Tombstone.
This morning I walked into town and saw two natives talking with Miss Paisley and Sabi. I saw Sabi hiding behind the counter and asked her if these Natives were okay, since Ma told me to be careful around them. I saw Corgan, the mean man, standing in the street, and pulled Sabi into the dining room.
“He almost got me Nat!” Sabi exclaimed.
“You’re okay Sabi.”
“He tried ta get Aunt Aly ta shoot me!”
“Let’s see if there’s any food,” I sighed and poked around the kitchen. I found some cookies and brought them out to Sabi. Suddenly Miss Paisley shouted for Miss Aly and I blinked seeing the man coming towards us.
“WILL SOMEONE SHUT THAT KID UP!?” Miss Rikki shouted then as Mr. Corgan almost fell over me.
“You! Girl! You will NOT run away!” he called to me as the adults called for us to run. The man called for us to stay but we ran more, stumbling out of the door.
“Some kind of father you are!” Miss Paisley shouted out to Corgan.
“Kids should be seen and not heard,” Rikki muttered.
“Rikki, you try being silent when a man is trying to take you,” Miss Paisley told her.
“Man tries to take me, I shoot him,” Rikki growled.
I saw Mr. Corgan come back and ran off to my favorite hiding place in the library, not wanting to be around the hotel while he was there.
