Born to Run Wild and Free: A Virginian Fanfic
It took the Virginian and the boys several days to get back to Shiloh with the recovered payroll. The Virginian noticed how quiet Randy was the whole time. Are you alright, Randy?; the Virginian asked one day.
I'm fine, boss; Randy replied. I still can't believe that Sam coulda' done somethin' like that; Randy said. It's hard to believe for me too, Randy; the Virginian replied. I wonder what Jennifer's thinkin'
about it; Randy said next. I don't know, Randy; the Virginian replied. That was a good thing you did for that horse; the Virginian said. Well, deep down he was wild and he would'nt have been happy at
Shiloh, boss; Randy said. That's kinda why I did it; Randy added. He deserved to be free just like Sam did; Randy said. Only he made a mistake by takin' that money; Randy added. You're right about that, Randy;
the Virginian said. But he more than made up for it by saving you, Randy; the Virginian added. I sure won't forget it, boss; Randy said. Neither will I, Randy; the Virginian replied. Nothing at Shiloh would
have been the same if something had happened to you, Randy; the Virginian said. We all would have missed you; he added. I know, and I promise I won't ever put myself in harm's way like that again; Randy
said. I'm glad to hear that, Randy; the Virginian said as they came through the main gate at Shiloh. Hi, Jennifer; the Virginian said when he spotted her. Hello, Virginian; Jennifer replied.
It's good to have you all home; she said. What happened to Sam?; Jennifer asked. It's a long story, Jennifer; the Virginian replied. Oh, what happened?; she asked. We found Sam and the other two and
Randy went to warn Sam because he did'nt want him to be locked in a cage like an animal. When he got there, the other two attempted to use Randy as a hostage and Sam shot it out with them to save Randy;
the Virginian said. We buried him where he died; the Virginian said solemnly. Oh, poor Sam; Jennifer said. He did'nt deserve that; she added. He may have stolen, but he was'nt a killer; she said.
My thoughts exactly, Jennifer; the Virginian said. If he were here right now, I would thank him for what he did for Randy; Jennifer added. So would I, Jennifer; the Virginian replied. Wherever he is, I hope
he's happy; she said. So do I, Jenny; the Virginian said. He was a good man to know; the Virginian said. Where is Randy?; Jennifer asked. I saw him go into the barn a minute ago; the Virginian answered.
Thank you; Jennifer said as she headed in the direction of the barn. Hello, Randy, it's good to have you home; Jennifer said when she saw Randy. Hi, Jenny; Randy said quietly. Are you alright, Randy?; Jennifer
asked with concern. I'm fine, Jenny; he replied. I was sorry to hear about Sam, Randy; Jennifer said softly. He did'nt deserve that; she added. But I'm thankful he saved you, Randy; she said. I did'nt
get the chance to thank him for what he did, Jennifer; Randy said. It all happened so fast; Randy added. I'm sure Sam knows, Randy; Jennifer replied. I sure will miss him; Randy said. So will I, Randy;
Jennifer said. Deep down , he was a good person; Jennifer said. A good person who deserved to have a family, but he never got that far; she added. I think that's why he was so attached to you, Randy;
Jennifer said wisely. What happened to the horse that you and Sam tamed, Randy?; she asked. I let him go, Jennifer; Randy replied. ''He always would've reminded me of Sam''; Randy said. ''He's just like
him, born to run wild and free''; Randy replied. He would'nt have been happy here; Randy added. You did the right thing, Randy; Jennifer replied. You must be tired and hungry; Jennifer said. I just took
a blueberry pie out of the oven and it's cooling; she said. Would you like some?; she asked. I sure would, Jennifer; Randy replied. Thanks; he said. Think nothing of it; Jennifer said as they both walked up to
the house.
