Hoss looked around the yard, his home, the Ponderosa. The place he would never leave, it was in his blood, like it was in his brother's bloods. It was the one place where he always wanted to come back. He loved the place he father had built with his own bare hands. He never dreamed of leaving there, like his older and younger brother sometimes did. He wanted to die on this land, surrounded by Pa, Adam and Joe, his family he loved.
"How could you be so stupid?" Hoss heard Adam's voice before his two brothers rode into the yard.
"Me? You were the stupid one, you decided to hit that guy!" Hoss sighted at Joes exclamation, sometimes he wished that he was the only child.
