So reluctantly Ivan and I went and found the horses. We had to find five horses. The only thing i could think was this was going to take all, surprising it hadent.

" Dude we should split up, its the only way were going to beable to get out of here.", I said.

"Yeah alright, ill see if any of them managed to get to parkes farm."

I started walking down the dirt road with reins in my hands. The sky looked more beautiful then ever. The sun was about to go down, so it looked like cotton candy. I the image of the last time i had cotton cady appeare ing my head. Mama and I had go to the fair for the day just the two of us, to spend some quality time together.

"Mama, why doesnt daddy love me?"

" My dear, son he does love you, he went to America to help make out lives better?"

"Do you think he will come back?"

" That i am not sure of and your grandmother cant see that far ahead."

We continued to walk around the fair grounds. We rode a couple of rides. The faces mama made when we rode down the roller coaster was so funny. Her hair was pushed back so far you couldnt even see the person behind her. I remember laughing at her because she screamed the whole ride. After all the rides we ended the day by getting some cotton candy. I couldnt wait to get home to share with my sisters.

Not realizing that i wasnt paying attention i stepped right in a mud puddle.

"MY LUCK!"

Agrraved i kept walking. I finally spoted a horse down by Drinkers creek. I approached the horse slowly so i didnt scare it But once i got closer i realized that it wasnt alone. All the horses where there drinking, acting like it was normal day. I tied the rein around the biggest horse and used rope as a leash to get the horses back. I got on Lewis the biggest horse and started to head back. But once i managed to get back with all the horses i realized that Ivan and I never fixed the fence. So i had to take the horses to the stables. After all the horses were put away i looked around and realized that this may be the last time i see this place. I took in the beautiful glory of the ranch. The smell of all the animals, the sight of the paint chipping off the barn.

I seemed to noice all the little things. I hadent even realized Ivan was behind me until he spoke.

"You know manthis palce may completely blow but i sure am going to miss it."\

"So am i."

"Oh by the way the fence isnt broke i checked it out when i came back, turns out Raul just let them out."

"Of course he did. Well time to get my check and get out of here."

Ivan and I headed off to find Raul. We ended up finding him in his house sitting on the couch passed out.

"Hey we need our checks."

"mmmm."

"RAUL!"

"What to you scummy boy want?"

"Our checks, where scummy huh?"

"Isnt that what i said?"

All i remember thinking was this man was dead. Next thing i know Ivans pulling me off of him. I hadednt even realised id punched him in the face. Blood ozzed out of his nose. At least i broke his nose. He can talk about me all he wants but Ivan thats a different story. At that point i didnt even care about my check i was so out raged that i just walked out. I got in my car slamed the door an drove off. I didnt even care where i drove to all i needed to do was calm down. I just kept drving until i couldnt drive anymore. I pulled over on the side of the road and climbed out of my car. I walked over to the edge of the cliff and just looked out at the sight before me. I couldnt even remember the last time i was this mad.

I found a rock on the ground and threw it over the cliff, i counted to see how long it would take for it to hit the ground. I then realized i had left without my pay check. I guess im only going to America with nine hundred dollars. I suppose its better then nothing. The sooner i get out of this place the better. I called the airport to see when the next plane to America was.

"Baia international airport how may I help you?"

"Hi was wondering when your next flight to America is?"

"Our next flight is tomorrow at 10am."

"Alright thank you. I need two tickets to America please."

"Will that be all?"

"Yes thank you."

"OKay That will be $250, just make sure you pay as soon as you arrive and then you will recieve your tickets sir. What name should I put the tickets under?"

"Belikov."

"Alright your all set sir, have a good night."
