Chapter 51

The night started when he came to get her, and he looked at her head to toe and then grinned in a way that made her heart soar. He put out his arm and then led her to their SUV, and then he started driving.

“Where are we going?” she asked as she looked at him. He was also dressed differently.

“Sophia, I wanted to go somewhere where we could talk. Really talk first, and then I have a few things to show you.” He said, and she could feel her heart begin to drop. She knew what this talk was. She was trying to brace herself for the worst, but then he stopped, and they were by a field. The field had dots on the horizon that were familiar to her. They were nothing but cows that had been put out to graze for the fall. She smiled at the sight.

“So you wanted to talk?” she asked as she tried to harden her voice a bit so he wouldn’t realize that he was breaking her heart b

    Chapter 52“Sadly, yes.” He said as he looked at her. “Baby, I know that telling you that means you are gonna want to bring all of them home with us, but I know you won’t. We could take them all, but your aversion to birds is a thing. I think they said they had mostly birds as well. We will see what you want, though, and then we will find the place to put them.”“Micha, we can’t just take on a working farm by ourselves and the help that we have. I understand what you are saying and doing, but I want you to know I can have some restraint.” Sophia said.“Then get in the car and show me some of this restraint.” He chuckled as he looked at her. “Because as soon as you see the late breeders, I doubt you will have any.”“Late breeders?” she asked.“Well, one of the things that made them decide to pack it up was an inci

    Chapter 53The two women walked through the first barn. Sophia saw that all the animals were in good condition. She was afraid they would be in less than taken care of when she heard they were going to auction. “To be honest, I just don’t have the time to deal with getting groups ready for sale. He helps, but honestly, his mind isn’t what it is used to be.” The older woman said. “When the vet first thought we would have some out-of-season babies, I laughed because he didn’t tell me anything. However, one of the stable hands then let me in on his ability to forget what he was doing, and then he could leave a gate open or something like that. After the first time, which is the result you will be looking at soon enough, the hands here all keep a close eye on him for me while I am handling something else.”“I am sorry,” Sophia said.“it is time for us to retire.&rdq

    Chapter 54“Evidence?” she asked.“Sophia, just hold on.” He said as he floored it onto the main road, and then he took off to the police department. The area was relatively small compared to him living in the middle of no where so the roundabout route he was taking led them to the department, and then he got her out, and they walked in and looked around.“Can I help you?” A voice in the back of them asked as the person looked around them.“I hope so,” Micha said as he looked at the person. “However, I am not sure that it is a crime. I do want to make sure that it is reported and documented.”“And that is what, sir?” the man asked as he looked intrigued by the way Micha said things.“So my wife and I were interested in buying some of the animals at the Hatchets farm,” Micha said. “I already bought their cattle, and then I kne

    Chapter 55“Come with us, please.” The captain said as he motioned for the couple to follow him. “Understand before we go into the room this is a very small department. We have a traveling detective that covers the entire county.”“Okay,” Micha replied as he looked at the men there. He had his hand at Sophia’s back and kept it there. He knew how small areas worked. They only had the sheriff's office that was twenty or so miles away from the ranch. Though this area was more populated than his, it was easy to see they would be shorthanded. Most farmers that were in the area had been there for generations. These people all grew up on the land as well.Sophia looked around the hallways, and then they walked into a small room. There were news articles on the walls taped up. She saw the date on some of them. They were a few decades old. She was confused. She looked at the men standing

    Chapter 56 “Okay, so what are you really telling us?” The Captain asked. “You said the people made you feel uncomfortable. That is that, okay, but that doesn’t give us any real criminal activity.” “Like I said in the beginning. Something isn’t right there, and I knew that it is not enough, but I had to do something to let you know that something isn’t right there.” Micha said. “I still don’t know how people go missing on that farm.” The quiet man asked who had been looking between the two people and the board that was on the side of the room. “Farms have so many ways for people to die or go missing. You know I never really thought of it before.” Sophia said. She looked at the men. “I mean, the tools we have for the animal care is one thing. We have everything normally on site. We have some things as well, like poison for the rodents and bugs. We have so many things that could hold and treat animals as well. Holding pens,

    Chapter 57“I know I ain’t my pa,” he said. “That man would have seen this miles away.”“And how would he have?” Sophia asked with a laugh. “Micha, you didn’t do anything wrong. You were trying to do something good.”“And I messed it up.” He said with a sigh. “Cowgirl, look, I don’t want to continue this way of you holding me at bay. I ain’t one of the bulls on the farm. I want to be your husband.”“I know that,” Sophia said. “I really want to trust everything you said, Micha. I want this to work out. Call it all the extra hormones raging in me. Call it whatever. Ki doesn’t know anymore. I just get a little jealous knowing that you are around women that could be supermodels, and here I am looking like a heifer getting ready to pop.”“You are not a heifer by any stretch of the i

    Chapter 58 Sophia sat down at the table as he began to serve her all the favorites that she had said she liked before on the many times they had gone to this one restaurant. He was good with details like that. The man in front of her knew that he could handle just about anything when it came to a boardroom or running a huge company, but a life with his wife was never going to be really easy for him. That is why he knew that he needed a strong woman to be there. Sophia was that. She was the one he needed, and he knew that he had to have the type of woman he was used to when he was growing up. He would never be able to deal with a wish-washy type of woman who always let him chose or have what he wanted. He needed someone he knew he could leave in charge and that would be able to handle everything that needed to be. Sophia was that to him. He could trust her in everything.

    Chapter 59 “I am not changing anything because of you in the way you think I am,” Micha said. “Honestly, when the idea came to me, you were just a part of it. I love you, Sophia, and I will do what I have to to make sure that you know that, but this will be better for me, the company, and us.” “I know you mean well, but I can’t help but think this means a lot more work for both of us,” Sophia said with a laugh. “However, as your wife, I will support you, and if you think that you can do more this way, I have to believe that you can.” “That’s my good girl.” He said as he patted his lap and wanted her there on it. Though they were changing so many things in their lives, one thing was always there. When they were touching, they sparked to life. He knew this, and he needed his wife to right there with him. He ran his fingers through her hair. As he pulled her close to him and kissed her. He could feel the sparks soon, and he knew she

    They settled in for the night, and all he could do was hold her close for the night. She understood why. He knew it was over, and all was good. He knew that she was safe there when she was in his arms. She wanted to be there as well. He looked a little more in peace. She watched him as closely as he watched her as closely. She knew that he was this way only because they were safe. He had to have her in his arms, and that was the only way for him to relax. He thought he had put them all in danger. She knew that was his biggest problem. He was now ready to accept that within himself. The time was going to go by quickly. The days would pass, and they went in the same direction. She went to work on the farm, and soon enough, they had another building put up within a few weeks of that fateful weekend. They knew that they were working for something that was still a new idea. He went to the building every day, and then he was abl

    “Sophia, they had people there waiting in an underground bunker.” He said. “There were things in there that frankly were disturbing. The things they did to those people in the name of making their farm better. Actually, I have no idea what they were talking about when they were handcuffed. Nothing was making too much sense. However, they found other things in the house.” “What were they?” Sophia asked as she propped her elbows on the table and looked at him. She had forgotten about the food that was in front of her even though she was ravenous from all the work done during the day. “Sophia, you shouldn’t have this in your head,” Micha said as she looked at him, and then she changed the look. “Micha trust me that my imagination is worse than the truth so just spill it,” Sophia said as she looked at him. “They had people down in the bunker to help with the experiments that they were running,” Micha said as he looked at her. “Their sons, b

    Micha sat at the table and began to dish out the food. As he watched Sophia go over the paperwork piece by piece as he got the food ready for them. “The records are in good order from all I can see. I will get them all digital this week.” “You can rest tomorrow.” He said, and she looked at him and shook her head. “Micha, I know you have been through a lot today, but we also just took on a bunch of animals I wasn’t planning on having. We still have a few months before we really have to think about prepping for the winter with all of them.” Sophia said. “I know you have things on your mind, but I have to do the planning.” “Baby, I know,” Micha said as he looked at her. “You have the animals to think about now. I get that I forgot how much I just added to your plate.” “That doesn’t matter to me. You should know that. I told you to get them all. I don’t even matter that you brought the birds back. I don’t think this has anyth

    “What?” she asked as she looked at him. “I love you.” He said as he stood up and then kissed her. “I couldn’t have this dream come true without you.” “Well, Micha, our hobby farm just became a real one.” She said as he kissed him back, and then the two just stood there with her in front of him, leaning on his chest. “Ma will like it here now.” He laughed, and she laughed as well. “She did call it better than anyone else in the family. She knew that this was going to be our life as well.” “Of course it was going to be.” She replied as she laughed. “Micha, we were born to do this. We have your beef cows. We have milk cows. We have horses, alpacas, goats, and all those birds.” “No tot mention a few sheep.” He said. “Sheep?” she asked. “Surprise.” He replied as she was shaking her head. “Where are they?” she asked. “On their way here, not today.” He replied. “Micha Moran.” She said as she look

    Micha was on his feet almost the entire day. The words from the old man as he looked at him still haunted him. He looked at his house and knew that the last transport truck was right behind him. He parked in the back of the house and then walked around the house to find his wife directing traffic like she was the ultimate supervisor. She was smiling at everyone and looking over the animals. She turned when he took a step onto the porch where she was at. “I thought I told you to stay inside.” He said as he looked at her. Then he looked at what was propped up on her leg, and he chuckled. “Of course, you would find a way to get around the one request I had for you.” “Micha, what is it?” She asked as she looked at his face. The lines were a little deeper as he looked at her. His head hurt. “They are sick,” Micha said. “I never thought I was really putting you in danger when I took you there last night. Sophia, you save

    “I will be home as soon as I can, Baby.” He said as he hung up the phone and turned to see the man walkout. This time his wife was with him, who looked happy that the animals were being loaded up rather easily. “Here you go.” Mr. Hatchet said as he handed over a box full of records for every one of the animals. “I hope your lovely little wife likes them as much as we have.” “I am sure she will,” Micha said as he took the box of records and laid the cattle ones on the top. He walked up to his car, and that was when the cops that were behind him took the lead. He continued to the car, and then there was a rush of officers everywhere. He smiled to himself. Whatever they had seen was probably all they needed too. The Captain was there as well. He put out his hand to Micha at the top of the driveway. “We got them because of you and your wife. I can’t thank you enough.” “I don’t really know what you are talking about, but I am glad I co

    Micha made a call to the transport company, and they were sending out another crew with two trucks to get everything loaded up quickly. When Micha explained the situation quickly and not very detailed, leaving the person on the other end of the phone to fill in the blanks, they agreed that getting there quickly and the animals removed quickly was the best thing. Micah was a good customer, and they knew that he would pay whatever they wanted without a quote, and he tipped really well as well. He knew that he had to make another call and he hoped she had her phone on her. When she picked up, “Micha?” “Hey Cowgirl. “he said. “So we got a few critters coming your way soon.” “What type of critters and how many do I have? So I can have every one ready for the delivery trucks.” Sophia said. “Don’t get mad at me.” He said. “You got everything, didn’t you?” She asked. “Not the pigs.” He replied. “Well, than

    “Now, the fowl?” Micha asked, seemingly ignoring the man behind him. “We got three hundred chicken. Nine turkeys. Two emus. Five pea fowl and two pea cocks.” The older man said, knowing that Micha was showing him the respect as the seller by not responding to the men behind him. “And how much for the entire lot?” Micha asked. “I can have the money transferred in five minutes.” “How about a cool ten thousand for the entire lot of everything?” Mr. Hatchet said. “Eight thousand,” Micha said as his counter. “Deal.” The man said. “I will have the money in your account in a few minutes,” Micha said as he pulled out his phone and then transferred the money quickly. He already had the information he needed to transfer the money, and he hit send, and the other man got a notification. “We will have all the animals off the property tonight After the paperwork is given.” “Thank you very much.” The old man said. “I will be ba
