The boys started to search for Lennie, all around the ranch. It was trouble finding him because he was hiding and they had no idea where! They had checked everywhere, but Curley wasn't giving up. He said, "I have lost way to much and i don't deserve this. It's not fair, and I am not going to take it anymore." With that, he was gone. He continued to search.
George was scared. He didn't know what was going to happen. Obviously, he wasn't going to kill Lennie, but what could he do? He asked Crooks, "How do i do this? I can't kill Lennie. He's like my little brother. He wouldn't let them kill me. I have to stop them." Crooks said, "there isn't much you can do, except find Lennie before Curley does. "But if we searched the whole ranch, and couldn't find him....how do you expect us to find him now?", said George. "Is there anywhere were the fella may hidin?.. think George, think!", said Crooks. Immediately, George remembered where we told Lennie to hide whenever he was in trouble. He instantly had a flashback; "hide till i come for you. Don't let nobody see you. Hide in the brush over by the river. Say that over."; he knew where Lennie was hiding. "I have to get to him before Curley does", said George. He kept repeating this over and over. Crooks was very confused. George said "stay here, i will be back in an hour. Don't move!"
With that, George busted out the door of the barn. He ran over to where he knew Lennie was hiding. it wasn't even something that he was unsure of, he knew Lennie had listened to him and was hiding in the brush. Well for now, that's the only place he could think of. But he was doubting himself as he knew Lennie was there! He ran over to the brush down by the river and saw Lennie hiding in it. He also heard the voices of Curley and the other people in that clan. George whispered as high as he could, "LENNIE!!". Lennie, scared as a little kid, turned to see George running over to him. "Oh George, I am so sorry. I had no idea. I didn't mean to... And the only place i could think of to hide was here. I ran here as fast as I could. Oh i am so sorry George, I am so -- Lennie began to cry. "Lennie, I am so glad I found you before those men did. Don't worry Lennie, it's not your fault. It's all going to be okay, its all going to be okay, said George". George put his arm around Lennie and started soothing him and making him feel better. Lennie said, "thanks George. I always knew you were a great friend." "I'll always be here for you, and I won't let anyone hurt you Lennie", said George.
The men started to near, but they neared away from the brush. They had no idea and didn't even think to look in the brush by the river. Lennie and George got up and went back to the barn to get Crooks. The three of them headed back into town. With that, they were out of the ranch. The dream of them tending rabbits on a farm was going to happen, just not at that point. It seemed to be the most important thing was that they had each other as well as their friendship was everlasting. They had each other and that was all that mattered as they accepted each other for they were.
