Chapter Twenty One

Survival is easy compared to taking care of kids

After eating, everyone loaded up and Arthur led them to another store. This one was a smaller hardware store and they had to park along the back. Since there was only one forklift, Kirk started loading as the others pulled stuff over to empty pallets.

With those in the Suburban keeping watch, Arthur left it running since it was rather warm.

The hardware store only had half as much cement and fencing, so Kirk was done loading that rather fast. Then he started on the pallets the others were loading. No sooner than one was loaded than Kirk would scoop it up and run it to the trailers.

Feeling cocky and thinking he had the hang of this driving down, it was then that Kirk knocked over a small shelf. Thankfully, it was small and only blocked off one aisle. After that, Kirk slowed back down and had no other mishaps.

After an hour of loading, the trailers were full. Never taking the sling holding Nicole off, Arthur helped strap the loads down. When they were finished, Arthur turned to Shawn. “This time, you lead us home,” Arthur said and the color drained from Shawn’s face. “Shawn, you have to know how to get home without me leading.”

Slowly, Shawn started to nod. “Okay, but if you see me making a wrong turn, please call out because I can’t back up that long trailer.”

Reaching over and squeezing Shawn’s shoulder, “We will practice that later, now let’s get home,” Arthur said with a grin.

After loading the dogs up, Arthur saw Robin lying in the cargo area sound asleep, naked. “Don’t wake her up,” Arthur told the dogs, then closed the cargo door.

It took Shawn longer to lead them home because he drove slower, but he never made a wrong turn. Stopping at Jack’s barn, Pat and Kirk jumped out and ran for the forklift and track steer. Taking the straps off his trailer, Arthur stepped back as the boys headed over and started unloading the trailers.

Helping the others undo the straps on Shawn’s trailer, Arthur turned back and saw Pat taking the last load off his trailer. Stepping back as Kirk drove over, Arthur patted Nicole and watched Kirk lift the first pallet off Shawn’s trailer.

When both trailers were empty, they gathered up the straps and loaded back up. Pulling over to the fuel tanks beside the barn, they filled the trucks up. It was just after one when Arthur led them out of the valley, heading to Russellville.

It was after 2 p.m. when Arthur led them into Russellville and stopped at another large box chain home improvement store. After pulling the trucks inside, Arthur didn’t have to tell anyone what to do. Pat and Kirk took off with the dogs and found the forklifts and were soon dropping off empty pallets around the store.

As Arthur, Shawn, and Vicki loaded the pallets, Pat and Kirk started loading the trailers. Unlike last time, Arthur stopped them before the trailers were completely loaded.
