CAROL
CHAPTER I
These two boys, Mike and Paul were on their way home from work. The two had odd jobs as they jus got out of high school, and wanted something to occupy their time besides watching television and playing sports. It happened, that on the way in Paul’s 65 Charger, that Mike jus happened to spot a very old car for sale on some guy’s lawn.
Mike said to Paul, “Let’s stop here. I jus fell in love with that 57 red Chevy. I jus love the way, those fins stick out the back of the car. They make the car seem so long and fancy-looking.”
Then, Paul said to Mike, a bit curious, “Okay, if you, really, want to stop, and see that car, I’ll allow you to look it over if it, really, means a lot to you. Although, I don’t see anything great about that car, myself. However, I realize that you have different interests in cars, than I do.”
As Mike drove him up onto the lawn where the car is setting, he got out of the car, and first, he inspected the outside of the car. As he is, Paul got out of his car, too, and looked at it, himself.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Mike, however as he spotted the sign on the car, he’s surprised because the price said three-hundred dollars. And as Paul, also, is looking around at the car, he noticed, that the oil is leaking, a muffler is hanging down on the car, and the back window is busted besides the upholstery being torn.
As Paul sat in the driver’s seat, trying to feel out the car, Mike said to him as leaned inside the window on the driver’s side, “Doesn’t look like the car is worth the sale price. I’ve noticed that too many things are wrong with it.”
However, Mike ignored him like he isn’t even there, and started talking to the car, “Hey, Carol, you, really, are one nice car. You even have red upholstery, and that color is my favorite color. I think that with a little fix up, that you are going to be one nice car to drive.”
However, Paul said to him as he sat down inside the car next to him, “Do you realize all that’s wrong with this car? It’s jus plain rusting out all over the place. Besides it, probably, doesn’t even start. I’ve jus raised the hood on this car, and the whole engine is, practically, rusted out. Also, one or two of the tires seems to be close to running out of air.”
Mike replied, “C’mon Paul. I’m good at fixing cars, and know it’ll take some work. However, I know that I’ll be able to get this car, back, almost, like new. I’ve got money saved up to pay for the repairs needed on this car. Also, I’ll have all the rust taken off this car, and get a new paint job done on it.”
Then, he tried to start up the car, but the car wouldn’t turn over, and not only that, but the car sounded like a bear growling, and in heat. All Paul heard as Mike kept trying to start the darn thing is that, now, it is sounding like a tiger, roaring like it’s desperate for food.
So, Paul said to him, “You’ve got to be kidding, that you want to buy this thing. It isn’t a car; it’s jus a rusty piece of nothing. Didn’t you notice, also, that this car has no tail lights, and, in the front, there’s, at least, one headlight missing? There’s no way, this car will get very far even if it does, finally, start. This darn thing needs to be overhauled, and a brand new engine put inside it.”
But Mike said to him like he’s desperate, “C’mon now, it’s an old car, and jus needs some fixing up. I love Carol, and this old car, this 57 Chevy, I feel, I, really, need in my life jus because it has been in my dreams, lately. Don’t act like I’m getting married to this car because it’s foolish to think that way.”
Jus as Mike is talking to him on how much he loves this car, Paul, suddenly, saw a car of the same color and make and year before his very eyes. He saw no broken back window; the whole inside of it looked brand new. And even the whole outside of the car, he saw as having a new paint job and lights on it along with a brand new expensive engine. Then, all of a sudden, he is seeing the car like it is, at the current time like he has been hallucinating about this car being brand new.
So, since, Paul couldn’t convince Mike anymore not to talk the owner, who jus walked out the front door of his farm house, he walked over to his car, and listened to Mike and the owner try to talk business.
The owner is a very old guy about eighty years old, and appeared like he’s sickly, and so, Paul realized why the guy was trying to sell this car of his, this piece of nothing. He is too old and sickly to drive the car anymore, so, he has to sell it. Also, he needs the money for his own health care.
So, after Mike walked up to him, standing on the lawn in front of his house, Mike said to the guy, “I want to buy that car on the lawn over there. However I, only, have enough money to put a down payment on it, about one-hundred dollars. I’ll promise you, that I’ll have the rest of the money by tomorrow night. I’m working for a high school in the area, and am getting paid, tomorrow. Also, have been taking a job here and there, fixing one of the neighbor’s cars which has been quite frequently in the last few months.”
“Okay, I’ll tell what I’ll do. I have to get rid of the car because I can’t drive anymore. Also, have a live-in-nurse at the farmhouse here; so, am under a lot of health care, considering I’m about eighty years old. And my doctor doesn’t want me driving because my eyes are pretty bad. So, I’ll lower the price to two hundred dollars.”
“Alright sir. I can get you the rest of the money by tomorrow. By the way, what’s your name, sir?”
“My name’s Mr. Leo Black. Can’t get around anymore because of my health. And my doctor doesn’t want me, driving that car over there. He’s told me, that my eyes are too bad. Also, my concentration, memory and focus are bad.”
“Can I drive the car to a shop, tomorrow, so, I can start fixing it up if I bring the rest of the money, and I owe you, tomorrow, and sir.”
“Yes, in fact, it’s a deal my son. Jus be sure you don’t forget to bring me the rest of the money, tomorrow. Because if you don’t, I’ll find somebody else to whom I can sell this baby.”
So, as the old guy started walking back inside the farmhouse, Mike, then, sporting a happy look on his distraught face because he has been overworking himself, sometimes, in fixing a 57 Cadillac for a neighbor, ran over to Paul. And he, still, is jus sitting inside his 67 yellow Charger. He has been waiting, at least, a half hour for Mike.
As he hopped back inside Paul’s car, Paul remarked to him, “What’s that in your hand? Is that a receipt, you’re holding?”
Mike replied, “It sure is. Mr. Leo Black jus sold me, that 57 red Chevy over on the lawn. I gave him, a down payment of a hundred dollars, and tomorrow, since, I get paid from my neighbor, that day, of four hundred dollars for fixing his car up, I’ll give the old man, Leo, the rest of his money, for Carol, then, tomorrow.”
At first, Paul thought, Mike is jus putting him on. However, it’s because he can’t believe, that Mike didn’t see all that oil on the lawn which has turned the lawn, a bluish color. Also, all that oil has ruined the lawn, and has, already, killed the grass in that area.
So, Paul is in deep thought, “That funky Mike wants to buy from that old man…Well; it’s leaking a lot of oil besides everything else, that’s wrong with it. The engine is, practically, rusted through. None of the windows are sturdy. All of the windows have one or more cracks in them.”
So, Paul wouldn’t say one more word to Mike, and jus drove the rest of the way over to an old house where Mike is renting out a room in that house for twenty dollars a week. It seemed quite cheap to Paul, however the lady, who owned that house, a widow of ten years, seems to be quite a nice and well-bred lady, every time, he happened to encounter her.
After dropping Mike off at that old house on Lawn Street which is down about a block from where he’s living on his own because he makes enough money, doing different jobs over at the high school to be well off enough to afford an apartment for one-hundred dollars, a month.
On the way home to his apartment, he thought to himself, “It’s good, lately, that I’ve, finally, landed that recreation job over at that park near the high school. Now, I can earn enough money to keep paying my rent on my apartment besides have some extra money for going to McDonalds or a movie, sometimes, with Mike. But if he, really, buys that car, he has his heart set on; don’t know how he’s going to afford either a drive-in movie or McDonalds for that matter.”
That night as Paul’s getting ready for bed, he’s having a vision of that car which Mike wants to buy. He has to sit down on his bed right before he can put his pajamas on. Actually, is seeing that same red car, all fixed up, and having so much energy of its’ own, that the headlights, actually, appear angry-looking to him like if they are its eyes. And it’s charging towards his bed, ready to run him over. Also, the darn thing can bend and move like if it’s alive.
Since, Paul is starting to shake a lot, he lay on his bed on his stomach, and jus put the pillows on his bed over his head as he, also, can hear the roar of the darn car. It’s turned into a tiger, and now, its colors are orange and white.
As he lay there, he’s in deep thought, “Oh my gosh. What is happening to me? It’s as if that darn car, that Mike wants to buy, is coming after me. It won’t let up on me either. It’s, as though, I’m being haunted by this darn car.”
But after he let out a big scream, there’s, suddenly, dead silence all around him. So, he, finally, fell asleep until the landlord came running over to his apartment, and banged on his door.
As he’s waking up, although, he thought, he had been asleep, but, really, isn’t asleep at all, he leaped out of his bed. As he did so, he walked over to the door, and upon peaking out the eye hole, saw it is the landlord at the door. So, as he opened the door, he’s surprised to see her.
He’s, still, scared inside, so, he has a wide-eyed look on his face, as the landlord said to him, “What in the world was all that racket? The resident who lives next door to you, jus complained to me, that she overheard some weird noise. Also, this man told me, that it sounded like it has been coming from your apartment. Now, all this noise has got to stop.”
So, he said to her, “I couldn’t help it. I have been trying to go to sleep. However, I had this nightmare of a car. It, actually, seemed like if it has been trying to get through the door to my apartment. I guess I’m being haunted by this darn car.”
She said to him, “And you appear to be, almost, ready to fall on the floor. Are you sure, you’re okay? Maybe, what you need is some help. I’ve never seen you like this before. And you’ve been living in this apartment for about a year now. You’re not having a reaction to any medication; you’re taking, are you?”
He responded to her, “No, I’m taking medication for my nerves, but I never had any reaction from it before. I’ve been taking it for awhile now.”
So, she said to him, a big puzzled, “You’d better have yourself some tea to calm yourself down. Maybe, I should take you right to emergency. You seem to be acting like you’re having a seizure.”
He said to her, “I’m trying to tell you, I jus had a nightmare. So, I’ll have some tea to stop myself from shaking.”
Then, she said to him, “Okay, do that, but if it doesn’t help, be sure to call an ambulance. Because you could be having seizures, and not be aware of it. And if I ever hear any residents in this apartment building, complain of you, making any weird noises, I’ll have to have you taken to a mental institution.”
Then, he said to her, “All right, I assure you, if these nightmares keep occurring, I’ll go see a psychiatrist about it. I might have what is referred to as Schizophrenia. I’ll make sure, that this doesn’t happen anymore.”
So, then, the landlord locked up her office for the night, and then, took off herself for home. She needed to get home and in bed for the night, herself, because she would be having another long work shift ahead of her, tomorrow.
The next morning after Paul woke up, and had some breakfast after hearing his alarm clock go off, the first time, that came upon his mind, is that he’s glad, the weekend is, finally, here. But, since, Mike doesn’t have a car of his own, yet, that’s in good condition for driving, as soon as he’s ready, he hopped into his Charger after making sure the apartment door is locked, securely.
On the way over to Mike’s apartment, he thought to himself, “What’s with Mike, lately? Can’t figure out he could have fallen in love with a piece of junk like that 57 Chevy. Ever since, he’s noticed that funky car on the old guy’s lawn, he’s hasn’t been acting like himself.”
As soon as he arrived over at Mike’s apartment, “what a way to start the day with all that rain which is coming down,” he’s thinking, “If that old man didn’t put that old car of his into the garage, last night, the darn car will, probably, be soaking wet. Not only that, but the car will, probably, be won’t be drivable from being so drenched from all this rain.”
He knocked on the door of Mike’s apartment, and before he realized it, his friend, literally, ran out the door, and landed in Paul’s arms. Paul is kind of shocked at first, but he jus stood there for a few minutes, trying to get a hold of himself. Then, as he and Mike were walking over to Paul’s Charger, Paul said to Mike.
“I can’t believe that you, really, want this junky car. I don’t know what you see in buying this car. Do you realize, that if you buy this car, that it is going to need a complete overhaul? That car is very old, and looks as if it never had any good work done on it.”
Mike said to him as the two got into Paul’s car, “What I’m going to do with that car, is take over a Dave’s garage on Duvall Street which isn’t far from here at all. In fact, it’s close to that old guy’s farmhouse which makes it convenient for me. I jus hope, that I don’t have any trouble, starting the car, this morning, because it has been raining all night long.”
Paul said to him, “Where are you, going to get the money to fix up that 57 Chevy after you buy it? It costs, at least, thirty dollars or so, a day, jus to rent a stall over at that garage. What are you going to do? Are you going to spend what time you have on your hands, to work on your car?”
Mike said to him, feeling very confident about that old car, “That 57 Chevy, Carol, which I’ve been having my eye on, lately, shouldn’t be that hard for me to fix up. I have all that know-how which I’ve developed from taking auto mechanics in school. Also, my dad, also, has been letting me, help him, fix his cars whenever he needs the help, and I’ve been working on my neighbor’s car, too.”
While they were on their way back over to that old guy’s house, Paul replied, “I don’t think, that you realized, jus how much work, it’s going to take to fix up that old car which you’ve had your eye on, lately. In fact, I don’t know where you’re going to get all that money to fix it up either. And for a good paint job, it must cost, at least, five-hundred dollars or so, being that the whole car is so old, that the whole thing, is, practically, rusted out. At a paint shop, guys don’t work for measly dollars, you know.”
As soon as they arrived at that old guys’ house, Paul pulled up his Charger on the grass. However, that 57 Chevy which Mike wanted to buy isn’t there where it, originally, has been. So, Mike jumped out of the car, and walked up to the front door of the farmhouse, hoping that the old guy could give him, a good excuse. It appeared to be, that he might have sold the car to someone else, and could have jinxed Mike into giving him a down payment on the car.
Jus after Mike knocked on the door of the farmhouse, the old guy appeared at the door in the same ragged-looking clothes, he had on yesterday. The same old jeans along with a red and green plaid flannel shirt on being that the morning is somewhat chilly, today. Also, he figured that this old man must have a corset on because he’s standing so straight, and not leaning over. And at his old age, usually, a person’s posture has seen its days.
So, the old guy said to Mike, “Oh, I see that you showed up, today to buy that old 57 Chevy of mine which I can’t drive anymore. Do you have all your money to pay me, this morning?”
Mike replied, “Yes, I do. Jus before my friend, Paul, picked me up, today, I walked over to the high school to pick up my paycheck. So, I have the money, I owe you right here in my pocket.”
As he dug into his pocket of his jeans, and pulled out his wallet, he, suddenly, realized, that he hadn’t tried out the car yet. So, while the old man is following him over to the car which is in the garage, Mike is hoping, that the car will start being it’s been so damp all night long.
As Mike and the old guy arrived at the garage, Paul jumped out of his Charger and ran over to the garage to see what’s going on. And jus now, the old guy opened up the garage, Mike and Paul are surprised to see the 57 Chevy in the garage.
So, in the meantime, the old guy jus stood there by the garage, as Mike crawled into the front seat, and jus sat there at steering wheel try to get the car to start. And he’s trying to keep starting the car, hoping it’ll turn over, Paul has jus crawled into the front seat next to him.
While Mike won’t seem to give up on getting the car to start, Paul starts feeling like he’s hearing the car, talk to him, “Boy, if I start for Mike, what are you going to think about me and him being in love? It’s going to turn out to be a strange love because I bet, neither of you have heard about a guy being in love with a car like he has been. In fact, soon, you are going to see me as the best car, you’ve ever seen in your life, and wish Mike never bought this car.”
Then, Paul, suddenly, heard the car start like if it’s screaming to get out of that garage, and get on the road. And at jus that time, it started up, Paul happens to have a vision of the car as if it was all fixed up, already.
And he thought, “The old man has spent all night, getting the car in shape.”
But Paul didn’t know that the car, still, is the same way like it had been yesterday when he and Mike were eying that car.
Being the car is running, now, Mike is pulling out of the garage as if the car, suddenly, is a brand new car. But jus before he did, Paul jumped out of the car because for some odd reason, he grew afraid of the car like it’s about to possess him or Mike.
However, since, Mike didn’t pay the old man, his money for the car yet, he stopped the car. Then, he got out of the car, and handed the old man, the one-hundred dollars, he owed him yet. And Paul jus couldn’t’ believe his eyes as the old man had a weird look on his face, and his eyes appeared to be evil-looking as he handed Mike, the receipt for the 57 Chevy.
So, Paul thought, “What is the real reason why Mike wants this old car, so bad? He’s been like this car is his whole life, and that he loves this car like an old love flame.”
At this point, Paul hopped out of his Charger, and looked around the car again. All the rust on the outside of the car appeared like it had been scraped off. However that is all that had been done on the 57 Chevy except that the gas tank has been filled and the oil changed on the car. But the car, still, looked in bad shape, so, Paul said to Mike as he hopped back into the 57 Chevy as he was leaning through the window on the driver’s side.
“I think, that you’re, completely, nuts for buying this car. You’ve been acting like this car is part of your family. And that if you didn’t buy this car, that you would have been one sad and deprived person. Also, you seem like you’ve been in crazy love with this car, ever since, you spotted it from the street.”
So, then, Mike tried starting the car, and he didn’t get the car to start.
However, Paul is in deep thought, “the car sounds jus like a cat in heat. But one more time at that ignition… Boy, that car is something else. It is acting like a bear after its prey. My, the whole car is shaking. I’m feeling in my guts. That car is being a real menace.”
Then, as Mike drove the car out of the garage, and made it onto the street, Paul followed him as Mike drove his 57 Chevy over to the garage, and then, into an empty stall. Since, Mike didn’t want to leave jus yet, Paul jus left him there amongst a crowd of guys who weren’t working at the time. They jus were over in a corner of one of the other empty stalls, having the time of their life. So, they must have been on a break because they’re drinking beer to Mike’s surprise as he started his work on his car.
Paul is on his way over to the high school to a job of his which he jus got, lately, being that the weather is getting warmer, and this means, that the kids are out of school for the school year. And he’s going to have a full afternoon of taking care of these kids’ jus because their mothers love letting them play over at the school.
In the meantime, Mike is using some tool to get all the rust off of Carol while he’s eyeing these guys in his stall, smoking away, and drinking their beer. As Mike is working on his 57 Chevy, his dear Carol, he’s thinking, “How do all these parents find the time to watch their kids play over at the school, all afternoon, where Paul is watching them, making sure, that none of them get hurt in the long run in looking after their safety?”
As Paul is jus sitting on a white, plastic chair watching these kids play on the bars and all the other stuff like the swings, he, suddenly, is having this vision of the 57 Chevy, of which Mike is a proud owner. In this vision, he’s seeing the car without Mike inside of it, and it’s speeding down the street over to the school. And as it’s arriving at the school, suddenly, it’s racing into the school over to where he’s sitting and trying to relax.
But, all of a sudden, he’s finding himself, screaming and withering all over the place. He’s jus fallen out of his chair, and is shaking like a leaf on the lawn which brought one of the nursery people, running out of the school and over to where Paul is lying on the lawn, still, shaking.
So, upon seeing him on the lawn, she, immediately, called an ambulance over her cell phone. Then, she had to watch all the kids there until the ambulance pulled into the school parking lot along with the rescue squad. Since, the woman didn’t know what to do in this case, she shouted out to a mother, getting ready to take her kids back home with her.
“Hey, come on over here.--Paul, who, usually, watches the kids during the afternoon, has, apparently, had a seizure, and can’t move right now. -- He appears like he’s in a daze, so, please watch the other kids for me.”
As the mother ran over to her, she couldn’t believe her eyes. And either could one of the women from the nursery being that Paul never has had a seizure before while at work. So, jus then, as the woman from the nursery is trying to watch Paul, and is giving him, some green tea to relax his muscles, the ambulance and fire squad pulled up.
One of the paramedics placed an IV into his arm as the other one, administered some 400 milligrams of Dilantin and Ativan which seemed to stop Paul from having another seizure. So, then, he’s alright, but since, the woman from the nursery found a number and a name of his friend, Mike, in his wallet, she called over at the garage.
And upon the guy, who runs the garage, answering the phone, he said to the woman, “Hello, who is this?”
The woman replied to the guy, “I need to speak with Mike right away. Is he, still, there at the garage, and if he is, bring him to the phone right away. His friend, Paul, jus has gone through a seizure, apparently, caused by mental stress because he was screaming when he had the seizure. So, if he can, get Mike over here at the school right away if his 57 Chevy is in good enough condition to get over here.”
So, then, the owner of the garage didn’t bring Mike to the phone. He, simply, went over to Mike, and said to him, “Your friend, Paul, isn’t in good condition. He had a seizure, and needs to be taken to mental ward. Please meet the woman in the yard over at the school. She’ll be there along with the paramedics.”
Mike didn’t know what to say, so, he dropped what he’s doing, and drove his beloved Carol, 57 Chevy, over to the school, after it started while sounding like a bear after its prey. And as soon as he arrived over at the school, he didn’t want to take any chance in following the woman over to the mental ward. So, he jus left his 57 Chevy over at the school, and the woman drove Paul’s Charger with Mike and Paul in the back seat of it over the mental ward.
And as they arrived there at the mental institution, a doctor heard the woman, pull up the Charger in the parking lot because the car had a loud roar to it in being a type of race car. So, he came running out into the parking lot with another doctor as they wheeled a gurney over to the Charger. Jus after they set Paul on the gurney, it got wheeled back into the mental institution.
Paul, still, in his daze, is in deep thought, “What’s going on with me? Everyone seems to be saying that I had a seizure. But never had one before in my life. And here I am in a mental institution. I can see what that darn car of Mike’s that 57 Chevy is doing to me. It’s making me, go crazy.”
And since, the woman had to sign some papers, and also, Mike; too, about consent for Paul to have treatment over at the place, as soon as both signed the papers, Paul got admitted into the place. Once, one of the doctors got him into a room, he had to be strapped down, and given some more Dilantin and Ativan along with a very potent Haldol shot which knocked Paul out right away.
So, then, the woman drove Mike back to the school to get his car, and since, Mike didn’t know if the car would make it back home, again, the woman had to follow him in Paul’s charger because Mike’s car is being left there for now. But Mike and the woman don’t know it, but Mike’s 57 Chevy is alive like the Knight Rider from the series along with being able to talk.
Mike jus happened to be so proud of his 57 Chevy that he’s in deep thought, “So, it’s out in the street. Oh no, what’s my Carol doing?” Jus now, he looks out the back window and thinks, he’s having a dream of his Carol.
This 57 Chevy has tracked the Charger down, it’s following both Mike and the woman, thinking that it can plow them down. Carol is steaming, and is out to kill Mike, and wants him dead.
So, every time, Mike has been working on his car, he wasn’t aware of his 57 Chevy becoming more life-like and turning into a Knight Rider version of a car.
Once, the woman pulled into the school driveway, she, herself, saw Mike’s car as being so shiny, that it’s blinding her. And, although, Mike hasn’t finished working on his car yet, to both him and the woman, it appears to be brand new.
But only Mike’s aware, that his car is in so much love with him, that it doesn’t want to leave him alone now, since, it hasn’t been able to hunt down Paul. All it could do to Paul is to put him in a mental ward from having a seizure due to him, having seen a vision of the 57 Chevy while inside the school yard.
Then, upon Mike getting inside his 57 Chevy which started like a bear again, the woman jus followed him again, and this time, she drove Paul’s Charger over to his place. And but as she got out of his Charger, Mike, no longer, is in sight, so, she thought to herself.
“I wonder where Mike and his 57 Chevy are at this time. I thought he used to be right in front of me as I pulled into this parking lot. I’m feeling like I’m being haunted inside, and don’t know why, I’m feeling this way.”
So, she walked back to the school to get her car, since, it’s in within walk able distance. As she arrived there, Mike’s car is there in the parking lot. However Mike doesn’t seem to be in the car and its headlights are glaring over at her. So, she, immediately, got into her car very fast, and drove for home. And on the way, the 57 Chevy jus has pulled out of the school driveway, and is fierce as a tiger, following her all the way home.
And as she pulled into her driveway, she looked through the rear view, only, to see the 57 Chevy in her driveway, still, without Mike inside it. And as she got out of her car, she screamed, and then, the 57 Chevy, actually, ran her over. After it did, it raced out of the driveway, and then, over to the garage. However, Mike is nowhere to be seen. He, somehow, got run over by his 57 Chevy, too, and is in another world.
In the meanwhile, Paul is sleeping in his bed when, suddenly, the car raced over to the mental ward, and then, through the whole mental institution. And not only is Paul dead, but everyone including the doctors have been killed, and the car is yelling out, “Wow, didn’t know I was so powerful. Here all these people are dead. So, I’ve accomplished my mission which I started when Paul started having nightmares and then, his seizures.”

EACH TIME EITHER I OR MY HUNTING BUDDY HAD A KILL ON OUR HANDS, WE WOULD THEN, BRING IT HOME TO MY PLACE. AND FROM THERE, TACKLE CLEANING THE DEER OR MOOSE AS A TEAM. WHEN WE WOULD END UP WITH AT LEAST ONE MORE MOOSE OR DEER DURING HUNTING SEASON, WE WOULD HAVE THE HEAD OF THE MOOSE OR DEER STUFFED. THEN IN MY FAVORITE ROOM, WE WOULD PUT UP A HEAD OR TWO. IT ENDED UP, THAT THE DAY CAME WHEN MY ROOM, FINALLY, ENDED UP GETTING KIND OF FULL OF THOSE STUFFED HEADS. THEN, MY HUNTING BUDDY DECIDED TO TAKE ONE OR TWO OF THOSE STUFFED MOOSE OR DEER HEADS RIGHT ON HOME WITH HIM. SO, HE STARTED COLLECTING THESE DEER HEADS AT HOME FOR HIMSELF.
MY HUNTING BUDDY IS, MOSTLY, IN MY MEMORIES. AND EVERY SO OFTEN, I HAPPEN TO DREAM OF THE TWO OF US BEING ON THE TRAILS BEHIND MY HOUSE. ALSO, DURING SOME OF THE DREAMS, I COULD SEEM TO HEAR THE ECHOES OF HIS VOICE. DURING THESE STRANGE DREAMS, I SEEMED TO HEAR HIS VOICE IN MY HEAD. THEN, TO ME, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE HIS VOICE WAS COMING THROUGH THE WINDS DURING SOME BIG STORM WITH HIGH WINDS. THEN, DURING THESE TIMES, THE WINDS WOULD SOUND SO EERIE TO ME. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER THESE SOUNDS WOULD SEEM TO OVERCOME ME. I WOULD TEND TO LOSE SOME SLEEP OVER THEM WHEN TRYING TO TAKE A NAP. HOWEVER AT NIGHT, THESE SOUNDS WOULDN’T SEEM SO EERIE TO ME. AND WOULD HELP ME, SLEEP. DURING THESE TIMES, MEMORIES WOULD COME BACK TO ME. AND SOMETIMES, IT WOULD SEEM THAT I WAS, REALLY, SEEING MY FRIEND IN WHITE AT MY SIDE. THIS WOULD SEEM TO HAPPEN TO ME, WHENEVER I WOULD HEAD DOWN CERTAIN TRAILS WHEN HUNTING ALONE. SOMETIMES, THIS WOULD OCCUR. THEN, I WOULDN’T EVEN KNOW IF I WAS ABSORBED IN A HUNTER’S DREAM. OR OVERHEARD HIS VOICE IN THE WIND. THEN, FROM REALIZING THIS, IT WOULD HIT ME, OUT OF THE BLUE. MY HUNTING BUDDY WAS, ACTUALLY, TRYING TO SEND ME MESSAGES FROM ABOVE. AT THESE TIMES, IN THE WINDS, HIS VOICE WOULD SEEM VERY MUCH ALIVE. ALTHOUGH, MY HUNTING BUDDY’S, NO LONGER, ON EARTH. HOWEVER, AT TIMES, I CAN SENSE HIS PRESENCE AT MY SIDE. AND CAN, ACTUALLY, CATCH A VISION OF HIM. DRESSED IN HIS USUAL CAMOUFLAGE OUTFIT ALONG WITH THE EXACT SAME CAP, AN ORANGE ONE, WHICH HE USED TO WEAR. AND THIS I REMEMBER FROM WHEN HE, STILL, WAS ALIVE. AND WOULD GO HUNTING ON THOSE VERY FAMILIAR TRAILS WITH ME. WHENEVER MY FAITHFUL HUNTING WOULD BE HAVING ONE OF HIS HIGHS, HE’D EVEN TAKE ME ON DOWN TO THOSE SWAMPS.
I’M CAUGHT IN A HUNTER’S DREAM BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I’VE BEEN OVERCOME BY SOME HAUNTING INSIDE OF ME. AND THIS HAUNTING, I BELIEVE, HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON BY A GOOD HUNTING BUDDY WHICH I MISS TERRIBLY. IN FACT, THIS HUNTING BUDDY, I USED TO HAVE, NEVER FAILED TO GO WITH ME ON EVERY HUNTING TRIP, I EVER HAVE UNDERTAKEN. THIS GUY WAS SUCH A GOOD FRIEND TO ME, THAT HE’LL ALWAYS BEEN IN MY DREAMS WHETHER DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT. I WON’T FORGET HOW HE USED TO HAVE ALL THIS COURAGE INSIDE HIM, EVERY TIME; WE USED TO GO HUNTING TOGETHER. EVERY TIME, WE WENT HUNTING, I USED TO ALLOW HIM TO PICK OUT WHATEVER TRAILS; WE WERE TO TAKE THROUGH THE FORESTS. HE, ALWAYS, WOULD STAY AT MY SIDE, AND GIVE ME ALL THE CONFIDENCE, I NEEDED EACH TIME, WE WENT HUNTING. AND THIS CONFIDENCE WOULD SEEM TO STICK WITH ME ALL THE TIME, CAUSING ME TO BE ABLE TO KILL A DEER OR MOOSE OFTEN.

WILD IRISH ROSE-CHAPTER V-BY CHERYL V.
WILD IRISH ROSE-CHAPTER V
After the fifteen minutes went by, all who, originally, were inside the court for Sonny’s trial, reentered and sat down in their seats and were waiting for the jury to present the judge with the final decision. So, then, someone walked up to the judge and gave him, the jury’s decision that was listed on the papers which the person handed the judge at this time.
So the judge jus told everyone in a formal voice, “Okay, now, it’s time for the final decision from this envelope which I’m opening up, and jus have been handed from a member of the jury. In fact, the plaintiff has been charged for lying in court, on top of being charged guilty for attempted murder, numerous kidnapping charges. So Sonny ends up with a life sentence, and no hard labor if handled properly, can bring hi out of this one. Now, everyone may leave except for the plaintiff.”
PROLOGUE:
Bob thought, “You know, my dear, I’m strong-willed. No longer, do I have to fight to keep you. We both are aware of all this affection, we have between us. We have been having this for some time. Am going to continue to stay at your side. Will; keep giving you, all my support. Whatever it takes to get you back to your old self again. So, we, always, will be together.”
She thought, “We have been getting closer, every passing day and night. We have full trust in each other. Because of your support, my life, greatly, has improved. Am going to keep leaning on you, so our affection for each other will keep growing until it has reached its peak.”
Being Rosa lee has been getting sick, every morning, but doesn’t feel like she’s pregnant yet.
Bob’s going to stay at her side, and keep offering her, his comfort, and because both of them are having feelings of deep warmth for each other.
He said to her, one day, because he’s curious about her, “Do you think that Sonny ever tried to make love to you during your kidnappings?”
“No, certainly, not, if I ever was aware of it, I would have let you, know right away. Besides I care for you too much, Bob. In fact, that time, Sonny tried to pin me down in the school yard; he never had the chance to do anything to me.”
‘If I ever find out…that you’re pregnant…and the baby turns…out to be Sonny’s…he can’t have…custody of the baby anyways. Will, still, love…the baby...no matter if it…turns out to be his baby.”
In fact, Bob did, finally, remember making love to her, that one night, after she wasn’t in the mood for it. He had a memory of waking up during that night, and doing it with her in her sleep. But, for one thing, although, the two made love, occasionally, he doesn’t know if she remembered to take her birth control pills, every morning.
So he said to her while they were, still, at the school, and sitting in the cafeteria, eating lunch, “You know something…my darling, Wild Irish Rose…with you, having…been taking birth control pills…I think that I…made love to you…that one night…when you…weren’t in the mood for it. And I don’t…remember, you taking…your birth control pill…that night.”
Bob didn’t know if she really was having morning sickness. But he said to her, anyways, “If you ever…become pregnant, after you…have your baby…we should…get married, right away…so the baby has…a mother and father who…will make sure,…he or she is…take care, of properly. If you happen…to skip a month. Then, you should…see a doctor, right away…for regular monthly checkups…to make sure…that the baby is…doing alright.”
“Do you mind if I move into the mansion, so I get good care from the live-in-nurse?”
“I talked this…over with my parents, already. My parents have…agreed to allow you…to live at the mansion…whether you’re…pregnant or not. You don’t have…to tell me right now…if you want…to get married or not. But if…that queasy feeling…you are having…in the morning, persists. Then, you should…see a doctor…right away to find out…if you’re…going through a real pregnancy. If you are…then, we should consider…getting married right away. Then, the baby will…need to be in a family…right after it’s born…because it’ll need…a mother and father.”
“Do I get a guest bedroom, or can I move in with you in your bedroom?”
“Should move…in right away. My parents told me…that you can…have one of the guest bedrooms. You shouldn’t…move in with me…because they will…get the wrong idea. But, if you ever…have a baby…then, you can…move in with me. But don’t…worry about…being pregnant right now. Jus be sure…to see the dietician…my mom has…hired for you. And avoid street drugs…and other unnecessary drugs…along with alcohol. Will be best for you…to move into the mansion…jus in case…you ever…find out you’re pregnant. Because the live-in-nurse…will need to be sure…you get…the right care in that case.”
Bob took a day off from high school to help her, move into his parents’ mansion. So in his red car, he followed a moving van over to her parents’ house, on one sunny, but not hot day. As soon as the moving van arrived over at her parents’ house, he hopped out of his truck. Then, he led the moving guys into the house after she opened up the front door.
So the moving guys would know what stuff to move, Bob said to them, “Follow me into Rosa lee’s bedroom, first. And after all her furniture and computer has been moved out of her bedroom, be sure to take the brown corduroy lazy boy chair from the living room. Also there’s some clothes and stuff, already, packed on the front lawn. That stuff, I’ll pack into my truck.”
After all the stuff was moved into the van and Bob’s truck, Rosa lee hopped into his truck, and they followed the moving van over to the mansion.
On the way over to the mansion, she said to him, “Boy, this is wild. It feels good to move out of that ranch house. Won’t have my parents, running my life. And living at your parents’ mansion, will be different for me. Am four months along in my pregnancy? But it feels weird to me in gaining all this weight. Makes me, feel like a blimp. But will get used to feeling this way. Am, already, feeling like a mother, although, the baby’s not even born yet.”
He said to her, “Hope, you’re going…to enjoy your pregnancy, now. Know it must feel…awkward to be…gaining all that weight. But it’s necessary…to hold all that liquid…off of which…the baby is feeding. And before…you know it…you’ll be able…to feel the baby…kicking inside you. That’s going to…be another weird feeling to you. That’s, partly, because…you’ve never…been pregnant…before in your life.”
They all arrived over at the mansion about fifteen minutes later. Once, all of the moving guys are out of the van, they started to bring in all of her furniture, first, which the moving guys moved into the basement area.
One day, when Bob got ready to go to the high school along with Rosa lee, she’s seven months along in her pregnancy. She’s shocked to get out of bed, and could feel, that her bed is soaked. Not knowing what to do; she called a maid over to her bedroom right away with the live-in-nurse. She knew her water’s broken. It’s very obvious to her.
The live-in-nurse said to Rosa lee, “Jus sit tight, and lie down, and don’t do any pushing. Will be right there. I’ll also send a maid to your room to take care of your bedding,” replied the live-in-nurse in an anxious tone of voice.
So in no time at all, both a maid along with the live-in-nurse where there in Rosa lee’s bedroom. While the maid attended to her bad, the live-in-nurse is surprised to see Rosa lee, cramped up on the floor, and in tears, and that she’s going into labor, only being seven months along in her pregnancy being she isn’t due for another two months.
So while the live-in-nurse is doing hr best to try to calm her down, she called Bob over her cell phone, and said to him, “Hello, Bob, this is the live-in-nurse. Am in Rosa lee’s bedroom right now, and she jus woke up, and her water has broken. There’s a mess on her bed, and the maid is here, trying to change the bed, and dry off her bed with the fan in the bedroom.”
Luckily, he’s in his master bedroom, so with a puzzled voice, he said to the live-in-nurse, “Hello, yes…is something, the matter? Am surprised…that you’re making…a call to me at…this time of morning. Is Rosa lee…alright, miss?”
“There’s nothing seriously wrong with her. It’s jus that she’s about ready to eat her breakfast. And she jus happened to notice that her bed is soaking wet. Apparently, she has broken her water bag, and she’s started to have contractions which are five minutes apart.”
Bob has a wide look on his face as he’s so surprised, and kind of shocked about Rosa lee, so he replied, “Don’t know…how I’m going to…get her there to the hospital. In time before she…has her baby. Please do all…you can because…You know…what to do in this case. The hospital’s too…far away for the butler…or anyone for that matter.”
“What do you suggest I, do for her? I’m not a regular obstetrics nurse. Never have delivered babies before at home. How about calling your girlfriend’s mother? She used to work in obstetrics?”
“Okay, I’ll call her right away. In the meantime, please do all you can to keep her, calmed down if you can? Don’t let her, get carried away, and push out the baby before it’s ready to be born.”
“While I’m waiting for her mother, I’ll try to get Rosa lee to eat her breakfast. Please place the portable tray in front of her. She must eat, she’ll need all the energy, she can get to deliver her baby.”
“Okay, Bob, however go ahead, and tell her mom, that we need her over here on the double.”
“Better yet,” said the live-in-nurse, “I’ll call her, jus give me, her phone number.”
So, after he looked up Rosa lee’s mom’s phone number, the live-in-nurse called Rosa lee’s mom, and said to her in an anxious voice, “Have an emergency here on my hands; Rosa lee’s water has broken, and water is all over her bed. She’s been having contractions now down to every three minutes. Please come over right away.”
“Okay, Bob, I’ll bring my OR bag. I’ll be right there within a few minutes. And, I’ll, also, be sure to bring the right anesthesia with me too. Rosa lee wants an epidural, is that right? Okay, I’ll bring all the supplies; I need to deliver her baby at home. See you, soon.”
Rosa lee’s mom’s over at the real estate office, however she’s going to have someone, fills in for her. So on the way to the mansion, she stopped at the ranch house to pick up her OR bag. Then, she headed towards the mansion, breaking the speed limit all the way there. However she’s lucky, that no cop car stopped her on the way because she has a handicap sign in her car window. Also, she has a sign in the back window that she used whenever she has to be on the way over to a house when a woman can’t make it to a hospital when she’s in labor to deliver her baby in time.
So Bob and the live-in-nurse where there in no time at all. And as soon as Bob and the live-in-nurse walked into Rosa lee’s bedroom, since, Rosa lee, still, were on the floor, with Bob and the live-in-nurse’s help, they helped her back up onto the bed. And her contractions were getting closer together, so, since, Rosa lee and Bob haven’t gotten the chance to go to Lamaze classes, he did his best to follow his instinct in helping her get through her labor. And the live—in-nurse gave her, some good advice, and tried to cue her in on how she should keep up her deep breathing, and it’s helping her in a way.
As Rosa lee’s mom arrived over at the mansion, she called the butler on her cell phone. Since, he recognized her voice, and knew she’s there for an emergency; he let her in with no questions asked.
“Hello, sir, this is Rosa lee’s mom, I’m, here over at the mansion to help out Rosa lee; he baby is about to be born and I have my OR bag with me, since, before I got into real estate, I used to be an OR nurse. However in real estate I can work along with my husband, and I’m making a lot more money, that way. So, please let me inside, I have to get over to Rosa lee’s bedroom to help her through her labor and delivery. The live-in-nurse called me over here being that Rosa lee can’t make it to a hospital in time.”
“Okay, come in,” said one of the butlers, “The doors are open.”
As she entered through the front doors, the butler escorted her right to Rosa lee’s bedroom where she’s lying on the floor on a rug, still, cramped up in a fetal position. So Rosa lee’s mom has her OR bag in her right hand as she entered the guest bedroom. As she did, Rosa lee started to scream, so Rosa lee’s mom, quickly, gave her, an epidural to numb her, however she can stay during the delivery of her baby.
Bob’s and Rosa lee’s moms are at her side, trying to do all them to help calm her down somewhat as she’s very excited. Also, she’s keyed up inside from all the pain, the contractions are causing.
Bob and the live-in-nurse were at Rosa lee’s side, and her mom was getting the supplies out of her OR bag which she needed for Rosa lee, and shaved her and draped a blue cloth over Rosa lee as it was jus about time for her to deliver her baby. And once, Rosa lee’s mom had all of her supplies, laid out around her and on the oak wood dresser, it’s about time to deliver her baby. She’s been going through a long labor, however her mom, somehow, has been able to sense, that the baby should be about ready to come out into its new world.
So, Bob did his best in cuing her, and said to her, “My dear Wild Irish Rose…keep up that deep breathing. Come on…you can do it…although; we never…had the chance…to take that Lamaze class. Don’t worry…about anything now. I watched…a video at the library…about Lamaze. So I have…learned the actual technique. So I know…how to work…along with you. Breathe in, deeply…then, blow it out…Like this…listen to me, carefully. There, now…you’re doing it. Keep it up…my dear Wild Irish Rose.”
She shouted out to him, “It’s getting hard for me. ---Can’t take the pain anymore. ---Seems like it’s trying to overcome my body.”
“The trick is…to push out your breath…really hard. Blow it out…like if you’re…blowing out…a bunch of candles. The epidural is going…to take effect soon. But you’ll…be awake. So, that you can…experience your first baby…being born.”
She, really, isn’t herself at all. She’s getting carried away, and losing control, even though, she’s trying very hard to work on her breathing.
She’s yelling at him as if he stabbed her in the back, being her never has had a baby before in her life.
“Bob, leave me alone---what are you doing to me? Come on, why are, you, still, holding onto my hand. ---Come on, let go of me.”---
Then, as he and the live-in-nurse grabbed onto her arms, each taking one arm, she shouted even louder, “Hey, Bob, I said for you---to leave me alone.”---
As he drew back his hand, his anger was about to take over, however he’s able to control it as the live-in-nurse grabbed both of her arms. So, Rosa lee’s screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him, every name in the book.
But while struggling to control his anger as he’s furious with her, now, he said to her, “Come on, my dear…am jus trying…to help you out. ---If you don’t…want me to…hold onto your hand or arm…won’t do it…any longer…that’s all.---Boy, you sure are…a acting like a different person.---Didn’t know…that a woman could…be so ornery during labor.---Jus am glad…that you aren’t…like this all the time.---Sure would…drive me crazy…if you were.”---
He jus couldn’t take her screaming, any longer. So, he left the room until Rosa lee’s mom or the live-in-nurse let him, know when the baby’s born.
Then, the live-in-nurse and Rosa lee’s mom each stood near Rosa lee. Rosa lee’s mom kept a hold on her left arm while the live-in-nurse kept a good holds on her other arm.
“Hello. This is the live-in-nurse, we need a maid in here, right away; Rosa lee’s getting carried away, and I can’t give her, a tranquilizer be cause Bob and I can’t let go of her at this time. So, please get any one of the maids into her bedroom, immediately, she has had an epidural, however she can’t be given any more anesthesia, so, as soon as a maid comes in here, I’ll tell her what to do.”
“Okay, I’ve jus called a maid, she’ll be right in, and she, also, is bringing a wet washcloth with her to help cool Rosa lee down. The maid will be right there.”
So, the maid jus got there in time as the baby’s ready to come out; and, immediately, she placed the washcloth on Rosa lee’s face.
Then, she asked the live-in-nurse in an anxious way, “Okay, nurse, what was it, you wanted me to do; the butler jus told me, that Rosa lee was getting out of hand.”
“I hate to do this to her, but grab that strap out of my bag,” replied Rosa lee’s mom, almost, screaming out in anger, and her voice is sounding so smooth towards her daughter, “She has been screaming bloody murder, especially, at Bob, and he couldn’t take it, so, he had to leave the room before he started shouting at Rosa lee, himself.”
So, a butler came racing inside the bedroom, and he took some straps which he has with him, and with a maid’s help, although, she hated to do this to Rosa lee. The two of them placed the straps around her, and tied her down to the bed, securely, so she couldn’t jump off or even fall off the bed.
Then, Rosa lee let out a louder scream which sounded like a car, screeching; however the epidural should be taking effect on her.
Before the butler left the bedroom, the live-in-nurse pleaded with him to stay, jus in case, he’s needed again for any reason. So, she said to him, “She can’t be given any more anesthesias for her pain unless you stay nearby the bed.”
“Okay,” he said, “What, exactly, do you want me to do?”
“Stand at Rosa lee’s side where her mom is. As soon as her mom lets go of her arm, grab onto it.”
So, the butler and live-in-nurse held onto Rosa lee while Rosa lee’s mom got out the supplies, she needed. And then, the butler and live-in-nurse were given an order by Rosa lee’s mom.
“Okay, sir, you and the live-in-nurse keep a good hold on Rosa lee, and sit her up somewhat.”
As they did, Rosa lee let out a curdling scream as her mom gave her, some more anesthesias through her back while she took a very deep breath.
Then, suddenly, she calmed down, but the butler and live-in-nurse, still, kept a good hold on her arms for a couple of minutes, then, they released her arms, and she’s settled down now. At least, they hope, she is.
Rosa lee’s mom was ready to deliver the baby, so the maid took hold of Rosa lee’s arm as Rosa lee’s mom let go, and her daughter, almost, crawled out from underneath the straps.
Then, Rosa lee’s mom said to her, “Come on, Rosa lee, keep taking even deeper breaths, and blow out, and push giving it all you’ve got. The baby’s ready to come out. Pretend that you’re about to push someone down. But gather all that strength; you have left in you to push the baby out.”
So, she pushed really hard, using every ounce of energy, she has. She’s able to imagine, pushing someone out of her way. The baby’s started to come out; soon, she heard some husky crying. So she jus happened to try to look down at her bed right in front of her. The baby boy’s crying like it really wanted to be out in a world which is very new to him, compared to having lived inside Rosa lee’s womb for seven months.
So, easily, her mom pulled the baby out the rest of the way. And once, the baby’s, fully, out, Rosa lee’s mom has the butler put plastic gloves on. Then, she has him, grab a bucket nearby, and then, he walked back over to the bed again. The baby’s, still, crying, and Rosa lee has a happy look on her face, accompanied by many tears enough to fill a bucket.
Then, Rosa lee’s mom, with plastic gloves on, clipped off the umbilical cord, and then, placed the baby in a plastic blanket. Then, she carried the baby over to a sink over to the nearest bathroom jus down the hall. As she arrived at the bathroom, she sponged the baby down with some very fragrant baby wash, then, she dried the baby off well with a baby towel.
In the meantime, the butler disposed of the rest of the umbilical cord along with the liquids from Rosa lee’s womb into a white plastic bucket. Then, he left the bedroom, and carried it all over to the kitchen. Once there, all the stuff from the baby is disposed in a special place in a big plastic orange bucket which is for disposing of toxic wastes.
Once, he dumped it all into that special container, the butler carried it all out the front doors of the mansion, jus as another butler opened up the doors for him. Once outside, the butler emptied it all into a garbage dumpster. Then, the butler reentered the mansion through the front entrance, and walked into the kitchen, and placed the orange container where he found it after he washed it out with bleach.
In the meantime, the live-in-nurse was wiping off Rosa lee’s forehead, and then, she gave her, a sponge bath from an extra bucket which she put some warm water inside along with some baby wash.
“Hey, Bob, this is the live-in-nurse, guess what? Rosa lee has jus delivered a four pound baby, and I’m sure, she wants you to see the baby too. Her mom will be right back with the baby; she went over to a bathroom and gave the newborn, its first bath.”
So, Bob is inside his master bedroom, doing some homework, however as soon as the live-in-nurse told him, the good news, he, literally, ran over to Rosa lee’s bedroom after throwing his books on the desk inside his room upon being overly excited about the new baby.
Jus after he arrived in Rosa lee’s bedroom, she’s sitting up in her bed with tears of happiness in her eyes. Rosa lee’s mom wrapped the baby in a little blue blanket and the baby looked so beautiful to him and Rosa lee. Rosa lee’s holding the baby in her arms, feeling much motherly love inside her for her new baby.
He said to her in a happy voice, “Boy, my dear Wild Irish Rose…can’t believe…you’re crying over the baby. Must be happy…to have a little one…of which to take care. Love that baby…with all my heart…and soul.”
So Bob grabbed a hold of the baby, and right away, came up with a name for the baby, “My dear Wild Irish Rose…that baby, Reginald Robert…is so pretty…that I can’t…resist holding him. And the baby looks…jus like me. So, I know…that I’m its real father,” as he stared into the mirror at the baby, and then, back at himself. The baby felt so delicate in his arms that he acted as if it’s going to float away if he didn’t hold onto the baby with a firm grip.
So, then, he gave the baby back to Rosa lee’s mother, who’s feeling so happy for Rosa lee and Bob, that her eyes seemed to glisten, And then, Rosa lee’s mom left her daughter’s bedroom as she’s starting to drift off into a dream land being it had been a tough labor for Rosa lee.
That’s, although, it didn’t take long at all to deliver the baby; now, she could get some much needed rest. And while she’s resting, the live-in-nurse checked her out which didn’t wake her up being she’s so tired from having her baby. So the live-in-nurse jus sat at her side for a couple of hours.
After the fifteen minutes went by, all who, originally, were inside the court for Sonny’s trial, reentered and sat down in their seats and were waiting for the jury to present the judge with the final decision. So, then, someone walked up to the judge and gave him, the jury’s decision that was listed on the papers which the person handed the judge at this time.
So the judge jus told everyone in a formal voice, “Okay, now, it’s time for the final decision from this envelope which I’m opening up, and jus have been handed from a member of the jury. In fact, the plaintiff has been charged for lying in court, on top of being charged guilty for attempted murder, numerous kidnapping charges. So Sonny ends up with a life sentence, and no hard labor if handled properly, can bring hi out of this one. Now, everyone may leave except for the plaintiff.”
PROLOGUE:
Bob thought, “You know, my dear, I’m strong-willed. No longer, do I have to fight to keep you. We both are aware of all this affection, we have between us. We have been having this for some time. Am going to continue to stay at your side. Will; keep giving you, all my support. Whatever it takes to get you back to your old self again. So, we, always, will be together.”
She thought, “We have been getting closer, every passing day and night. We have full trust in each other. Because of your support, my life, greatly, has improved. Am going to keep leaning on you, so our affection for each other will keep growing until it has reached its peak.”
Being Rosa lee has been getting sick, every morning, but doesn’t feel like she’s pregnant yet.
Bob’s going to stay at her side, and keep offering her, his comfort, and because both of them are having feelings of deep warmth for each other.
He said to her, one day, because he’s curious about her, “Do you think that Sonny ever tried to make love to you during your kidnappings?”
“No, certainly, not, if I ever was aware of it, I would have let you, know right away. Besides I care for you too much, Bob. In fact, that time, Sonny tried to pin me down in the school yard; he never had the chance to do anything to me.”
‘If I ever find out…that you’re pregnant…and the baby turns…out to be Sonny’s…he can’t have…custody of the baby anyways. Will, still, love…the baby...no matter if it…turns out to be his baby.”
In fact, Bob did, finally, remember making love to her, that one night, after she wasn’t in the mood for it. He had a memory of waking up during that night, and doing it with her in her sleep. But, for one thing, although, the two made love, occasionally, he doesn’t know if she remembered to take her birth control pills, every morning.
So he said to her while they were, still, at the school, and sitting in the cafeteria, eating lunch, “You know something…my darling, Wild Irish Rose…with you, having…been taking birth control pills…I think that I…made love to you…that one night…when you…weren’t in the mood for it. And I don’t…remember, you taking…your birth control pill…that night.”
Bob didn’t know if she really was having morning sickness. But he said to her, anyways, “If you ever…become pregnant, after you…have your baby…we should…get married, right away…so the baby has…a mother and father who…will make sure,…he or she is…take care, of properly. If you happen…to skip a month. Then, you should…see a doctor, right away…for regular monthly checkups…to make sure…that the baby is…doing alright.”
“Do you mind if I move into the mansion, so I get good care from the live-in-nurse?”
“I talked this…over with my parents, already. My parents have…agreed to allow you…to live at the mansion…whether you’re…pregnant or not. You don’t have…to tell me right now…if you want…to get married or not. But if…that queasy feeling…you are having…in the morning, persists. Then, you should…see a doctor…right away to find out…if you’re…going through a real pregnancy. If you are…then, we should consider…getting married right away. Then, the baby will…need to be in a family…right after it’s born…because it’ll need…a mother and father.”
“Do I get a guest bedroom, or can I move in with you in your bedroom?”
“Should move…in right away. My parents told me…that you can…have one of the guest bedrooms. You shouldn’t…move in with me…because they will…get the wrong idea. But, if you ever…have a baby…then, you can…move in with me. But don’t…worry about…being pregnant right now. Jus be sure…to see the dietician…my mom has…hired for you. And avoid street drugs…and other unnecessary drugs…along with alcohol. Will be best for you…to move into the mansion…jus in case…you ever…find out you’re pregnant. Because the live-in-nurse…will need to be sure…you get…the right care in that case.”
Bob took a day off from high school to help her, move into his parents’ mansion. So in his red car, he followed a moving van over to her parents’ house, on one sunny, but not hot day. As soon as the moving van arrived over at her parents’ house, he hopped out of his truck. Then, he led the moving guys into the house after she opened up the front door.
So the moving guys would know what stuff to move, Bob said to them, “Follow me into Rosa lee’s bedroom, first. And after all her furniture and computer has been moved out of her bedroom, be sure to take the brown corduroy lazy boy chair from the living room. Also there’s some clothes and stuff, already, packed on the front lawn. That stuff, I’ll pack into my truck.”
After all the stuff was moved into the van and Bob’s truck, Rosa lee hopped into his truck, and they followed the moving van over to the mansion.
On the way over to the mansion, she said to him, “Boy, this is wild. It feels good to move out of that ranch house. Won’t have my parents, running my life. And living at your parents’ mansion, will be different for me. Am four months along in my pregnancy? But it feels weird to me in gaining all this weight. Makes me, feel like a blimp. But will get used to feeling this way. Am, already, feeling like a mother, although, the baby’s not even born yet.”
He said to her, “Hope, you’re going…to enjoy your pregnancy, now. Know it must feel…awkward to be…gaining all that weight. But it’s necessary…to hold all that liquid…off of which…the baby is feeding. And before…you know it…you’ll be able…to feel the baby…kicking inside you. That’s going to…be another weird feeling to you. That’s, partly, because…you’ve never…been pregnant…before in your life.”
They all arrived over at the mansion about fifteen minutes later. Once, all of the moving guys are out of the van, they started to bring in all of her furniture, first, which the moving guys moved into the basement area.
One day, when Bob got ready to go to the high school along with Rosa lee, she’s seven months along in her pregnancy. She’s shocked to get out of bed, and could feel, that her bed is soaked. Not knowing what to do; she called a maid over to her bedroom right away with the live-in-nurse. She knew her water’s broken. It’s very obvious to her.
The live-in-nurse said to Rosa lee, “Jus sit tight, and lie down, and don’t do any pushing. Will be right there. I’ll also send a maid to your room to take care of your bedding,” replied the live-in-nurse in an anxious tone of voice.
So in no time at all, both a maid along with the live-in-nurse where there in Rosa lee’s bedroom. While the maid attended to her bad, the live-in-nurse is surprised to see Rosa lee, cramped up on the floor, and in tears, and that she’s going into labor, only being seven months along in her pregnancy being she isn’t due for another two months.
So while the live-in-nurse is doing hr best to try to calm her down, she called Bob over her cell phone, and said to him, “Hello, Bob, this is the live-in-nurse. Am in Rosa lee’s bedroom right now, and she jus woke up, and her water has broken. There’s a mess on her bed, and the maid is here, trying to change the bed, and dry off her bed with the fan in the bedroom.”
Luckily, he’s in his master bedroom, so with a puzzled voice, he said to the live-in-nurse, “Hello, yes…is something, the matter? Am surprised…that you’re making…a call to me at…this time of morning. Is Rosa lee…alright, miss?”
“There’s nothing seriously wrong with her. It’s jus that she’s about ready to eat her breakfast. And she jus happened to notice that her bed is soaking wet. Apparently, she has broken her water bag, and she’s started to have contractions which are five minutes apart.”
Bob has a wide look on his face as he’s so surprised, and kind of shocked about Rosa lee, so he replied, “Don’t know…how I’m going to…get her there to the hospital. In time before she…has her baby. Please do all…you can because…You know…what to do in this case. The hospital’s too…far away for the butler…or anyone for that matter.”
“What do you suggest I, do for her? I’m not a regular obstetrics nurse. Never have delivered babies before at home. How about calling your girlfriend’s mother? She used to work in obstetrics?”
“Okay, I’ll call her right away. In the meantime, please do all you can to keep her, calmed down if you can? Don’t let her, get carried away, and push out the baby before it’s ready to be born.”
“While I’m waiting for her mother, I’ll try to get Rosa lee to eat her breakfast. Please place the portable tray in front of her. She must eat, she’ll need all the energy, she can get to deliver her baby.”
“Okay, Bob, however go ahead, and tell her mom, that we need her over here on the double.”
“Better yet,” said the live-in-nurse, “I’ll call her, jus give me, her phone number.”
So, after he looked up Rosa lee’s mom’s phone number, the live-in-nurse called Rosa lee’s mom, and said to her in an anxious voice, “Have an emergency here on my hands; Rosa lee’s water has broken, and water is all over her bed. She’s been having contractions now down to every three minutes. Please come over right away.”
“Okay, Bob, I’ll bring my OR bag. I’ll be right there within a few minutes. And, I’ll, also, be sure to bring the right anesthesia with me too. Rosa lee wants an epidural, is that right? Okay, I’ll bring all the supplies; I need to deliver her baby at home. See you, soon.”
Rosa lee’s mom’s over at the real estate office, however she’s going to have someone, fills in for her. So on the way to the mansion, she stopped at the ranch house to pick up her OR bag. Then, she headed towards the mansion, breaking the speed limit all the way there. However she’s lucky, that no cop car stopped her on the way because she has a handicap sign in her car window. Also, she has a sign in the back window that she used whenever she has to be on the way over to a house when a woman can’t make it to a hospital when she’s in labor to deliver her baby in time.
So Bob and the live-in-nurse where there in no time at all. And as soon as Bob and the live-in-nurse walked into Rosa lee’s bedroom, since, Rosa lee, still, were on the floor, with Bob and the live-in-nurse’s help, they helped her back up onto the bed. And her contractions were getting closer together, so, since, Rosa lee and Bob haven’t gotten the chance to go to Lamaze classes, he did his best to follow his instinct in helping her get through her labor. And the live—in-nurse gave her, some good advice, and tried to cue her in on how she should keep up her deep breathing, and it’s helping her in a way.
As Rosa lee’s mom arrived over at the mansion, she called the butler on her cell phone. Since, he recognized her voice, and knew she’s there for an emergency; he let her in with no questions asked.
“Hello, sir, this is Rosa lee’s mom, I’m, here over at the mansion to help out Rosa lee; he baby is about to be born and I have my OR bag with me, since, before I got into real estate, I used to be an OR nurse. However in real estate I can work along with my husband, and I’m making a lot more money, that way. So, please let me inside, I have to get over to Rosa lee’s bedroom to help her through her labor and delivery. The live-in-nurse called me over here being that Rosa lee can’t make it to a hospital in time.”
“Okay, come in,” said one of the butlers, “The doors are open.”
As she entered through the front doors, the butler escorted her right to Rosa lee’s bedroom where she’s lying on the floor on a rug, still, cramped up in a fetal position. So Rosa lee’s mom has her OR bag in her right hand as she entered the guest bedroom. As she did, Rosa lee started to scream, so Rosa lee’s mom, quickly, gave her, an epidural to numb her, however she can stay during the delivery of her baby.
Bob’s and Rosa lee’s moms are at her side, trying to do all them to help calm her down somewhat as she’s very excited. Also, she’s keyed up inside from all the pain, the contractions are causing.
Bob and the live-in-nurse were at Rosa lee’s side, and her mom was getting the supplies out of her OR bag which she needed for Rosa lee, and shaved her and draped a blue cloth over Rosa lee as it was jus about time for her to deliver her baby. And once, Rosa lee’s mom had all of her supplies, laid out around her and on the oak wood dresser, it’s about time to deliver her baby. She’s been going through a long labor, however her mom, somehow, has been able to sense, that the baby should be about ready to come out into its new world.
So, Bob did his best in cuing her, and said to her, “My dear Wild Irish Rose…keep up that deep breathing. Come on…you can do it…although; we never…had the chance…to take that Lamaze class. Don’t worry…about anything now. I watched…a video at the library…about Lamaze. So I have…learned the actual technique. So I know…how to work…along with you. Breathe in, deeply…then, blow it out…Like this…listen to me, carefully. There, now…you’re doing it. Keep it up…my dear Wild Irish Rose.”
She shouted out to him, “It’s getting hard for me. ---Can’t take the pain anymore. ---Seems like it’s trying to overcome my body.”
“The trick is…to push out your breath…really hard. Blow it out…like if you’re…blowing out…a bunch of candles. The epidural is going…to take effect soon. But you’ll…be awake. So, that you can…experience your first baby…being born.”
She, really, isn’t herself at all. She’s getting carried away, and losing control, even though, she’s trying very hard to work on her breathing.
She’s yelling at him as if he stabbed her in the back, being her never has had a baby before in her life.
“Bob, leave me alone---what are you doing to me? Come on, why are, you, still, holding onto my hand. ---Come on, let go of me.”---
Then, as he and the live-in-nurse grabbed onto her arms, each taking one arm, she shouted even louder, “Hey, Bob, I said for you---to leave me alone.”---
As he drew back his hand, his anger was about to take over, however he’s able to control it as the live-in-nurse grabbed both of her arms. So, Rosa lee’s screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him, every name in the book.
But while struggling to control his anger as he’s furious with her, now, he said to her, “Come on, my dear…am jus trying…to help you out. ---If you don’t…want me to…hold onto your hand or arm…won’t do it…any longer…that’s all.---Boy, you sure are…a acting like a different person.---Didn’t know…that a woman could…be so ornery during labor.---Jus am glad…that you aren’t…like this all the time.---Sure would…drive me crazy…if you were.”---
He jus couldn’t take her screaming, any longer. So, he left the room until Rosa lee’s mom or the live-in-nurse let him, know when the baby’s born.
Then, the live-in-nurse and Rosa lee’s mom each stood near Rosa lee. Rosa lee’s mom kept a hold on her left arm while the live-in-nurse kept a good holds on her other arm.
“Hello. This is the live-in-nurse, we need a maid in here, right away; Rosa lee’s getting carried away, and I can’t give her, a tranquilizer be cause Bob and I can’t let go of her at this time. So, please get any one of the maids into her bedroom, immediately, she has had an epidural, however she can’t be given any more anesthesia, so, as soon as a maid comes in here, I’ll tell her what to do.”
“Okay, I’ve jus called a maid, she’ll be right in, and she, also, is bringing a wet washcloth with her to help cool Rosa lee down. The maid will be right there.”
So, the maid jus got there in time as the baby’s ready to come out; and, immediately, she placed the washcloth on Rosa lee’s face.
Then, she asked the live-in-nurse in an anxious way, “Okay, nurse, what was it, you wanted me to do; the butler jus told me, that Rosa lee was getting out of hand.”
“I hate to do this to her, but grab that strap out of my bag,” replied Rosa lee’s mom, almost, screaming out in anger, and her voice is sounding so smooth towards her daughter, “She has been screaming bloody murder, especially, at Bob, and he couldn’t take it, so, he had to leave the room before he started shouting at Rosa lee, himself.”
So, a butler came racing inside the bedroom, and he took some straps which he has with him, and with a maid’s help, although, she hated to do this to Rosa lee. The two of them placed the straps around her, and tied her down to the bed, securely, so she couldn’t jump off or even fall off the bed.
Then, Rosa lee let out a louder scream which sounded like a car, screeching; however the epidural should be taking effect on her.
Before the butler left the bedroom, the live-in-nurse pleaded with him to stay, jus in case, he’s needed again for any reason. So, she said to him, “She can’t be given any more anesthesias for her pain unless you stay nearby the bed.”
“Okay,” he said, “What, exactly, do you want me to do?”
“Stand at Rosa lee’s side where her mom is. As soon as her mom lets go of her arm, grab onto it.”
So, the butler and live-in-nurse held onto Rosa lee while Rosa lee’s mom got out the supplies, she needed. And then, the butler and live-in-nurse were given an order by Rosa lee’s mom.
“Okay, sir, you and the live-in-nurse keep a good hold on Rosa lee, and sit her up somewhat.”
As they did, Rosa lee let out a curdling scream as her mom gave her, some more anesthesias through her back while she took a very deep breath.
Then, suddenly, she calmed down, but the butler and live-in-nurse, still, kept a good hold on her arms for a couple of minutes, then, they released her arms, and she’s settled down now. At least, they hope, she is.
Rosa lee’s mom was ready to deliver the baby, so the maid took hold of Rosa lee’s arm as Rosa lee’s mom let go, and her daughter, almost, crawled out from underneath the straps.
Then, Rosa lee’s mom said to her, “Come on, Rosa lee, keep taking even deeper breaths, and blow out, and push giving it all you’ve got. The baby’s ready to come out. Pretend that you’re about to push someone down. But gather all that strength; you have left in you to push the baby out.”
So, she pushed really hard, using every ounce of energy, she has. She’s able to imagine, pushing someone out of her way. The baby’s started to come out; soon, she heard some husky crying. So she jus happened to try to look down at her bed right in front of her. The baby boy’s crying like it really wanted to be out in a world which is very new to him, compared to having lived inside Rosa lee’s womb for seven months.
So, easily, her mom pulled the baby out the rest of the way. And once, the baby’s, fully, out, Rosa lee’s mom has the butler put plastic gloves on. Then, she has him, grab a bucket nearby, and then, he walked back over to the bed again. The baby’s, still, crying, and Rosa lee has a happy look on her face, accompanied by many tears enough to fill a bucket.
Then, Rosa lee’s mom, with plastic gloves on, clipped off the umbilical cord, and then, placed the baby in a plastic blanket. Then, she carried the baby over to a sink over to the nearest bathroom jus down the hall. As she arrived at the bathroom, she sponged the baby down with some very fragrant baby wash, then, she dried the baby off well with a baby towel.
In the meantime, the butler disposed of the rest of the umbilical cord along with the liquids from Rosa lee’s womb into a white plastic bucket. Then, he left the bedroom, and carried it all over to the kitchen. Once there, all the stuff from the baby is disposed in a special place in a big plastic orange bucket which is for disposing of toxic wastes.
Once, he dumped it all into that special container, the butler carried it all out the front doors of the mansion, jus as another butler opened up the doors for him.

“Hey, Bob, this is the live-in-nurse, guess what? Rosa lee has jus delivered a four pound baby, and I’m sure, she wants you to see the baby too. Her mom will be right back with the baby; she went over to a bathroom and gave the newborn, its first bath.”
So, Bob is inside his master bedroom, doing some homework, however as soon as the live-in-nurse told him, the good news, he, literally, ran over to Rosa lee’s bedroom after throwing his books on the desk inside his room upon being overly excited about the new baby.
Jus after he arrived in Rosa lee’s bedroom, she’s sitting up in her bed with tears of happiness in her eyes.

The baby felt so delicate in his arms that he acted as if it’s going to float away if he didn’t hold onto the baby with a firm grip.
So, then, he gave the baby back to Rosa lee’s mother, who’s feeling so happy for Rosa lee and Bob, that her eyes seemed to glisten, And then, Rosa lee’s mom left her daughter’s bedroom as she’s starting to drift off into a dream land being it had been a tough labor for Rosa lee.
That’s, although, it didn’t take long at all to deliver the baby; now, she could get some much needed rest. And while she’s resting, the live-in-nurse checked her out which didn’t wake her up being she’s so tired from having her baby. So the live-in-nurse jus sat at her side for a couple of hours.

AFTER I LEFT MY FAMILY...FICTION-PROSE BY CHERYL V.
AFTER I LEFT MY FAMILY BY CHERYL V.
AFTER I LEFT MY FAMILY AND RANCH BEHIND TO PURSUE THE WILDERNESS, I HAD NO IDEA THAT I’D GET CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAIN ROBBERY. AND AFTERWARDS, END UP ON TERRITORY WITH WHICH I WASN’T FAMILIAR. THIS TRAIN ROBBERY LEFT ME WITH SOME MARKS WHICH I’M NOT PROUD OF ENDING UP WITH. THEN, RIGHT AFTER THAT TRAIN ROBBERY, THE NEXT MORNING, I ENDED UP GOING AFOOT ON SOME STRANGE TERRITORY. DURING ALL THAT TIME SPENT ALONE ON FOOT, I DIDN’T HAVE THE USE OF ANY COMPASS. SO, I HAD NO IDEA OF WHERE I HAD BEEN HEADING ALL THAT TIME WHILE HAVING SO SENSE OF TIME WHILE TRAVELING. THEN, IT HAPPENED, THAT I BUMPED INTO SOME KID WHICH I THOUGHT TO BELIEVE JUS AT THAT TENDER YOUNG AGE OF ONLY SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN. AND THIS KID TURNED OUT TO BE ONE RUGGED AND TOUGH ONE. AND HE WANTED TO BE OUT ON HIS OWN AND CLAIMED, HE WAS A BOUNTY HUNTER. WITH THIS KID, SUDDENLY, ENTERING INTO MY LIFE, I DIDN’T KNOW, THAT THIS SO-CALLED KID, TOOK OFF FROM HIS FAMILY AT ONE VERY YOUNG AGE. AND HE SEEMED TO BE SO SKILLED IN BOUNTY HUNTING. THAT I FIGURED THAT THIS KID SEEMED TO BE SO GOOD WITH GUNS. AT LEAST, THIS IS WHAT KIND OF FRONT, HE WAS PUTTING ON. SO THEN, BEING I HAD THIS RIFLE ON MY PERSON, I DECIDED, THEN, TO TEAM UP WITH THIS KID. AND THEN, I HAD THIS DESIRE TO WORK ALONG WITH HIM.

AND THIS ANGER, ALSO, MADE ME, WANT TO ALL OUT TO GO ON A HUNT, MYSELF, JUS SO THAT, HOPEFULLY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TRAVELING; IT WOULD TAKE TO ACCOMPLISH TO SATISFY MY ANGER. TO THEN, GO OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS. AND THEN, HOPE THAT WITH MUCH URGE TO WANT TO SEEK REVENGE AGAINST THOSE TWO MEN, WHO HAD KILLED MY FATHER. SO, WHEN I RAN INTO THIS SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD KID BEING THAT I THOUGHT, HE SEEMED SO GOOD WITH A GUN. THAT THE TWO OF US WOULD MAKE A GREAT TEAM. AND THAT WE COULD TRAVEL ALL OVER THE PLACE TOGETHER. AND THAT THIS YOUNG KID, ALWAYS, DRESSED LIKE A BOY. AND APPEARED TO, ALSO, BE SO TALL AND SKINNY AND SMALL BUILT. NOT UNTIL WE APPROACHED THIS ONE MOTEL, DID I FIND OUT, THAT EVEN SO THIS KID ACTED LIKE A BOY? THAT IN REALITY, WHEN SHE’S SLEEPING, HER SKIN APPEARED TO BE SO SMOOTH AND TENDER LIKE A GIRL. THAT ONE MORNING, AFTER I SPENT ALL NIGHT LONG BY A FIRE OUTSIDE. AND THEN, COULDN’T EVEN SLEEP ONE WINK, ALL NIGHT LONG JUS BECAUSE THIS KID LOOKED LIKE A GIRL WHEN SLEEPING. AND I COULDN’T GET MYSELF TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION OF HER, HAVING FAKED BEING A BOY, ALL THIS TIME; WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER IN TRAVELS. THAT MORNING, SHE, FINALLY, CONFESSED TO ME. THAT ALL THIS TIME, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER. THAT THIS KID HAS BEEN TRYING TO COVER UP THE FACT OF, REALLY, BEING A TOMBOY WHICH HE APPEARED TO BE HOWEVER IN REALITY, REALLY WAS A KID. AND THIS KID, ONLY, BOY’S CLOTHES, ONLY, BECAUSE SHE, ALWAYS, RODE A HORSE.
AFTER I LEFT MY FAMILY AND RANCH BEHIND TO PURSUE THE WILDERNESS, I HAD NO IDEA THAT I’D GET CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAIN ROBBERY. AND AFTERWARDS, END UP ON TERRITORY WITH WHICH I WASN’T FAMILIAR. THIS TRAIN ROBBERY LEFT ME WITH SOME MARKS WHICH I’M NOT PROUD OF ENDING UP WITH. THEN, RIGHT AFTER THAT TRAIN ROBBERY, THE NEXT MORNING, I ENDED UP GOING AFOOT ON SOME STRANGE TERRITORY. DURING ALL THAT TIME SPENT ALONE ON FOOT, I DIDN’T HAVE THE USE OF ANY COMPASS. SO, I HAD NO IDEA OF WHERE I HAD BEEN HEADING ALL THAT TIME WHILE HAVING SO SENSE OF TIME WHILE TRAVELING. THEN, IT HAPPENED, THAT I BUMPED INTO SOME KID WHICH I THOUGHT TO BELIEVE JUS AT THAT TENDER YOUNG AGE OF ONLY SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN. AND THIS KID TURNED OUT TO BE ONE RUGGED AND TOUGH ONE. AND HE WANTED TO BE OUT ON HIS OWN AND CLAIMED, HE WAS A BOUNTY HUNTER. WITH THIS KID, SUDDENLY, ENTERING INTO MY LIFE, I DIDN’T KNOW, THAT THIS SO-CALLED KID, TOOK OFF FROM HIS FAMILY AT ONE VERY YOUNG AGE. AND HE SEEMED TO BE SO SKILLED IN BOUNTY HUNTING. THAT I FIGURED THAT THIS KID SEEMED TO BE SO GOOD WITH GUNS. AT LEAST, THIS IS WHAT KIND OF FRONT, HE WAS PUTTING ON. SO THEN, BEING I HAD THIS RIFLE ON MY PERSON, I DECIDED, THEN, TO TEAM UP WITH THIS KID. AND THEN, I HAD THIS DESIRE TO WORK ALONG WITH HIM. FIGURED THAT HE’S INTERESTED IN HELPING ME OUT BECAUSE I’VE, SOMEHOW, GOT TO HUNT DOWN THE PERSONS, WHO HAD, ONCE, STAGED THIS MURDER HUNT ON MY FATHER? AND AT A YOUNG AGE, SOMETHING DROVE ME TO WANT FIND OUT, JUS WHO HAD KILLED MY FATHER. HE HAD BEEN KILLED BY THESE TWO GUYS, WHO, ORIGINALLY, WERE OUT TO PLAN THEIR SCHEME TO TAKE MY FATHER FROM ME WHEN I, AT LEAST, EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN. SO, THEN, THIS ANGER SURGED INSIDE ME, SO STRONGLY, THAT I GOT THIS SUDDEN URGE WHEN OLDER TO JUS WANT TO LEAVE MY FAMILY AND RANCH BEHIND JUS BECAUSE I, NO LONGER, FELT WANTED AMONGST THE FAMILY. AND THIS ANGER, ALSO, MADE ME, WANT TO ALL OUT TO GO ON A HUNT, MYSELF, JUS SO THAT, HOPEFULLY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TRAVELING; IT WOULD TAKE TO ACCOMPLISH TO SATISFY MY ANGER. TO THEN, GO OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS. AND THEN, HOPE THAT WITH MUCH URGE TO WANT TO SEEK REVENGE AGAINST THOSE TWO MEN, WHO HAD KILLED MY FATHER. SO, WHEN I RAN INTO THIS SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD KID BEING THAT I THOUGHT, HE SEEMED SO GOOD WITH A GUN. THAT THE TWO OF US WOULD MAKE A GREAT TEAM. AND THAT WE COULD TRAVEL ALL OVER THE PLACE TOGETHER. AND THAT THIS YOUNG KID, ALWAYS, DRESSED LIKE A BOY. AND APPEARED TO, ALSO, BE SO TALL AND SKINNY AND SMALL BUILT. NOT UNTIL WE APPROACHED THIS ONE MOTEL, DID I FIND OUT, THAT EVEN SO THIS KID ACTED LIKE A BOY? THAT IN REALITY, WHEN SHE’S SLEEPING, HER SKIN APPEARED TO BE SO SMOOTH AND TENDER LIKE A GIRL.
