I know it as you have always had a fight in you, just like your mother. He spoke softly as a glassy sheen formed over his eyes. Joes in good hands., Sure! Adam wiped his face on his forearm sleeve and began to exit through the door, but not before one last word. The family group hug was the icing on the cake. Joe stopped swinging for a moment as he searched his thoughts for reasons. Your Pas here., Im here Joe. Ben became surprised as to how alert his youngest son had suddenly become. The sun is about to set . I am going to give him some laudanum. He set his medical bag down on the nightstand. Little Joe knew he had to do something.anything, but what? But Adams mind briefly played tricks on him for he saw straight through the dressings and was visualizing blood.lots of blood. Sudden fear built up within Joe as his body began to tense.

It's clear that the 15 year old has been hurt in many ways. Shes my mother, Adam. What am I doing? He shook his head, straightened himself up and slowly ran his fingers through his hair.

He was facing a long day of chores alone. He was now experiencing excruciating pain in his left shoulder, and could only guess the severity of his injury. Youre safe, Joe.. If Adam is still in town, you better tell him to get here quickOh, and telegraph Mr. Cartwright. With shock and grief, he gazed down at Joes blooded, battered body. M-M-Ma A tiny tear rolled down the young mans face as his sad eyes met his fathers. Was Adam really mad at him, or was there just more going on with Adam that he wasnt talking about? It isnt your fault Joe, it isnt anyones fault., No! Joe perked up catching Adam off guard. Adam? He became a bit concerned about his older son. I love you Adam. He slipped off to sleep. He and his son are from New Orleans. Oh, Paul! I got it Pa. Adam didnt even raise his head nor did he make eye contact.

Over the next month Joes healing, both physically and mentally, although slow was progressing, as was his relationship with the family. He couldnt concern himself with that now for he really needed Adam. I need you to get over here so I can get some answers out of this piece of trash. The man stared back at Joe with the look of Satan in his eyes. Joe stopped again, standing breathless and distraught and staring at his careless pile of split logs. Ben was slouched back in the chair near the window while early morning rain began tapping at the pane. Over the next couple of weeks the Cartwrights were still bewildered about Little Joes refusal to talk about his terrorizing nightmares, however, they were there for him in case he wanted to open up. Ben, I have to leave. Answers his older brother wasnt sure he could give, although he could give support and love. You and that no good father of yours killed her!. I shouldnt have had that beer.

Staring fiercely into Joes widened green eyes the man shouted, Just how old are you boy?. Wide eyed, Adam was sluggish as he entered. Although he fully understood that the fewer setbacks Little Joe had hopefully the quicker he would healemotionally. Joe, we have something for you. As his family surrounded him, Adam handed him a wrapped package. Firmly pressing his hands on the desk, he leaned over, facing his father.
