The bad guys look at Gray Wolf. They down a couple of
drinks and wait for him to speak.
Gray Wolf breaks the silence knowing his cohorts would
not understand, "I saw Emera Softwind put a curse on the
Stableboy and send him to the other world."
The bad guys look at each other.
The small bad guy speculates, "Udder world? He kill 'em
and sent 'em down der?" he points down.
With a smug look, Gray Wolf responds, "You've heard of
Earth, the other world, haven't you?"
The bad guys shake their heads yes, but shrug their
shoulders in disbelief looking at each other.
Finally, the small bad guy says, "Yeah. But, them's jest
stories. There ain't no setch place. There ain't, ere they?"
Gray Wolf assures them, "Yes, there is, and we'll be going
there to get the treasure."
"We'll be going there?" the 'in-charge' bad guy asks,
"How do we get to this here other world place?"
"Black Elk is bringing a medicine man that will send us
there."
An hour later Gray Wolf and the Bad Guys, quite liquored-up,
are still sitting at the table as Black Elk comes
into the cabin carrying a colorful bow and pulling an old
Indian man whose hands are tied up.
He pushes him to the corner, "Sit there," as he stands
the bow against the wall next to the door jamb.
"Who's the Injun?" asks the 'in-charge' bad guy.
"He's Running Bear, the medicine man. He has the power
to get us to the other world."
