The seven of us have been riding for hours now. My butt's getting really sore now and it looks like everyone else is looking uncomfortable sitting. It didn't look like anyone was going to speak up to tell Billy what to do so I stepped up. "Billy. We have to set up camp. It's getting dark and we'll need our energy tomorrow if we run into any unwanted visitors."

Billy stared at me and nodded after a few moments. "Alright. We'll keep going until we get to the mountains. I think we're getting close to them."

We rode for about another hour until we finally found our destination. We got off and unsaddled. I started to talk again. "Dave, Hendry you two find some campfire wood. Billy, Tommy you two find water to fill our containers. Chavez, Doc you guys try to start a dinner for everyone. I'll find us a place to sleep and set up camp."

Everyone did what they were told. We all separated into different directions. I kept stomping on the ground until I found a soft patch of grass. Chavez and Doc were getting dinner ready and it was only the three of us, waiting for everyone else to get back.

"Hey Doc, Chavez. Toss me your sleeping bags. I found a spot." I informed.

Chavez tossed me his and I put it down. Right when I looked up I see another one come flying right at me. It hits me right in the face and I tumble over a rock. I pop my head back up and glare at Doc and shout, "Hey! Watch where you're throwing things!"

They both just chuckle and Doc responds, "Sorry, sweetheart. Maybe you should have been paying attention."

"Screw you." I mumble.

Everyone got back after a half hour and it got dark. We ate dinner and set up camp. We got our containers filled with water and we got a nice, big fire in the middle of our circle. Dave, Hendry, and Tom fell fast asleep. The only ones that were awake were us four remaining Regulators. Billy, Doc, Chavez, and myself. The four of us close in on the fire and were just staring at it.

I suddenly remember the old times, when Dick, Charlie, Steve, Doc, Chavez, myself, and even Billy went out camping a few times together. It was wild with the seven of us. I silently laugh to myself. I guess that got the boys attention.

"What's so funny?" Billy questions.

I looked down at my feet and shook my head, still laughing. "Remember the times when we all went camping, together. Charlie and Steve would bring beer. Dick would try to keep everybody where he could see them. We were all a little too noisy. The whole town could hear us and yelled at us to shut up. Those were fun times."

They all got smiles on their faces as they remember too.

"I would always threaten Steve by putting a blade to his throat." Chavez laughs.

That got my smile even bigger. Everyone started laughing out loud, but not too loud to wake the rest up.

"Yeah. Things were so simple back then. Things weren't so hard, complicated, difficult… and scary." I say, sadly.

Billy put his hand on my shoulder comfortingly and said, "Hey, it'll be alright. We've got the gang back together, we're unbeatable." He cracks a grin and jokes, "Besides, your Juvenile Jessie. You should be having fun, being chased all over the country."

"It's not that fun, Billy! It is to you but not me! Or Doc! And it don't look like Chavez is having a blast, either!" I took a deep breath and calmed down. "We're not like you, Billy. We don't wanna be on the run for the rest of our lives, which from the looks of it, won't be long now. We all just want to have a regular life."

I got up and walked over to the ledge and swung my feet over it. I sighed and looked up at the midnight sky. I heard footsteps coming towards me but I didn't move. The person sat next to me. I turned and was met with a Mexican-Indian face looking at me, worriedly. I shook my head, silently telling him I don't want to talk right now. I looked back at the sky and Chavez did the same.

"It's a beautiful night…" Chavez trailed off.

"Yup. Maybe we'll get lucky and see another week's night." I tell him.

Chavez turned to me with an expression I knew all too well. He was about to start speaking about his Indian culture. "The spirit horse will come for you, Chiquita when the time is right. Now is not your time. When it is, she will be ready to come for you, Jessie." He pulls out a beautiful feather necklace and gently ties around my neck. "This is for you. Now you will always have me with you, no matter what may happen. Brothers and sisters have to stick together. When one is lost then the other will be lonely until they are both rejoined together as family."

I look down at it and I feel special that he thinks of me as his sister just as I think of him as my brother. I turn to him once more with tears in my eyes and whisper, "Thank you. This means a lot."

He gives me a smile and pulls me in for a hug. I hug him back and we stay like that for a minute. We both pull away and he tells me goodnight and to sleep well. I go to sleep soon after and know I will never be alone. Now I've got a ring and necklace to prove it.
