when men were men. chapter six

by Jack in British Columbia

George and Matthias were long gone.

Raphid was in a rage, pounding his trackers to there limits

“can we please stop just for a little bit “

“ please just for a few minutes”

“we’ve been tracking for hours and hours”

“don’t you think we could stop king?”

Begged the trackers,

“ sure I guess I have been a little to harsh”

replied the king,

20 seconds later ever man was asleep except for raphid,
He was galloping back to his empire deserting the sleeping trackers.
The next morning the trackers awoke,

“that was mighty nice of the king to let us rest weren’t it”

“You said it”

“but for some reason I think we’ve been fooled”

“I feel the same way”
Both trackers looked around the camp, and then realized
What happened
“now what are we going to do”

The trackers yelled.

“What’s going on”

asked George who was watching the trackers getting angry and blaming each other

“well”

Matthias replied

“it looks like the king deserted the whole lot”

George’s eyes gleamed thinking of what a great army he would have if he could get the trackers to join him and Matthias, Matthias looked at George and knew what he was thinking,
“I’ve got a plan” Matthias said

“what’s your plan” asked George

“watch and learn”
Matthias said as he walked out of the bush and into the trackers view, all the trackers turned in amazement
“Matthias?” they asked confused

“yes its me”

“how did you survive?”

“oh that’s easy, he said with his tunic even more ripped up and dirty then it used to be

“looks easy” said one tracker sarcastically

“well back to the point” Matthias said with a smile

“ I was wondering do any of you want to get back at the king?”

Two hours later George and Matthias were marching with one hundred trackers behind them

“what do you think George this enough troops”

“yes I think so, the odds are low with so little troops, but so where they when I escaped”
