side pretty well. The note said,
    “I know about the governor coming. We will be on the lookout around Cold Creek so no one will get hurt. You’ve got the word of Desert Fox. Come tomorrow night to my people’s land for our friend that died and give him a good funeral.”
    D.H. thanked his lucky stars that his good friend Desert Fox would help him out during this hard time and make sure that no one would get hurt, even the governor. So far, no one but the mayor knew when the governor was coming, but it was best to stay ready and alert. Nobody wanted to take any chances.
    The next night, D.H. got dressed to go to the funeral, and calmly left the hotel without anybody knowing what he was doing. He jumped up onto to his horse and calmly too of without anybody seeing him. He made it to Indian area where everybody was waiting for him, and right away all of them got started.
    A whole hour passed. This was a beautiful funeral for the poor guy that passed on. D.H. really wished that he could have met him. It was so wrong that he died at a young age. Everybody deserves to live a full life happily. Two hours passed, and the funeral ended. Everybody went to their own place, dealing with the loss of one of their own.
    Meanwhile, Desert Fox went to the same place where he always goes to think about . So D.H. decided to go up and join him. D.H. could understand how hard it is to lose a loved one. So that’s why he’s going up to him-to talk to him ease the pain away. It’s not healthy to keep everything inside, so he went to Desert Fox to talk about these things.
    “How are you holding up, Desert Fox?” said D.H.
    “I’m doing well. Thanks for asking. I can’t believe that he’s gone. He’s just a child. If I only was there to help him out,” said Desert Fox.
    “There was nothing you could do. It wasn’t your fault. Believe me, you’ll get your revenge on Thomas,” said D.H.
    “I know, I know. But believe me, I’ll get the last laugh on this. That, I promise. But thanks for coming here to have a talk with me. That helped to ease the pain a little bit,” said Desert Fox.
    “You are welcome. What friends are for is to help each other,” said D.H.
    It was almost midnight, and time for D.H. to leave. He said good-bye to everybody and said he would see them later. That also goes for Desert Fox. Desert Fox said the same thing to him and thanked him for coming here at this hard time, and D.H. took off without any trouble. He made it to his hotel room, and luckily for him, no one saw him coming in. He went right to bed.

    E verybody in town is getting ready for when the governor comes to their hometown of Cold Creek. They’re hoping that none of those gangsters would come out and cause trouble, because that’s the last thing anybody in town wants. D.H. is doing his to help everybody out in town the best way he can. And at t same time, he’s being watched by the Indians so no one will outsmart him or use him in any way.
    What this town really needs is a good sheriff to uphold the law and to protect this town. D.H. believe that everybody needs a hero, even a town. D.H. is hoping that one day he can be sheriff to look out after his town. And that’s good old Cold Creek, because this town is part of him and now and will always be part of him.
    So far, everybody knew when the governor was coming and that was tomorrow. Luckily for D.H., he was the first to know when the governor was coming, and he informed Desert Fox. D.H. is praying that nothing bad will happen tomorrow, because the last thing that he wants is a shooting to kill the governor.
    Desert Fox and D.H. knew Thomas well enough to know that would do something like this. So tomorrow Desert Fox and his people will be ready, guarding the governor secretly without anybody knowing at all.
    The next day came. Everybody had the guard up, with the Indians protecting the governor. Luckily for the Indians, no one sees them, so they are safe for now. A wagon is
