Chapter Thirteen

MACK

After leaving the cabin, I walked the five minutes into town where I would be meeting the other guys. I'd taken my boot off and I felt like a new man. I'd been practicing without it for a couple weeks now, so it wasn't my first time walking sans boot, but it would be my first full day without it. My leg felt free, light, and a little strange. I was sure I'd forgotten something at the house.

By the time I reached the edge of the resort property, I'd reminded myself five times that the only thing I'd "forgotten" was the walking boot.

I beat the rest of the crew by only four minutes. They'd shown up early for the first day of the job, so that was a good sign. After conferencing a bit about how we would like to proceed, we stood beside the locked gate reviewing our plans with the other two surveyors.

The main entrance to the future resort was going to be between the grocery store and the same urgent care that we'd been at a few days ago. The road would tie directly into Main Street and would be wide enough to bring eighteen wheelers through. The resort owners had bought the small empty lot between the store and urgent care, rather than rely on the easement rights. In doing so, they had already made a statement.

With an easement, they had the legal right to force the grocery store to allow them to drive on their property. Rather than do that, the resort had bought connecting vacant lots to punch the road in. Though I didn't even know who owned the grocery store or the land it sat on, Theo Merrick, the owner of the resort was being careful to not encroach on the locals. Something that I would have explained to Kimber if she had given me a chance.

A gravel drive led to the top of the small hillside where they would be placing the resort. At the bottom of the drive, stood a barrier gate. There was no fence, simply a standalone gate that anyone could walk around, but prevented cars from driving onto the property.

Both my surveyors, CJ and Eric, were unloading their gear from their work truck already. We were off to a good start.

As I was about to unlock the gate, voices reached my ears. One very familiar one in particular. I turned around to see Kimber walking up the road toward us and she held a sign behind her. When she noticed that my eyes were on her, she swung the sign around and held it in front of her. It read in giant handwritten letters: Big Money, No Heart.

A familiar young woman was also walking behind her.

A couple who looked like they were in their fifties who I hadn't met before trailed after them. They each held signs. One had the word "Go" written on it. The other said "Away."

Short and to the point. I could appreciate brevity.

They seemed to be of the same opinion as Kimber about the resort.
