My Love
Trail worked and he worked hard. So hard in fact that sweat formed on his brow and ran off dripping on the ground. It was the first job of the day and while he was nearly done, he’d told Twila to eat without him. Once he was done here, he had another job nearby to do.
He was good, Tyne trained them to be the best. No time was wasted as he ran the lines, put in cameras, hooked up the alarm and then once everything was done, he quickly went over it all with the owners or whoever they assigned to be responsible. Right now that was a fifteen year old kid. Really? The kid was smart enough, but he didn’t seem responsible enough and barely paid attention. Joe was the name he’d given Trail and Joe wanted back to his games.
Poor Twila would be the one they’d call when Joe made a mess of setting the alarm codes or telling them how it worked. There was nothing Trail could do now so he packed up and went to his next job. A granola bar helped keep the beast of hunger at bay for a little while. He knew their backlog of customers was too long and the wait was more than most would stand for. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, they just had more to do than they could get done.
Who could have foreseen the demand for home security in this area? He certainly hadn’t and while Tyne had been hopeful, this had gone beyond all his expectations. Until the list was caught up, his free time would be extremely limited. If Twila had been trained for field work, she’d probably be out here with him. Trail found he liked that idea.
This house was smaller than most and only had four windows and two doors. Easy peasy as Moe would say. The lady of the house listened intently as he went through the explanation and wrote down everything important. She’d be fine. He packed up in a few minutes and was gone.
The last job of the day was the remotest which was saying something. He pulled up to the house, but this had to be the wrong address. The house, or hut would be more correct, didn’t look like anyone had lived here for years. It was small, one large room that the family would share and the bathroom would be the great outdoors.
There was a temptation to just drive on and forget about it. Instead he did the right thing and got out with some misgivings. With the current threat over their heads, this location was suspicious. It didn’t stop him from getting out, but he looked around cautiously as he made his way to the hut. The closer he got, the more obvious it was that no one lived there. The smell of decay also hit him and it was an odor he recognized.
Once he was at the door, he pulled it open and he felt as if he’d been kicked in the gut.
