Right where the movie leaves off.
Present Day:
Harmonville-The Riders:
Button had just come out of the General store & was walking across the street to the bar to talk to Boss when a group of men rode into town. He walked up to the bar, yelled inside for Boss & Charlie, then waited for the riders to come up. He noticed that one of the riders was a girl, pregnant, but he couldn't tell what she looked like. For more then six years, he had kept hidden the fact that he was a twin. But he didn't know if he would be able to anymore.
The riders stopped in front of the bar, looking at the men that had just come out, along with the boy that was starting at them. The boy looked oddly familiar & John, Elysia's husband figured it out before anybody else. This must be the twin brother Elysia had mentioned losing when she was four. But why did he look so Mexican when she looked so Indian? Maybe she had more of her mother in her & he his father.
"Can we help you folks?" Boss Spearmen asked.
"We lookin for a doc. My wife here is pregnant & needs a doc to look at her. We was ambushed two days past & she be injured. Got a doc who can look at her?" John asked.
"Depends on if that's the only thing you folks are here for." Charlie said.
"Button is that you?" I asked.
"Yeah, Elysia what happened to you?"
"How do you know this girl, Button?" Sue asked. I took the 'kerchief from my face, exposing the same face Button had.
"I'm his twin sister. We was separated when we was four. I guess he came here with these men. I joined this gang after joining a small group of kids trying to get adopted by folks from the states. But nobody wanted a half-injun, half-Mexican, so I was never adopted."
"So you joined these men and started riding the country doing what?" Button asked.
"Believe me, if you knew, ya'll would kick us out 'fore I got looked at."
"Try us." Boss said. Button looked at us.
"We're outlaws. We wanted all over the country. We befriended some Indians after they learned I was half Lakota. They delivered my first child when I was fourteen, but he died only a couple months later, when some sheriff recognized us and started shooting. When he learned he'd killed a baby, he let us pass by without arrestin' us. Guess he felt sorry for me, losin' a kid and all."
"You've already had a kid?" Button asked.
"Uh-huh. Does that bother you Button? Or should I say Emanuel." I laughed. Button turned bright red at his given name. He liked Button a whole lot better then Emanuel. His friends kept themselves from laughing out loud. they had never known his real name.
