Chapter 7
Rex tapped the door
handle and watched as Larry made his way up to the huge log cabin. Moments
later a man with the exact hair color and facial structure as Rex’s mother
exited the cabin. He came to the edge of the porch and stood with his arms
behind his back. His back made him appear as tall as Rex’s mother, but she had
an inch on him. He bore her same eyes and lips. They could have been twins if
he had boobs.
What was going on? Mom
said the people he would stay with were friends. This guy looked more like a relative.
Not to mention they bore the same last name. Had mom lied to him? She wouldn’t
have. Would she?
Larry and the new guy had
a conversation for a moment then Larry came back down to the car. He opened the
door and waved Rex out.
“You have been honored
and Mr. Chamberland has come out to greet you.”
Honored? Wasn’t it polite
for him to greet his guest?
“Follow me and remain
silent until Mr. Chamberland has spoken to you.” Larry’s eye deep and intense
eyes told Rex how important that command had been.
Rex’s skin felt like
fingers tickled across it as his head throbbed so hard a bomb might be readying
itself to explode. He’d never felt so much tightness coursing through him. Nor had
he experienced the dire urge to charge the man in front of him. The man was bigger
than him, but the way he held himself screamed weakness. There was no air of
authority or desire to respect. Not that there should have been. Rex hadn’t
even met the man. New nothing about him. Nor was he one to gage or size up a
man by his appearance, but something about the man’s set in stone glare set Rex’s
teeth on edge. Something deep inside him longed to knock some sense into the
man and teach him how to respect those who . . . who what? His mind screamed
outranked him, but there was no rank among people. Not strangers at least.
“I assume you are
Daniella’s child.”
Why would he not know that?
Mom had been in touch with him. She told me her friend expected him.
“Can you not speak when
spoken to?”
The sharp command pulled
a small snarl from him, which had Mr. Chamberland stepping down. “Do not dare
to presume to push your power on me. You are nothing here. Get it through your
head now.”
Power? What was the man
going on about?
“While you are here,
Larry will be your escort. When he is not with you, you will remain in your
cabin. There will be no wondering around the lands. Are we clear?”
“Mom told me I was to be
shown around her homeland, while I am here. If that is not the case, then I
will schedule me a flight home.” There was no way he’d stay where he was not wanted.
Or where a man wanted to shove him inside a cabin for an entire three months.
“You will do as I tell
you. Your mother was granted the right to send you here by our father, and I
will uphold that, even if I do not wish to do so.”
He was not wanted here.
Rex was kin to the man. Mom had lied to him. Just great. He was spending his summer
before college in some hidden away town in the mountains with people who did
not want him to leave a cabin. Just great.
“Sir,” A young woman
smiled down at him as she held a phone out to Mr. Chamberland.
“Take a message.” He
snapped.
“I’m afraid it is
important, Sir.”
“Who is it?”
“Dalton from his office,
Sir. He has news you must hear.”
“Stay there.” He pointed
at me and then to a man wearing a gun belt low on his hips, who stood on the
left edge of the house. “Keep an eye on him.” He waved Larry to follow him back
inside the house.
