Havoc
The call comes in just after noon.
Aspen.
Her voice is tight.
“You might want to come out here.”
That’s never a sentence that ends well.
I grab my truck keys.
Wolf climbs in beside me without asking questions.
“What happened?”
“Don’t know yet.”
But my gut already says otherwise.
We reach the farm in a few minutes.
Aspen is standing outside the barn.
Arms folded.
Looking worried.
Dylan is bouncing beside her like he’s just discovered buried treasure.
Buddy sits proudly at his feet.
Aspen walks over.
“We found something.”
She leads us into the barn.
The lockbox sits on a workbench.
Old.
Military grade.
My stomach drops.
I recognize the model immediately.
“Where did this come from?” Wolf asks.
“Under the floor,” Aspen says.
Dylan beams.
“Buddy found it!”
