Chapter 30

Monday

READY TO HIT the road,Jake?”Josh said,as he rinsed his breakfast plate off in the sink.

“Give me a minute to brush my teeth,and I’m ready.

“I need to take care of that little chore myself,so I’m right behind you.

“Where are we meeting Sam and Marty?”

“At the warehouse,”Josh said.

“I guess the work of this valley sort of revolves around that warehouse,doesn’t it?”Jake said.

“You bet your butt it does.That’s why we have a guard on it 24/7.”

Their conversation had carried them into the bathroom,and when they’d taken care of business,they headed outside with Rex at their heels.

“Rex seems to be unusually happy this morning,”Jake said.

“He likes to travel,and he always seems to know when we’re planning to leave on a mission.”

“Smart dog.”

Josh had already pulled the van around to the front of the house,so all they had to do was secure the house,get in the van and drive down the valley.They found Marty and Samwaiting for them at the warehouse.
