"You've got to talk to me Nat. They want to try to for murder. If you don't talk and tell me who really killed you're uncle ,you could stay jail." she tried to coax the truth out of him. Jo looked around the jail cell. It was damp, dark, and no place for a boy, especially Nat. She put her hand affectionately on his shoulder. He brushed it off crawling farther in to the corner of the cell.
"I'm not going to hurt you. No one will." Jo promised. "Just tell me who killed you uncle."
Nat made a strange strangled like sound and Jo prepared to try again. "Nat-"
"Miss," the jail attendant called, "You have to go now."
"Just give us another moment, please."
"I'm sorry-"
"But I have to go." she finished for him. Jo sighed frustrated , and gathered her things. "I see you later Nat hmm?" Mrs. Bhaer stood hoping that he would at least say something, anything, a glimmer that hope wasn't lost.
He said nothing.

"We're here." Michael Blake said harshly stopping the wagon in front of a worn, ragged looking cabin. "You can put your things in the barn for now."
Nat placed his belongings on the hard wood floor. "Uncle?" he replied as he turned around. But, Michael wasn't there. In the distance he heard the sound of a horse's neigh.

"Did you see him? Is he okay?" Nan asked as soon as Jo walked into the kitchen.
"He's fine." Jo said busying herself with helping Asia.
"Mrs. Jo," Nan said knowing she was lying.
"He still won't talk." she replied sadly. "Go set the table Nan."
She turned to Asia who was chopping carrots. "I sat there with him today and it was if it wasn't Nat at all. He's so afraid. And it's my fault. I was the one who let him go with that man. I didn't ask his real reasons, didn't really ask anything at all. I knew something was wrong and I ignored my feeling."
"Now it wasn't you fault Jo. "Asia said sternly. "You wanted that boy to get to know his uncle. There was nothing wrong it that."
"What if Nat really did do it?"

So what did you think??
