Chapter 5

Gibb had been asked to come into the forestry office today. He’d given his notice some time ago and had worked it out. But today, first thing after entering the greenhouse, he’d been asked to come to the office. He didn’t know what it was, but he did have assurances from Belle that things were just fine.

He’d come to depend on his little family for a lot of things. Not once had he asked them for information. It felt like he was pushing boundaries that he didn’t think he should if he’d done that. But they would come to him a couple of times a week and tell him this or that. Like general information that they thought that he should know. Like after breakfast today.

“Dad, when you get a call from someone by the name of Agent Blackstone, don’t freak out.” He said that he was the retired regional manager for this area of the forest department. “Yeah, that’s who I think he is. He isn’t going to hurt you or anything. There are just a few questions that he has. I don’t know what about, but it’ll be all right.”

The other day, it had been Maria who had told her mom that she needed to go to the shop today. That there was someone there that needed her help. Turned out to be just fine, just as she said it would, and they had a new vendor for tea. A mountain man had asked if he could put his flower teas in the store to sell. Gibb had been happy about that. It meant that they could take what little hadn’t sold of Granny’s tea home with them and treasure it.

It was Belle, too, who said she knew what was needed to continue making the tea that everyone liked, which herb or flower, as well as how much was put in. Gibb couldn’t have been happier if she’d told him that she knew the secret to the meaning of life. He’d not asked her if she did actually know the meaning. Frankly, he was slightly afraid that they might well know the answer.

“Agent Cross? My name is Agent Blackstone.” He shook the man’s hand and felt a little bit of something that didn’t seem right. He wasn’t nervous, but he wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do with the feeling. “I’ve come here on a special mission from my boss. He wants me to talk to you about heading up a Search and Rescue team for the mountains. Not just your mountain but all the national parks. I know that we have quite a few people who go missing yearly, from all of them annually that usually turn up. However, he wants this to be something that he can call on for everywhere someone might have taken a wrong turn and ended up someplace they might not know how to get back from. He wanted to see if, with you and your families’ help, we could lower that number.
