     A couple days after Charlie left Jason was 

stacking wood with his brothers at the mill. They 

were nearly done with the new hotel. He could 

never be so happy, working with his brothers at the 

mill as an equal with King by his side. He thought 

nothing could be any better. 

     Then something even better happened, Jamie 

came back! He was so happy to see Jamie standing 

there on the dock.   Jamie just got back from her 

tour. 

   The next day Jason was woken up by a sudden cry 

of pain. He quickly rushed out of the cabin to see 

Ethan sitting on his knees with 3 logs on his arm. 

Jason called for help and Abe came rushing out of 

the cabin. They both lifted the logs off of Ethan's 

arm. Ethan was rushed inside the cabin. 

    They used all of the medicine Dawson had. One 

week later Ethan was woke up to people surrounding 

him. He looked at his arm and noticed bandages all 

over his arm. He unwrapped them and everyone 

was shocked. Ethan made a full recovery! He could 

actually use his arm! 

   Jason was stacking lumber at the mill like any other 

day and Ethan came out with great news. The hotel was 

done! Jason rushed through the maze of lumber stacks 

to notice a big three story hotel standing there right 

outside of the mill! He looked at the name of the mill 

and read, Grand Barker Hotel. He thought there was 

something fishy going on. So he walked inside the 

massive hotel and saw Kid Barker standing there talking 

to three men! Jason thought that Kid Barker was 

arrested with the rest of Soapy's gang.

   Jason tried to get in closer to listen to Kid Barker's 

conversation but he was noticed sneaking around and 

got kicked out. He was determined to get in there but 

he wasn't able to, not now. He didn't know what to do. 

So many things were happening all at once. He decided 

to go back to the mill and chop more wood. The next 

morning Jason did his normal routine, stacking wood, 

chopping wood and feeding King but this time 

something new happened.

   Like every morning Jason was stacking lumber. Once 

he finished his shift at the mill, he decided to go for a 

walk in the forest with King. On his way in the forest he 

ran into a wolf. He quickly pulled out his rifle to fire at 

the wolf but he only had one bullet left and the wolf was 

charging at him and King. Jason quickly fired but 

missed. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly King 

jumped right in front of Jason to defend him from the 

wolf.

    King was strong but not strong enough. the 

wolf got a big hit on King. King went flying 

through the air and hit a tree. The wolf started 

walking towards King. Jason had no time to 

save King. His only choices were staying and 

dying with King   or Running away towards 

Dawson. He had to go but he just couldn't 

leave King. He did anyway and made it back to 

Dawson safely.  

    The day after that, Jason went back into the 

woods with a fully loaded rifle, but only to find 

Kings body on the ground with blood 

everywhere. Jason dropped to his knees and 

started sobbing, he wasn't only sad that King 

was dead, but also sad that he had left him 

there. Although Jason didn't really have a 

choice, he didn't want to die.

    Jason wanted to get back to the hotel, but 

he wasn't aloud in there. So, he told his 

brothers that he couldn't get in and Ethan and 

Abe went in the hotel and asked Kid Barker 

why he would not let Jason in, Kid Barker had 

told them that back in Skagway, Jason had 

stolen from him. Abe was dumbfounded, as 

was Ethan. They didn't believe Kid Barker.

    Abe explained to Barker that Jason would 

never steal, Abe and Ethan knew that Kid 

Barker was lying. They just knew, even 

without proof of anything. A few days later, 

Abe, Jason and Ethan went back into the hotel 

explaining why they didn't believe Kid Barker. 

So, Kid Barker called in his henchmen and they 

pulled Abe and Ethan away into a room.
