starting to come with lots of Texas Rangers and soldiers all around the wagon, with the governor inside.
    They made it safely to town without any trouble, for which D.H. was glad. Calmly, the governor came out of the wagon. The second that the governor came out, he knew right away that this town needed help for sure. First things first. He’s getting down to business, going to the mayor’s office to have a serious talk with him.
    Everybody was wishing that they could have gone outside and met the governor, but everybody was scared half to death, even to look out through the window, knowing that those gangsters were over there. The governor has the Texas Rangers and the soldiers around him, so none of those gangsters will dare to go near him or do anything else.
    There’s a knock on the door, and the mayor calmly, but at the same time scared half to death, opens the door. He welcomes the governor in. The governor calmly went into the office of the mayor. He sat down, and so did Mayor Jacobson, right in front of his desk. Mayor Jacobson was scared half to death about what the governor was about to say, but he stayed relaxed the whole time.
    “All right, let’s get down to business. Mayor Jacobson, I came a long way to see what’s going on. Now I expect you to tell me the truth,” said the governor.
    “All right, I understand. What do you want to know?” said Mayor Jacobson.
    “I already knew that some men had been killed, and it wasn’t easy for me to send all of their families letters telling them that their loved ones have been killed. There are a few things that I really don’t understand about Cold Creek,” said the governor.
    “What is it?” said Mayor Jacobson.
    “The first thing I don’t understand is why there aren’t any laws protecting everybody here in these town. The second thing is why Indians are around here protecting everybody here in town, and somebody else-an American,” said the governor.
    The governor and the mayor talked for an hour inside the mayor’s office. Both of them calmly came out, smiling and shaking hands. Everybody knows right away that it went well, based on the way they are acting.
    The governor got into the wagon and took off, but the mayor, on the other hand, did something. He put up a poster that said,
    To the people of Cold Creek. There will be a lot of changes here in Cold Creek, and here is one of the things. We are getting a sheriff of the mayor’s choice only and there will be new laws in effect today. Also there will be new laws in effect today.
    Everybody is glad. One person said to himself, “Thank the Lord.” It seems like every prayer has been answered, and luckily for them there weren’t any shootings today. D.H. is that something like this happened. The best thing to do was to tell Desert Fox, but luckily for him, he saw him behind the building coming down from the roof.
    “All right, Desert Fox. It seems like our plan worked. Thank you for helping me out on this,” said D.H.
    “You’re welcome. D.H. I’ve got to ask you this. What happened in the mayor’s office?” said Desert Fox.
    “It went all right. The government is going to make a lot of changes here in Cold Creek, all thanks to us,” said D.H.
    “That’s good to hear. Change is always good in these cases, but we’re not out of the woods yet,” said Desert Fox.
    “What do you mean?” said D.H.
    “I mean that those gangsters are still out there, and you know how gangsters act. They never obey the law. So either way we’re the ones that this town needs to stop them,” said Desert Fox.
    “That’s true, all right I’ll keep you informed on what’s going on here with the new laws,” said D.H.
    Out of nowhere was shooting in the middle of the street. Desert Fox told D.H. to be careful and stay low. He’ll take care of it. D.H went somewhere to stay out of the shooting, but he was hoping at the same time that Desert Fox would be all right, and his friends that are fighting back know.
