driving.

“Dang! We need to stop him!” said Josh.

“But how?”

“Steven, get two horses. I'll handle the rest.”

A few minutes later, Bob was riding down the road, certain he had gotten away. Then he looked back over his shoulder and saw Sue and the Nanotyrannus chasing him. He also saw Steven and Josh riding after him on horseback. They looked like they weren't scared at all.

“They must be fearless!” thought Bob.

“Get me off of here!” cried Steven.

“We're gonna die!” wailed Josh.

“I'm never riding a horse as long as I live!”

“Mommy! Mommy! MOMMMMYY!”

On the other hand, Jedidiah and Octavius were having the time of their life. They were sitting inside the remote control car, and had the controller inside. Sue's bone was still tied to the car, and she and the Nanotyrannus were pursuing it devotedly.

“Wheeeee-ha! This is great!” screamed Jedidiah. He was in the driver's seat, and he was driving the car right behind the stagecoach. Their job was to try to get Sue and the Nanotyrannus to attack the stagecoach, and they were doing a marvelous job so far. Until the turn came. Bob took the stagecoach around a tight turn, almost making the coach flip over. When Jedidiah and Octavius also took the turn, they went into an uncontrollable spin. Eventually they hit a snow drift and accidentally ramped up it, then crashed down on the ground hard. The entire car went into flames.

Josh and Steven both saw this. Now it was up to them to stop Bob. They pulled up right beside the coach and Steven shouted “Pull the stagecoach over now!”

“No can do son!” Bob said “These horses were money-carriers! They were trained to only stop for a certain secret password!”

“Oh,” said Josh “You mean a word like 'Dakota?'”

The horses immediately stopped, so suddenly that Bob was hurled from the coach.

“I read up on my history.” said Josh “Thanks for the tip.”

At that point they noticed the sun was coming up.

“Oh no, we need to get everyone inside! Now!”

As quickly as they could, they tried to get everyone in. Fortunately, they did it just in time.

“Okay!” said Balto “It looks like we did it!”

“Yeah, well,” said Josh “We lost two good little men out there tonight.”

“With great victory comes great sacrifice.”

They were about to walk back inside when they heard something. They looked behind and saw two tiny figures walking through the snow towards them. Jedidiah and Octavius had survived. They were covered with soot and parts of their clothes were scorched and burned.

“Y' ain't gonna get rid o' us that easy.” said Jedidiah.

Steven and Josh surveyed the museum. Trash was everywhere, things were destroyed. It looked there had been a battle there. Probably because there had.

“Well, looks like we're gonna get fired.” Josh said.

“Yep. No way we can weasel our way outta this one.”

True enough to their words, come morning, their boss took a look at the place, and was obviously displeased.

“Come into my office.” was all he said to them.

When they got in, he turned on the TV. He flipped to a news channel where they were talking about tyrannosaurus tracks in the new-fallen snow. Their boss flipped to another news channel. There was a story about sightings of a caveman on top of the museum. He flipped to three more, all showing the same things. Finally, he turned it off and said to them “Any explanation?”

Josh looked at Steven, and Steven looked at Josh.

“Nope.” they both replied.

“Good.” said their boss “I'll take your flashlight and keys Steven, and Josh, you can return your supplies to the cleaning department.”

The three of them walked out of the office, and as they walked into the lobby, they saw swarms of people.

“Wow.” said Josh “They all must've seen what's on TV.”

They were amazed. Never in the history of the museum had there been so many people there. Their boss turned to Steven and handed him his flashlight and keys back.

“You can stay.” he said.

The End
