The morning after Chuck Larson arrived, Peter took him and Larry out to the road, where they’d done their best to cover up and conceal his go-kart. With the two dirt bikes the Meiers already had, that gave them three small, functioning motor vehicles up at the homestead.

“Too bad we didn’t hold off one more day before completely burying up the driveway,” Larry said, as they tried to figure out how to get the go-kart off the road and onto the property.

“It’s only a few hundred pounds,” Chuck said. “Is there any way we could just carry it up to the garage? Throw Irene or Bill in, and we’d make short work of it.”

“Any foot paths we’ve left in or out are pretty twisted,” Peter said. “We found one approach we could use to get the dirt bikes through without much difficulty, but you’d never be able to drive this up that path. This thing isn’t much use to us if we can’t deploy it quickly, so even if we did get it up to the house, would we be able to get it back out here to the road if we needed it?”

“It sits behind my house most of the time under a tarp,” Chuck said. “What about just leaving it hidden somewhere out here?”

“Did you ride all the way down to your ex’s place looking for us last night?” Larry asked.

“No,” Chuck replied. “Just far enough down that I was sure I overshot your place before I turned around. Oh, but I did turn around at another cut through the tree line.”

Peter pointed down the road. “That soybean field in that bit of flat land right there where the road starts cutting back down the ridge?”

“I think it was soybeans.”

“You and I were just walking down there the other day,” Larry said to Peter. “There’s a decent approach from the house down to the field.”

Peter nodded. “Let’s look and see if there’s a good place to garage this up there. It might be a better way for us to get the dirt bikes onto the road, too.” The route they’d already identified stayed completely on the Meier property, and got them out onto the road closer to town than the original driveway did. He mentally kicked himself for focusing completely on those two factors, and not thinking more expansively about the options he had available.

Chuck motioned to his go-kart. “Well, let’s get this thing fired up and see what we can do.”

Chuck hopped right in and showed the other two how to get the engine started. Larry hopped on the back for the ride down, and Peter jogged after. At the soybean field, it didn’t take long for them to find an old brush pile. Between that and the dull, slightly rusty finish on most of the kart, it was completely invisible from the road. “Getting an old tarp over it still wouldn’t be a bad idea,” Chuck said. “I built it to be pretty durable, but a little protection from the elements would make sure it’ll go when we need it to.
