Morrison Cottage, Dyke, Virginia

Cheryl Morrison’s head drooped then popped back up, looking around to see if anything had changed, how long she had been asleep unknown. Nothing had. Alexis had cried herself to sleep on the loveseat almost an hour ago, and Charlie stood vigil watching the outdoor cameras in his dad’s office.

Cheryl had tried to stay awake, but she had to get some rest, even if only for a quick power nap. She pushed herself up from the couch to make sure Charlie was awake. She found him cradling the shotgun in his lap, his eyes glued to the cameras, leaving them only when his hand darted to the large bowl of chips he had poured himself, or the large glass of pop he was nursing.

“How are you doing?” she asked, walking over and squeezing his shoulders.

“Good. No action outside.” He looked up over his shoulder at her. “Maybe they won’t come back.”

“Maybe.” She sighed. “I’m going to get some sleep. Use the alarm to wake me if something happens, or if you get tired, come get me and I’ll take over.”

“Sure, Mom.”

She gave his shoulders another squeeze then went to the master bedroom, the usual spectacular view blocked by metal screens. It was depressing, but she didn’t have the energy to care. Her head hit the pillow and she was out like a light within seconds.

The phone rang.

She woke up, spinning herself so her feet were on the floor almost on instinct. The phone rang again. She reached for it and hit the Talk button.

“Hello?”

“Hello. Mrs. Morrison?”

“Who is this?”

“This is Deputy Wright from the Greene County Sheriff's Office. We’ve had a report of shots fired in your area. Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

Her heart was pounding. Their cottage was fairly remote, however it was definitely conceivable that someone heard the shots, especially with the number of shots that were fired.

“What about the other two with you? Are they okay?”

“Everyone is fine here, Deputy.”

Cheryl heard Charlie’s feet pounding on the hardwood floors and he burst into the bedroom as she put a finger to her lips, then covered the mouthpiece.

“They’re here!” he whispered. “A cop car and two more trucks. At least ten people. Only one cop though.”

“And what about the people who came to your cottage earlier?”

Cheryl’s heart slammed into her chest as she stood up, grabbing her weapon and following Charlie back to Leif’s office. Alexis was already there, pointing at the camera angle they needed to see.

“You mean the ones who tried to kill my daughter, and then us?”

“I mean the unarmed men you shot and killed in cold blood.”

“My daughter was attacked by four men in a pickup truck, pursued to our cottage, then they refused to stand down when ordered to. They rushed my position, and I was forced to defend myself. Three were shot, we let one leave.”

“Mrs. Morrison, I’m well aware of who your husband is, but if you think you can get away with shooting three unarmed people, including my brother, you’re sadly mistaken.
