CHAPTER 25 – Angels and bad boys

Hanna apologized for how rundown the motorhome was, but Merle and Earl told her that it was better than most of the places they had stayed at over the years.

That started a conversation about traveling, and the boys discovered that the girls were as well traveled as they were.

“Oh yeah, we’ve been all over the country. See, Savannah and me are singers and musicians, well, we were, but we got tired of the road and came home to settle down. We grew up right down the road in Kellyville.”

“Let’s hear you sing,” Earl said.

The girls looked bashful for a moment, but then began singing a familiar country song. They had good voices, and Merle and Earl were enraptured.

“You two should be on stage at the Grand Ole Opry.”

Hanna giggled.

“Oh Merle, you’re so easy to please.”

The four of them looked at each other silently, and then Hanna pointed back towards the house.

“It’s gettin’ late; we’ll see you boys in the mornin’,”

Savannah leaned over and kissed Earl on the cheek.

“Sweet dreams.”

“You too, Miss Cole.”

When the girls were gone, Earl turned to look at his brother.

“I think I’m fallin’ in love.”

“I don’t blame you, and let me tell ya, I like that Hanna too.”

“Merle, we have to think of some way to help them. I don’t mean give them the house, but we can’t send ‘em packin’ either.”

“Yeah, let me sleep on it.”

The boys lay down for the night, but were too excited to fall asleep right away.

“Merle, you awake?”

“Yeah,”

“They sang like angels, didn’t they?”

“Better,” Merle said.

In Tennessee, Susan’s other guest turned out to be Amy, the cop who had pulled Sammy over.

She was surprised to see Sammy, but also looked pleased.

Over dinner, they told the story of how they met, as Tanner and Sammy pretended to be strangers.

Tanner showed interest in her story about the drug dealing bikers, and when he asked her what Calabrese looked like, the description fit Bobby Volks.

“Calabrese sounds Italian,” Tanner remarked, and Susan shook her head.

“He has a slight accent, but it’s not Italian; I’d say it’s more Slavic.”

“I thought that meth would be a big city problem,” Sammy said. “How long has this been going on?”

“The meth dealing is new,” Amy said. “But the chief says that Calabrese has been a problem for years. He owns The Iron Horse; it’s a bar on the west end of town that used to be a small warehouse. Those bikers have taken the place over.”

“Calabrese wants my pub too,” Susan said. “He made me an offer just last week, but it wasn’t even half what the business is worth.”

After dinner, Sammy went out on the front porch to call Sophia while Amy went to see her boyfriend, and Tanner joined Susan in the kitchen for coffee.

“What sort of work do you do, Tom?”

“I’m a freelance researcher.”

Susan laughed.

“What’s so funny?”

“I had you pegged as a Federal Agent working undercover.”

“If I was, a researcher would be a good cover.”

“No fair, now I don’t know what to think.
