Kid West Page #4

---

You know,

no one ever knew what happened

to old Walter Smith's descendants.

Except, of course, his descendants.

You?

You're a smart one, Harper.

Don't go after that staff, Sheriff.

Says the expert.

You people think you're so wise,

but you can barely even survive.

I'll say this for you though,

you know how to hold a grudge.

But even there, I have you beat.

Your ancestor cursed my family,

and now I'm gonna curse yours.

Mom!

Like I told you, boy,

your grandpa knows what he's doing.

Grandpa?

You three are under arrest

for the theft of this key.

No need for the grim faces, ladies.

Soon as we get the staff,

we'll come right back

and upgrade you to a nice

comfortable jail cell.

If I wasn't a young lady with manners,

I'd say you deserve to be cursed.

You got the legend all wrong, Cowgirl.

It's not evil the staff

brings, it's power.

Guess it wasn't mean to to be, Pocahontas.

In your dreams.

Well, Harper, I'm disappointed

in my honorary deputy.

You helped me out, but you

broke the law to do it.

Now your mom's gonna lose

her job and the house too.

But don't worry, I'm sure she

can write to you from prison.

Come on, Mucus.

(MUMBLING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That's one messed up

game of musical chairs.

They're at least five

minutes ahead of us.

Hopefully we can catch up to them.

Come with us.

When the time's right.

Remember your gifts.

Do not leave her side.

Count on it.

(ENGINE STALLS)

(ENGINE STARTS)

In a few miles, we

cross timber creek bridge.

Then we go off road and head east.

The cavern shouldn't

be too far from there.

That is if I'm reading this thing right.

Well, of course you are.

You're a sharp young fella

with a lot of potential.

How much further is it?

In a little while, we'll

reach a small bridge.

Then we'll be close.

I see the Sheriff on that other road.

Hey, they're gaining on us.

Who?

Who do you think?

I wouldn't worry about it.

Isn't there supposed to

be a bridge on this road?

Isn't there another way around?

Not unless we double back.

Oh no.

Looks like this truck's

got some life left in her.

(ENGINE BOOM!)

Where to?

Follow me.

Stay here and guard the door.

Well now, looks like you

ladies here for some wings.

You're gonna need 'em again.

Time for lunch, boy.

Hey there, handsome.

Get 'em, you stupid dog!

Get 'em.

(YELLING)

(SPOOKY MUSIC)

Let me have it.

Just like you promised.

All in good time, boy.

[HARPER] I wouldn't touch that staff.

If I were you, I'd get out of here

while you still can, Cowgirl.

Who told you the staff would

you give you power, Braden?

Someone I trust.

Did he tell you what

he was gonna use it for?

Say goodbye to your girlfriend.

What?

What's she talking about?

You wouldn't understand.

I had high hopes for you,

but it turns out you're a disappointment

just like your father.

(YELLING)

Hold still, you low life.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Hey Sheriff!

Braden, let go of the staff.

I can't!

Angie, can you get it out of his hands?

I don't know.

I need your help.

(WHISPERING IN OJIBWE LANGUAGE)

(YELLING)

Braden, get her out of here.

I don't take orders from you.

Do you wanna see your

girlfriend go up in flames?

Harper, what are you doing?

I'll be right there.

Get over here.

In a minute.

Harper, you leave that thing alone.

No can do.

Harper!

You need it.

Kid West!

I need you more.

We're gonna lose our

house again, aren't we?

Why would you think that?

I heard you on the phone.

We can't afford it.

You thought I was talking about my job?

Weren't you?

Oh, sweetheart.

I was talking about your daddy's truck.

It's on its last legs and

I can't afford to fix it.

So we don't have to move?

I'm sorry.

For what?

For trying to do your job.

I trust you.

It's just.

But not like you trusted him.

It's all right, you're in good company.

I like your truck back there.

95?

Looks like it needs a little work.

Looks like it.

I know a place that offers a good deal.

Oh, I appreciate it,

but we couldn't afford it.

He said, "He knows a place."

Through the rain

Through the storm

Through defeat or battering scorn

Every hope

And every doubt

You'll always be my girl

Come on inside, Jeremiah.

I'll fix you something to eat.

Thought you'd be in jail.

Got off with a warning.

Helped out with the investigation.

You mean you sold out your

grandpa and your friends.

I'm no rat.

I'm just a pragmatist.

You don't even know

what that word means.

Do too.

Got something for you, Cowgirl.

I found that.

Lying around.

Better watch out, Cowgirl.

I still own this neighborhood.

You too.

Angie.

Hey!

Hey!

Excuse me, are you Kid West?

Sure am, is everything all right?

You wouldn't believe it.

But over at the junior high field,

a whole swarm of bullies

stopped our fun loving game

of one hand touch football.

What do they want?

Well, you see,

they've turned one of the goal posts

into a giant sling shot.

And they threatened to launch my friends

one by one until we surrender the field.

How many bullies?

45 at least.

We're on it.

Okay.

45 bullies, could be

our biggest battle ever.

I don't know, Little Sky.

The summer's not over yet.

(UPBEAT RHYTHMIC MUSIC)

Through the rain

Through the storm

Through defeat or battering scorn

Your despair

Is my own

Darkened canopy of the unknown

You'll be all right

I'm here tonight

Forever right here

Forever right now

Forever in hope

Forever in doubt

You'll be

My girl

Oh

Oh

Oh
