? "Good, good, so you guy got back together I see," said Frankie. "Yes we did, except one, he didn't come back," said Henry looking at Lone Wolf. "Who," asked Frankie? "Red Bear, he died, he was killed by the blue coats, he was trying to free his people, he's been listening to somebody to much telling him stories," said Lone Wolf looking at Henry. "I am sorry, I really liked that kid even though at times I didn't, he was an okay kid," said Frankie. "Yes he was," said Henry smiling. "We better get some rest if we're going to help rebuild the town," said Bob. "That's great," said Frankie. "Yes so we don't have to leave the town," said Henry. "Good, I will hell then," said Frankie. As they were all sleeping Lone Wolf was woken by the sound of the horses whining and kicking the stalls. Lone Wolf didn't know what it was so he quickly got up and grabbed his pistol and started walking towards the barn cautiously, and he slowly moved towards the stalls, he was calming the horses down. As he was looking around he didn't see anything, so he went back to the house and he put his gun up under his pillow and went back to sleep. When morning came Lone Wolf was already up looking out the window towards the barn. "What are you looking at Lone Wolf," asked Billy walking by? "The barn, I heard something last night, it was making the horses jumpy, so I went out there to the barn and looked and saw nothing," said Lone Wolf. "Well its morning now when we get ready to leave will look around," said Billy. "Alright," said Lone Wolf. So they went down to the kitchen and Frankie was cooking breakfast. "What are we having this morning," asked Henry? "We're having eggs, bacon, and biscuits with gravy and coffee," said Frankie. "Sounds good to me, let’s eat," asked Billy? So they started eating, as they were eating the horses were whining again. "See told you I heard something last night," said Lone Wolf getting up and running out to the barn. So the rest of them got up and ran outside. They walked into the barn very slowly and carefully looked around in the stalls and above the stalls, but nothing was there. Then Lone Wolf herds something running out the barn so he quickly looked and saw nothing there. Lone Wolf started to look at the ground for tracks. "It's very young, a white eye," said Lone Wolf. "When we finish rebuilding the town we will come back and follow those tracks," said Henry. So they packed their horses and Frankie drove the wagon and rode to town. They stopped by the sheriff’s place. "Howdy Sheriff Jason, were all here now," asked Henry? "Good let’s get busy," said Sheriff Jason.
