When I said that we were a new shop and needed a complete set of impact tools, he asked if he could stop by after this call. I smiled happily saying, ..."Come on down."Back at the shop, I unloaded everything, filled the bead blaster, put the jugs next to the parts washer and worked on installing the dryer for the compressor. As a temporary fix I used a twenty-five foot hose to connect the reel pull down unit that I mounted on the door side of the big work bench.There was a motor starting, coughing. It was that day, when we were going to make it official at a party that night and then leave on a vacation that would take us to so many wonderful locations. I went to finish my day at the music store and she went off to finish doing away with her apartment. We would meet at my place at five.At about three I got a call, from the local police. They asked me how I know Amber Paul. I told the detective on the phone that she was my finance'. That we were moving in together today. Then he said....... "Well, Richard?" I asked loudly. "My mouse is getting itchy." What exactly is it you want, Jack?" he responded."I told you, call off the dogs. The tap comes off Lisa's phone and she gets to go where she wants without company. And you give up the hunt for me." How are we supposed to do that?" I've been interviewed and cleared," I told him. "I'm no longer a 'person of interest.' You tell that to the media, loud and clear. And you quit sifting through my background, mine and Lisa's, too. It's that. We set about preserving the meat. We canned some and dried most of the rest of it. We ate some fresh for a couple of days. The beef stew with some of our grits was very good, but the steaks were a bit on the chewy side.While we were waiting for the fields to dry and get ready to harrow and plant, Billie asked if she could work on my van to see if she could make it work for us. Of course I agreed and Joy and Night said they would help when they could also.I tried to keep up with what Billie was.
