.”We walked out of the office door. I hollered, questioning if anybody else needed inside. There was a bit of activity around the plane as the Gleas...n and Johnson clans showed up.No takers, so Cindy and I walked back out to the plane.“How are we on fuel?” I asked.“Enough to get to New Mexico,” she said. “Full when I left. Plenty. And I hate payin’ the prices some of those FBOs charge.”I sort of chuckled. “Six hundred bucks an hour and you’re concerned about fuel costs?”“First, dearie,” she. “Just ring him back and get back in here with me,” he said as he hit the off button and the burbling waters stilled. “Fuck you!” I almost shouted. “Tanya, calm down, he’ll never know.” This I believe was meant to be re-assuring, but to me it wasn’t. “What? How can you be so fucking calm? You’re married too! It’s not your wife on the phone!” “Just ring him back and get back here.” This was a moment of realisation for me. To Dale, I wasn’t a person. I was a merely a piece of female meat. Someone. He also said he would scramble two more teams from San Diego and get them out to me immediately. I told him to have them come in with the local Sheriff and his Deputies as soon as they landed. I then called Butch and he said that the Special Teams were still with him at the gulch eating. I brought him up to speed and told him they were to come in from the gate we used yesterday. If they were accosted, they were to take prisoners but if they were shot at, they should return fire and keep on. So Cait said “Well?” and I just said “You know, it's nothing really. It can wait” and she shrugged.Then we just sat there and looked out the window down at the gym and a few minutes later her dad went over to the wall to stretch and Cait said “Finally” and we got up and ran down the stairs and in to the locker room and in there we hid behind our wall and waited and I thought; She likes watching you do stuff to her dad so maybe she'll like it about her mom too and maybe she'll even want to watch.
