Chapter 9
"Sheriff!" Cel exclaimed.
"Good thing you came when I called," said Mrs. Johnson. "This girl here ran.."
"I heard the whole thing," said the sheriff.
Mort stepped in front of Cel protectively.
"I'm not giving her up!" he exclaimed.
"Calm down, Mr. Rainey, you won't have to."
It was Mrs. Johnson's turn to gawk again.
"Give me the sheet," the sheriff said. He pulled out a pen and signed the line. "Here you go." He turned to Mrs. Johnson. "Now, Mrs. Johnson, I'm afraid that I'll have to order you off of Mr. Rainey's land."
"But, I..."
"Goodbye," he said. She turned, pulled open the door of the rusty van, and drove angrily away.
"Thank you, sir, but why'd you do it?" Cel asked.
