The West Chapter 1

One hot sunny day the kids were doing their chores outside and inside the house. Jack was hunting for big game; Collin chops the wood for the fire. His two sisters Kate and Grace pick up the eggs and attend to the garden. As Collin was chopping the wood he saw two men coming down the dirt road. As Jack was coming down the cornfield he to saw the men, Jack told Collin, Kate and Grace to go inside the house and stay there.

"Jack I herd your father hasn't came home," asked Greg?

"Yeah so, it's been one day since he hasn't been home, I have a feeling you guys have him locked up somewhere," asked Jack?

"It's been awhile, what do you think," asked Ned?

As Collin was looking out the window they were talking about something, but Collin could not read lips. Then the men got on their horses and rode off. Collin stepped outside and said,

"What did they say about dad," asked Collin?

"Nothing, I told them if they come back here again I'll kill them both," said Jack.

"Any news about your father," asked mother?

"No sorry mother, nothing," said Jack.

"We'll come on, let eat supper," said mother.

So they went to sleep. The next morning Collin woke up and saw that Jack was gone. So he ran and told his mother.

"Mom Jack is gone," said Collin.

"What," asked mother?

"We've got to find him," said Collin.
