This suddenly gave way to a sense of horror and anger as he was viciously pulled into a sitting position with his back resting against the desk and heated eyes staring at him. Voices, he heard voices. Natures own silence encircled Joe and he allowed his mind to drift into dark places. Afraid you might do something foolish and get hurt.

Yup, and youre stuck with us. Hoss grinned. Owww! he cried out. Hoss has the buggy already hooked up for you. Was Adam really mad at him, or was there just more going on with Adam that he wasnt talking about? Please, I need you! He squeezed his eyes closed as he begged for his older brothers return. Hes too young, just a boy. Ben slowly opened his eyes again and gazed sadly upon his sons broken body. Anger inside him was mixed with fear, fear that he would never reveal. Now, however, he looked to be in another world. What the heck happened? Sudden fear came over Adam as he sucked in his breath at the first glimpse of Joes mauled, balled up, bloody body. Joe cautiously lifted his eye lids and stared straight past his father who sat in the chair beside him. We are going to bring her home, son. Never!

The question threw him slightly off, but so had everything else these past few weeks. Th-ey..gon-natakemy ma-ma buck-board. His breathing was becoming more labored, and just by looking at his clammy face, it was very clear just how much pain he was in, both physically and now emotionally. I just didnt know what to do., Ben grabbed hold of his sons hand as he tried to console the young man, something he hadnt had to do in a very, very long time. Hopefully Pa got the telegraph and will be here soon. I was to marry her after my wife died, so Dax here would have a mother. He banged the back of Joes head against the desk and demanded, Did you hear me? Have a seat, Roy., Thanks, Ben. He took off his hat and began fidgeting with it. Let me see what damage you have done to my work. Knowing he wouldnt get a response he calmly spoke to his semi-conscious patient. Well, as comfortable as he could be. You did the best you could. I felt obligated to repay her. He rubbed his face with both hands as he heaved a deep sigh. Adam interrupted him. Not completely, for who really does after such a tragedy. ,Joe..Joe. It was a failed attempt. You did this, you and that filthy father of yours! David screamed, whipping out a knife and jamming it into the back of Joes left shoulder. He needs me. I let Joe down. Marie had been unaware of his existence, as he would sit in the far corner drinking alone while listening to Marie De Marigny tell her stories. Oh, Marie, I am so sorry. Hed been playing checkers with his Pa on the front porch, when Maries horse had reared up, throwing her to the hard ground, rendering her unconscious. Who is she? Come on, I need you to stay awake.

Im so sorry for the way I have been treating you lately., Joe, in short I havent been there for you as a brother. He confessed. Oh, but it hurts so much. Ad-am! It was evident that Adam was having difficulty concentrating. No, I dont mind at all. But the only problem is that it's not. David noticed it was a picture of Marie. Adam?, Are you okay, son? Dont you understand that? He sucked in a deep breath as he raked his fingers through his sweaty black hair. He vaguely saw who gave him a towel, but slowly began erasing his crimson covered hands.
