Nadine was smiling, though clearly still emotional. “We’ve agreed to meet.”

=/\=Okay, here’s my thought and either of you can veto any part of it. I say we do it here. Nadine, it’s just Micah and I out here on eighty acres and we have transportation anywhere we need to go, so you can leave anytime you want. But… it’s beautiful here and it’s nice place for quiet and the kind of conversations we need to have. No one rushing us. However, I got a message that the uppers want to have a chin-wag tomorrow, but I told them I’ll do it from out here. Drixton is involved which means a more serious talk and he’s the kind of person who likes to toss the book at people on a whim. Now, admittedly I’ve been a bad girl lately, but it was sort of understood we all would let it be. But in case it’s not, well, they’ll have to come all the way out to Tennessee to arrest me. So win-win in my books!=/\= Shara said with a laugh.

Nadine looked at Micah and mouther Is she serious?. “Uh, I can have a free schedule. I mean, I have school, but I haven’t taken any days off at all this year and I have a great sub so I can clear it with my principal and be somewhat flexible.

~Shara & Nadine

Micah took a breath. He hated the idea of bringing anyone else out to the homestead… but, circumstances what they were…

=/\= Okay. Tell ya what. Nadine, you call your school. Tell ‘em you have a family emergency… not really a lie. I’ll take ya back to your place, you can throw a bag together for a couple’a days. Shara, we’ll stop and grab the piano and then head back. But Nadine, this is my condition. No comms, no messages… no telling anybody where you’re off to. This is the deal. Shara and I, well, we’ve led a colorful life. Certain precautions s have to be taken. If your good with that, we can leave right now. =/\=

Nadine looked at, no stared at Micah. They were serious! Well, she said she was in, didn’t she? And she knew next to nothing about these people, so who was she to object? She laughed a bit. “Well, today has been an adventure already, might as well keep it going! Why not, let’s do it.”

Shara was grinning widely, despite the reality of what was about to happen sitting under the surface. =/\=I got it all fixed up. There’s a nice baby grand delivered to the point we mentioned. The guy who I bought it from was dismayed I wouldn’t let him send out a tuner to make sure it was perfect. I told him to make it spic and span before it left and you’d treat it as if it were your own baby. You will treat it like it’s your own baby, won’t you Husband?=/\= she said, teasing and entirely not. =/\=Oh! And a friend at HQ of mine is sending a crate to that same spot as well. Cleaned out my locker.=/\= Her voice changed, dropping in brightness, ever so slightly more somber.
