One Came Home Chapter 9 Summary

  • Georgie has no choice but to confront the cougar because Long Ears definitely can't run fast enough to get her away from it.
  • She pulls out her Springfield single-shot and promptly drops it in a pile of pigeon poop. So that's unfortunate.
  • She starts throwing everything she can find at the cougar, but the cougar doesn't much care.
  • Finally, it occurs to her to yell for Billy.
  • Before Billy arrives, the cougar decides to calmly walk off. Billy sees it and fires at it, but it's already out of range.
  • All Georgie's stuff is now covered in pigeon poop. She walks around trying to retrieve it, but has a little breakdown (understandable) so Billy gives her a nice, brotherly hug.
