Chapter 12 – Free Day...or Not

Friday Morning, August 15th, 2014

Beth was still on cloud nine after selling Hunter to Rod an Alicia for $2.45 a pound. She got up from her bunk in the camper and went to the barn to join Cole and take care of the calves with no prompting at all. Meanwhile, mom, Kris and I were grilling up sausage and eggs for breakfast sandwiches.

Dana came out of the camper and was startled to see me still in the area. “What are you doing here?”

“Good morning to you too!”

“I mean...I didn’t mean...”

I laughed. “Babe, it’s okay. I’m going to in a little late today and just for a couple of hours. After that, I’ll be back by here to pick you up.”

“Why?” She peered at me through narrowed eyes.

“Don’t be so suspicious!” I chuckled back at her. “Larry and Sharon rolled by here a little bit ago. You and I are going to have a little meet up with them and walk through their house later this afternoon. Since the sale is over, they decided to go ahead and pull out this morning.”

“Already?”

Completely frustrated with the total lack of progress in the investigation, I went back to the fairgrounds to get Dana. At least maybe we can make some progress on the personal front...

Dana followed me back to the house in her own car which had mostly sat parked on the grounds and collecting dust for the week. We’d decided that she’d stay at home on Saturday and work on the weeks’ worth of laundry for everyone had accumulated while I went back and helped wrangle the two feeder calves going back to the farm and all of the other various equipment and supplies we had in the barn.

We were in the driveway unloading packed full laundry bags for everyone but mom and dad when Larry came around the side of his house carrying a rake. He leaned it by the porch and hustled over to us.

“Here, let me help you with that Dana.”

“Oh, thanks. I can get some of it.”

I was dumbfounded, “What am I; chopped liver over here?”

“You’re not injured. You don’t need help.” He grinned.

“She’s not your type, you know.”

“Who’s not his type?” Karen had appeared out of nowhere.

“Larry is flirting with Dana.”

“I was just trying to be a gentleman!” We all laughed.

“So,” I said when the
