Chapter Nineteen

CJ sat on top of the house and watched the driveway for any sign of his uncle. He knew the trip might take the whole day or maybe more, but he wanted to know exactly when they got back. He wanted to see them pull back in. He wanted them all here, in one place.

The day at the cabin had passed by slowly with no excitement whatsoever. His grandparents and aunt were taking naps, and his parents had gone off for a walk in the woods. Judging by his Dad’s giddiness, CJ assumed that they were going to do more than “walk.”

He couldn’t help but smile.

His mother had come a long way since they first arrived here at the cabin. She no longer sulked around and kept to herself, but helped out with chores around the house. She began smiling again. The day before, she pulled CJ aside and apologized for “not being a good mom lately.” He gave her a big hug and she cried for a little bit.

Earlier, she had come into the living room and suggested to CJ’s dad that the two of them should go for a walk. At first, he resisted, but when his father realized she didn’t really want to “walk,” he quickly changed his mind.

Things feel normal again, He thought.

He was starting to think that they never would, but over the past few days, things began to look brighter. With his cousin on the way, everyone on a whole seemed to be working on making that happen. With this last trip, the family should be ready for a baby.

A baby, he thought. How crazy…

Two figures appeared on the edge of the driveway near the woods.

Where’s the truck? Oh no…

He quickly raised the scope on his rifle.

It wasn’t them.

It was a man and a woman CJ had never seen before. They were dressed in ratty-looking clothes and walked with an uneven stride, but CJ could tell, even from a distance, that the couple was not dead. The man was dressed in a long, dark coat and jeans worn around the knees. The woman wore a dress and an oversized dress coat hung against her tiny frame. In the man’s hand was a white piece of cloth, or t-shirt, and as they walked closer to the house, he began to wave it in the air.

CJ kept the rifle trained on the man.

“Heyyy there, little feller,” the man said. “We don’t mean no harm! See?”

The man waved the white fabric in the air vigorously and smiled.

CJ left the rifle pointed at the man, but lifted his eye from behind the scope.

“You both are trespassing on our property. I suggest you leave,” CJ said, his voice stern.

The man’s grin wavered for a split second, but the smirk just as quickly returned.

“Now look at this, Virginia. Little man here is protectin’ the homestead.”

CJ did not appreciate the tone in the man’s voice.

“Look boy,” the man said. “We’re just lookin’ for a lil’ food. That’s all. We’re about a day’s journey from where we’re headed and well, we need a lil’ sumthin-sumthin for the road.
