Chapter 12: Dusty Escapes!
Kenny pushed Dusty into a cell, "Don't get too cozy in there, son. Somebody's gotta pay for the murder in Tennessee." he said pulling out a rope & tying it in a noose. Dusty's eyes widened then he walked over to the tiny window in the cell. "If I die for justice being served that day, so be it. That man killed my mother. His debt was paid." Dusty remarked. "Robbery is also on your records. In Texas you'd get your hands cut off along with a hangin'. You should be glad I'm the one who arrested you & not my little sister." Kenny snapped. "Maybe I'd be better. I would have at least died in my home land, at my request." Dusty said. Kenny growled irritatably, "Shut up! You are just trying to make you sound like your & mighty, but you're not! You're nothin' but an outlaw! You got that!" He snapped as he slammed his hands against the bars of the cell. Dusty never turned his face towards Kenny, he kept his back turned towards him.
Kenny locked up the prison that night & went home. Ranger Jones was inside, she grabbed a mirror & signaled Tessie, to ride up with the get away horses. "Oh, there you are Tay." Tessie said looking through the binoculars then she rode over to the prison. "Dusty." Taylor called to him. "Right here." Dusty answered. "I'm here to get you out." Taylor said. Dusty smirked, "Alright. What's the plan then?" "Where's the keys?" Taylor asked. "Over there." Dusty answered. Taylor unlocked his cell. Dusty pinned her to the wall. Taylor jolted in pain then slid down the wall with a knife in her shoulder. "Sorry, Ranger. I'm not the kind to go from one prison to another." Dusty remarked. Taylor whimpered trying to get words out, but the pain was too overwhelming. Dusty ran out just in time for Tessie to come with the horses. Dusty jumped on a horse. Tessie looked at him with horror as he pointed a gun at her, "Now, I'm takin' this horse & if you see your brother the sheriff, ya tell him this... I'm coming back for him & he better sleep with one eye open." Dusty snapped before riding off. "Taylor!" Tessie cried as she ran in the prison. She gasped when she saw Taylor. "Taylor. Taylor..." "Tess?" Taylor managed to get out. "What is it, Tay?" Tessie asked after pulling the knife out of her little sister's shoulder. "Kenny must've shook him up. I know he's not bad like the others... He's different." Taylor said softly. "You want me to get Mase? He's at my place it won't, take long to, get there." Tessie asked. Taylor grinned softly then fell unconscience. Tessie picked her up & drug her to the horses. Kenny ran over there. "What happened?" He asked. "Tay got stabbed. I'm taking to my place to get Mase to help her." Tessie explained. Kenny picked Taylor up & laid her over the horse then jumped on the saddle, "We better get going then." he said as the two of them raced off.
The next morning. "How's she doing, Mase?" Kenny asked. "She's fine." Mason answered. "You look, tired Mase." Tessie remarked. "What happened last night, Mase?" Kenny asked. "She struck a fever. Stayed up with her all night fighting it." Mason answered. "That little..." "Kenny. That boy reacted because you gave him quite the scare. So, if I were you'd watch what you say to your prisoners for now on." Mason remarked. "What? How'd you..." "I told him." A voice said walking down the hall. "Why you... You've got some nerve..." "Here, take me in again. Hang me if it'll make you happy. I just don't wanna don't wanna be a bother to anyone any more. I'm tired of this! I'm tired of running from you. So go ahead. I'm turning myself in." Dusty said holding his hands out. "Hey, dudes! I'm gonna borrow you for a few, okay dude." Alfred said as he wrapped his arm around Dusty's shoulders. Dusty was surprised, "Yes sir." "Him, but Dad he's an outlaw from Indian Territory." "Then I've got the right dude. Come on." Alfred said as he & Dusty walked out.
