Chapter 9
The week-end was over. Tony and his group started toward home. Dave cooked a big meal and was just waiting for the group to arrive. There was a knock on the door. Dave went to answer. Two men were standing there and they flashed FBI badges.
"We would like to talk to Mrs. DeWeese and her son. It is rather urgent." Dave started to say that there was no Mrs. DeWeese at this residence, when his Mom came rushing to his side.
"Dave, it is ok. Come in guys and shut the door. This must really important."
"Mrs. DeWeese, you must get ready to leave immediately. There are 3 men not to far behind us that are out to do harm. Your husband has organized a big movement to find the three of you. They have orders to kill everyone in the house. That goes for this young man here, also anyone else who might be here."
"Are you sure?" asked Mrs. DeWeese.
"We are positive. I intercepted an e-mail sent from prison by you husband. It seems as if we have a leak somewhere in our system and until we find who it is. You will be taken to a new place which will be known only to the two of us. We will be by your side until we catch the culprits! You have 5 minutes to pack."
"Oh, Dave, I am so sorry. We will schedule another get-together. Love you, son. Say a prayer or two for us." With that she rushed from the room to pack her bags. Jerry and Lucy were already packing their.
"You will be ok here by yourself, There is a swat team of officers on the way. Just don't take any chances and above all, do not give out any information of any kind. We will contact you later. All we need is a phone number. Is there room in the garage for two big vehicles?" "Yes, Sir. I have to call friends who were on their way here for dinner."
"Just open the garage door and make you call. Wait for you uninvited guest to arrive." Everyone was gone in the space of about 3 minutes. "Martha, This is Dave. Put the phone on speaker and hurry please. There is no time to waste."
"Dave, what is going on. You have scared me out of my wits. It is on speaker now."
"Tony, you have to trust me and follow my instructions exactly. Just let me do the talking. My dad has organized a hit team from prison. They have orders kill my mother and friend and anyone else in the house. The FBI have taken Mom , my friend and his wife. They have put them in hiding. You must turn around immediately and go back to the cabin. Under no circumstances are you to come home or even call. Do not give out any information to anyone. I will be up later, when all of this settled. Martha, you had just better learn to relax. I have a FBI swat team on the way. So I am in no danger at the moment. That is all subject to change. If you don't see me tonight, the FBI will be contacting you. Love all of you and Martha take Ellen's hand and start saying a prayer. I think I will need all the help I can get. Bye, Love you all!"
I saw a car pull into the garage. I knew right away that it did not belong to the swat team. It just didn't fit the description. I went into my bedroom and got my pistol. I made sure that it was loaded and went into the kitchen and hid behind the breakfast bar. I had a clear view of the door leading to the garage.
I did not have to wait long. The door slowly opened. I waited until all three men were inside. "Alright, hit the floor on your bellies! Hands above your head at arms length! Do it now or you will get a bullet through you heart!. Don't even think that I won't shoot because I will and I know how to use this gun! I said NOW!"
Two guys immediately fell to the floor and were following my instructions. The third guy took a step toward me holding a gun. I fired and hit him in the leg. Hit the floor or the next slug will be in your heart!" I must have made a believer out of him because the next thing I knew he was on the floor with his companions, screaming in pain. "Don't even move a muscle unless you want more of the same. We will just wait until the FBI arrive and then they can take over."
"You won't have a wait because we are here now." said one of the men showing his badge. "We can take over now. I must say that was mighty fine job that you just did. Have you had police or military training."
"No, not a bit. I learned everything from my father."
Soon all three men were in handcuffs and the paramedics were working on the wounded man's leg and were trying to stop the bleeding. I had just given him a flesh wound and had missed the bone completely. They were successful and finally had stopped the bleeding. Now all I had to do was clean up the mess in the kitchen.
The FBI agent in charge wanted to talk with me about the whole situation. My dad had been put in solitaire confinement. He was to have no contact with the outside world, no internet, phone or visitors. The agent thought that this would go on for a long period of time. He wanted a statement from me and said that he would come to the house tomorrow morning around ten.
Dad did have television and would be seeing all of this on the TV. He would be having fits when he did see it. We should be able to hear him yelling all the way from the prison. Serves him right. Now Mom and I are getting even with him.
The first thing I had to do was call Tony. "Hi, Tony. Do you have the speakers on? Good! I hope that Martha and Ellen are listening. I am sure that they are dying of curiosity. Things here have been anything but dull. I told them what had transpired. Relax Martha, I don't have even one little scratch. There is a man with a bullet in his leg. Yes, I shot him and will tell you all about it when I get there! Don't worry about the blood because I have already cleaned the floor. Three men where on their way to kill my mother and friend when I called before and had you go back. I didn't want you here and risk the chance of the three of you getting hurt or worse. The FBI were able to get Mom and my friend out of the house. I will be on my way and will see you shortly. Martha, don't fix anything for dinner. I have a complete dinner cooked and will bring it with me. Later, I love all of you. Tony, don't drink all the rum save me enough for a rum and coke. I will need it after all the excitement I've had today. Bye, Love you all!"
The drive to the lake gave me time to think and screw my head back on correctly, I arrived at the cabin. I sensed that something was wrong. No one came out to meet me. I shut the car off and went running into the cabin. I was afraid of what I might find.
When I open my eyes. I discovered that I had fainted and had fallen to the floor. A strange man was putting smelling salts under my nose. I got the surprise of my life. There sat Mom, Jerry and Lucy. Martha, Ellen and Tony were standing behind them. There were two other men in the room beside the one with the smelling salts. He help me to my feet and I was mobbed by all six of my loved ones. The agents had already told my family everything. They were getting a blow by blow account of what had happened.
"Someone had better clue me in to what is happening. I don't know how much more I can take!" Dave exclaimed. The Agent took control and told me that they had performed a complete background check on everyone except Ellen and they didn't know that she was here. They knew about the cabin. They had been trailing the would be killers and when they were getting close, Mom, Jerry, and Lucy were taken from the house and were brought to the cabin. They were here when Tony drove up. They wanted to make sure that I didn't know where Mom had been taken. That way I could not let any thing slip and say the wrong thing.
They knew that I was in no danger because the swat team was already in place. What they didn't count on was me taking matters in my own hands and putting the would-be-killers out of commission.
The FBI were going to relocate Mom here at the lake just as soon as the trader was captured. The man that I shot named the trader and he has been arrested. So now Mom should be safe.
Tony had called Mary and found she had another cabin not very far from Tony's. However, the price was a more than he paid for his. The FBI said they would pay for it, which will save them a lot of money in the long run. Mom said that she was putting her house on the market and when it sold, she could reimburse some or all of the money. So Tony just bought another one and now owns two cabins on Loon Lake. All that is left is signing the final papers and completing the transaction.
"I think that I will go in and heat the dinner and we can all eat. Tony, I think you had better make a trip to the store and get some paper plates and plastic eating utensils."
"Won't have to. Jeff and Mary just drove up. I called and had them bring some out, along with things from the deli to help extend the dinner you had cooked. We knew there would be several extra mouths to feed.
After dinner, the entire group sat around talking and sipping a rum and coke. What started out as a big disaster, turned out to have an enjoyable and happy ending. Life is very unpredictable and can change in a twinkling of an eye.
In the early evening, Dave's cell rang. "Hello, Dave speaking. You have to be kidding. What time do you want me. I have a couple of friends who can help me out. That will be just fine. See you at 5:00. Good-bye."
"That was the restaurant calling they want me to cook a dinner tomorrow night. Lucy and Ellen are you up to being my helpers and serve as waitresses. You will receive wages plus tips. We should receive about $300 which we will split 3 ways."
"Count me in." Said Lucy .
"Gee, I am sorry . Jeff and I have already made plans to go to dinner and take in a movie. Maybe next time." Ellen responded.
"Dave, Could you use a waiter? Heaven only knows that I could sure use the money." Asked Jerry. "In my younger days, I worked as a waiter until your dad got me fired."
"Sure can. Hungry people aren't fussy as long as they have food in front of them and their coffee cups or wine glasses kept filled. I know where you are coming from on the money angle. My wallet is very thin. If fact is it plain flat." Exclaimed Dave.
