BG Hide and Go Seek
This town is a mess
Where everyone is
Is anyone's guess?
Bella came back
From her outing though
Looking refreshed.
Buck is missing
And Petra too,
Never came back
from the Orders lands
Wondering if they were
Attacked by Ewell's band.
Like Simon tried
With Myna's lot
Which ended up with
Uncle Bubba shot.
Bella said, Jacob
hasn't come to work today.
"Not like him,"
Said Bella Fray.
I took a chance to see
What Brandy or Bruce knew
They weren't in Tent City
Both of them are gone too.
People are missing
At an alarming rate.
Has me in
an agitated state.
I get onboard the Liberty Belle
Just a skeleton crew
With nothing to tell.
Now I'm not sure what to do,
So I thought I'd
talk with Rue.
In her office, she was found
Working on papers
With her head down.
"Rue?
May I talk to you?"
Rue said, "Sure."
And I passed on through her door.
I went through the litany
Of what I found.
Rue patiently listened
Her face frowned.
"I will tell you all I know
but from there
I'm not sure where to go."
"Josie was taken by some men
Jake, Jujube, and I got her back again.
There was talk about it involving
Brandy Vine
Someone looking for payback
Across, Crusted County Line."
"If Buck was taken
I may be due to Bruce.
A case of mistaken identity
Would be what I'd deduce."
"If Petra went missing
You best believe
Denver's hot on her trail
and at great speed."
"Jake still has not returned
I have to admit I'm more than
A little concerned."
"But since this deal is
Beyond county lines.
I'm not sure there's anything
You or the other can do this time."
Well, I got my answers...
Guess now we just need to
Hope and pray.
They all come home safely
Without delay.
