Chapter 3
Grace and Little Man (Jake's Son/ Jim's nephew) were walking to their local newspaper (this is western time, so they did it the western time, with Western time machines). As they entered, Grace saw Michelle finishing the last newspaper.
"Michelle, did I get you in a good time to run a new ad?" asked Grace.
"Yeah. I think that I can fit you in, Grace," said Michelle. She walked to a table, got a piece of paper and pen and gave it to Grace. "Just write it down here and I put it in later. I'm going on my break." Little man was by the counter, playing with some of the letters that were used when they printed. "You can play with those, little man. But put them in their right place like they were before. I don't want it to be called 'The Dallas Triboot'." Grace laughed at the thought when that happened. "So, what's new?" Michelle was changing her clothes to better ones.
"Well, I was thinking to change the name of the store to 'Hawkins Department Store' instead of just 'Hawkins Store', which Jake and I think its sounds old fashion. We can able to put things in their own little department," said Grace.
"Now see, I like that idea. It's a great idea. But if only men seem to care about our 'little' delicates," said Michelle. She walked to the counter and thought to ask Grace about Jim. "Hey. Is he here yet?"
"Who, Jim? Next week," said Grace, as she looked at her and went back to her writing.
"Is he really that cute?" asked Michelle.
"He's like Jake 10 years ago," said Grace.
"Really?" asked Michelle, acting surprise.
"Really," said Grace.
"Well, I think I like to make his acquaints," said Michelle. Grace laughed. Jake, Kansas and their men were just entering a little part of a forest and they stopped.
"Whoa! We're going to run out of day light soon enough. How about if we camp here and hit 'em in the morning?" said Kansas.
"I say that's a plan. Let's camp!" said Jake. As they were taking their stuff of their horses, Kansas saw someone coming on a horse.
"Who the hell is that?" said Kansas. Jake looked and then took out some binoculars. He noticed it was Jim.
"Aw, It's my brother, damn it. He's more stubborn that I am," said Jake.
"That's a frightening thought," said Kansas, as he patted Jake's shoulder.
"Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, were you able to sleep rest peacefully last night?" asked Lawrence. He was the manager of a little hotel in Dallas. The pair came down the stairs.
"Like a baby, Mr. Lawrence," said Mr. Olsen, as they walked to the door. Lawrence saw Grace and little man coming.
"Here's Grace Hawkins. She is the owner of 'Hawkins Store.' She can able to get sheets from Paris within a week. We are making a few changes here at 'Lawrence Hotel," said Lawrence.
"Well, the beds, anyway," said Grace. They laughed.
"That's just fine, Mr. Lawrence. See you next time," said Mr. Olsen.
"You take of yourself, folks," said Lawrence. As they left, he looked at Grace. "Did you hear?" Grace noticed that he said it almost in a whispered.
"Hear what?" asked Grace. Lawrence looked at little man. Grace walked to him. "Little man, why don't you home now?"
"Ok," said little man. "Bye." He walked home. Lawrence walked to Grace.
"Jake and the rangers rode of this morning to find the regulators," said Lawrence.
"It was about time that they got them," said Grace.
"Look at me. Feeling pity for you," said Lawrence.
"You're my friend. You must feel that," said Grace, as she put her hand on top of his hand.
"Jake is lucky to have someone like you," said Lawrence.
"He knows," said Grace, laughing. They both laughed and she walked off.
"You do it just like this," said Jake, as he shot a pinecone of a tree trunk. He laughs. Jim looks at Jake, smiling. "Don't look at me like that! I'm only letting you stay here cause .... It's too dangerous to let you go back in the dark." Jim smiled.
"Sure, big brother. That's why you're teaching me to shot people?" said Jim.
"It's not about shooting people, Jim. That's the last thing we want to do. Now aim!" said Jake. Jim looked at Jake and smiled. Instead of him using the gun, Jim handed Jake his gun. Jim looked around to see if no one was looking. Jim used light (certain molecular can bend light to become invisible just like Lexa) to hit a pinecone that was on top of a tree trunk. Jake looked surprised.
"Did you see that?" said Jim, as he patted Jake.
"Do that again," said Jake. Jim looked around again to see if no one was watching. He used light again and hit another pinecone. "Try it with Electricity."
"Ok," said Jim. He shot the last 3 pinecones that were on the tree trunk.
"You're a dead shot! You're a natural!" said Jake.
"Yeah?" said Jim, as he looks at Jake.
"Yeah," said Jake. "What the hell are you going to do with that in Harvard?" He puts his arm around Jim's shoulder.
"Come on. They got pine cones in Harvard," said Jim.
"They got pine cones in Harvard?" said Jake, while laughing. "Let's get you something to eat." Later that night, Jake and Jim were looking up at the sky as they lay by the fire camp.
"Feels like I'm falling," said Jim. "When you see the sky like that, it feels that someone is watching over you." Jake chuckled.
"I look at my boy and I see the same thing. Heaven," said Jake.
"Sometimes I feel that my heart is going to burst out and make a big mess. Do you ever feel like that?" asked Jim, as he looks as Jake and looks back at the stars. "Like you want to put your hands up in the sky and put the stars in a different way."
"All the time. Now I'm out here doing it," said Jake. Jim laughs.
"What, running a store?" asked Jim, as he laughs.
"Hey. Doing what's right," said Jake, laughing. "Protecting this place while it's growing up. Making sure no one get's railed road by the railroad." He sighed. "That's we're going to explain to those regulators in the morning. And no you can't come."
"Yeah. Thanks, pal," said Jim, laughing. Just then, they heard a twig snap. They looked to see who it was.
"Who is that?" asked Jim, as he showed his feral eyes.
"Kansas, you watering the desert again?" said Jake. "Jim, wake up the boys." Jake got his gun and looked out to see who it was out there.
"Don't do that, Jake," said Kansas. Jake sighed.
"You scared the crap out of me, Kansas," said Jake, as he put down his gun to the ground. Jim looked at them both and he knew what was going to happen. He saw the images in his head.
"Yeah. I know. But your mama didn't raise no fool," he said, as he shot Jake 2 times.
"NOOOOO!" yelled Jim. Kansas shot Jim too. Jim shook his head when he saw the images. He knew that they were going to be killed. Jim saw everything that was going to happen.
"Yeah. I know. But your mama didn't raise no fool," he said, as he shot Jake 2 times.
"NOOOO!" yelled Jim. Kansas shot Jim too. Jim fell on his back when he got shot. All of Kansas' men and Kansas shot the each one of the rangers till they were completely dead.
"Gray, stupid and dead. That should make a lot easier," said Kansas, laughing.
"You know that there is one problem," said one of the men.
"What's that?" asked Kansas.
"13 of you rode out here, including the kid. If they only find 12 bodies, it means that someone survived it," he said.
"That's right. Well, luckily, you're about my side," said Kansas, as he shot him. Jim winced when he heard the gun shoot. "Anyone want to show the invocative or the ability to count?" He kicked a can. "Let's ride." Kansas and all of his men rode off. Jim tried to roll on to his back but he was in too much pain. As he rolled to his side and lifted himself lightly, he saw at Jake, motionless.
"Jake?" said Jim, as he moved Jake lightly. "Jake? Jake?!?!" Jim knew that Jake was dead. "Oh, god please no!" He cried as his brother laid there dead. As Jim was crying, he senses someone coming. Jim showed his feral eyes. Tonto came out of the mist. He stood over Jim and Jake. Jim looked up at him. "My brother." Then, Jim passed out.
