. Heading around a grove of trees a noise stopped him in his tracks. It sounded like a woman�s voice so he stepping down from the saddle and turned his ear to the sounds. All of a sudden someone grabbed him from behind forcing his head down between his own two legs. He let the man take him down without a fight, as there was no point fighting any ways because if the man wanted him dead he�d be a goner, he wasn't armed and his gun was still in the scabbard attached to his saddle. Blue being as smart as he was, had quickly stepped out of the way of the attacker only to stand a safe distance away watching the scene unfold. Both his arms where held behind his back in a vice like grip and after smelling the dirt for a few moments he was easily and silently hauled back to his feet. Then he was forcefully pushed towards the middle of the stand of small pines trees and right into the shadows of the night. He stole a glance sideways at his assailant only to notices he was being led by not one, but two big Indian men, dressed in full deer skin suits and packing large bow and arrows strapped to each of their backs. He hadn't really taken the time before to think about the wisdom of coming out to look for the Medicine woman but now he was. Unceremoniously he was pushed down into a sitting position beside a small fire and in front of a big hand painted Tepee. �Found them� he said under his breath. The two men stood behind him making their point to shut up without having to say a word.
