Chapter 31: Forever Home

We arrived at the ranch an hour later. Marcus led our caravan followed by my friends and I, then Leon and Loice and at the end was Charles. Marcus's voice came through the speakers before any of us could alight from our trucks.

"I need everyone one to stay put. There's are lights on in the farm which could mean other people here. Charles and I will go check it out. The rest of you wait for further directions." He cut the connection leaving us dwindling our thumbs in our respective trucks. They disappeared for over thirty minutes before reappearing. From my truck I could see four men, when only two went in. It was still dark and the lights from the farm offered no illumination at the gate. I released the safety of my gun ready to blow anyone who wasn't familiar if they tried to get to my truck.
