She told him to hurry that she didn't like being in the open like this. They settled back down into the trailer and went to sleep on a full stomach. She dreamed that they found her and to save her Satan had jumped in between her and the bad men knocking one down onto the ground.She put her air plug in and went back to sleep listening to gospel music sung by country western singers.
Early the next morning she was woke up by Satan nudging her and growling. She peeped out and then whispered into his ear. Yes buddy I know you saw who killed our momma and daddy so we got to stay down and be very quiet and she put her finger to her lips. He laid down covering part of her body with his. A little later she saw the young man walk out of the cafe at the motel and cross the parking lot. He opened the door and threw his bag into the passenger seat and off they were on their way again. He crossed over the Kentucky border. She saw a sign that said welcome to horse racing country,

The other man was from Church Hill Downs and he was going to deliver the geilding to the race track while the young man headed to Missouri with this young cladsdale to his new home. Marla breathed easilier knowing she wouldn't be having to get out and try to find another way west. Allshe knew for sure was she wasn't going to go to Chuch Hill Downs where her uncle and his cronies gambled on horses all the time. .
