Chapter Six Henry Hill
Okay, so here is chapter six and I'm sorry if it sucks :(. It's not one of the best chapters in the world.
"You know, waiting by the window won't make them come back any sooner," Alex said.
"I know, but you never know when they might," I replied. I waiting for the slightest sign that one of them will come by and tell us how the first arrest went and how they're all safe.
"Alex, maybe you could take her into town and pick up a paper to see if there is anything about the boys in it," Susan suggested. "It might take her mind off of them for awhile."
"Please, Alex," I begged him.
"Let me get the wagon ready," he answered, walking out of the house.
"Thank you, Susan," I said, walking over to her.
"I'm just glad you're wearing dresses now."
"Well, I can't exactly work on Uncle's land anymore," I answered.
"Faith, come on," Alex yelled.
"Bye Susan," and I walked out the door. He helped me into the wagon and we set off towards town.
The ride was quiet, but in a peaceful way, and it doesn't take long to get there from the McSween's household. Alex pulled up next to a store, got out of the wagon, and helped me out.
"Alex, I'm going to walk around town," and he just nodded his head. I was glad to be away from him and Susan because it's as if they think I'm going to breakdown at anytime, but I'm not. I headed towards my uncle's shop and saw Doc's china doll that he danced with at the New Year's Eve party with Doc following her. "Doc?"
"Oh, hey Faith," and he caught up with her, offering her flowers. I stared at them as the continued to walk down the street. I started walking down towards the shop, wondering where the others were since Doc was in town.
"Faith, over here!" I heard a voice say. I looked over and saw Billy standing behind the fence.
"Billy!" I exclaimed and walked over towards him. He pulled me over to the other side of the fence and I saw the others.
"Faith, what're you doin' here?" Steve asked with his mouth full of tobacco.
"Well, considering that I live outside of Lincoln now, I came here with Alex."
"It's nice to see you wearing dresses now," Dick commented.
"Thank you," I replied. "Charley, what's the matter?"
"Ah, it's El Chivato's fault," Chavez said.
"What in the world does 'El Chivato' mean, Chavez?" I asked him.
"The kid."
"Who are you calling that and why?"
"You mean you haven't seen the paper?" Dick asked and I shook my head no. "Well, the idiot over here," and he pointed over at Billy, " killed Henry Hill."
"Why would you do that?"
"He was part of the gang that killed John, your uncle."
"But you were only suppose to arrest him, not kill him."
"Faith, follow me," he said, walking away from the others and I followed him. " I know you want revenge on the ones that killed John."
"Yes, but—"
"And that means we have to kill them because they killed John!"
"No, you don't have to kill them! If you continue to kill them, then you're just getting in bigger trouble with the law!" I exclaimed.
"You don't understand it, Charlotte Rebecca," Billy said, looking disappointed at me.
"I don't understand why you're going to continue to kill the people who killed my uncle? Oh, I understand perfectly, William, but perhaps it is you who doesn't understand the concept and consequences of killing them," I replied, coolly, walking away from him.
"Faith," he said, walking after me. I walked to the other side of the fence and started towards Alex's wagon, when Billy grabbed my arm.
"William, let go of—" and I couldn't finish because his lips were on mine.
"Billy, Faith, um," Doc said, surprised to us like that.
"Oh, hello Doc," I said, after Billy broke the kiss.
"Since when are you two like that?"
"Since when do you chase after China Dolls?" I asked him.
"Oh, so that's where you went," Billy said, laughing a bit.
"Don't say a word to Richard."
"Faith!" I heard Alex call.
"Well, I have to go," I said, moving away from them.
"See you soon, Faith," Billy said, giving me a last kiss and walking away with his famous laugh.
"Doc, please make sure he doesn't kill anymore people."
"I can try, but I'm not promising anything," he replied.
"I guess that's good enough," I sighed.
"Bye, Faith."
"Oh, Doc, one more thing."
"What is it?"
"Please be safe, along with the others," I begged him.
"I'll do my best," he said, smiling a little.
"Bye, Doc," and he walked back towards the others. I walked back to Alex and he stood there with a man.
"Faith, you remember John Roberts, right?"
"Oh, you're the man from the party," I said.
"Yeah, I'm glad you remember," he replied.
"He was wondering if he could stop by some time," Alex said, looking at me.
"That's fine," I said, reluctantly. I couldn't say no with him being here because it would be rude and second of all it would disappoint Alex and Susan.
"Good, well. I'll see you some other time then," he said, walking away without saying goodbye.
"Are you ready to go home?"
"I suppose so," I answered, not saying that his house wasn't my real home.
