A Chapter by Whitney Shaw

So they started to rebuild the town, se of the men took their shirts off and started to rebuild buildings that were damaged. As they were building a stage coach came through and stopped in front of the hotel. A pretty young lady and a young man stepped out of the stage coach, she was very beautiful, and she had long golden hair with a sun hat and a yellow dress. Henry, Billy, Frankie, Bob and Lone Wolf stopped what they were doing and stared at her. She grabbed her friend and walked over to the saloon and told her guy friend to go in and ask for drinks. So he walked inside.
"Can I have a couple of drinks for those men working out there," asked the man?
"Sure thing, coming right up sir," said the bar tender.
So he grabbed some and handed them to the lady and went back inside to get the rest.
"Hey that lady is bringing us drinks," Billy whistling at her.
"Mind your manners boys, were not animals," said Henry. 
"I thought you men might need a drink or two," said the young lady.
"Yes ma'am, much obliged, thank you," said Henry politely. 
Lone Wolf came down to grab the drinks, as he was coming down she couldn't help but stare, when he came to the last step he turned around, and she was still staring at him. She handed him the drinks and Lone Wolf tossed them up to the men. Then she handed him his drink. 
"You like what you see," asked Lone Wolf smiling. 
"I brought you drinks nothing more," said the young lady.
"Is there a problem," asked the man?
"No thanks for the drinks," Lone Wolf climbing back up the ladder. She walked back to the hotel, when Lone Wolf made it to the top of the building they were rebuilding, the young lady looked back and Lone Wolf looked down at her with a straight face, she quickly turned and smiled and went inside the hotel.
"Man that is a pretty lady," asked Billy. 
"Yeah she was, I think she liked Lone Wolf, all the women love Lone Wolf, all he has to do is stand there," said Bob laughing. 
"Or all he as to do is show is six pack and they go nuts, or take his hair down and the really go crazy," said Billy laughing until he almost fell off the building. 
"Alright, alright, she liked me, but I don't go with white women, I already had a women when I was younger," said Lone Wolf.
"You did, what happened," asked Bob?
"Quit talking and more hammering," interrupted Sheriff Jason on purpose and looking at Lone Wolf.
"Okay calm down," said Billy?
Sheriff Jason went back to his office and looking at some paper work.
When they were finished building the sun started to go down, so they packed their things and rode back to Frankie's house. As they got there they herd the mules and pigs scream, so they rode over to the barn and went inside. 
"Alright come out of there, you have no place to run," asked Frankie?
So it came out. 
"What are you soon here kid, did someone send you to kill us," asked Billy?
"What's your name boy, “asked Henry?
Lone Wolf had a flash back of the time Billy asked that to Red Bear, he shook it off.
"Never mind the name, what are you doing here," asked Lone Wolf walking up to the boy?
Billy walked beside Lone Wolf and put his hand across Lone Wolfs chest making Lone Wolf step back a little.
"We'll I um....," paused the boy. 
"You what, come on kid we don't have all day," Lone Wolf getting angry.
"I read about you in the papers, I heard you guys came back in town so I've been sleeping and hiding out in your barn," said the boy. 
"Why didn't you come out when I was there," asked Lone Wolf angrily. 
"You had a gun," said the boy.
"You wasted your time here, go back to where ever you came from kid, your too soft, you can’t look somebody in the eye and kill them, so go home kid," said Lone Wolf. 
"My name is not kid, its Josh," said Josh.
"WHATEVER," shouted Lone Wolf in an angry voice and walked away.
"I want to be remembered like Jessie James, Billy the kid, Hombre the half-bred Indian, Doc Holiday," said Josh.
"That's nice kid, but you’re not killing material, go home," said Billy. 
"Wait, you guys aren't afraid of anything, everybody fears you, I want that," said Josh.
"Kid you’re going to get shot at in different towns, people are going to fight you or pick a fight, and shoot you off guard," said Bob.
"You guys can teach me how to shoot, and I'll use my Indian techniques that my father would teach me," said Josh.
"I don't know he is, he's younger than Red Bear was when he joined," said Billy. 
"You guys were young when you started this gang, we can use him as bate," said Henry.
"That would be good for the runt," said Frankie going to the house.
Lone Wolf herd what the kid said about being Indian. 
"You’re not an Indian, you’re a want to be Indian, just because you have long hair and you say anybody can say their Indian it doesn't mean you’re an Indian, we don't need you," said Lone Wolf. 
"We'll they want me, I am to an Indian," said Josh.
Lone Wolf got up and got right into Josh's face and said, 
“Indians come from India, Apache runs this gang, you’re not welcomed here, I didn't invite you," said Lone Wolf angry. 
"Lone Wolf walk it off," asked Henry?
"This want to be white boy is not one of us, he is to soft, what if something happens to him and we came keep our eyes on him and he gets killed cause he didn't pay attention, I am not going to be responsible for you kid if something happens to you," said Lone Wolf walking out the door. 
Henry walked outside and looked up at the moon.
"What is with you today, this is a side of you I haven't seen in a long time," asked Henry concerned?
"That white boy is not joining," said Lone Wolf.
"We do need him, he's young, extra eyes," said Henry. 
"I had a flash back of Red Bear when he first joined," said Lone Wolf.
"Red Bear was a good friend, a good Indian, but that boy in there wants to be noticed and remembered, I thought you would give him a chance," asked Henry?
"You thought wrong, I don't want him here, I don't want him near me, if he says anything stupid I am out of here, I'll go back to Fort Apache and let the blue coats handle me," said Lone Wolf going down the steps.
"He is going to be with us whether you like it or not, I don't want any trouble from you or him, understand," asked Henry?
"Yes father, there won't be any trouble I am not staying here I am sleeping in the barn," said Lone Wolf walking out to the barn.
"Oh no you’re not, you’re staying under the same roof as Josh even if it kills you, come on we're all going to sit and eat," Henry grabbing Lone Wolf by the arm.
