Chapter 40

“I paid a visit on Cyrus Hall. He lives on his property, just up the mountain from you. Mean old coot. Told me he wasn’t interested in selling anything and ordered me off his property. The couple in Florida, however, is amenable to an offer.”

We spent a few minutes discussing what we thought would be a reasonable offer and authorized Hugh to extend it on our behalf. “What about the other guy?” Hugh said.

“You’ve met the twins that did all that work for us?”

“Sure,” he said. “Zeb and Zack.”

“Zeb and Zeke,” I said. “We’ll go have a chat with their mother. She might know the guy, since they’re practically neighbors.”

“Good luck,” he said.
