The Headless horseman of Lincoln County New Mexico

Chapter 24 a day of sadness

Chavez and I were in town getting some supplies for John's best Halloween party ever the Murphy and Dolan boys came into and they saw us and started trouble and Chavez takes the bullet for me and he is badly hurt Balto won't leave his side at all he whines and cries and howls and gets so upset I calm him down. and then I run into woods and cry. I get shot by one of the Murphy and Dolan boy but this time I didn't even care if died this time. Balto stayed by Chavez's bedside and never left his bedside. but never came back I lay in the woods where I was shot. by the next 10 weeks Chavez wakes up and gets better but nobody has seen me for days and weeks. and Balto is happy that Chavez is better  but he and Chavez are very worried about me. because I haven't been seen for weeks and it is now going on to the end of month. Doc tells Chavez that I ran into the woods to cry and pray but that has been over 12 weeks ago. Balto starts to howl and whine and cry louder Chavez calms him down but not for very long Chavez starts getting worried just like Balto is. Custer sits in the barn howling just like Batlo is doing. Charley can't stand it. and nobody knows where I am. but Balto finds my sent and barks to get Chavez and Doc he leads them to where I am laying and I am out cold. but I will wake up from this. two dogs stays with me and so dose Chavez until I wake up.
