"Maybe what Hikaru has is the first volume. You and I don't know what was published. Oh, you mean what I have in my case at this time. Has it occurred that other journals will be supplied?
 
"Nobody, except for those who compared a copy with the original, can claim it was edited."
 
Jeanette Isabelle

"I'm following what seems the most logical to me. Unless someone compares a copy with the original, they would not know if the journal is character for character the same or edited."
 
Jeanette Isabelle

"It is logical because I'm looking at a bigger picture. You keep saying I need to do what is right for me. Doing what I believe is logical is what's right for me." Jeanette leaves.
 
In Hondo and Valentine's camper, Moro is boiling the potatoes she had cleaned and cut into pieces.
 
Jeanette steps in the camper. "Moro, I have a couple of questions."
 
"What is it?" Moro asks.
 
"Did the Texas Spirits reactivate the time loop?"
 
"No."
 
"Fernando said you reactivated the time loop because you were not happy with my results."
 
"That's not true. During the time you were here, you did a good job."
 
"Was my journal edited?"
 
"The only change made was adding a blank line between the date of the journal entry and the body of the journal entry. That and we indicated when a new paragraph began. Everything else we left alone even the capitalization error you made in your first entry."
 
Jeanette had spelled X-Men "X-men" when she wrote the April 30, 2066 entry. As Moro said, that was not corrected when the journal was published. The May 1, 2066 entry looks rushed; no changes were made to it either.

Hearing the commotion outside, Fernando turns to Macey, "You do not leave from here." before stepping out of the camper.
 
Looking out he can see somebody leave the camp area, Karl from the looks of it. Stepping out into the clearing in front of the campers, he sees Hondo stepping out of his camper.
 
"What happened?" Fernando asks while looking in the direction Karl left in.
 
"Where did he go?" Hondo asks.
 
"First, what happened?" Fernando asks.
 
"That Karl, not only has he played Tonya and Zoey, but he also threatened us." Hondo tells him.
 
"How did he threatened us?" Fernando asks.
 
Hondo sighs, "He said 'You will regret it You all will.' Then he said that we are 'headed for death...'"
 
"I Hate doing this, I really do." Fernando says as he lifts up his cane and twists the knob and puts his hand on Hondo's shoulder. In a flash, they were at the entrance of town for the parking area, some 10ft ahead of Karl. Fernando reaches into his jacket and pulls out his Para Arms 1911 and aims it at Karl. Hondo follow suit with his revolver.
 
Blinded by the light, Karl shields his eyes for a moment before Fernando and Hondo get to his side. He then realizes who were next to him.
 
"I do not know how you got here, but it figures you had to get your friend." Karl taunts at Hondo.
 
Hondo wanted to charge at Karl, but Fernando holds him back. Fernando tells him, "You do not want to meet my friends, you poor excuse of a living being."
 
"Oh like what are you and your friends going to do?" Karl tries tries to man up to Fernando.
 
"I could kick your damn ass and make your sorry tail regret it. But I'll let my friend Lucy do it for me." Fernando tells him. With a stamp of the cane onto the floor, there was another bright light. Fernando and Hondo are up in the branches of a strange looking tree, while Karl is on the ground by its base.
 
"Hey loser! Up Here!" Fernando yells down at him. It is followed by a very loud roar that gets a lot more than Karl's attention, it also gets his fear and adrenaline going. It is Fernando's turn to taunt him as he jumps down to his side and grabs him by the scruff of his neck and puts his gun under his chin, "Shooting you dead here would be the nice thing to do."
 
The loud steps of something coming close gets closer to them and the roar louder.
 
"So, I'm going to regret it? Hondo's going to regret it? No. You are going to regret deal with us, because you are disrespecting our generosity. Let see - according to Japanese Law, since we saved your damn ass, we own it. So we can do what we want with it." Fernando tells him as the thumping of loud footsteps get louder and closer. Fernando shakes Karl by the scruff of his neck to keep him still. "Now listen and listen good, if you want to live, stay very still."
 
The smell of hot humid carrion breathe surrounds them like a sickening fog. Fernando pulls on Karl's neck to make him look up where he sees nothing but teeth as large as his fists and an eye ball as big as his head.
 
"This is Lucy. She's a T-Rex from the Late Cretaceous Time Period some 70million years before you were born." Fernando says as he tries to ignore the smell of shit coming out of Karl's pants. "So, you and what army is going to make me and my family regret any thing?"  
 
Lucy roars at them one more time only to be swatted on the nose by Fernando's cane. "Cut it out, Lucy!"
 
The mighty T-Rex cowards it's head into its tiny arms.
 
"Go, Lucy! Go!" Fernando points his cane away from them. Amazingly the T-Rex looks to where he was pointing before leaving in that direction. He then shakes Karl up, "Stop crying like a #$@!ing baby! Lucy would be nice to you and chomp on you a couple of times before swallowing you whole. The Troodons will treat you like a pack of wolves chasing a wounded buffalo - they will chase you and force you to run until you can not run no more and then rip your body apart without killing you. Now you have some apologizing to do to a lot oe people, and you will remain with us until you get to Texas, for if you disappear for a minute, you end up here without us. Consider yourself lucky if Lucy catches you alone here."
 
Fernando signals Hondo to come down from the tree.. He jumps down from the higher branch to the floor below.
 
"I forget how much lighter gravity is in this time." Hondo says.
 
"That meteor added a lot of mass to the earth when it hit." Fernando says, then pushes a distraught Karl to him, "He will be much more easier to deal with. Make sure he gets a shower."
 
Hondo grabs Karl by the shoulder and lifts him up onto his feet, "Yeah. I'll deal with it"
 
Fernando stomps his cane onto the group after a bright flash of light, they are standing by their camp.

Hondo: Thanks, Jefe. Id rather have shot but.  . .
 
Fernando: It would have just caused issues.
 
Hondo: I'm sure I'll hear about it anyway. When you get time we have some things to talk about.  
 
Fernando: I have just got done with Jeanette. I need to take care of an issue of my own then we can talk.
 
Hondo: Alright.  
 
Hondo turned to Karl. He grabbed Karl's clothes off the Hood of the bronco.
 
Hondo: Use the outside shower and wash yourself. Once you are done you can hand wash those clothes. After which you will report to myself not Fernando for work. You will stay away from all the women folk.
 
Karl murmured: Go #$@! yourself, asshole.
 
Hondo: What was that?!
 
Karl: I said, I'd better go get that shower.
 
Hondo: Then do it.
 
Ruth came marching up to Hondo. Joanna could be heard yelling to her as she tried to catch up.
 
Joanna: Ruth, please. I'm sure he had his reason.
 
Ruth: Hondo! You can't  kick out Karl! I can like who I want and you don't  have a say in it!
 
Hondo: WHAT? You are not makin' any sense.  
 
Ruth: You kicked out Karl from the camp.
 
Hondo: He's staying for now, but he's to stay away from you ladies.
 
Ruth: You are not my father! I can like who I want!
 
Joanna: Please, Ruth. Let him explain!  
 
Hondo: Ruth, he's a player. He played Tonya and Zoey, he's trying now play you, and he threatened all of us when confronted to reveal the truth.
 
Ruth: That's a lie! He told me you are forcing him out as you don't want us together and you lied to Tonya and Zoey to drive a wedge between them so they would need you! I don't  know what kind of sick person gets off having girls worship him like that but it makes me sick! Hurt Karl or try to make him leave and I'll help the slavers find you!
 
Ruth stormed off. Joanna shrugged.
 
Joanna: A woman scorned? Sorry. Is what you say true? Is Karl out to play her?
 
Hondo: Yes. And he wants to drive a wedge between you four and the boys as well.
 
Joanna: After everything...? What a louse!  Don't worry about Ruth. She will settle down.  
 
Hondo: I hope so. Just try to support her carefully.  If I hafta be the bad guy, so be it. Just don't let it come between you two. Fernando and I will take care of Karl. Just try to keep her busy. I know it won't be easy but...
 
Joanna: I'll try. Thanks.
 
Joanna turned and went to go find Ruth.
