Chapter 2

Me: Thanks for the reviews I'll try to write more but i'm trying to challenge myself with all university level classes this year. Remember this was the western times many ladies married before 18 and men often started working young since you had less time to live. Go with it.

Butch coughed the dark made it hard to see and even though it was light with lamps the tunnel air was thick and heavy filled with dust climbing up his nose and down his throat and getting in everywhere on his body at twelve he was old enough to be a man and go to work. Butch and his brothers wanted to open there own business a bar there was real money in that. Sadly the boys lived in Cityville so everything was expensive and since they didn't have parents the boys were left to fend for themselves and their ten year old baby brother Blast. Blast thankfully had no idea his brothers were criminals mainly since they disguised themselves so good no one could tell the difference. The money they stole went into the food/rent/emergency/bar fund the money they made barely covered to educate Blast and put clothes on their back and get water. If it rained they bought soap and showered behind the housing they lived in. The boys were thankful for the money they stole or they wouldn't be alive and with the gold rush prices were soaring." Get back to work!" Yelled one of the owners of the coal mine through the opening. Butch reached and picked up his pick axe. Boomer pushed the mine car full of coal past Butch and towards the opening. Deeper in the tunnel Brick grabbed his brown handkerchief and wiped his glasses to be free of coal. "You know my friend Professor Utonium and his four daughters are coming to visit." A fellow coal miner named Doctor Pluto who also happened to live across the hall from the boys. He could afford more since he lived by himself. Still the coal lords kept cutting down on wages as the coal price rise. "Oh, really." Brick said using his shovel to dip up coal. "Uh huh, I want to make a good impression it's my luck we don't have to work on Saturday." "So what are you going to do?" "Why give them a tour of the city, buy them dinner and maybe catch the festival. So are you boys going?" "You bet" Brick said as he heard the whistle sounding the end of the day. The boys trudged out of the tunnel covered in black dust. And smiled as they saw their little brother but frowned at how the owner was looking at him like he owned him. The four brothers trudged home listening to Blast talk about school. When they got home to the housing they shared with other miners Brick told Blast to get the cloth. Blast raced inside returning with a brown cloth the three boys used the cloth to wipe away the dirt on their faces and hands. Then they went inside and to their apartment they got after Mojo died. It was a good apartment two bedrooms, and a kitchen/ living room. The boys removed their clothes for house wear, thin pants and shirt and set to do their own chores. Brick alternated between cleaning the place and helping Blast with homework. Boomer set to work preparing dinner. And Butch toke their dirty clothes and beat them against a tree with a stick to get the dust of them. After their chores were done the boys gathered around for dinner bowing their heads before digging in. After dinner Butch cleaned up while Boomer played with Blast and Brick went over finances. Once it was done the triplets put Blast to bed in his and Boomers room. Then they went across the hall to Doctor Pluto's who taught them a bit since they couldn't go to the school house before going back home and going to bed praying for rain.
