“He can room with her, but they allneed to clean up and get new clothing first.We’ll need someone incharge of the laundry.There’ll be a lot of it.”
“Georgia does the laundry for thealpha’s house.”Rosey observed.
“That’s great.She’ll know whereeverything is.”
“If she hadn’t, someone would havehelped you.”
“I’m sure you would have.After weeat, let’s start to get people settled for the night.”
It wasn’t long before they got startedand settled Georgia in a suite with a crib.Her other olderchildren would have a sleeping bag.It wasn’t ideal.But it was agreat deal better than before.Mary got the next suite with thesame set up.
“We need to look at the attic now.”Bindi directed.
Rosey led her up there and there wereseveral beds, dressers, an antique crib and other helpful items.“How did you know?”
“I’ve seen several atticsattics, andmost people store items in them like furniture until they decidewhat to do with them.We need two guys to move some things, butthese bunk beds stay up here, and two dressers do as well.Thesingle guys can stay up here for now.Eventually I hope people willhave houses or at least apartments.”
“You mean that?”Rosey asked lookinghopeful.
“As long as the money holds out.We’llalso develop some businesses so people can make money of theirown.”
“Aren’t you afraid they won’t need youanymore?”
“I’ve seen some well runwell-runpacks.Someone is always needed to run things.It’s like a mayor, Iguess is to humans.If our people are independent and happy, that’sa good thing.”Bindi explained.
“Does alpha feel the sameway?”
“He does.It’ll be okay.It will justtake some time to recover from what Al did here.”Bindi noticedthese people were nervous and kept expecting something bad to takeall the good away.
The attic ended up with two bunkbedsand the restrest, if there were more guys staying up here werestuck with sleeping bags.Those rooms on the two bottom floors gotbeds and some of the women had to share beds.They didn’t seem tomind but Bindi wanted to improve the situation as quickly aspossible.
People were stuck on the couch and afew even on the floor in sleeping bags but they seemed happy to beallowed there.It was sad in a way that they were so pleased aboutanything thrown at them.But she was aware these were consideredthe bottom of the totem pole.Those in a better position would beharder to deal with.They might even feel threatened that thesepeople were being raised to the level of what Bindi considereddecency.
Some pizza was saved for Duroc andthose with him.Marissa had stood back and not done much.“I almostforgot you were here.You got some pizza and a drink,right?”
“Watching you come into your own was agood experience.Yes, I was fed and taken care of.”Marissaanswered.
“Who is she?”Rosey asked.It was nosurprise she was curious.
“Have you heard of a warden namedDamon?”
“Yes, he’s a McDougal, isn’the?”
“He is and Marissa is his mate.”Bindireplied.
“But isn’t she, you know, awitch?”
“Yes, she is.Don’t worry.She onlyuses her powers for good.”
Rosey looked at her.“I don’t thinkI’ve ever seen a witch.You look normal.”
“Thank you.I’d like to think I am.”Marissa answered.
“Aren’t you a white wolftoo?”
“I am.”
“Do you know Ariel?”Roseyasked.
