Patrick Bontrager, part owner of Bontrager farms , his Braudaar Paul the other owner , currently setting in jail , his innocence being proven at this time by Freedman his lawyer and Windell law enforcement officer of Shining Star AmishMennonite Village. 
      From what he'd heard today his lawyer and law officer believe him fully. Inside his heart Patrick certain of Paul's innocence. The best part is someone cares earnestly to help him out for a fee expensive yet worth every penny to show his innocence and get him out of jail and his cattle back. No one sells cattle as fine like his. You must see to truly believe the cattle not groomed like his .
    Priscilla Hershberger, Patrick's steady girlfriend as of late , pretty blonde hair , big blue eyes , light complexion skin, tall and lean. A sense of humor all her own, belonged to a family of twelve gut old Big Amish family. She meant well by telling her Schwester Sarah she'd not make it shopping today Saturday. " You promised Priscilla, oh alright then, Pepa will go then,"the other schwester of theirs.
    No today Patrick her boyfriend needed her on the farm as support because terrible things have come down about his Braudaar Paul.
        A light shower on the onset of early morning day , makes for splendidly refreshing . Smells of dewy grass, familiar to ones senses waking up to Spring. A splendid smell for sure. Familiar to one's tastebuds, blueberries, wild grown strawberries, plummeted all around them.
     Stopping to pick a few is Priscilla, putting them in a leather-handled wicker basket. Lay them gently on a nice bed of napkins, as them not to break. She took a wild handful of grapes, wiping them on her skirt and cleaning them off. Taking some off to pop in my mouth. Yummy gut to eat.
     I put the basket on my arm and walked up to his farmstead. Knocked, Patrick came to let her in. " Hi my sweet," They hugged, and she handed her basket on ahead of herself. I picked out of your field, even taste-testing them so gut."
    " Please sit at our kitchen table, so she did, gulping the cold cherry juice Patrick set out for her to drink. It was certainly the most delicious, she'd tasted ever telling him so.
Before long he'd made a cheese tray cubed cheeses of all kinds of flavored assortments, nut meats, horse radish from his garden last year, to spread over wheat sliced bread, white cheese slices to go on top, and sliced beef. Black kaffi, or ice water.
    He set and joined her,"
The food is excellent Thank you so much, Patrick ." " Indeed," He said " Your great company. I missed you so much, especially through these difficult days of Paul's stay on in jail till his trial. I'm sorry I can't talk about it in case it gets back to the ones who took his cattle.
I hope you understand Priscilla.
     " Yes, I sure do, Remember you need anything let me know I mean it always." " Danke, Priscilla," he said. Slicing pie for two Apple pies. He leaned over to hand her one. " Oh yum Danke."
"Each tasty bite , yum, yum, the best pie ever", Priscilla said using her big smile.
" Zah, tis The pie of the day from Amish Town Bakery . I bought six , two apple, one peach , Lemon , and cherry , pear, my favorite bakery."
" Ya know I believe it to be mine , Danke for the pie." Inside her heart , feeling so happy to be here sitting next to Patrick , eating pie. He is one of my special gifts from our lord.
Patrick looked back at her, feeling such overwhelming love for her. He must tell her only when the time is right. Looking across at her made his heart pound with such love. This Mennonite lady caught his heart. A love, devotion, appreciation, affection, to dwell along next to your side is where I shall stay affectionate and well received. As long as she is by my side I shall be.
    Paul called tonight from the jail, somewhat of a heavy heart yet something uplifted him, he will write a letter to Patrick. He made a alphabetic key to write secret codes to which Patrick has at home in our family bible, a rice paper letter upon it the clue card.
    A small note contained letter information on how to read it appropriately. His phone conversation soon lifted a bit he seemed in greater spirits. Tonight much seemed to dwell on his beasts, how he missed them and mentioned each kind.
     After saying God night, Patrick wrote some letters of the alphabet down, To each letter a clue he left to have him check write it out, and find if necessary remember it. For this man accused him of a terrible lie, having such power to hurt someone meant the fate of life to live. Except, the law when investigating using a lawyer and Windell Deputy Sheriff. They have found substantial evidence to free him. This must be kept secret for the time being.
     Priscilla, gone he drove her home tonight in his horse and buggy. Home alone at this hour of the night. Pondering over his Bible and his note hidden inside the back flap. All his doors locked, shades drawn he pulled his Bible out at his desk in his bedroom upstairs.
     Taking the newest letter wrote down letters standing out in deeper blue ink. It reads A, reason to believe to be dealing with professional crooks. Please be careful and make sure to leave the guard dogs out and the electric fence.
     Also, quickens up hours on farm hands to keep watch later at night, and extra pay. Last yet no least have Shep Troyer move in for a while a trustworthy soul who can keep secrets. Let him no right away, love much. Paul.
       The next hour Shep arrived, he was his braudaars farm hand. And could come over readily to help out. True friends grow while you are sleeping unaware of it. While not realizing
How connected you have become. Author Annoymus.
To those it may concern, too know somebody plucked out of life's graces at such a dumbfounded time. Outa the clear blue sky, a rip of artist stealing Cattle greater than his the thief that does breath a terrible cynicism brought to dwell a spell.
Something never brought here yet, to destroy a gift of happiness yet. Greed of old a devil spot on the eye of a cosmic moon it turned the worst purple-blue. Over the thief's farm, it did hang. The stench of something odd and evil did come to claim in the depths of dishonesty, came to claim.
The worst Phantom to enter in acknowledgment, to drag a plague along to stay. May your old ways outweigh the deep soul
Turned into a moon foretold to grieve because of a lie to fulfill a deed to sell thy soul into money a never-ending kind to you'd never been
Led, the life of not wanting a thing has coincided into thine.
They have stepped to use another man's Cattle to claim as his own. The worst kind of lie to ever do, for God we trust will not trust you.
Before we knew of it, Shep and myself, sat in private venting and deciding the next step to take. While some Man is stealing right out in daylight, a blueprint shall be made for the day.
Steps were heard on the porch, Deek came running a big Dog gray furry critter. " That be no walnut dropped onto the wood porch. Patrick and Shep lifted stun guns to creep out to see what they had.
The stillness of the night stopped dead still, backs against the wall they walked trying to find a thug. Deek chased him off, as he jumped the fence. Patrick called the Sheriff he sent a squad car out to take a description by the name of Almanzo Yoder. Familiar to the case at hand everything going on. Finally Almanzo left , if the man still around window peeping he'd see a Sheriff car about the place. For there it would keep common ground of justice for all that dwell there.
     Finally, they bathed and went to bed, sound asleep, waiting for a miracle to tell the truth before all was stolen. Right from underneath them. Prayers have been said to give the cattle back.
Just right before noon, something to stop cattle rustling, two ways to get into Pauls's farmstead from the east side of the farm or west side, each hand Solid door and tunnel made by contractors. It is impossible to get in, the tunnel a forever detailed to never wear out actually.
They decided to name the underground tunnels Rustic Ridge. Planting terrains around it means greenery. Some pretty bluebells, honeysuckle. Wild vines it looked rustic like a ridge. Excitement filled the air. Security knowing we all thought a conclusion was being added we felt secure in now.
     Day after the window peeker , things in havocked , foot prints found going from the cattle distillery to our farmstead. All whom heard the news felt shaken , it's hard to explain
Yet when your privacy's shaken by a window peeker it becomes reality check then.
      For they broke in to our cattle refinery, they looked in the farmstead windows as if they should be catered to by influencers we know nothing about. Although we have a gut idea who it may be, aren't friends. Rather thieves , bold ones at that. Knowing we have a Patton on our beasts and the family crest brand on the hip.
     Lawyer Freedman arrived on the spot ready to work. He found all this very distressing. Possibly ready to steal again. He made a private meeting using Sheriff Windell to meet out at the farmstead immediately.
      As promised he kept his word pronto, there getting a meeting up and going. Lawyer Freedman spoke first ," There seems to be a severity to lock down our community from thievery , and obscurity of justice in the judicial system. Last night some one on foot ah we be believe to be one on foot. Awful as it may seem , I guess it's confused everyone's side of the law, to own cattle means they belong to you and only you. Papered to show proof, and when someone deliberately insists on either steel out right from you . Then lie to cover it up , is it a mutual agreement then under oath to say your binding yourself to preventative measures then to seek out our judicial system for help. To give them back to order up it down taken back."
     Deputy Sheriff Windell has something for us to field out it is against the law and punishable up to 25 years in prison. I believe these people to be professionals at it. They feel they can. And will do what ever possible to side step the law. I'm telling you I'm all my years of being in law enforcement never seen anything close to this before. A ring of thieves Englishes running the thing.  As far as  I know their is action on going surveillance being pursued going on at this time. We are managing to settle in to weather this storm using confidence it will be reigned in by responsible undercover work by professionals."
    " So far as I know Paul has been released from the county jail without bond for he has been found not guilty as charged." Everyone here cheered in the joy he was found not guilty.
" The verdict in his case Paul has been released without bond. I believe he just walked in, Let's give him a warm round of applause." He received a standing ovation.
   Paul," Justice has been served here today. I am worn out yet treated well while serving my time in jail before trial. Thank God for my release and gut law enforcement undercover work as excellent to have found out in time to save me."
   Lawyer Freedman," Any information leading to names of the thieves evolved in this case I hope to capture the ones who have taken my cattle. A big Thank you is given to you.
