Chapter 30

Bruce woke up sweating wondering who turned the heater on. Then Bruce felt something on his chest. Looking down he saw Angela and Debbie lying on his chest and Stephanie burrowed under his left side. Bruce gently rolled them off and climbed out of bed. Looking at the clock reading 0412 Bruce gave up on going back to sleep. Grabbing his gear, notebooks, laptop and workout clothes he headed to the gym.

After he worked out, Bruce went to the hall to wait on breakfast. Walking in, Bruce saw the family table had doubled in size. There where fifteen chairs on each side and one at each end. Looking at his end, Bruce noted the corners were extended out and rounded off. ‘The twins are so going to love that’ Bruce thought. Walking over, Bruce ran his hand over the middle section. It was lighter than the rest of the table but was a perfect blend of wood. If this is what Paul considered fast and sloppy Bruce was a shitty carpenter.

Next to the table were two high chairs. Looking at the new chairs, Bruce noted several with booster seats. ‘That man goes way overboard’ Bruce thought as he sat his gear down, stripped out of his workout clothes put on his ACU’s, checked his camera on his boonie had and put on his boots. Grabbing his vest, Bruce thought it felt heavy. Damn going to have to work out hard for the next couple of weeks Bruce promised himself. Picking up his notebooks and laptop Bruce sat up to get some work done.

Millie came over carrying the biggest coffee cup Bruce had ever seen. It held an easy eight cups of coffee. When she sat it down Bruce turned it around and saw the word BOSS written on the side.

“A bit ostentatious don’t you think?” Bruce asked her.

“No,” Millie said, “I asked ‘em if they saw a big mug to pick it up fer me so I could give it to ya. I painted that on the side fer ya. Just so people knows who’s in charge.”

“Thank you Millie,” Bruce told her, “but maybe I’m getting tired of being in charge Millie.”

Millie sat down at the table with him. “Bruce, you haveta stay in charge. We’re rebuilding America, rights here and now, the ways it’s supposed ta be, only better. You demand the same from everyone not caring about race or sex. Too many people countin’ on ya and no one else can do it. We’re gonna accomplish sumethin’ here, I can feel it. You could just stay here and we could survive but you’re going out into the wilderness and bringing in tha lost.”

“I have to keep going out in the wilderness because I keep finding more lost,” Bruce said taking a sip.

“Bruce quit actin’ like a sissy girl,” Millie said.

“Millie I’m getting tired. There’s so much more to do and I’m feeling wore down to the bone,” Bruce admitted to her.

“I knows Bruce, several of us sees it.
