“Joey gets the barn!”

Previously: “I’m bored,” Debra complained, “Can’t we go out and play?”

“What Debra said,” Linda agreed, “I’m bored to tears.”

“We could take a vacation,” Joey suggested.

“You’re ALWAYS on vacation,” Debra cracked.

“And your point?”

Mac interrupted—laughing, “KIDS! Stop whining!”

“I’m heading to the farm—just try and stop me.”

“Got room for more?” Joey asked.

“We have room for everyone,” Boomer replied, “Except Joey.”

“Hey!” Joey exclaimed.

“Kidding—we even have a stream you can fish.”

“YES! I’m in!

Season 17—Adventure 10—REVENGE—Episode 10—Scene 1… Boomer’s Pine County Farm… One by one the Posse members arrived at Boomer & T’s Pine County Farm, “You will find quarters in the basement of the house, upstairs and in the upper level of the barn—stake-out your quarters.”

“We’ll take an upstairs bedroom,” Mac said.

“So too, will we,” Chris Earp called-out.

“Joey gets the barn!” Linda laughed.

“Joey gets the barn!”

(If looks could kill—GENTLE READER™—Linda would be…)

Joey quickly recovered, laughing, “I’ll take the barn!”

“Good choice,” Boomer replied, “There are two apartments in the barn’s loft—anyone else?”

“Is there room for two?” Debra asked

“Yes, on the barn’s loft.”

“Melissa & I call dibs on one!”

“Ralph & I call dibs on the other,” Linda declared.

“I’ll just take whatever is left over,” Joey said.

“Basement, Joey,” Boomer replied, “It’s very-cool—10° cooler than the main floor.”

“Cool,” Joey quipped.

“I’m hungry,” Linda declared.

“I have a grill out-back,’ Boomer said, “Perhaps we could convince Joey to cook?”

“Heck yeah,” Joey replied, “What do you have?”

“Steaks and chicken in the fridge, and baking potatoes, and a variety of vegetables.”

“Good enough.”

Episode 10—Scene 2… Behind the farmhouse… Joey worked his culinary-magic—and all attendees enjoyed the feast.

Some to excess.

Some to excess.

But that was an enjoyable excess.

Episode 10—Scene 3… Pine County Road 47… Randall McDaniel a new operative of Janet Smith, was on his way north from Willow River, decided to cut-across to Highway 23 and just happened to drive by Boomer’s farm.

He recognized Boomer’s Mustang in the driveway.

He recognized Boomer’s Mustang in the driveway.

Unfortunately—he was too new to Smith’s operation to have a communicator. He would have to drive to Duquette on Highway 23 to find a payphone.

That would take him a half-hour, without the flat tire his old truck just suffered, “Aw CRAP!”

­­­He finally made it to a payphone and called Smith.

She was not pleased.
