At 4 o clock they get off the school bus and make their way to the shed. Jackson cracks the safe and they both take out a gun. Together they march to the field behind their house.

They aim down the field at the targets they set up. Tyrel didn't think that Jacksons gun was loaded right so he tried to help.

Tyrel picked up his brother, who was much bigger than him, and slowly carried him to their house. This seemed to take an eternity .
