“Ziggy is going to come and sit with her until she wakes up,” Zion informs me as we stroll to the kitchen.
“I’ll get her after church. I texted Jace to have the blueprints and maps of the land at church.”
“Thanks. Dixon said he had the deed with all the acreage. It’s massive, more than she thinks,” he says.
“How much we talking?”
“Dixon thought 500, it’s closer to 1000. Her land skirts the border for miles,” he replies and I think my heart stopped. Plum owns a shit ton of land.
“Whoa.”
“That’s what I was thinking but something else came out,” he snorts.
Everyone is sitting outside, coffee in hand. Sawyer and Gage are in the kitchen with Noah, constantly filling mugs or whatever they can find for the guys to use.
“I saved two mugs for you,” Gage pours us both coffee, handing us two mugs.
“Thanks,” Zion ruffles his hair and nods at Noah.
“Zoe and Lyra went with Trick to get breakfast. We didn’t want to use up what you bought the other day,” Sawyer tells us. We did buy enough to feed a small army but we’re going to need more.
“You’re going to have to make a run today with the other prospects,” Zion hands his mug to Gage for a refill.
“I’ll ask everyone what kinds of things they like before we go,” Sawyer replies.
“I’ll send in the other prospects. Start the list,” I say, and we head outside.
“Jones and Riley, head inside,” I point at them, and they rush off as Zion raps his hand on the table to get everyone’s attention.
“All right, I know what everyone said last night, but this is for an official vote on moving the mother chapter to here. If some want to stay in Louisiana, that will be another chapter of the club. Those for the move, raise of hands.”
I watch as every hand goes up. Not one ‘no’. Guess we’re moving.
“I don’t have to ask who is opposed. Now what to do to bring in some income besides illegal art. We’re still on top of that. Ziggy?”
“I already contacted our supplier and had everything rerouted here. Libra is already working on the paintings,” he replies.
“Jace, plans?”
He spreads out the maps used when Plum went missing and we can see the property lines.
“I can build there,” Gator points out the small pond that a small creek runs into. I think it looks like it runs into the Medina Watershed.
We could build a slide into the pond if it’s deep enough.
“Can we figure out how deep it is?” I look at Gator.
“I’ll get some guys to help me, why?”
“I think we could put a slide in, maybe a floatation device in the center for fun. I wonder if the creek has fish.”
“I’ll check on that,” Ziggy takes off. I see him signal inside to Gage and Noah who follow him.
“We could do stable rides and rodeos,” Diablo says, and I look to Sawyer.
“We will have to build a separate arena for that and stalls, but it can be done,” he informs me.
“Make it happen. If you have to go to horse auctions or whatever, let me know,” I wave him off so he can go talk to the man who runs the stables. A few guys follow him, including Ranger and Tex. Both were in rodeo in high school.
