Saving Shiloh Page #4

---

- I think so.

- Sounded close. Where'd it come from?

- I'm not sure.

But it sounded like it was on

our property. What should we do?

Nothing for now. Probably just

somebody out shooting at rabbits.

- You kids come on inside and play.

- Come on, Becky.

I'm gonna go visit Judd,

see how he's doing.

- Why not just call him on the phone?

- Maybe I can help him out or something.

- All right, but don't be gone too long.

- All right, bye.

Come on, Shiloh. Come on.

Come with me. Come on, boy.

I wish there was some way

you wouldn't be so scared of Judd.

Judd. You in there, Judd?

Hey, you're driving now.

When I gotta get somewhere is about it.

What are you doing around here?

Just dropped by to see

how you were doing.

Well, I'm doing fine.

- You coming in?

- lf that's okay.

Oh, it's milk.

What did you expect? Whiskey?

All right, what you hiding

behind your back?

It's a little something

I was wondering if you recognize.

- Where'd you get that?

- Over by the creek.

- Know who it belongs to?

- Well, of course. It's mine.

Lost it the night of the accident.

Those rescue folks took it off

and just chucked it away.

Didn't you miss it when you dressed

to come home from the hospital?

I missed it before that.

A boy over at Whelan's Garage gave me

an old pair of sneakers to get home in.

- You want a soda pop?

- Okay.

Thanks.

- How are things?

- Good.

Working for that vet over

in Sisterville, Doc Collins.

Learning a lot about dogs.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

We see a lot of dogs

that have been chained.

Most of them are awful mean.

It seems that they

feel trapped and lonely.

Like if something came along

to attack them, they couldn't fight back.

- So they act all ferocious all the time.

- That a fact?

Well.

Well, I know lonely.

I know trapped.

Looking at the buckle end

of my daddy's belt.

Sometimes he beat me when he was sad.

Sometimes he beat me when he was happy.

Sometimes he was

just happy to beat me.

Memories.

Memories, huh, kid? Just memories.

Why don't you get on out of here.

I'm gonna take a nap.

Okay. See you around.

It's only for the day, boy.

We'll be back late tonight.

All right, love you. Stay here.

Dad, you sure we can leave him out,

with the gunshots and all?

He'll be fine.

Hey.

- Aunt Hettie!

- Aunt Hettie!

Now, these are for you!

- Thanks, Aunt Hettie!

- Here you go.

- You shouldn't have, sis.

- You know I love to.

How are you, darling?

How good to see you.

Come on in, Mom's waiting.

Hey, kiddy, how are you?

- There's Grandma.

- Go on.

Come on, guys.

Hi, Mother.

- I brought the family to see you.

- It was right outside my door.

- What, Mother?

- My brand-new oven.
