Chapter 5

Caleb was looking over the paperwork on his land purchases when someone started pounding on the door. Calling for Arthur after looking in the security camera, the two of them went to the door and opened it.

“May I help you?” The man tried to barge his way in, but Caleb wasn’t having any of it. “If you want to come in here, you’re going to have to explain to me why you tried your best to break down my front door. I just bought this house, and I’d like to be able to live here for a while before—”

“Where do you get off buying this house? Or, for that matter, all the damned land around town? I’m in charge of that shit, and you’ll just have them take your name off the paperwork right fucking now. Or else.” Caleb looked at his watch and told the realtor that it was a little early in the morning to be making threats. “Are you serious? I don’t threaten people, kid. I make promises, and I’m going to make you turn over that property to me right now, or I’m going to take you to court. See if I don’t.”

“You won’t.” The man, Dick Douglas—a more ridiculous name than he’d ever heard—asked him what he was talking about. “You. You said you were going to take me to court, and that isn’t going to happen. What I did was purchase land for the asking price that was for sale by your company. I didn’t even haggle, even though I think I could have gotten them much cheaper than they were priced. However, I think that had more to do with you wanting to purchase them at a lower price than me getting a good deal. All the paperwork has been filed. Legally, I might add. And my name is filed on all the deeds now. I would have thought that your buddy, Slam-dunk, would have told you about it. I must ask, why do they call him that? Slam-dunk implies that he might well have played basketball, but I think he’s much too short—”

“What the hell are you going on about? Christ. Quit emptying your head and tell me when you’re going to do as I want.” Caleb said again that he wasn’t going to do any such thing. “You don’t know what you’re doing, kid.”

“Caleb Anderson.” He looked confused again. “My name. Instead of kid, I thought you’d call me by my name.” The man looked like his head was going to explode. That encouraged Caleb to be more creative in pissing the man off. “Of course, you could continue to call me kid if you’re in the mood. It’s doubtful that anyone else would think of me as a child. But you go right on ahead and—”

The gun came out of the back of the man’s pants. When it was pointed at him, Caleb didn’t move. Nor did he allow his fear to show through. Arthur said he’d call the police just as Tabby pulled into the drive.
