One thing Harrison learned while building his business empire, getting the town’s support was key to having the yard be a success. One of the important components in that process was letting the townspeople know he was there to help. The easiest and best way was by having the local newspaper write a feature on him.

In the beginning, he reached out to the local papers, but as his business grew and his reputation reached further West, they sought him out rather than the other way around.

Today, he was meeting with Wesley Jensen, the owner and only reporter for the local newspaper, Silverpines Times.

Harrison had been spending more time with Willa than he originally intended. Since the zoo, he had spent several evenings at the farm having dinner with the family, he had taken her to dinner at the hotel twice, and they had gone for a walk through the fields on multiple occasions.

Though he enjoyed his time with her, and his affection for her was deepening, Harrison was in Silverpines for business. He needed to make sure he didn’t lose focus of that fact.

“Good morning, Mr. Holt, I’m Wesley Jensen. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” a tall man with curly auburn hair, a thin matching beard, and hazel eyes said, putting his hand out towards Harrison.

“Likewise,” Harrison said, taking the extended hand and shaking it firmly.

“I have a table reserved for us in the back, if you’ll just follow me,” Mr. Jensen directed.

Once they were settled in at the table across from each other, the waiter showed up and took their drink orders before scurrying off towards the back. Mr. Jensen pulled out a notepad and pencil, he noted the time and date at the top of the paper, before verifying Harrison’s basic background information such as his full name and age.

“Mr. Holt, many people have been speculating why you came to Silverpines to set up your next brickyard. Some think it’s because of the central location on the West coast, while others think you are here to take advantage of a town in crisis. Why did you decide to build your next brickyard here?”

“I was just finishing my time with my latest yard in Idaho Falls and knew I needed to look for another location out West. I’ve been expanding my business across the United States, moving along the rail lines from the East to West coast. When Mallet Thorne sent me a letter explaining the town’s situation, I thought setting up my next yard in Silverpines might be a good fit. I could provide additional jobs and make building costs more affordable for the town while being centrally located for the entire West coast.”

The questions paused for a moment while the server placed two iced teas on the table, then quickly left them alone again. Mr. Jensen immediately resumed his interview. “Did you come here thinking you could get land cheap because of the fire?”

The line of questions was disturbing. It almost seemed like Mr. Jensen was under the impression that Harrison had indeed come to Silverpines for the wrong reasons.
