    So Shirley you dont trust him. That is good enuff for me. Heard of a citizen's arrest y'all. Either that which may get messy or you offer him a small amount of the money to keep him honest.

    We can't arrest him. He hasn't broken any law. Offering him money will only make him want more. Let's just tie him loosely to a tree. He can get loose soon and that will give us time to get away from him. What do y'all say?

    Sounds the most practical solution. Agree Louise and Terence?

    He knows more I reckon.

    Thanks for the compliment Craig. Surprise is vital to small scale tactics. It was easy for me to jump him and you to take his shotgun. A rifle up one nostril is very persausive.

    Whatever, but a tied up man is subject to many dangers like Wolves, Mountain Lions and Bears, and other carnivores like the big rats around here. Maybe that's why he had the shotgun? I reckon we take his shotgun n give him a promisary note to return it when we're safe from his stalking of us, or maybe him join us? I favour a peaceful resolution. Whatever? Negotiate even. Talk more I say. Let him keep his knife at least, n essentals like his vittles, blanket n fire lighting gear. You're the boss Shirley. I can even do do some easy but long knots to undo, even using his own rope. LoL. Terence's terrible knot. I make it up as I do it.

    My old Sheriff Wyatt used to confiscate guns, and few reclaimed their weapons being the felons they obviously were. Not sure as I'm no longer a Deputy if I can legally do that no more, I think? Reckon I should anyway until he talks some more. My old civil war sword needs sharpening too.
    I hate thieves. The laws are too slack I reckon. Your call Shirley.
    OK Craig. I agree as Shirley does even after all my spiel n chatter.

    Oh, stink! I forgot about predators. We can't leave Ernie tied to a tree. Like @Louise Miller said, he's not the brightest bulb in the lamp.

    So maybe we should let him keep his knife for self defense. We'll tell him that if he harms us the Fibergety will get him. That should keep him in line.

    Should we take him along with us? We can tell him that we are going on a great adventure and that he might get some money at the end.

    Terence I too am with Shirley on her idea of tying him loosely to a tree. Make it so we can get a good two even three hours lead on him. Just hope he is not visited by a bear before he escapes.

    No, Craig! He isn't smart enough to get himself free. A bear will surely eat him before he frees himself.

    Louise you shock me. I think he plays dumb to fool us. Also how do we know he is working alone. The sooner we separate ourselves from him the better

    Then is there any place where he is safe from hungry bears and lions while we get at least a two hour lead on him.

    We could take him with us Shirley.
    I could semi hobble his feet and tight tie his hands, and put him on a rope. Want to carry his shotgun Louise. Ride my dumb mule Bruce with Ernie roped to it, and guard him? Get him talking. Offer him some of this whiskey, and have yourself some if you fancy. We'll be listening.
    Shirley, that's my best thought.

    Wanna search him Craig. Diaries, maps, letters, money. You read good. I'll guard and keep watch, or threaten him if you give me the nod.
    Bottle of whisky will make him talk more tonight.
    Your call Shirley but I can't leave him vulnerable.

    OK. I suspect he has a clue as to where the money tree is located. Craig, you search him. Then act like you want to be his friend. Ply him with Terence's whiskey. Ask him if he has ever heard of the Jadaculla Rock. If he says he has, we can take him with us. He might be able to help us locate it. If he hasn't, we'll take him back to Uncle Eddie's cabin, after we let him use the outhouse. :) We will tie him loosely to a chair. He'll be safe from critters and can get himself free in a hour or so. By then, we will be long gone.

    Terence that is kidnapping my friend. I did not mention going all the way back to the cabin.. but I guess we have no choice. Nothing on his person that may incriminate him and he swears he knows nothing of the Jadaculla Rock Shirley.
