Ev and Cheryl came to sit at the table with Clora and Helga. "I wonder how long it is going to take Wayne to realize Sas is interested in him," Cheryl said conversationally, "she has done everything but rope and hog tie him, and if he doesn't get the message soon, she'll probably do that."
Ev looked like he wasn't sure that was the proper thing for Sas to do, but accepted that it was going to happen.
Helga tried making a small fire to warm the coffee and the left over chili from the night before. The two men walked slowly into camp, with the dog putting himself between the newcomers and the playing children. All three kids called out their greetings and then went back to playing, as Wayne sniffed his way into the makeshift kitchen to stand near the bubbling chili pot.
"What happened here?" Willie asked as he skirted the soggy watered down fire pit.
"Monumental catastrophe," Clora explained, "that's why the guy's are in town, looking for for additional supplies."
Wayne was casual as he checked out the camp, but make no mistake, he was looking for Sas.
"Christy and Sas walked in to see if there was anything interesting, and we need a couple of wagons or wheelbarrows to haul the kids and supplies. Did you guys get to the cabin?" Clora inquired.
"Yes, the stone foundation is still there. It's strange however, when we were fleeing from the fire it was about to engulf the town and the homesteads here. It stopped before it got to the woods because of a fire break. Who did the fire lane as we were leaving? I sure didn't hear any machinery working. Somebody did the work, the dozer evidence is still there." Wayne was almost angry. "It's just garbage the way unseen forces keep yanking our chain. I think we should start building a castle, something we can defend."
Helga gave Wayne and Willie a bowl of chili each and went to the tailgate for spoons from the dish drainer. "Miz Helga may we have cookies please?" Milo ducked under Wayne's outstretched arm to ask politely.
Helga glanced at Clora and got a nod, so she went to the coffee can in the pickup bed for three of the treats. Wayne was about to ask for a cookie himself, when the pickup full of adventurers came honking and driving toward camp at a high rate of speed.
