Mordecai ~ Early the next morning<br/><br/>The special examination room door opened quietly. Mordecai push and stepped out wiping the last of the blood from his fingers onto the towel. He tossed it in the dirty linen basket just outside the door in the hallway.<br/><br/>No need to lock it. She wouldn't be up for a few hours and no one would bother her. The team had their bitches for a free day to do whatever the hell they wanted with them.  The sky was the limit. The team had successfully pulled off this job and required a full day of rewards before the serious training began. Today it was feed and water the bitches by hand and ride 'em like they were fifty miles of dirt road.<br/><br/>Mordecai thought about the damn laptop. He'd let the Rev play with Maddy today. Then tomorrow there would be some questions she couldn't refuse to answer.  Besides he had two days before help arrived. The holidays were taking an upswing and this should all work out so very well or it would work exceptionally well.<br/><br/>After all, Mordecai thought, what the hell could go wrong?<br/><br/>He put on his sun glasses and stepped out into the morning sun. The sky was peachy and robin's egg blue.  The rhyme of the seaman came to him as he looked west.<br/><br/>Red sky in the morning... sailors take warning.<br/><br/>He froze in his tracks. There on the horizon very very faint was the wisp of a dirt cloud trail where no trail should be rising. He moved instinctively toward the small locker by the barn and opened the door. Binoculars in hand he turned back to the west for a better look.<br/><br/>Adjusting the vision he could just barely make out the shape of a black Audi. It looked like the newer ones he'd seen on line. That black Audi was coming in this direction. More precisely that black Audi was making a B line to the entrance gate of the ranch.<br/><br/>"Oh hell," He whispered and watched it approach hoping he was wrong.<br/><br/>
