The next camp area was along a ways down the Santee River.
“Aaa-choo,” Sam sneezed while getting on her horse.
Ben walked up to Sam and told her bless you. Sam looked Sasha in the eyes and then climbed up on her saddle.
“Allergies?” Gabriel asked, riding up next to his cousin who had to be allergic to something or another.
“Some, but not a lot,” Sam replied.
Sam had no clue what she was allergic too, but it couldn’t be her horse.
“Whoa,” Sam said pulling on the reins, “Easy girl.”
Sasha calmed down enough where Sam could control her again. Ben realized how much pain Sam was in. Sam had no pain medication with her. Ben doesn’t know, but Sam dislocated her shoulder when she fell into the river. Sam had Gabriel and Jéan try to put her shoulder back into place, but they couldn’t.
“Sam,” Ben started as he rode up next to her, “What happened.”
Sam looked at Ben and replied thoughtfully,, “I think I dislocated my shoulder.”
Sam moved the militia and the army just a little bit further down the Santee River. When the army and the militia got to the camp area, Sam got off her horse and took the reins and walked her to a tree and tied her to the branch. Ben walked up to Sam and helped her put her shoulder back into place. Sam growled in pain as Ben put her shoulder back in place. Sam was in tears as she held on to a branch tightly.
“Almost done,” Ben reassured Sam.
The harder Ben pushed Sam’s shoulder into the socket, the harder Sam gripped the branch. Ben finally got Sam’s shoulder back into the socket. Ben told her to be careful with her shoulder next time. Sam started to roll her eyes but automatically stopped because she knew that Ben didn’t like it when she rolled her eyes.
Sam looked around as if she was scouting out something. Gabriel and his wife, Ann, were writing back and forth to each other until one day Gabriel forgot to send his letter. The militia and the army needed supplies anyway, so they went as a group to the town that Ann was in and when they got there, no one was around.
“Ann!” Gabriel called as many times as he could over the burning church.
With a quiet voice Ann replied, “Gabriel.”
Gabriel got down off his horse and ran towards her. Sam walked towards her horse and sneezed again.
“Ding dang it,” Sam yelled.
“What’s the matter?” Gabriel asked Sam.
“It has to be the shampoo that I use for my horse,” Sam replied, taking her horse to the river.
“Oh, okay,” Gabriel replied as he walked away to go talk to his wife.
Sam knew that if Sasha’s skin was rinsed free of that shampoo that she was using, she would possibly stop sneezing. Sasha got out of the water and Sam dried her off with her saddle blanket and let Sasha run around for a while. Sam walked over to her tent, and someone who looked vaguely familiar was there outside of her tent.
“Is this General Martin’s tent?” the person asked.
“Yeah, come on in,” Sam said inviting the familiar person in.
“Sam, you’ve changed a lot,” the person said shaking her hand.
“Have a seat, Egon,” Sam said sitting down.
“Thank you, but I’d rather stand,” Egon said, standing in front of Sam’s desk.
“What is it that you came to talk to me about?” Sam questioned Egon.
“To see when the war is going to be over,” Egon told Sam.
Sam looked at Egon and said with a sigh “Soon, hopefully,. The Army and the militia only have two more battles, and hopefully Cornwallis is going to surrender at Yorktown.”
“Okay. The reason why I asked is because I was planning a vacation to go to Hazzard to visit a friend,” Egon explained.
Sam nodded as she looked at Egon and Sam handed him a letter addressed to the Ghostbusters, who are the following: Ray Stanz, Peter Venkman, Winston Zeddmore, Janine Melnitz, secretary, Slimer, Egon Spengler, and Louis Tully,tax attorney.
“I better go,” Egon said as he put the letter inside his jacket.
“Before you go, this is for you,” Sam said, handing Egon a letter.
Sam gave Egon a friendship kiss on the cheek before he left to go back to New York. Sam walked out of her tent and waved goodbye to Egon. Sam looked at Jéan and she nodded yes, that it was time to rest for the night before the battle next morning.
