Chapter 5

A crowd massed around the door to the big house. Even though the new barracks were larger, we still called it that. Next to the original 1880’s ranch house, it was big, a good three thousand sprawling square feet plus the new additions.

Miss Ellie, third generation rancher, the oldest member of the compound at 72

and a council member, waited on the porch to give me a big hug. “Welcome home, son.” She had tears in her eyes. “I can’t tell you how glad I am you’re home safe and sound.” She gave me a last squeeze and let me go.

A gauntlet of well-wishers formed on my way to the door. I hadn’t thought anyone really gave a shit other than my family.

The council used what had been the formal dining room. Kacey set me at the foot. Normally, Mom would sit at the head. It was her house, after all. The table sat eight, so seven council members, leaving an extra chair for whoever the council needed to talk to -- the hot seat, and I had a feeling it would scorch my butt before this was over. Meetings were never in private, limited only by space in the room. I could barely get to my chair through the throng.

Kacey sat to the right of Mom’s chair and in her absence, ran the meetings. “Let’s start at the beginning, when the beasts captured you.”

The Major flew in looking pissed as hell. Her angry glare lit on me and I smiled while giving her the finger. “You have gone too far this time, boy.”

She liked to call me boy, even though she was only ten years older. Did she really think that would intimidate me? It hadn’t in the two and a half years she’d been here.

Fists clinched in anger, she stomped past me for the other end of the table.

Kacey gave the Major an acknowledging nod before turning back to me. “All right, let’s hear it.”
