The two looked at the people they called co-workers at the moment and they looked at each other and shook their heads. That was when they spotted another group being told how to muck out the stalls as the horses were being turned out for the day. Sophia smiled as she saw her horse while she was there at least. He was at the fence waiting for some attention from her as he whined rather loudly.
“Looks like I will have to have enough room for him to come along too.” Micha laughed as he watched the horse pace back and forth as she got nearer to the fence. The horse roared as he bucked onto two hooves to show her she was taking to long to get to him.
“Another impatient male to deal with.” Sophia said and he roared with laughter. As she got to the fence the horse began t

When the kids had their fill of the calf and they were getting restless he lifted them over and told them to go see their ma. He helped Sophia over the fence and caught her in his arms as he held her there. He knew all the people who were in groups were watching the pair closely. He grinned as he placed her on the ground for a second and then threw her over his shoulder. He began stalking to the cottage house they were sharing. She wasn’t screaming but laughing instead as he moved faster to the house.“They won’t miss us for a bit.” He said as he chuckled.“Not again.” Sophia said and he roared with laughter as he set her down in the living room.“Noticed I stopped here cowgirl?” he said when he could control his laughter.“Good.” She said as she looked at him. “What is

Micha looked at the shocked faces of the people in front of him. He had been known as the hothead in the family so none of his family was surprised that these people had pushed him to far with their behaviors. His brothers were more surprised that he could stop himself from ripping the man in front of him to shreds or at least beat him till he was nothing more than pulp.Micha could see the looks of confusion set in as they honestly knew how serious he was about getting rid of every single one of them. It was one thing to put the company in danger of a lawsuit but it was completely another to risk the life of someone because they were jealous or felt threatened by the fact his blinders had fallen off.

Sophia went outside with Micha right behind her. She was mad now. She was furious as she could see all of the activity going on in the stables and in the circle. People were slightly wary of Micha at the moment she could see it in their eyes. She turned and looked at him and saw the murderous look he was giving everyone.She had to smile despite the seriousness of everything going on. Sophia looked at the hands in the stable getting up the hay that had been spread around as they were searching for more nails under the mat of hay. The horses were out in the pen and they were walking around. She spotted one that was also favoring one side more than the other. She pointed to it and one of Micha’s brothers took off to go check it out.When he got there it was plain to see the animal was in some pain. He carefully lifted the leg up and sure enough he was there trying to pull somethin

As the Vet and the woman by his side stood there with their mouths open Sophia started to the pen with Micha right behind her and Elise following behind. When they were out of ear shot Micha started to laugh. His deep voice filled the air. “Ma as much as I like you putting him in his place and her too did ya have to do it that way?”“I reckon it was the only way they would understand.” His mother replied as she looked over the pair in front of her. “Everyone knows I fight for mine.”“I know you do but Sophia ain’t one of yours yet.” Micha said as he looked at his mother standing there next to them as Sophia had gone over the fence and was in the pen already. She was intently hunting for the cows she had seen from afar.“Yes she is.” The older woman said as she looked at her son, “You just ain’t made it proper, yet.”M

“What?” he asked as he looked at her. He had never in his life heard that saying. He was more confused by her actions. He knew the nails didn’t react to smoke the way she had said. He was even more dumbfounded by the reaction of his sister and mother as they looked on with approval towards Sophia.“Micha yes we do.” She said. “If you got rats in the barn you move the traps but if you got a snake in there too. You get the snake near the rats and watch one problem go away. Right now we got a few snakes, a whole bunch of rats, and some biting insects all swarming in one place. Let them take care of each other before we really have to put in any effort.”“Oh.” Micha said as he looked on to the group and then back to the woman. “But the fire?”“Well if you lie make it a good one.” Sophia said with a smile. “I mean even for a second you believed me about the reaction.”&ld

Somewhere in the middle of everything Sophia lost sight of Micha as he continued to move around. The damage that was done was minimal to the animals. It would be a rather easy treatment plan. After everything was said and done there were only less than ten people who had not bee charged with something. They all looked relieved as well.“I didn’t think anyone would actually do something to you.” One of the women said as she walked up to Sophia. “I honestly thought it was their talk. You know how they are.”“I do.” Sophia said. “I am just glad that Micha listened.”Sophia walked away and smiled as she spotted him off to the side talking on the phone. He was smiling as he spoke.

She only smiled back to
