It is the fourth of July and John has let us go to the party in town. We are having fun but the fun did didn't last too long because the Murphy and Dolan boys show up and they start trouble and one of the points his gun at Chavez but his dog Balto knocks Chavez out of the way and takes the bullet meant for him I take off running after them because I have had enough of them starting trouble and us getting blamed for it. if my future is being an outlaw I have a good reason. I keep riding after them. but I don't get very far when I am grabbed from behind and dragged away I am in an old house tied to the chair. and I am blind folded so I can't see anything but I can hear people talking I try to move but I can't move and I feel a sharp pain in my chest and I can feel my blood coming from where I felt the sharp pain in my chest. I sit still and quite in the hope that the people would leave but they don't leave until after dark and I am now alone. I hope and pray that Chavez and Balto are alright. I know that Chavez will be looking for me and he will find me because that is what older brothers do.
