JUNE 7, 1861

Ike stepped off and went towards the back of the train where the cargo box was. The porter had just pulled opened the door when he arrived. The porter pulled a board over and slanted it against the train to make a ramp. "Is this your horse?" Ike nodded. He got into the cargo box and lead Shyster down the ramp. As he looked around, he thought, it's good to be home, but he still was unhappy because he hadn't found his sister.

Ike walked Shyster over to the jailhouse. He knocked on the door and then entered to see Teaspoon at his desk. Surprised at his visitor, Teaspoon dropped the wanted posters to his desk, some falling to the floor. "IKE! Son it's good to see you." Teaspoon stood up. "Did you just get back?" Ike nodded.

"The lads will be glad to see you." Teaspoon realized there wasn't anybody with him. "Did you find her, Ike?" Ike shook his head. "Oh, I'm sorry, son. Come on lets go out to the station. Rachel will be glad to see you since we just had one leave." Ike quickly signed. "Jesse went to visit Rose. I'll tell you all what's been happening on the way out to the station."

When Ike and Teaspoon rode into the station, Rachel was just sending Lou off on a run. Lou stopped to welcome Ike home, and then she rode off. "Ike, it's good to see you." Rachel said as Ike dropped to the ground. "How did it go?" Ike shook his head. "Oh!"

"Ike!" Kid called as him and Buck had just came out of the bunkhouse and were heading to the house to have lunch. Glad to see him, Kid and Buck slapped Ike on the shoulder. They all went inside to have lunch and to hear about Ike's search for his sister.
