Chapter 66
Micha had made some of his phone calls and had everything in place for a meeting in an hour. They were to meet at the police station. He was ready to get this over with, but he went to the police station to meet up with the officers to make sure they did fit in with cattle folk. They had to be able to help out and not get in the way. That was his plan.
AS he drove over to the Police station, he was thinking of the plans for the building he wanted to put up to the house for his new workspace. He wanted to have all the major things he wanted in an office and a few extras at the same time. Though he thought a more simple open space design would have the same effect, and he would be able to watch her as she worked.
The parking lot of the station was completely full. He was hoping that this would work. He saw the first of the cattle trucks were there, and then men that worked for the company were all hanging

“That remains a secret.” He said. “I would like to keep my identity and the farm a secret as much as possible. My wife is already a target because I brought her there last night. Trust me, if there was a way to make sure she is safe, I would take it.” “Devoted to her, ain’t you?” One of them asked as they walked to the set of trucks. “You have no idea how much I would do to protect her,” Micha said as he looked at the men. Micha got into his car, and then he went to the farm in question. The trucks were following him now, and he then parked on the side of the road and let the truck go into the driveway to make it easier to load the cattle up. “Hello.” The man they had met the night before said as he came out. “I want to pick up the cattle I bought, and I would like to talk to you about the goats and the alpacas,” Micha said. “Oh, you do?” the man said. “Well, we can walk through and talk about it. Just give me a moment t

Micha went to the closest barn. It had the goats and alpacas in it. He knew this from the night before. He looked at the other men. “This is the first barn. Look around. This is where my wife got a bad feeling. She isn’t wrong; I had it as well.” “Okay.” The man closest to him said. Mr. Hatchet came out of the house and looked at the barn. The men were standing with him in the front of the barn. No one was out of place, and the old man looked relieved when he walked closer. That was how every one was alerted to the change in the man. He handed a packet of papers to Micha, and then he looked at them. They were the records for the cattle he bought. Sophia would need these. Micha looked at the older man. “Can we discuss the goats and the alpacas now?” “We have thirty-five does and ten bucks right now.” Mr. Hatchet said as he looked at Micha. “The Alpacas, we have thirty-nine and the dominant male. We tried to

“Now, the fowl?” Micha asked, seemingly ignoring the man behind him. “We got three hundred chicken. Nine turkeys. Two emus. Five pea fowl and two pea cocks.” The older man said, knowing that Micha was showing him the respect as the seller by not responding to the men behind him. “And how much for the entire lot?” Micha asked. “I can have the money transferred in five minutes.” “How about a cool ten thousand for the entire lot of everything?” Mr. Hatchet said. “Eight thousand,” Micha said as his counter. “Deal.” The man said. “I will have the money in your account in a few minutes,” Micha said as he pulled out his phone and then transferred the money quickly. He already had the information he needed to transfer the money, and he hit send, and the other man got a notification. “We will have all the animals off the property tonight After the paperwork is given.” “Thank you very much.” The old man said. “I will be ba

Micha made a call to the transport company, and they were sending out another crew with two trucks to get everything loaded up quickly. When Micha explained the situation quickly and not very detailed, leaving the person on the other end of the phone to fill in the blanks, they agreed that getting there quickly and the animals removed quickly was the best thing. Micah was a good customer, and they knew that he would pay whatever they wanted without a quote, and he tipped really well as well. He knew that he had to make another call and he hoped she had her phone on her. When she picked up, “Micha?” “Hey Cowgirl. “he said. “So we got a few critters coming your way soon.” “What type of critters and how many do I have? So I can have every one ready for the delivery trucks.” Sophia said. “Don’t get mad at me.” He said. “You got everything, didn’t you?” She asked. “Not the pigs.” He replied. “Well, than

“I will be home as soon as I can, Baby.” He said as he hung up the phone and turned to see the man walkout. This time his wife was with him, who looked happy that the animals were being loaded up rather easily. “Here you go.” Mr. Hatchet said as he handed over a box full of records for every one of the animals. “I hope your lovely little wife likes them as much as we have.” “I am sure she will,” Micha said as he took the box of records and laid the cattle ones on the top. He walked up to his car, and that was when the cops that were behind him took the lead. He continued to the car, and then there was a rush of officers everywhere. He smiled to himself. Whatever they had seen was probably all they needed too. The Captain was there as well. He put out his hand to Micha at the top of the driveway. “We got them because of you and your wife. I can’t thank you enough.” “I don’t really know what you are talking about, but I am glad I co

Micha was on his feet almost the entire day. The words from the old man as he looked at him still haunted him. He looked at his house and knew that the last transport truck was right behind him. He parked in the back of the house and then walked around the house to find his wife directing traffic like she was the ultimate supervisor. She was smiling at everyone and looking over the animals. She turned when he took a step onto the porch where she was at. “I thought I told you to stay inside.” He said as he looked at her. Then he looked at what was propped up on her leg, and he chuckled. “Of course, you would find a way to get around the one request I had for you.” “Micha, what is it?” She asked as she looked at his face. The lines were a little deeper as he looked at her. His head hurt. “They are sick,” Micha said. “I never thought I was really putting you in danger when I took you there last night. Sophia, you save

“What?” she asked as she looked at him. “I love you.” He said as he stood up and then kissed her. “I couldn’t have this dream come true without you.” “Well, Micha, our hobby farm just became a real one.” She said as he kissed him back, and then the two just stood there with her in front of him, leaning on his chest. “Ma will like it here now.” He laughed, and she laughed as well. “She did call it better than anyone else in the family. She knew that this was going to be our life as well.” “Of course it was going to be.” She replied as she laughed. “Micha, we were born to do this. We have your beef cows. We have milk cows. We have horses, alpacas, goats, and all those birds.” “No tot mention a few sheep.” He said. “Sheep?” she asked. “Surprise.” He replied as she was shaking her head. “Where are they?” she asked. “On their way here, not today.” He replied. “Micha Moran.” She said as she look

Micha sat at the table and began to dish out the food. As he watched Sophia go over the paperwork piece by piece as he got the food ready for them. “The records are in good order from all I can see. I will get them all digital this week.” “You can rest tomorrow.” He said, and she looked at him and shook her head. “Micha, I know you have been through a lot today, but we also just took on a bunch of animals I wasn’t planning on having. We still have a few months before we really have to think about prepping for the winter with all of them.” Sophia said. “I know you have things on your mind, but I have to do the planning.” “Baby, I know,” Micha said as he looked at her. “You have the animals to think about now. I get that I forgot how much I just added to your plate.” “That doesn’t matter to me. You should know that. I told you to get them all. I don’t even matter that you brought the birds back. I don’t think this has anyth
