The Lakota Nation part2 Reservation Ch.3

The next day Jimmy came over and knocked on the door.

"Ah Jimmy, I was just going over to your house to ask if White Hawk was there?" asked Running Water.

"No he's not, he's not here?" asked Jimmy.

"No he's not," said Running Water.

"That's strange, I watched him go home," said Jimmy.

"Help us find him Jimmy?" asked Running Water.

“I will, let's go," said Jimmy.

"Come on boys," shouted Running Water.

So they went out to look for White Hawk. As the men were keeping White Hawk, they tied him up. As they were talking White Hawk was getting himself loose from the ropes, he jumped up and ran out of the building.

"Hey get him, keep him from getting to far," yelled the man.

So his men ran after White Hawk down the street, as White Hawk was running, Running Water, Jimmy and White Hawks brothers were all looking for him. Nuka was looking out the car window and he spotted White Hawk running.

"DAD, DAD, its White Hawk honk your horn," shouted Nuka.
Running Water quickly honked his horn and shouted,

"Son, get in, quick," shouted Running Water.

So White Hawk ran out into the street and jumped in the car. They drove away real fast, and went home.

"Do you think they followed us?" asked Nuka concerned.

"I don't know, maybe," said White Hawk.

"I don't think so, we drove to fast for them to come around the corner," said Spotted Eagle.

"Are you alright?" asked Jimmy.

"Yes I am fine, I got out before they could really do damage," said White Hawk.

"Come, let's eat now, I will fix something to eat, Jimmy would you like to join us?" asked Running Water.

"Yes I would like that very much," said Jimmy with a smile on his face.
​
So Running Water fixed them supper and they all ate. As they were eating, Spotted Eagle hardly touched his food.

"What is wrong son?" Asked Running Water.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning," said Spotted Eagle.

"You're leaving," saddened Nuka.

"But you just got here it seems like," said White Hawk.

"I know, but I have a home, a job that I need to get back to," said Spotted Eagle.

"But I thought this was your home?" Asked Nuka.

"This is my home, I was born here silly. I have a new home now in the city," said Spotted Eagle.

White Hawk got up from the table and sat down outside on the porch. Spotted Eagle followed.

"I'm sorry, but I have a new life, away from this place, there are better thighs out there than this place brother, that nobody knows about it or hasn't tried to leave and discover it, but I will come and visit," said Spotted Eagle.

"When? Another three or four years maybe," said White Hawk crossing his arms.

White Hawk got up and pushed Spotted Eagle out of the way and went inside. It was time for Jimmy to go home now. So he excused himself and went home. Running Water cleaned up as everyone else went to bed, Running Water finished cleaning and went to bed as we'll.

Next morning it was time for Spotted Eagle to go home, back to the city. He gathered his things and put them in the car.

"Goodbye father, I'll come and visit again real soon," said Spotted Eagle.

"Washte" (good)," said Running Water in the Lakota language.

"Bye brother, be good yeah, don't be a stranger," said Big Ben.

"I won't, see ya, bye Nuka, you need to stop growing on me," smiled Spotted Eagle.

"I can't help that I am growing," chuckled Nuka.

"White Hawk, be good yeah, stay out of trouble," said Spotted Eagle.

"I promise," said White Hawk.

"Good," said Spotted Eagle.

Spotted Eagle got into the car and drove off, back into the city.

"Come on, let's go back inside," said Running Water.

"Hey!" Shouted Jimmy running up to their house.

"Come on in Jimmy, what's wrong, somebody's chasing you?" Laughed Big Ben.

"No, I have great news for you guys," said Jimmy with excitement and out of breath.

"What?" Asked Big Ben in confusion.

"Your mother called my mother, and she told me, that your mom is coming home tomorrow morning, 8:00am Indian time, and that she is going to be working at home," said Jimmy.

"Mother!" Shouted Nuka with joy.

"Angel," said Running Water.

"Mom is coming home!" Nuka shouted with excitement.

"That's great, we should celebrate, let's go to Batty's convenient store and get a coke," said White Hawk.

Bats convenient store is in South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge indian Reservation, or what we call them texaco station, or Stripes, or 7 eleven.

So they all went to the car and got inside, as White Hawk was about to get in, he saw the figure, he waved at the figure and the figure waved back. White Hawk got in the car and buckled up.

"Who were you having at son?" Asked Running Water.

"Nobody, just another one of my friends," said White Hawk looking out the car window.

Big Ben looked at his brother in confusion, there was nobody there. As they arrived at Batty's convenient store in the parking lot, a couple of young boys drove up real fast, throwing dust every where and playing there music loud, and honking there horn. They got out of the car and started jumping on hoods of cars that parked there, they jumped on Running Waters hood and put his hand over his moth and made an Indian noise and smile an went inside.

"Do you know those guys?" Asked Running Water.

"Yeah, Haskell and his boys, there jerks," said White Hawk.

"And bullies," said Nuka.

"Come, let's go inside and get a coke," said Running Water getting out of the car.

So they walked inside and got a coke and sat down. Batty's convenient store is located in South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It's what we call a Texaco station, Stripes, Uncles, Valero gas stations.

"When mom comes home tomorrow, I'm going to give her a big fat hug and a kiss," said Nuka.

"Brother I think were all going to do that," smiled Big Ben.

So they finished their coke and got in the car and drove back home. When they arrived home they took showers in cold water and went to bed.

Because they do not have hot running water, even in the winter time, the water is cold.

After they showered they went to bed. Nuka was so excited that he couldn't sleep, finally he decided to sleep.
