Experiment 276 Classified

Chapter 11

When is the next meat run? Three days.

Park the van as you have. I'll be ready.

Deveraux walked to see Halo out the back of the barn as usual. He climbed the adjoining fence between their properties, knocking on her back door. She came open it, hugging him tight as he kissed her tears away.

Anything?

Thank God no... nothing, oh, just the Dr. asked for you. I mean, if I saw you, I said you were chopping wood, so leave some fresh cut-out side the houses tonight like you always do when you deliver on the little electric cart.

Thank you, baby. Listen, can you sneak into my barn on Thursday when the meat truck gets here? Sure, why? Make sure no one's watching.

Okay, baby.

Guess what? They walked to her barn, closing the door.

What?

I met my brother and I have an uncle. Deveraux explained the entire story as Halo sat shocked.

This is a pop occasion.

Haha sorry sweetheart everything was so crazy the soda broke when I fell unconscious from the sleep dart.

I still can't believe that fool driver pulled a gun on you, Dev.

Sure did, but Adam and my uncle shot him, or so I'm told. He didn't mention how he worked for them or how Adam and Marcus had his family hostage.

I have class tomorrow. Dev.

Okay baby please normal yes? Halo shook her head yes.

Adam & Marcus....

Adam's cell rang. We are good.

Your wife and child have a TV they ate have facilities and have unlimited water.... for now. Your daughter and wife have a cot they share, and they are warm. There is a guard with them 24 hours a day. Any funny business if we think you did some fuck shit well you be planting them in that cemetery you pass to get to the mall am I clear?

Crystal let me spark with Marcus.

What? I'm holding you accountable of my family is hurt.

I'm holding you accountable of my family is hurt.

Haha that's funny.

How so?

Because your family are the dangerous ones.

The driver hung up. What he say Uncle?

Gibberish trying to get attention ignore his ass. So how is married life nephew?

We had a traditional Apache wedding it was wonderful Uncle. My wife was so pretty that day. Not to say she is not pretty now.. you know what I mean.

Yes I do.

What about you Uncle wife...kids?

Me?... Nah too worried about being found out my whole life has been dedicated to finding you all. After that we'll I do have a lady friend but we way past child bearing you know?

I do at least you have someone I would be updet if you were in this world all alone all this time.

I see my brother in you. His care and love he poured in you. What happened... how did you escape the estate Adam?

I don't know Uncle. I went to sleep and when I woke up I was outside the estate. The van driver told me my people begged him to get me out. He said wasn't right what they did to us. He gave me a bag with papers to the cabin.

That was my grandparents' cabin haha I never thought to check there how is the Ole cabin?

It was a shack Uncle but I learned how to fix houses and the barn from dad and grandad so I was able to bring her back to her original beauty. Guess what?

What nephew?

Has that old original stove.

Haha, no way the wood burner?

Yes sir it's still there.

Wow I gotta see what wonders you worked with the place.

Oh I worked wonders alright it was a dilapidated shell when I got her but she had good bones... and an outhouse.

Hahah I forgot about that.

I learned how to install a toilet and shower before winter came in. All the upgrades... did em myself well me and my father in law.

That's really good nephew proud of you. Now you have a lucrative honey business? I see the tribal women selling your honey at farmer markets. I asked a lady about you. She pretended not to understand.

She didn't understand Uncle.

Marcus scoffed speaking the Apache language.

I'm impressed how'd you learn?

Worked for border patrol in Texas for seven years you'd be surprised who tries to cross into this country.

Oh I'm not surprised.

How many hives do you have?

Oh about sixty now Uncle you can say... they gravitate to me.
