Love at the Fair

Nightmares

Blake

Adding to my already delayed shitty day of second spot set up the issues with the green help and spot hands triggered me bad today i hated it. I mentally thought of my calm my raven hair beauty and her smell to release my serotonin levels to even me out today. I know this school spot is a quick cash grab spot for us and a filler but I'd rather have a 4 day run any dam day.

Uncle Jay called me while on location to tell me he seen some new guys roll up to the shop right after we left, I didn't know of anyone else that was suppose to join us.

Sorry Jay say that again someone's at the shop

Yea B man want me to roll up there and see what they want your dad never mention keep an eye out for someone

Yea and call dad he's like 10 mins out to grab the last load

Great now another issue of copper poacher's rolling up midway lane f*****g lovely. We had gotten wind a couple weeks ago from a another shop that they got hit and about 500 pounds of copper lead lines were taken out of main shop and what few rides they had pulled out to start working on. It immediately put dad on high alert and he had us alternating nights walking the fields until season and help showed. I knew a lot of my anger issues was lack of sleep but deep down it was starting to eat at me how much my family really didn't respect me and the job I do but GOD forbid I remotely slacked off I never hear the end of anything.

Scrambling to get up from the ground and fixing lead lines I walked over to my mom and Tony and whispered call dad

Mom looked at me walked away from Tony and made her call.

...

When dad rolled up to the shop cops where 5 mins out behind him and he quickly grabbed the mens attention with his loud diesel he blocked there car from leaving.

Hey boys you guys looking for work for the season

they all looked at each other and started walking towards him Nah man we were looking for our friend Freddy he said he was 3 driveway up the road here he just called us, this kid couldn't be more then a buck twenty weight wise stringy hair and defiantly tweaking and shaking as he approached me the other 3 dudes with him all similar builds bugged eye.

Well guys there's no rooms up this way don't make any sense why you would walk out that way

Jay pulled in and blocked the car from the opposite direction

Hey boss man we get some new help

Nah cuz looks like they're here to link up with a crew man that I don't employee, you got a Freddy working for you this year

Nope not this year let him go couple nights ago when he rolled up with stuff I don't want around my girls

The boys kept creeping closer and closer to their vehicle

That's wild they just said Freddy called them and told them third driveway and he was waiting for them wonder where Freddy is lets walk around the shop and see if we can find him shall we

Jay flanked the other side of Davis and walked the guys around the shop from the direction they just came from and immediately noticed the wires on the ground

Well would you look at that Boss man I don't think they were looking for a Freddy at all unless his name is copper

I think your right Cuz and I'm not a big fan of thief's wonder what we should do with these guys

Makes you wonder how they tripped Jay swung and knocked two of them straight to the ground Davis swung and knocked the other two down taking them out at the knees and punching one of them square in the nose.

I am so sick of this s**t you let all the other f*****g tweakers know this shops not open for poaching and you will get your rocks knocked off we old school boys you tripped and got fat lips

Jay made sure each boy walked away with fat lips and black eyes. Cops rolled in just as Jay and Davis were escorting the guys back towards their car.

What happened here Davis

Oh I found them like this seems like they had a small disagreement about how many wires they could steal I walked up on it Jay help me break it up.

Is that so how you doing Mr. Jay

They shook hands with the two show owners on midway lane and exchanged information and made arrangement's for the car to be towed.

Well we got a decent little bust today boys you guys been busy down this road this week we've been waiting for you to break and just so happened you got busted today by owners of the property.

All four guys sat in the back seat wide eye screaming, but they beat our ass were pressing charges on them

Sorry guys looks like you were fighting over the copper you were trying to steal.

They slammed the doors shut on the guys had Jay and Davis sign a couple papers and Davis headed back to the school spot to set his last ride on the lot.

...

When dad rolled back in he was chuckling and in a good mood he didn't immediately track me down he found mom first and I knew he was going to have a family meeting tonight over what he walked into at the shop. I redirected my energy to getting the remaining rides set. I worked fast and steady and was all but done when the softest hand and most amazing smell entered my zone I was in

Hello Gorgeous you've been working hard today

I help Mellow after I finished my work she said

She got on with what she needed and I felt myself getting angry at the extra work but she never left my side she helped me every step of the way and kept me calm incase I exploded at someone's negligence.

I grabbed the busted motorcycle and chucked it in the back seat of my truck I felt her slip into the back seat of my rig and sit quietly. Her presence instantly calmed me what is this she devil doing to me to my mind and body its so overwhelming sometimes.

We got back to the shop and dad pulled me to the side and had me follow him,

We walked up on tweakers stealing wire well attempting to anyways Uncle Jay and I whopped them up good

that explains his good mood when he got to hit someone it always made him happy I wished he learned to hit boxing bags or walls and not people but I guess in a sense that's where my anger hitting comes from.

How much did they have dragged out?

So much and its crazy they dug it from the trenches too they moved quick were gonna have to get the crew out here to rerun leads to the bunk houses.

Blake I think we're going to have to hire full time security this season its getting costly to chase off unwanted people

We can always leave behind one of our own crew this season each spot switch them out and they would never know whos gonna be here.

That's actually not a bad idea but I got a couple coming in from West Virginia with little to know experience I'm thinking about putting them up in the house up front and letting them run security while were gone, be helpful to them and to us this season.

Lets see if we have the revenue to hire them for full time security dad we cant just assume well have the extra funding to do that all hands on deck or at least make them work local spots and split spots to keep them busy,

Blake this is my show son

With that I walked away in a huff looking for my peace she wasn't at her house when i walked over to get her.

I got a gut sinking feeling she was hanging with the crew and the new hires which were all teenage boys around her age , of course she would want someone her own age she's repeat told me I'm only her friend. God I'm a f*****g moron thinking this girl would want me.

I walked towards the bunks to see what the crew was into and smelled the weed immediately I know Jacks and Wheezy were lite already but I was surprised to see William sitting there smoking away.

BOSS BABY lol what you doing down here they isn't no hot little ass running around here

without second thought my fist slammed him squared in the jaw

Wheezy grabbed me by my wrist before I could draw back again

He isn't worth it man he's stoned out of his mind and talking s**t he don't know any better

I know I huffed off and kept looking for her listening to see if I could hear in the mix of crew and I didn't find her

I just texted her when I reached the end of the bunks and hadn't found her yet.

Ris are you with Kelly getting food??? Wanted to take you for tacos tonight...

Sorry B I'm with your mom going over some stuff be right there can we shower first???

I walked so fast to get to my moms place it never dawned on me she would be with my mom I walked up on her and Granny Gene and Mellow sitting with mom at her picnic table and a pile of papers set between them.

What's going on ladies

My mom being herself said if you were meant to know don't you think we invite you to the powwow

I laughed knowing she was teasing me, Sorry ma'am meant no disrespect

She nodded in my directions

Sorry B Ill get ready and we can go get tacos

SHITTTT I'm going to give me 20 mins I want to get some real food, Granny Gene jumped up and headed to shower to go

I looked at him smiled shook my head, she's stubborn no point in fighting it

Mellow would you like to go for tacos too I asked her as she was starting to walk away

She shrugged at me and said, sure first time ever being invited by you somewhere

I looked at my mom and wondered out loud, Am I really that mean and standoffish the crew don't know how to respond to me

I think they aren't use to you wanting to hang out at all

I've never really had anything in common with the crew before honestly

She's changing you and she's only known you 20 days Blake what's that say about her

Apparently I'm a nightmare but I don't scare her

Apparently
