Chapter Thirty

From the look on Floyd’s face when he came back, Mikki guessed the conversation had gone well. She was dying to ask him if Dave was going to start pulling his weight around here, but that would have to wait until later. Instead, she just smiled sweetly and announced that lunch was ready.

Dave smiled big and threw open the door to cabin one, yelling inside, “Chow time! Chester! Clean up all this dog crap out here.” Chester tried to protest in his nasal, whining voice, but Dave would have none of it. “I don’t give a shit. Grab that little shovel of yours, scoop up the crap, and bury it someplace away from where we’re eating. Got it?”

Chester did as he was told, but protested all the while. Floyd and Mikki were thrilled beyond words. They looked at each other and gave a silent nod. They would be discussing this after lunch, that was for sure!

They all had a very nice meal, but Mikki avoided corn this time. Dave told Babette and Chester, “You wouldn’t believe all the work these two do to keep this place running around here! It’s amazing. Thanks again for the tour, Floyd.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“So can I use that radio now, Floyd?”

“Sure, you know where it is. It’s already set to Bob’s frequency. He works in the communications room at NCH, so he should pick up the signal.”

“Great, thanks!”

Dave scampered off to the radio room while the rest of his family disappeared back into the cabin and shut the door after very brief expressions of gratitude for lunch. Mikki was a bit disappointed that, once again, no one offered to help with the dishes, but Floyd still had a big grin on his face. They scooped up the dishes and headed into the kitchen.

“Alright, spill it! What happened with Mister Obnoxious out there?”

“Well, I got him to clean up after his dog.”

“Yeah, that’s great for a start. Is he gonna help clean up anything else around here?”

“I don’t know. I don’t think he took the hint that he needs to pitch in and help out.”

“Then why the hell are you all smiley, Floyd?”

“Because I think I sold him on heading out to New California Haven. Well, I didn’t exactly sell him on it, but I got him to call Bob, and I know Bob will sell him on it.”

“Bob? That’s your big idea? Leave it up to Bob? No offense, but Bob couldn’t sell a space heater to an Eskimo! Goddammit, Floyd! I want those people helpin’ or I want them outta here!”

“Relax! He likes Bob. They both get along. When Dave hears firsthand from Bob about the free housing, food, hospitals, and how much he likes it there, Dave’ll load up his family and head out of here in no time.”

“And if he doesn’t?”

“If he doesn’t work, then he doesn’t eat. That simple. No more free meals. When he realizes he actually has to work, he’ll be gone. Trust me.”

“I hope you’re right about this, Floyd.
