Easy girl, Cowboy said as he gently rubbed his hand over his horses mane. He was glad to be back, he'd spent to much time down in Mexico.  He would finally get to see Jillian, his younger sister again. However, as he approached the farm he felt that something was not right. The animals were running berserk, and no lights were on.  Cowboy dismounted his horse about seventy yards from the house.  Cowboy took three steps forward when he heard, Stop right there mister! Suddenly, four huge spotlights glared to life and illuminated the farm.

          Cowboy could see hundreds of men with gun standing in front of the farm house facing him. Cowboy! Its been to long, a figure steeping out of the shadows said.  Hutch? Cowboy asked. In the flesh Hutch replied. What are you doing on my farm! demanded Cowboy. Calm down Cowboy Hutch said, I nearly have a proposition to propose. What. Cowboy asked.  You go down to Brazil, and hunt down Will, or we'll kill your sister, Hutch said. So, I do down to South America, do your dirty work, and you'll let Jillian live? Asked Cowboy. Not only will I let Jillian live, but I shall also return your farm as a token of goodwill, replied Hutch. Alright, Cowboy said, I'll go hunt down Will for you. He's held up at Sao' Querdin at the old Brazilian army fort, Hutch added.  I won't be to long Cowboy said, mounting his horse. As he rode towards Mexico he formulated a plan, he would find Will, but instead of killing him, he would see if Will would help him free Jillian.

                                                  Sao' Querdia  Brazilian/Equestrian border

Cowboy rode hard for almost two weeks and at the end of this time, he reached Sao' Querdia. As he crossed into Sao' Querdia, Cowboy saw dozens of signs tacked up of which somewhere in English rest Cowboy assumed were Portuguese and they read beware of Equestrians. Cowboy let out a quick laugh, these people are afraid of horses, I guess they have been in the sun to long he said. The fort loomed up ahead, and it seemed to grow in size as he slowly road up towards its main gate.

          This is the coolest hiding place ever thought Apple Bloom and she watched the fort from a bush. Maybe I’ll even get my cutie mark in creature watching she thought. Applebloom what in tarnation are you doing? Asked Applejack. Quiet! Applebloom said, you'll scare off the creatures. Gesturing off in the direction of the fort. What creatures? Applejack asked. Those Applebloom said, pointing to the two Russian soldiers on top of the fort. What are they? Applejack asked. I have no idea sis Applebloom responded.

         Will, Will Lufthansa, come out here right now! Cowboy yelled. Go away Cowboy! Will said, stepping on to the forts front wall.  Listen, Will, Hutch has gone crazy.  He  has taken my ranch, and he's holding Jillian hostage Cowboy explained. Well that’s sad, but why bother telling me? Asked Will.  I was hoping that you would come back to Texas with me and help me rescue Jillian said Cowboy. Well you thought wrong, said Will. I know the little game you and Hutch are playing, and you Cowboy ain’t leaving here alive. Will please, we were on the same side! Cowboy protested. Were said Will, and with that he pulled out his Le Mat revolver and shot Cowboy through the side. Cowboy fell to the ground and passed out. Do you want us to finish him? Asked a Russian soldier. No, replied Will, leave him to the vultures.

        We have to help him! cried  Applebloom. Don't worry said Applejack we'll help him, but we gotta wait till them guards leave. As soon as Applejack finished speaking, the two Russian soldiers climbed off the wall. Come on lets go! said Applejack. Applejack using her teeth bit into Cowboy shirt and she began to pull him back towards her farm. Applebloom grabbed his hat with her teeth and began to follow Applejack back towards her Farm. When they reached the Farm Applejack put Cowboy on a bale of hay in the barn. She then went into the house and returned with bandages and a pair of pliers. She soon found the bullet and pulled it out. She rapped his wound with the bandage, put Apple Bloom to bed and then went to sleep herself.
