this one really goes along with the H and Frank theme of the week. But as always enjoy.
Year 4 Month 9
We had a number of people that had moved in to the valley during the last summer season and we found that some were not willing to work for the betterment of the community. As a matter of fact they just wanted to feed off of what others did. Once such family was the Borden family, there were Pa and Ma Borden and 3 kids Jr., Ann and Little One. It was like there even to lazy to name the last child.
One day as I was doing the morning dishes Lightning tore out of the house with much growling and chipping. I knew that something wasn’t right in the barn. By the time I went and got a gun then raced to the barn I found Lightning had all three of the Borden children backed into a corner stall. In their push cart was not only some of our best horse tact but grain and I noticed that the gate on Jako’s stall was unlatched. I looked at the push cart and then at the kids who had real fear on their face. “Lightning go get Horatio and Frank.” The big cat turned and ran out of the barn.
I followed the big cat’s movement with my eyes. Giving Jr. just the opening he needed and he jumped me. I had not seen him pull a knife from behind his back. I yelled as I went down and the blade caught me in the left shoulder. The gun was discharged and the report was heard by Gladys, she had been hanging her laundry on the line, she dropped the sheet that she had just picked up and headed for the barn which was on the other side of her house. Lin Woo had been in the herb garden on the other side of the house and had seen Lightning tear out of the yard. Then she heard the gun go off. She dropped her trowel and ran for the back of the house. The three Borden children took off when the gun discharged.
As the Borden children ran out of the barn one way Gladys and Lin Woo came in the other. I lay on the ground just inside the door they had come in. I was losing blood at a very fast rate and Lin Woo told Gladys to get on the radio and get Alexx here fast. Gladys ran out of the barn and to her house. She saw the Borden children climbing the back fence. Lin Woo began to apply pressure to the long gash that started at my left shoulder and went across my chest and ended at the top of the right breast.
As Gladys got on the radio Lightning was tearing up the steps to the mayor’s office. He was in a meeting with Capt Rabb about extending the farm lands so that more food could be grown. They were also discussing the use of machinery to help in the planting and harvesting of the food. Everyone gave way to the big cat as he made his way to Horatio. Between Lightning’s agitated chipping and growls Horatio was aware of him long before he started scratching on the door of the conference room. When Tripp got up and opened the door the cat came in and let out a howl that made everyone’s hair stand on end. He then jumped on the table and walked the length of it till he was in front of Horatio and the noses were touching. “I have to go.” Horatio stood up and walked out of the building and got on the first horse that was hitched to the railing outside the building. He turned the horse towards home and gave it a kick in the side. The horse shot out towards the house with Lightning running beside him. No one had ever seen Horatio ride a horse at the breakneck speed he put the mount through at that time.
The owner of the horse began to shout. “That’s my horse Mr. Mayor!” Frank put his hand on the man’s shoulder and told him the mayor needed to borrow the mount. Capt. Rabb was only a step behind Frank. He yelled at the corporal that was his driver. And they all jumped into the jeep that was provided for any visiting military personal. They headed straight to the house.
Horatio reined in his mount and jumped off all in one fluid motion. He was in the barn at my side in a heart beat. “Kate! Kate! What happened?” Lin Woo was looking at me and then at H. “She is very bad. Cut deep and she is loose too much blood.” Gladys came in at the same time that the jeep carrying Harm and Frank drove up. Both men jumped out and ran into the barn. Harm took one look at the wound and told his aid to get on the radio and see how long before Dr. Woods would be. He also told him to bring the med kit. As he knelt beside me he began to get out meds and gauze pads. The driver told Capt. Rabb that the doctors were 2 minutes out.
I moved my head and looked at my beloved. “The Borden boy Jr. . .” I coughed and blood splatter hit Horatio. “They were trying to steal Jako.” Another coughing fit hit me. Horatio brushed my hair back. “Don’t talk love. Save your strength. Alexx is on her way.” I smiled at him. Even now he was so handsome, I wondered how did I luck out and get this guy to stay with me? “Lightning heard them. Good cat.” I looked into Horatio’s eyes. “Get them…don’t let them…get away…and hurt some one else.” H took my hand and put it to his lips. “I promise you I will get them.” He looked at Frank and there was a steel look that passed between them.
They both stood at the same time. Just then Alexx came in. To her he said. “Take care of Kate for me.” Alexx nodded and seeing the look in his eyes she had long ago seen many times when he was on the hunt. “Frank go get your mount I’m taking Dragon.” Horatio turned to Gladys. “Call Eric and Twomoons I am going to need them.” Horatio then looked at the captain. “If you want to go you can ride Jako.” Capt Rabb said that he wanted part of the hunt for the assailants.
As the three men got into the saddle Eric and Twomoons came up. They informed H that the entire valley was looking for the Borden family. “They won’t get far. Not like in Miami where there were plenty of places to hide.” Horatio looked at the new riders and he told Twomoons that Gladys had seen them going over the fence.
He rode out at a fast gallop to the fence. At some point he stopped and got down off his mount. He examined the ground and made a motion for the others to join him. As the others rained their horses in, Twomoons showed them where the kids had gone over the fence. Also there by the fence lay the knife that the boy had used on me. “Don’t touch the knife!” Horatio commanded. Eric got down, whipped the camera around and took a several shots of the knife and the ground. His old CSI instincts came back as soon as they began to hunt. “H we’re not going to be able to get a plaster mold, no plaster. But I took pictures from every angle. He then reached down with a gloved hand and picked up the knife and put it into an evidence bag, sealed it and handed it to Horatio. How then put it in his saddle bag. “We believe trust and verify is the best way Capt Rabb. It comes from years of CIS training.” He then turned to Eric and Tripp “Gentlemen, here we go.”
He then turned Dragon away from the fence and went about 40 feet turned back towards the fence and gave the command to go. By the time they reached the fence Dragon had gathered a bit of speed that had him sailing high over the fence. When the two came to a halt H removed his sunglasses and turning in the saddle called back to the others. “Are you gentlemen going to join me?”
