.“Nope.No text.So he should be home for dinner.”“Vernon wants us all to go to his place for Christmas.You up for it?”“I am.I miss him and Connie.” Charlie thought about his old boss.He was a manager of a horse ranch in Heber, Utah.Strange things happened on that ranch.Very strange.“Good.I wouldn’t mind seein’ him and the boys.” Butch finished tending Scout, and put the painted horse into a stall, patting its hind quarters.“It’s easy to lose touch,” Charlie said, continuing to make sure the horses’ water was not frozen and they had plenty of food.“Yeah, Hal and JP ain’t much for texting.” Butch laughed and swept the cement floor.Charlie smiled to himself and then glanced at the twenty-one year old young man.He and Butch had their differences in the past, mostly over the running of Vernon Norman’s ranch, but things were different now.Better.“Why don’t you call Dan from down the way and see if his boys can keep an eye on things here while we’re gone.”Butch nodded, setting the broom aside.“How long ya think we’ll be away?”“Just three days.I can’t ask his boys to do everythin’ around here for us.”“We could hire some of our part time men to stay at the house while we go.Seems a waste visitin’ for such a short while.”“Ya know you can always go by yerself and see them anytime.” Charlie adjusted his black cowboy hat and brushed his leather gloves off, seeing the dry dust of the oats forming a cloud as he clapped.Butch smiled sweetly.“What? Go without you an’ Roman? What fun would that be?”“Oh, I don’t know.” Charlie approached the handsome young man and patted his rump.“I think you can get into plenty of mischief without us.”“More with you.” Butch kissed Charlie’s mouth and smiled as he walked out of the barn.Charlie watched him leave, seeing the snow falling around him, just light flurries.The trees were bare except for the evergreens, and snow hung heavily on their boughs from the last snowfall.Going back to Heber.Charlie shivered and it wasn’t only from the chill.He finished tending the horses, his mind drifting to the bad old days.~Agent Roman Burk checked the time on his watch and finished typing on the computer.His supervisor, Nick Hoffman, walked behind his desk.“You still here?”Roman glanced at him and replied, “Just finishing up a request for a warrant for phone records.”“It’s Friday.Go home.”“Yes, sir.” Roman gave Nick a playful salute, and logged off the computer.Lights began to shut off in the larger offices which surrounded the cubicle he was working at.He stood, nudged his chair under the desk and took his black leather jacket from a coat stand nearby.After he put his coat and scarf on, he checked his phone.Nothing from Charlie, so he assumed everything was all right.Roman headed out of the building which housed the ATF branch in Reno.He had been on the department for nearly a decade and was only thirty-one years old.That meant he had a long way to go to retire.As he found his keys for the commute home, he felt very tired.And he knew why.His sleepless nights.He felt as if he could not rest.Dreams, odd dreams, kept him from getting any real solid shuteye, so day after day, he became more exhausted.He located his SUV in the employee parking lot and sat behind the wheel.Before he left, he turned on the heat to warm up the interior and called home.“Hey.”“Hey.” Roman smiled at the sound of Charlie’s voice.“Anything you want me to pick up on my way home?”“Naw, we have everythin’.Butch and I went food shopping earlier.”“Okay.See ya in an hour.”“Or less if ya speed…and it’s snowin’ over here.You get hit yet?”“No.But by you it usually snows more.”“Be safe, babe.”“I will.” Roman disconnected the call, backing out of the spot.As he drove from the lot to the main road, he jammed on his brakes, thinking a dog had darted out in front of him.A horn sounded behind him from an irate driver, but Roman could not see the dog now.He gave a good look around and kept driving, feeling a shiver down his spine.Distracted, trying not to think disturbing thoughts, Roman turned the music CD louder, ironically, listening to Snow Patrol in the impending snowstorm.The winter nights were long and dark, and as he hit the highway, and advanced towards the mountains, he could see the snowplows coming and going.Right before the clouds drew closed over him, he spotted a full moon, white as a spotlight and perfectly rounded.His skin rose with goose bumps, and a strange chill rushed over him.The dark, thick clouds obscured the moon and flurries began brushing his windshield.Roman cranked up Chasing Cars, loving the lyrics.A familiar feeling began to permeate Roman’s senses.He hadn’t felt it in two years, and hoped he’d never feel it again.As the hair stood on his forearms, Roman began to become afraid.He felt his teeth ache.It always seemed to hit his teeth, then his gut.“No…” he muttered, knowing he had to make it home, fast, before he felt too sick [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
