Chavez's POV: I woke up early this morning my  dog a German Shepherd dog to be exact was laying down at the foot of my bed I sat up yawning trying my hardest to wake up the sun was starting to come up over the horizon I had feeling it was going to be a beautiful day out it was going to cold as hell outside but I didn't care I got up got dressed as I was finishing getting dressed my dog who I haven't named yet I'm not even sure if the dog is a male or female but nevertheless my dog was waiting by the door to my bedroom the dog was waiting for me I shook my head trying to wake up I didn't sleep very well last night I had a terrifying nightmare that I was watching my entire family being butchered by Murphy&Dolan's boys and the United States Army as well right in front of me and I couldn't do anything about it the nightmare was so terrifying that I actually threw myself my bed and whacked my head and man did that hurt so I guess I have a pounding headache this morning I'll bet Steve is going to have a blast with that trying to get me riled up I opened up my bedroom door and let my dog I swear that dog follows me everywhere I go I had found it a couple months ago starving and looking for food so I took the dog in and made sure it was doing okay as I was walking towards the house Chivato came up to me

Morning Chavez he said

Morning Chivato I replied

Hey Chavez can we go into town today? Chivato asked curiously

Oh I don't know Chivato "did you ask John? I asked

His face shifted from a smiling boy to a frown I looked down at the ground as if he was ashamed he still fairly new here and all I could tell he was still nervous he had only been here three months I still remember that cold September day when I found him in that old ragged barn on the edge of Lincoln he had stolen some food from John's store I went up to him and let him know that I wasn't going to hurt him he was just a kid 17 years old was how old he was he and I formed a very close and tight bond with each other ever since that day I found him

No I didn't ask John I'm scared he'll get mad at me Chivato said

Oh don't worry Chivato John won't get mad here I'll ask John if we could go into town today for you "how's that is that better? I asked

His lit up with excitement I smiled softly and ruffled his hair and hugged him we walked into the house and went over to the table to have breakfast John was sitting at the head of the table reading the independent our local newspaper Chivato and I sat down in our usual places and started eating breakfast after a while I finally spoke up

Hey John is it okay if me and Billy go into town today Billy really wants to go I said

Oh I don't see why not Jose "why didn't William ask? John asked a little surprised

He was scared to ask you because he thought you were going to get mad at him for asking and he's still fairly new here I answered

Well that's alright you two gentlemen can go into town today you have my blessing John said

I looked over at Chivato who was scarfing his breakfast down like crazy it was like he hadn't eaten in months

William don't scarf down your food like that eat it slow we don't starve anything on this ranch John scolded

Sorry Chivato apologized

Well I guess we can go into town today Billy I said

Chivato looked at me confused as to why I was calling him by his name instead of the nickname I gave him I figured that John wouldn't like me give him a nickname so when I'm in front of John I use his name and when it's just the two of us I'll call him by his nickname Chivato meant the kid in Spanish I knew very little Spanish from my father so that's how I knew what Chivato meant Chivato finished his breakfast he didn't hear me tell him that we're going to into town I put my plate in the sink and went to catch up with Chivato I didn't eat very much I wasn't very hungry I caught up with Chivato outside on the front porch

Chivato guess what I told him

What? Chivato replied

John said that it was okay for us to go to town I said

Really Chavez? I Chivato with glee written on his face

Yes really Chivato we can go to town I said

Yes! Chivato said with joy and excitement

Okay let's go get our horses ready and we'll ride into town I said

Okay let's do it Chivato replied

We walked into the barn and got our horses ready to go we told John that we would be back in a hour it didn't take long before we rode into town there wasn't much but it was home no matter what
