George"s number?”

“Yes,” Ian said, “and my cell phone number, as well.”

“Ian,” I said, “we"re in kind of a dead pocket down here in this little valley. You probably won"t have much of a signal unless you walk up our driveway to the road. He"ll need to use our landline to call you. Also, we have a cable modem for Internet access.”

“Okay,” Ian said, “George"s landline number it is.”

Frank bade us good night and ended the call. “God,” I said, after I pushed the “off” button, “I hate this bureaucratic bullshit.”

“Be glad you don"t have to work in the Pentagon,” Randy said.

“Yeah,” I said, “I guess when you come down to it, aggravation is relative, isn"t it.”

“I"m gonna go check on Robbie,” Mike said. “Why don"t you take these folks downstairs and show them where the people door is. They"ll need stuff out of their car.”

“Sure,” I said.

“Just a minute,” Paul said. “Dad, we owe George and Mike some money.”

“Excuse me?” Randy said.

“I turned their generator on around dawn, and it ran until what, nearly three? Must have burned up a ton of fuel.”

“Don"t worry about it,” I said. “At least not tonight.”

“George,” Paul said, “the warmth from that motor probably saved our lives, and it just isn"t right that we don"t reimburse you guys.”

Mike came back into the kitchen and said, “Robbie"s out cold. Do you guys have plans for Christmas?”

“Just a quiet Christmas at home,” Ian said, “why?”

“Since you"re already here,” Mike said, “and Christmas is just a couple of days away, why waste one of them on the road? You"re more than welcome to stay here until after Christmas—we"ve got plenty of room, and we love to have company.”

“Yeah,” I said, “Robbie seems quite taken with these guys. I"m expecting him to place an order for an older brother or brothers any day now.”

Ian and Randy looked at each other and shrugged. “Sure, why not?”

Randy said. “We haven"t even bought a tree yet.”

“True,” Ian said, “we were waiting for the boys to get home.”
