     Leo was coming back in the cold while Donnie was in the room with the man so Leo got his hat off and headed over in the room to the other side to not be in Donnie's way. " So where is the mark?"
    Donnie looked at Leo after getting a cold cloth on the man's forehead. " It's here. "
    Donnie then grabbed the man and pulling him to the side as it would show passed on his pants a mark of the F for Foot in a circle that was actually the O for outlaw. Leo narrowed his eyes and looked to Donnie saying to him calmly. " Once he can ride a horse without pain or bleeding then that's when he goes. "
    Donnie nods his head getting him back to his back but as Leo was at the door he turned his face to look at the man at this time his cheeks were a little red from the fever. ' I better keep an eye on him tonight...'

    At the end of the day Mikey, Leo, and Donnie where eating while Leo was eating a little slower than normal as Mikey first finished. " Leo, you okay?"
    Leo looked at Mikey then Donnie as he placed his spoon down. " Yeah... I just wish father didn't pass... There is so much I didn't learn from him..."
     " That is true... But I'm sure he is happy that we know how to keep the farm up with him in peace." Leo only nods his head while Donnie then got done as they two would then go to sleep as Leo sat there still slowly eating.
    But once he was done he cleaned his bowl and spoon then went to Splinters room seeing the man still out while his cheeks were a little redder. So Leo went over and in grabbing a stool sitting on it looking at the man with a thinking look. ' What were you doing out there in the snow outlaw?'

~ ~ ~
    Leo was asleep on the stool when his head was leaned to the wall when he soon heard what sounded like light painting and movement in the bed. Leo opened his eyes grunting rubbing his neck feel it feeling a little stiff till he saw the mutant panting hard and shaking while sweat was all over him.
    So he got up and to the man feeling his body as if was also feeling cold while Leo hesitated not sure what to do as he cursed under his lips and started to get undressed and got in the bed holding the man close to trying getting Leo's body heat hoping it would help as best it could while the man still shivered to get his sweat on Leo.
    Leo was not worried about the sweat but when he was laying in the bed with the mutant he felt his cheeks get a little warm never been in a bed with another man or woman. But he soon shook that thought out of his head as he noticed in a few hours the mutant stopped shaking but still panting a little as Leo turned to the cold clothes in the cold water and placed it on the mutants forehead. ' You better get better mutant...'

~ ~ ~
     Leo felt himself about to go to sleep but saw the sun was just about to set up so he got out of the bed and got his clothes on looking at the mutant as he looked a lot better this morning. ' he is lucky I was watching him... Or he would have died from that bad fever last night...'
    As soon as Leo was dressed he went over and saw the mans clothes as Leo grabbed the man's gun and placed not with his clothes then he went out of the room and straight to the door not grabbing his hat as he got out letting a cold breath out.
     He went over to do the same he did yesterday but when he got to the back of the house he froze seeing footprints as if wondering around making Leo narrowing his eyes. He went right back inside and grabbed one of the last two rifles left in the farm as Donnie came out yawning and rubbing his eyes. " Donnie wakes up Mikey looks like we had an unexpected guessed around the back of the house last night."
    Donnie widened his eyes and had a light red cheeks saying fast trying to hide his face. " It could have been just wolf's...."
    " Wolf's? These are a lot bigger prints, Donnie." Leo said looking confused as Donnie then turned to Leo. " I'm sure it was nothing hahaha..."
     Leo stood there confused while he watched his brother then go back to his room as he was still hiding his face. ' Okay... What was that all about?'
    Then grunted came from Splinters room as Leo looked over and walked to the door opening it more seeing the man as he had his eyes still closed but his hand was holding where he got shot making pain grunting noise. " Don't move too much or you will open the wound..."
     As Leo said that still holding the rifle in one hand the mutant opened his green eye and looked at the door seeing Leo. " Where... am I?"
    " At our house... I will have my brother come to check on you so stay laying down. " Leo said having his serious face on as he could see this man was the kind that did get around a lot and not afraid of anything like when he faced the bear.
    Leo then walked out and over to the door that was Donnie's room said after knocking it. " Donnie the, is up will you the check him when you're out?"
     " Y-Yeah..." Leo then walked back and out of the place to do the usual as the man sat up and grabbed his side again looking at it grunting at the people here seeing his Foot outlaw mark. 
    Soon Donnie came in and they looked at each other for a few seconds as he could tell Donnie was the kind that would not be nervous to say what he wants. " Did you wake up in pain?"
    " I got a bullet wound... What do you think?" he said looking sarcastic as Donnie looked at him frowning. " I think you're a bad person that probably deserved to have this..."
      " Then why help me?" Donnie cleaned his wound making the mutant hiss in pain as Donnie said. " I didn't... My older brother told me to..."
