Emily nodded. "I can't wait for the Kentucky Derby. Sam, if Wonder wins, that would be really cool. And Speeding might just have a date with him, whether he wins or not," she said merrily. "You're gonna get a mare, Tor? Could I help pick her out? Maybe I could ask Justin if he'll help birth the foal? If I asked him, he might just do it for free, because he is a vet. And she could stay in our stables, without the fee. I mean, you do work and pretty much live at Edgardale," the girl said to him, somewhat excitedly.

"I do live at Edgardale. In fact I rarely get to Leave Edgardale." He said and pointed to a small detector on his leg. "If I leave I'm dead. Unless they allow me. That's why I'm here, No offense." He said.
Samantha was confused at both what Emily said and what Tor said. "Wonder? Wonder is his mom. Pride is his name or Wonder's Pride. That's why it says WONDER'S Pride. Ashleigh's wonder is his mommy. Isn't that right?" She said as Pride bobbed his head. "Why do you have to wear a detector?"
"No reason," He said narrowing his eyes at her. "We have two more barns to get to remember?"

"That's what I meant. I almost forgot about the legendary Wonders. All children of the original if I think clearly. And, uh... The detector is just a safety procedure, that's all. All our employees wear them...," she lied.

"Really? That sucks, no offense." She said quickly. "Come on lets go to the Training Barn."
(Have Alex go into the training barn and show his friends his horses he trains and Samantha will show Emily and Tor to it and they can get in a fight or something)

Alex was bringing in a small group of friends, showing them a few of the horses he trained. "And this is Warlord. He's one of my horses that I train. Of course, it's not really training to me. It's more like understanding the horse, and getting them to understand you..."
Emily walked in to the next barn, following Tor and Samantha. "Hey, it's that guy again...," she whispered to them.

"Great," She said. "Just ignore him. He's like an itch. He never goes away. Anyway this is my horse Shining. She is all mine But she was neglected and is Wonder's half sister." Pointing to a skinny red roan filly. "And this was personally gave to me to train. This is Mike's Glory Road." She pointed to a big Grey colt. He bobbed his head in greeting and sniffed her pockets. "No big fella I have no treats." She heard footsteps behind her and hoped it wasn't Alex.

"Oh. It's you, once again. Do you enjoy following me everywhere like a duckling follows its mother? You are so annoying," he said, shaking his head. "How come you get the best of everything when you barely do nothing, and I work my butt off and get the short end of the stick? I'm not saying I don't like my job, but I think you know what I'm implying."

"Maybe because I have more experience?" She said. "I might be younger but I've none horses since I was 7. I know how to treat a horse. Not saying you don't." She turned back to horses when she saw tor's expretion. It set a shiver down her spine. "Tor?"
Tor was staring at Alex in a deathly stare. He was ready to leap at him. He had his hands in a ball. "What?" He said through gritted teeth not leaving eye contact.

Emily looked at him frantically. "Tor, please, don't do it. He's not worth it. You don't want him to end up like your father, do you?" she whispered, in a pleading voice.
"Listen, Samantha. My father worked here a heck of a long time, and he taught me everything he knew. He died knowing the job he loved even more than his only son rested in my hands, and don't you dare say I don't have experience. Since the age of ten, I've visited the horses, I've practiced my skills, and I've done my best to get everything perfect under my father's watchful eye. I may have only held 'jobs' at only two other ranches, but at least I knew what I was doing, even at a young age. I quit my own job that I actually liked just to be here, so don't go screwing me off just because you have more 'experience' or what not," his voice blazed fiercely, as he turned away from her angrily. "Forget it, I don't have time for this. I could be doing something more resourceful." Then he walked away, fire in his eyes.

Tor was ready to punch the life out of him he walked outside and punched the wall spooking the horse inside. He walked up to its outside coral that was connected to the horse stall. "Sorry boy." He said.
Samantha stared, then said to Emily, "Ok Spill. I know that the detector isn't on everybody Justin doesn't have one." She said.

"Fine, but you have to keep it a secret. Tor is an ex-convict. He went to jail for almost killing his dad. And they put a detector on him to make sure he doesn't commit any more similar crimes...," she said quietly so Torten wouldn't hear.

Samantha's eyes were huge as moons. "What!" She whispered loudly.

"Don't worry. That was a long time ago. It's not like he'll kill you or your dad like a insane chainsaw wielding maniac. Plus, I think he's getting a lot calmer than he used to be," she told Samantha. "It's nothing to worry about. It's not like he can leave Edgardale without special permission from the authorities."

"But he's here right now isn't he and how long does he have to stay here?" Samantha said.
(Until the After Wedding is over)

Emily looked at Samantha, whispering,"Relax, he's only going to be here until the wedding's over. Which should be after Ashleigh and Mike go off to their honeymoon."
