take me part 148

take me part 148 Sara and Jake were helping the early morning regulars. I walked up to Jake and said I needed the keys to the truck. He smiled and handed them to me, relieved. I grabbed my tool bag out of the back and walked into the kitchen as Chloe and Henry looked at me. "Sara's stronger than she knows." They nodded. I fixed the screen door, luckily it was just one hinge. It didn't take very long and the squeak was still there. I smiled because I'm odd. I put the tools back and tossed Jake the keys as I walked back into the kitchen again. I took over for Chloe and finished chopping and slicing as she went out front. "Can I get 10 sausage biscuits Henry?" He nodded and slapped his spatula on the grill. "How are you with all of this Henry?" I didn't want anything to linger. He turned and looked me, and smiled. ", I couldn't be happier, and Ella is ecstatic. I'm not so old that I can't accept what is obvious. It took me awhile because they are my daughters, but I understand that the three of you are.... unique. I think we all are realizing that. Billy and Ellen might be shocked because they haven't had much time yet, but they see the same thing I see. I'll never pass up being a grandpa and I know you'll take care of them. I was impressed at how quickly Jake accepted it but I think he did that before any of us because he loves having a father." I smiled. "Now get back to work, those onions are going to chop themselves." I finished up and put everything in the cooler, washed my hands and went out front. I grabbed the dirty dishes and brought them back to rinse. Henry handed me the bag of biscuits. I hugged him and said I'd be back to help with lunch. He nodded. I went out front and said goodbye to Sara and Chloe. Sara looked at my forehead, kissed her finger and touched it and them kissed me. How could anyone not love these two? "Let's go Jake, you need to pick up Em." He smiled as he said goodbye to Sara. Chloe walked out with us. I handed him two biscuits for Christine and Bethany. "Yours will be at the shop. I'll see there kiddo." He smiled and hugged both of us as we watched him drive off. "How's Henry?" "He's fine sweets. Happy because he's going to be a gramps again. I think Janes and Ali are going to come back early. I hope I'm wrong but we need to plan on that. I'm not exactly sure how that will work because I don't them being alone. We may have to move to Sara's until we deal with all of this." She nodded but was concerned. "We'll work it out love." "I'm pretty sure Ben is going to Sara's today and will stop by the shop before he does. I'll make sure he gets it done. He should have Janey's and Henry's done by the end of the week." She nodded and kissed me. "Have I told you that I love, mister?" I nodded as she kissed me again. "We're having a baby." I kissed her as I got into the car. "By the way, love. I don't do diapers." She smiled as she flipped me off and walked back inside. I pushed out to Gustav because he was the only threat now. His guy wouldn't find anything at Philip's unless I had missed something, which was possible but I didn't think likely with Ella and Claire helping me. I figured he'd find out about Alison but I wasn't sure if he'd link to our addresses but there wasn't much I could do about it except plan that he would. Gustav was on his heels and worried because everything in all three locations was in the hands of investigators. I'm sure there were a lot of powerful men shitting pickles right now. Gustav was going to be busy so that bought us time. It was a crap shoot if he would assume we had anything to do with it. Nothing tied us to it but Alison was his link to Denver, and we were protecting her. After watching what happened I wasn't that concerned because we all made a good team, and Bet and Javier's crew were top notch, but I wasn't going to take any chances. I made a note to see if I could get info about the operation in Philadelphia, and I needed to check back in on Charlie. I pulled into the shop as Jake and Emily pulled up. She smiled, ran and jumped on me like Sara does and kissed my cheek. She was SO happy. "Guess what Dad?" I liked how that sounded. Jake walked up smiling. "You're happy." She nodded. "I'm pretty sure I'm going to have two moms like Jake." I put her down and kissed her forehead and told her I was glad. I took a biscuit out of the bag and handed the bag to Jake. 'Go say hi to your aunt and uncle. I'll there in a few minutes." They nodded. "Hey Sam." I handed him a sausage biscuit as he smiled. "Thanks. Mags is making me eat cereal before I leave. Yesterday was great. We all had a great time, mostly," as he looked at me. "I'm just going to leave the grill at Chloe's and we can take it on the 4th." I nodded. "What happened?" "I forgot to bounce." He chuckled as he ate his biscuit. "I'm seeing Ella and Claire more often and I'm not use to the energy shift so I pass out sometimes, usually on hard surfaces. Chloe said I needed stitches but scars add character." He laughed. "I'll be back in a few with Jake." He nodded. "You want coffee?" He shook his head and pointed to his mug. Billy, Ellen, Emily and Jake were in the backyard enjoying their biscuits. I should have gotten 11 but I could grab something when I went back to Henry's to help with lunch. Since Chloe and Sara started working there business had increased. I kissed Ellen's head and patted Unc's shoulder. It certainly wasn't me. "When the hell are you two leaving?" Everyone one laughed. "Chloe said she would be happy if you never left. I said she didn't know you yet," as I looked at Uncle Billy, Ellen chuckled. Unc and I gave each other grief but I'd be OK if they moved back too. I doubt they would but maybe once they found out about Sara and Chloe. I know Jake and Em would love it. "Kidding aside, when are you heading out to see Bill and the ? I wanted to take you around to the storage units and thought Jake would like to come, Emily too if she's interested." Ellen chimed in, "If she's not then us girls can have an afternoon." Emily beamed, as did Jake. "We were going to talk with you about that. We've shifted our plans a little since we're staying through the Fourth. Can we still use the car?" I nodded. "It's still up in the air but we're looking at giving Sarah and the girls the tickets and renting an RV and camping at places in Utah and the Four Corners." I said they'd have a great time but it'd be hot. "We're looking at heading out on Friday and getting back a few days before the 4th. Sarah and the girls would fly into SLC and out of DIA." I nodded. "We're pretty sure that Steph and Ally are coming out the 4th but the boys aren't...too much work and they have family's." "Sounds good to me Unc. We'll play musical homes but it'll work. Too bad Bill and the can't make it." They nodded. I kissed Emily and Jake and told them to finish up and get to work and headed out back to help Sam. I grabbed the bag of biscuits because I knew Bet, Javier, and Ben would show up soon, and grabbed some coffee. I was still in limbo with my plans for expanding because of all the recent developments. We had plenty of business so I wasn't concerned about it but I wanted to get it started during the summer while Jake was here, but it was slipping away from me. I needed more hours. Jake came out back while Emily got online to do her classes. Sam was showing Jake what to do and Jake was picking up my slack for me as I did paperwork and looked at the schedule of work coming up. July was going to busy, and that didn't include the unexpected deaths which we always accommodated. Losing someone was devastating enough. It didn't matter how long we had to work. It's one of the reasons business was good, and consistent. Ben pulled up. I grabbed a biscuit and walked to his truck. He smiled because everyone loved Henry's sausage biscuits. "How are the ?" I handed him the biscuit. "Better. Thanks, I love these. Kim stayed home from work to be with them because being sick sucks." I nodded. "Can I get the key to Sara's place, and Janey's? I'm heading to Sara's after this and will do Janey's place tomorrow. I'll have time later in the week to look at Henry's. Are you OK with the setup?" I nodded and told him I'm figuring it out. "You still going to put better locks in and the security film on the windows?" He nodded. "Yeah, it's commonsense and easy. I'll put the lights up too because it won't take me long." I nodded. He handed me an invoice for the shop and Chloe's. "Can you cut me a check for that one now? Cash flow." I nodded. "Come on in." He said hi to Sam as Billy and Ellen walked in. They were taking a drive and picking stuff up for later. They were making something for dinner for us. I introduced them to Ben. They walked over to the setup and Ben walked uncle Billy through it in more detail than I did. I handed Ben a check and waved to all of them as Bet and Javier rode up. Billy and Ellen stopped and chatted before driving away. I guessed they would be here for dinner as well. I was tickled by how they were becoming fast friends.. I had tried slowing time down but it wasn't working. I took the last two biscuits out and asked if they wanted coffee. They nodded. We walked in and they hugged Jake and Sam and followed me into the kitchen. They both kissed Emily on the head and said hi as we went out back. They looked at me as they ate their biscuits. Bet spoke first. "Thanks, we love these." I nodded. " We need to have a family meeting jefe. Our computer guy is getting the microfiche downloaded, somehow. It's above our pay grade but we've seen some of it already. Some of it is lists of accounts, and some of it is names. We haven't seen all of it yet but he said it should be done today. Our impulse is to clean out the accounts, if we can, while they are still active." I agreed and told them to do it. "There were hundreds of names on part of the sheets as well with very detailed information. Our guys are looking into them. We don't have access to the Dvd's, obviously, but the cops do. It seems obvious that the guys on the microfiche are, or were, . We want to take them all down financially, but we need to bring more people in and it'll cost but these people are powerful, and rich. Once we're done it won't be a problem." Javier finished chewing. "You good with us doing that homes? We'll split it up when it's all done." I nodded. "We figured but we wanted to check in first but there's more. We haven't gone through everything we got at Philip's, but he was cautious. We found the drives that Simon wanted behind the baseboard. We don't know what's on them yet but we're working on it. What they found under the fridge is why we need to have a family meeting. Philip documented everything he knew, which was substantial, and detailed. The guys grabbed dozens of notebooks. There was also cash and gold coins as well as a few of passports and visas. We know someone who will pay top dollar for those but we were going to give them to him if that's OK. We've worked him for years and have cultivated a relationship of trust. We'd rather have the favor instead of the money." "Agreed. You never know what'll happen, and friends are more important than cash." "Exactly, homes. You speaking for the girls about this?" Bet stepped in. "They've been listening and are fine sweets." I nodded "We should have everything done by tomorrow. We'll stop by Henry's early tomorrow with the . They've been wanting pancakes and we can talk." I nodded. "Simon lost out because there was a lot in the safes in Scottsbluff. Bet and I wondering if all the places had that much, or if they put in one location and we lucked out before it was moved. It was a good haul. You got room in your safe?" I nodded. "I'll swing by later and drop a couple of bags. We're accounting for everything but you're in the loop. Our guys are honest because we take care of them." I nodded because I trusted them. They're family. Bet said, "One last thing, and most importantly. Thank y'all for including our crew and families yesterday. They LOVED it, especially the women and . It's not often they hang with people other than us, so that was huge." I could feel Chloe and Sara tearing. "Not everyone was there but everyone will be there on the 4th, if that's OK?" Bet and I laughed at the same time. "Never mind. The girls just said yes, including Janes. We'll see you tomorrow to discuss everything and later this evening for dinner. Billy and Ellen invited us and the ." Sara clapped. We hugged and I walked them out front. They kissed Em and hugged Jake and Sam. I was running out of time and buckled down on the paperwork and stopped at 11:00. I went in to see how Emily was doing. She smiled and hugged me. "I'm good dad. It's a lot but I like learning. I have the time, and I get to be here so I'm not alone at mom's." I scruffed her head as she laughed. "Go to Henry's with Jake when you reach a stopping point and have lunch." She nodded. I kissed her cheek. "Love you sweets." "Love you too dad." It was amazing to me how quickly both her and Jake accepted me as their father. It hurt my heart thinking about how long they didn't have that. They didn't care that I didn't look like either of them, just like they didn't care how each other looked. Hopefully their generation would save this planet. I said bye to Jake and Sam. "Take your girlfriend to Henry's for lunch Jake." He smiled and nodded. "You want anything Sam?" "Mags is stopping by and Bill and Ellen invited us for dinner, and I'm guessing Ellen is a pretty good cook." I smiled, and nodded. "I'll be back after lunch. Get back to work, slackers." I checked in on Janey and Alison and they were having brunch in bathing suits and sarongs. They were going to spend every last penny of that $4000, but I didn't care. Janey pushed into me and said they loved me. I checked in with Simon and he was going as fast as he could to get back to Chicago. He was making calls with people to grab stuff out of his place because he didn't want to go back there. He didn't have much there except clothes and the stuff to making living enjoyable. Everything he needed was in a storage unit outside of town. I knew where it was but he paid his price for hitting Chloe. He was a prick but his brother was dead. He had a broken nose. He was probably running from the cops, and certainly running from Gustav. If he made it through that alive then I figured he should have what he had. I wasn't vindictive. I pushed toward Gustav. He was having brunch with the woman from yesterday. I had the sense they were partners but they were both freaking out because they had no clue what was going on, which is exactly what I wanted. They were both livid, and scared, because they didn't know their exposure in this. You can rarely cover your tracks 100% and they were in that place of wondering, and that made me smile because it couldn't happen to worse people. I drove to Henry's to help with lunch. |
