In His Refuge

Ellie peered over the front seat to catch a glimpse of what lies beyond the iron barred gates that the sheriff's car had stopped in front of.

The sheriff rolled down the window of his side and pressed a yellow button on a boxlike thing in front of the gate.

Ellie noticed the camera that was attached to the gate as well and she could see the narrow path that laid ahead the gate with greenery on both sides. On the right there were large trees, it was basically the deep woods while on the left there was a range of small bushes that went in and on as if never ending in straight lanes and they seemed well kept and trimmed, it was clear that it was a field of something.

/"What is growing here?/" Ellie asked Beau.

/"Oh, it's all a coffee farm, Jason owns all of this land/" Beau replied and Ellie's eyes widened at his answer.
