DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 "Okay Joe...I'm gonna lift ya..." Carefully he lifted Joe off the ground and carried him to his horse sitting him on the saddle and climbing up behind him so that Joe could lean against him. Holding Joe close so that he was jarred as little as posible he shook the reins he held in one hand and urged the horse into a fast walk.

"I gotcha Joe..." he whispered as the horse sped along the dusty road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
