CHAPTER THIRTEEN

The next morning, Trent began loading his streamlined cab with ammunition, his scope fitted AR-15, six loaded magazines, 12-gauge shotgun and converted tackle-box full of “foster” type slugs. He also put on board extra 9mm and .45 ammunition rounds for his handguns. He always carried his survival knife. This time he added light body armor and night vision goggles binoculars. He looked down at his cowboy boots and smiled. He went back into the house, broke out his military boots, and slipped into them.

As usual, he was hungry so he walked down the hill to the restaurant to see Haylee and get a hearty breakfast. His stool was open at the counter. She smiled glowingly as he sat down.

“Good morning, Trent, let me show you my engagement ring. My boyfriend, fiancé, gave this to me last night. Pretty fancy, huh? “She said proudly, holding out her ring.

“I’d say, do I know this fella?”

“Yes, you do, and he’s the most handsome man in the world!”

“If he looks like that, I’m ’fraid I don’t know ’em, but he’s shor got good taste in rings and women!”

“Too bad you don’t know ’em, ’cause you can’t imagine what you’re missin’. You’re not jealous, are you?”

“No, no, no, I’m happy as a hog in slop for both of ya. Haylee-Girl, ya know I did come in here to eat, don’t ya?”

“Customers, they’re all the same, get me somethin’ to eat, while they ogle my rear end when I put in the order.”

“That sounds purdy good ta me, lookin’, eatin’, and ogle ’n.”

“Oh well, let me put in your order, I can see you’re not interested.”

“I’m interested, just waitin’ to watch you walk back to place my order,” he said with a smile.

“Men, they’re all the same, food and sex!” She exclaimed, head held high, and briskly walked away.

While she was gone, Trent sat there smiling to himself about how fortunate he was to have met the love of his life. When she did return, she began splaying his food over the counter.

“Trenton Willobee, I can’t understand how one human being can eat as much as you do! Look at it! Really! Two biscuits immersed, practically drowned, in sausage gravy, three eggs over easy, four slices of crisp bacon, two slices of wheat toast, not to mention black coffee or the apple pie you’ll order before you’re done. If you ever get married, I can’t imagine how a woman could put up with this!”

“Well, now, Haylee-Girl, since everbody in here now knows what I’m eatin, ya think maybe somebody might wanna help me pay for it?”

“Highly doubt it, ’cause most of my customers don’t wanna go home broke!” She giggled.

“Why you so hard on me? I just might have to tell your boyfriend ’bout this,” he said solemnly with a serious look.

“You can do just that at about five-fifteen this afternoon.”

“I know where to find ’em,” Trent smiled. “Hey woman, mah food’s gittin’ cold after all this here jawbonin’. I gotta git to eatin’.”

“Serves ya right, I’ll see ya later,” Haylee winked.
