Chapter 15

Next day everybody was getting up and getting ready to go to work. Red Cloud does not have a job but Walker pays him to take care of the ranch, while they are gone. So, they all loaded up in the truck and headed to work. As they arrived Tyron was waiting for Jesse.

"Hey Tyron, been waiting long?' asked Walker.

"No, just hanging out having coffee, I can't wait to see what this kid can do," smiled Tyron.

"Alright let's get a case going," said Walker.

"Alright let's go," said Tyron.

They gave Jesse a gun and he made sure it was on safety and put it in his holster and they gave him a badge, it was cool looking, it was kind of like the ones they had out in the John Wayne movies as sheriff deputy's. So, they got a case from the other day.

"We got a call from this kid's mother, she says that he might be involved in a robbery that happened two days ago, we caught the other guys, but we can't seem to catch or find this kid. He lives here with his adopted parents, I believe he is around seventeen years of age or nineteen years of age. This is the picture she gave us," said Tryon hanging it on the white board.

Jesse was staring it for a while.

"You say you can't find him?" asked Jesse.

"That's right, he's been missing for a while now," said Tyron.

"He's a native, isn't he?" asked Jesse.

"Yes, yes, he is," said Tyron.

"Well it takes a native to find a native," said Jesse.

"That's right, Tyron, remember that white little boy that got lost in the forest, and nobody could ever find him, well Red Cloud my uncle did a healing ceremony for me, I went in his sweat loaded and had a vision of the kid, and then an eagle came soaring in and showed me where he was in my vision," said Walker.

"Oh yeah, I remember that, after your vision quest was over, we all followed you into the woods and you actually found the kid, by following an eagle" said Tyron.

"That's right," said Walker.

"So, do you think we can find this kid and bring him in?" asked Tyron.

"Yes, we will all work as a team," said Walker.

"Great, let's do this," said Tyron giving everyone a picture of the kid to pass around and ask the people if they have seen him.

So, they started around where these kids usually hang out. They parked the cars in a parking lot and started looking on foot, they each went in different directions. Jesse stopped and started looking around, then for some reason he stared at a convenient store, then started to walk over towards it. When he walked inside he started to look and pretend to shop as he did this he glanced for a moment and saw the kid. Jesse slowly walked to the chip isle and started looking at the chips, the kid new Jesse was a ranger, but the kid figure he was just there looking for a bag of chips and then he'll leave.

"So what chips are good here, I'm new town and quite not familiar with the customs here?" asked Jesse.

"Where's Jesse, last I've seen him went into that convenient store," said a deputy.

"Let's go maybe he found the kid," said Walker.

So, they all slowly walked over towards the store, the kid did not see them coming, his back was facing the window while Jesse was talking to him.

"Your ranger, a rookie," said the kid.

"Yeah, just started working, so what about you," said Jesse.

"Oh, same I guess, trying to make money, um here, these bags of chips are good, I like them, "said the kid handing Jesse a bag of chips.

While Jesse was still talking to him Walker and Tryon slowly moved in, Walker walked up to the kid and grabbed his arms from behind and handcuffed him.

"What are you doing, let me go," said the kid in anger.

"I'm sorry, were going to have to take you down town, and we'll call your mother, she's worried about you," said Walker.

So, they put him in the police car and drove to the station. As they arrived, he was putting up a fight, giving the police officers had a hard time getting him out of the car, they had to force him out. He was still fighting them, and finally Jesse pulled his tazze gun on him and hit him in the stomach and he went down. Then they picked him up and led him inside the building. Still handcuffed and sat him in the chair, to book him in in jail for a week.

"Now were going to put the orange suite on and pick up trash for a week," said Tyron.

"Then I'll be out?" asked the kid.

"We'll see, but I don't want to see you in here again, you understand me," said Tyron.

"Yes sir, "said the kid.

"Alright, now officer take him to the back and lock him up," said Tyron.

"Yes sir, come on kiddo, let's go," said the officer.

So, the officer took the kid to the back and locked him up.

"You did awesome Jesse, I was surprised," smiled Tyron.

"Thank you," said Jesse.

"You did great Jesse, I'm proud of you," smiled Walker.

"Thank you," smiled Jesse.

"Now we must do paperwork now," said Tyron.

"Okay, I heard it's not fun, and it's a lot I heard about it, when I was in school," said Jesse.

"Yeah, it is a lot, and it's not fun, but it must be done, so let's get started, so this will be your desk here, and I'll show how to do the paper work stuff," said Tryon.

"Okay, cool, my very own desk," smiled Jesse.

So, Tyron was showing Jesse the paper work, what to do and how to fill it out. Then it was 5:30pm. Walker and Alex came walking up.

"Jesse, Walker told me what happened, I'm so proud of you, and this must be your work station now," smiled Alex.

"Yeah, I get my own desk," said Jesse.

"That's great," said Alex.

"Well you ready to go home," said Walker.

"But I've only finished 6 paper work," said Jesse.

"That's okay sonny, nobody ever really finishes paper work, they usually come in tomorrow any way to finish," said Tyron.

"Oh, well I guess I am ready to go home then," said Jesse.

"Alright, and I'll cook us something to eat, and tomorrow we will celebrate," said Alex.

"What's to celebrate?" asked Jesse.

"You, silly, and we'll invite all your friends as well," said Alex.

"Really," smiled Jesse.

"Yeah, I'll call them tonight and tell them what we are doing," said Alex.

"Okay," said Jesse.

So, they got into Walker's pickup and drove home, as they arrived Red Cloud was sitting on the couch reading a book.

"Hey uncle how was things here," asked Walker?

"Everything is fine, I think we will have a new member, one of our cow's is going to have a calf, she attends to stay alone, out under the tree," said Red Cloud.

"Oh, how sweet, I love baby calf's there so cute," said Alex.

"Yeah, well we will have to keep an eye on her then," said Walker.

"I'll get supper ready," said Alex.

So, Walker and Jesse went to their rooms to change their clothes for supper. They came back down and turned the television on and started to watch a football game with Red Cloud.

"Supper is ready," said Alex.

"Smells good, were coming," said Walker.

So, they headed towards the kitchen and sat down at the table. They didn't talk about work stuff they left it there. So, they started talking about other stuff and ideas. When they were finished they started to clean up and getting ready to go to bed. Then the phone rang.

"Hello, this is Walker."

"Hey, it's Tyron, just let you know, I'm giving Jesse a day off, so he can rest up for the next day," said Tyron.

"Well that's nice of you," said Walker.

"Well, you know, tomorrow is Saturday," said Tyron.

"Yes, I know tomorrow is Saturday, what's going on?" said Walker.

"Well, Red Cloud called me while you guys were living, and he said he needs Saturday's off, because he is a hand drum singer for the pow wows and other gatherings they do on the reservation, and I understand that, tradition," said Tyron.

"Oh, he did, did he," said Walker.

"Yeah, you know how them traditional Natives are about their young," laughed Tyron.

"Boy do I know, I have one living at home," laughed Walker.

"Well I'll let you go so you can rest," said Tyron.

"Thanks' Tyron for calling," said Walker.

"Your welcome," said Tyron.

"Bye."

"Bye." Said Tyron.

"Who was that Walker?" asked Jesse.

"It was Tyron, he was calling you to tell you that you have Saturday off," said Walker.

"Really, I do, that was nice of him, I thought I was going to miss practice," said Jesse.

"Yeah, my uncle made a call to Tryon, so I'm thinking from now on you will have Saturday's off," said Walker.

"Cool, thank you Tyron," smiled Jesse.

"Alright, let's go and go to bed, "said Walker.
