Wyoming Trucking, 2 free porn video

Wyoming Trucking, 2 By: Malissa Madison I dropped Red and Rose at school, then we pulled in at the clinic. Janet said she had forgotten about Dr Cambridge practicing here. It was obvious that Janet had grown up there, even the Dr's receptionist recognized her. "Missy, Darlene," he began as he stepped out into the waiting area. "Janet? I heard you were back. Then he looked at Raven studying her face intrigued momentarily. "Raven, how you've grown into such a pretty girl." "You know who I am?" "I helped your mother give birth to you. I was the first one to smack that cute little bottom too." she blushed. "So I take it you've been Blessed as well?" "Yes Sir," she giggled shyly. "Ok I'll need to see your prescriptions and the name of the doctor you've been seeing." He told her. "I, I don't have a Doctor or a prescription," she admitted. He suddenly grew worried and said, "You girls growing up away from the reservation never understand how complicated all this is or how dangerous it can be." He looked at his nurse. "Magpie, we need-" "Four vials, yes I know the routine," she assured him. "Chasing Shadows, you might as well go first. This will take a few minutes." "Who's Chasing Shadows?" asked Raven but then saw Darlene hurrying into the exam room. By the time we were finished Dr Cambridge had filled out prescriptions for Raven and adjusted Darlene's a little bit higher. He'd given Raven the same shot he now gave Darlene, to jump start her Estrogen since she'd not had any for a couple of weeks. And both girls were given an excuse from school. With a giggle Darlene said, "You haven't even enrolled and you already have an excuse for missing today." That was our next stop, to enroll Raven into high school. The principals name was Spotted Owl, and she recognized Janet right away, the two having gone to school together. We were getting ready to leave when she asked if she could speak with Janet. "Do you still have your Teaching Degree?" "Yes but I don't want to push anyone out of a job." "Janet, we have need of another Eighth grade teacher. The current class is almost twice the size it should be. Please say yes." "I still have to find a place to live, and, and my divorce isn't final yet." "So you'll start Monday, and we'll help you find a place. And when you need to go to court, you'll have Tommy White Eagle representing you." Spotted Owl wasn't giving her a chance to back down. and I knew the school really did need her. The problem of where for them to live was solved by Red Wing that evening. "Mom, we still have the old house," by that he was referring to the one he and Rose had been born in. Tim and I had had it cleaned and remodeled. But no one wanted to live there very long. Everyone was looking for one they could buy but Red wanted to keep it for when He or Rose got married. True it was over fifteen miles away by road, but it was only a quarter mile if you crossed over the top of the hill. Red and Rose had, over the years created a path, after Tim had shown them on the maps. And now he showed both Darlene and Raven. Raven was truly excited the next morning, she changed outfits five times before Sleeping Dog arrived to drive them all to school in the families minivan. While they were gone Janet and I began the chore of cleaning the house getting it ready for them to move in. I was busy noting all the things I wanted to have done first, like replacing the water heater. Changing the batteries in the generator, filling the connected woodshed for winter. I checked the existing appliances, making sure they worked properly. And aside from one lone ratty looking chair in the living room there was no other furniture. We'd definitely have to do something about that. We made good headway, cleaning the walls, ceilings and floors. I was washing the windows while Janet washed the Curtains. I'd just taken down the last set, and hearing the washing machine switching from rinse to spin I carried them into the utility room for her. She was half leaned over the machine, her pelvis pressed tightly to the corner and she was moaning softly. I recognized it for what it was, having done the same a few times in Tim's absence. Not saying a word I carefully wrapped myself around her pressing her harder into the gyrating machine. When she started, trying to back away I nuzzled her neck. "Go with it, let it wash away all that pent up tension," I murmured as I rubbed up against her slowly caressing her breasts from behind teasing her hardened nipples as she let herself go riding the washing machines spin cycle from one small orgasm to the next. "Ohh, oh god that was better than any man ever was," she panted. I carefully turned her around in my arms, and she looked away in embarrassment. "Janet, you don't need to be embarrassed with me." I kissed her softly letting my hand rub her back. "M, Missy I, I've never been with a woman before. I don't know how, I don't even know why I want it now." I looked deep in her eyes. "Shhh, let me help you," I kissed her passionately, my hands roaming over her body, small kisses as I made my way behind my hands as they slowly stripped away her clothing. She was naked against the doorframe as I pushed my face between her quivering thighs. "Oh fuuuuuckkkkkkkkkk," she moaned as I kissed her tiny clit, my tongue curling around it as I sucked it out from under the hood of flesh. "I, I, ohh, shit I never had any, anyone do that beforrrrrrrrre." Pressing my nose to it I let my tongue worm into the depths of her velvety folds, and her knees collapsed in orgasm. I wasted no time leaning back laying on the floor as I pulled her over my face. My head twisting and shaking as I sucked and licked her from one orgasm to the next. My tongue sore, my nose feeling mashed, I finally closed my teeth around that pearly nub, biting softly as I sucked harder. Collapsing, falling in a mass of quivering euphoric womanhood. She lay on her side next to me as I held her kissing softly all over, caressing her until she finally caught her breath. "Missy, oh Missy I want to try that. I want to taste my first pussy," she blushed and giggled with excitement. "Mmmmm," she giggled and licked her lips. "I like the way I taste on your lips." She was trying to get at my panties. I rolled her onto her back pinning her gently. I let her hand find my crotch, watching her eyes as her fingers closed around my stiff clit. "I want to fuck you the way you deserve to be fucked," I breathed into her lips. I started slow and gentle, not forcefully or urgent. My hands roaming, caressing lightly. Suddenly she flipped us over, her own need taking over as she began bouncing her ass up and down. grabbing her hips I guided her into a grinding motion. "Don't worry about me Lover. Let yourself free, do it how you want. What makes you feel good," I urged her. About twenty minutes later she lay across me exhausted from her own orgasms. We were almost ready to resume cleaning house when I heard, "It's ok kids they're talking. Let's just give them a few minutes." Of course it was Frog doing the talking. As she was sliding her jeans back on giggling like a prom date I said, "Tonight my sweet sister, you will get to taste Jillian." She giggled and blushed. "If I'd known it was that good I never would have stayed married as long as I did. My god and to think he made me do him but would never do that for me. is it just a girl thing?" "Tim taught both Jill and I." I looked deep into her eyes. "You, you called me Sister," she stated, and I could see in her eyes a glimmer of hope. "I believe more in the ways of the people than I do those from which I came." "But what if they don't agree with you?" "Janet, I'm the first wife. I decide what happens under our roof. Tim decides everything else. And for now, you are under our roof." She looked at me now finally understanding, I saw the smile grow on her face. "To me and Jill you are an unmarried sister." I smiled. "And Janet, In most things of this nature we are very traditional, you should know that, after all you grew up here," I reminded her. As we stepped into the rest of the house Raven hugged her mother tightly then drew back a puzzled look on her face. Then she glanced at frog, who simply nodded and smiled as she took hold of Ravens hand. When my girls hugged me Rose giggled causing me to wonder about her and her friends Jennie and Janice. The two were supposed to be coming for a sleep over next weekend. Darlene whispered, "What about Daddy and Momma Jill?" "This is one of those traditions you have yet to learn about," I told my eldest daughter. I noticed Red was openly holding hands with Pebble and Crystal both. We barely made it home before the trucks arrived. And the kids raced out to begin cleaning them before they were put in the barn. Before he came to greet Janet and Raven though he drew Darlene to the side toward the secure storage container on Jumper below the driver's door. "We made a little side trip for you Sweetheart." He drew out a little Rose Wood box about a foot long a six inches deep by six wide. Then handed her a large envelope. She pulled out a single set of dog tags that could only be her mothers, there was a small binder of photos. And then several military decorations, one being a purple heart. I knew what it was, Tim had one, though he never talked about his four years in the military. Suddenly I knew what was in the box. She carried everything to her room crying silently. And when I would have followed her he said, "Give her a few minutes, please." "Tim is that for real?" I needed to know for Darlene's sake. "I checked, he had them the whole time. they were found stuffed in the garage with a bunch of junk," he told me. "Oh and Deputy US Marshal Wolf will be here in two weeks for a long visit." As he kissed me he sniffed at my hair. "You've been playing," he smiled. "Just following traditions," I assured him. and he smacked my bottom playfully. I paused outside her room before I entered. "Momma, I still love you. I hope you know that and I was even found by someone who loves me as much as you did. I hope you understand when I call her Momma too. her and Momma Jill, and Daddy Tim. They keep telling me never to forget you. And Daddy Tim and Jill brought your ashes home to me." She was silent for a few moments so I entered after I knocked. Sitting on the edge of her bed I pulled her into my arms. "You are just as pretty as she is," I told her then lay my hand open on top of the box in her lap. "Star in Mist, I am Missy Wyoming. Thank you for such a wonderful Daughter. I will cherish her and teach her all the things you were not allowed the time too. And I will be sure she never forgets you." Darlene hugged me tighter, and then the rest were there with us. After she'd stopped crying I asked her, "Now where should we make a place for her? over your bed so she can watch over you. Or over the fire place so everyone can see her?" We were still unloading the trailer full of new furniture when Little Elk called for Tim. "Hey boss, I just wanted to tell you that independent company in Casper went under. They locked up and left a lot of their drivers stranded." "Yeah Elk I heard they went under, guess we'll be getting a lot more loads. Wish we had a couple more drivers." Tim told him. "Uh, Tim they left one in Cowley, no load, no fuel, no pay. When the terminal told her to come back the next day someone slashed her inside duals, spiked her fuel tanks and cut her air lines." "That Ain't right Man, is there any way we can help? Maybe get her truck towed to a shop for her ? If she's any good we might even front her the repair costs." "About that, Tim I got her rig stacked behind mine. I dropped that Fruehauf trailer at the yard and it won't be ready till Tuesday. So I figured I'd haul her in to the Tomahawk." "Does she have a name?" I prompted Tim. "Nikki Hunter." There was a moment of silence. "Elk, as much as you've talked about her she has an Audition, just as soon as they finish her truck." I smiled at him to let him know I thought he was right. "Where are you now Elk?" I asked thinking I'd heard the sounds of Gladys calling out orders in the back ground. "Grabbing a bite to eat, then I'm going to find her a place to stay." He answered me. "Bring her by the house, I'd like to meet her. and Tim and Red could use some help moving furniture around so Janet and Raven don't have to." "Janet? Not Shirley's sister?" "Yes the one you chased all through School," Tim laughed. They still had a few really heavy things when the truck pulled up in front of the house. As we sat and watched, I noticed Nikki the new potential driver showing more than just casual interest in Janet. When Janet finally realized it she blushed realizing she'd been showing about as much interest in the other woman as well. "Well I better get Nikki to the Motel, then get home before Lilly skins me alive." Elk said. "Ummm, she could stay here. that would save her the cost of the motel room," suggested Janet. "We have an extra room all set up too," added Raven. As we were leaving for home I managed to get Nikki aside. "Keep in mind that Janet is new to all this. She's also like a sister to me and Jill." "Mrs Wyoming," "Missy," I insisted. "If you are as good as Elk says, you'll need to start calling me Missy." "Missy, I could tell she isn't very experienced. I'll go slow and let her choose how far she wants to go," I was told. "Thank you," I kissed her cheek. "Stop by for coffee in the morning and we'll go over your log books and see about getting you set up." "But Tim hasn't seen me Drive yet, and Elk said that was pretty important. He called it an Audition?" "Yeah you get to drive the Canyon, blind no maps," added Jill. "If you can handle the Canyon you can drive better than ninety percent of the yahoos behind the wheel." "Hell it can't be any worse than the AfPak," there won't be Mortars and Snipers will there? Hell I could drive that in my sleep." She said. then with a laugh she added, "We used to drive it in total blackout." There was nothing boastful about her statements just facts, even Tim could see it. "Darlene, Honey. Take Red and the Jeep, and go pull Beauty out of the barn. When you've done the prechecks bring her here." "Why Momma," asked Red. "Nikki and I are going to go for a drive." When Beauty pulled up out front twenty minutes later Tim started forward but I held out my hand to stop him. "Love you've already decided. Now it's my turn to let her show what she can do." She was a bit nervous as she made her walk around checking everything. Then she patted the modified hitch plate, "This looks like it's been beefed up for pulling." "In the winter there's an eighth pound of C4 wedged under each side, just in case." I said. "I've seen this truck a few times. Now I get to meet her driver," we were in the cab and she quickly got familiar with everything. I gave her directions to the truck stop and we hooked onto one of our flatbeds. "Gladys, I need a dozen eggs." "You mean in the carton?" I placed the eggs in the middle of the trailer then blocked each side before running a cushioned strap across the middle. "What's going on?" asked Running Water. "Pay attention Sweetheart, if you decide to ride with Red you'll need to be able to haul eggs home for breakfast too." the young girl looked frightened. I had her start off at the truck stop end by giving three short blasts of the horn. A half mile later she asked, "So when do you want me to turn out the lights?" "Nikki, I don't doubt you can drive this in your sleep or without lights." I looked at her squarely. "The fact that you didn't flinch tells me you can do it. Pull up here and give it a short tug." Four minutes later Darlene was there with Rose. "We brought you the eggs for breakfast," I said motioning to the trailer. While they were getting the eggs I said, "This is the trail branch to our house, Tim's Sister lives up that trail there." We moved on and I pointed out the trail to the house Janet and Raven were living in now. "So the Eggs weren't a test?" "No," I laughed. "Darlene was complaining that we were almost out." "Oh man I thought, this is the craziest test I ever took." "Nikki, the real test was you willing to go for it, and seeing your self- confidence." I told her. When we got back to the house I smiled at Tim, winking. "Any broken eggs?" "Probably but that wasn't my test," I admitted. "You just wanted to see if she would go for it," he smiled. "You know they have that old truck of Long Dogs still sitting out there for sale. Maybe he'd loan it to Nikki until hers is back on the road." "She can take this trailer and follow Elk out on Tuesday, there's three loads waiting in Cowley," I said. "And I'm sure Coyote can find her some more." Long Dog's wife was our book keeper, and also arranged most of our contracts. She'd married him only a year before after he went to work for us. "Lots of short hauls. But good money. I'd hate for her to get stuck out in that old truck too far from home. You don't mind driving a Mack for a week do you?" "A Mack? Oh my word. You do know why the bull dog sits on the hood don't you?" she asked. "Just don't say anything to Long Dog about that. It was his first truck," Tim cautioned. Then he called Long Dog who was happy to get it out from in front of his house. "Coyote has been hounding me about it killing the grass," he said. "I'll pick you up in the morning," I told her. "We'll go get it so you can start learning it's quirks." The next day Darlene and I followed by Rose and Red in Beater stopped and picked up Nikki. My eyes rose up when Raven climbed up beside behind her as she got in. "Momma says I can start learning to drive if Someone wants to teach me," the girl offered. By the time we retrieved the truck, and made the first run through the Canyon I decided we should stop for fuel. The set of pumps closest to the door were already occupied by another truck but Darlene pulled into the one beside it followed by Rose and then Nikki in line across. The first driver spotting the Mack walked that way in a hurry past us. "Hey Ma'am, where'd you get that old thing?" he began. When Nikki turned around to face him he said, "Great spirit on earth, I haven't seen you in ages. How've you been Nikki?" Raven stepped around to stand next to her. "Ok what's next?" she asked. "Excuse me a second," she turned back to Raven. "Release the hood and tilt it forward so we can check the fluids. Do you need any help?" "Mom, Ma'am, I can get it," responded Raven. "Elk, What brings you this far from the Ute Reservation in Colorado?" "Well I'm obviously driving. Trying to teach my oldest son to drive. I see you have one of the Blessed ones with you today, is she adopted? I heard her call you Mom." "No, not yet anyway. I just got hired on by Wyoming Trucking," she pointed toward Darlene and I. Suddenly noticing us his eyes grew round. "Two more of blessed spirits." "Hi, I'm Missy and these are my children, Chasing Shadows also known as Darlene, Rose Petal, and Red Wing. Darlene, don't forget Shadow needs to Take a break," I reminded her and she helped the young wolf out of the truck. Kneeling beside him she said, "Go ahead and get us a booth, we'll be there shortly." They rubbed noses before he headed off into the grass. "Elk, what's wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost." Nikki asked him. "I'm not sure I didn't. How long has he been here?" the man asked. "About two weeks give or take a few days, why?" I asked him. "We haven't seen him in almost a month. Now I guess we know where he went to. I can tell my Daughter when I see her in two days, that he's found a blessed spirit to watch over." "You're heading home from here?" asked Nikki. "No, I'm headed into Missouri. My Daughter May is going to a Private Girls Academy there." "May? I didn't know you had a daughter named May." "She's the reason I recognized so many blessed spirits when I saw all of you here. I was hoping to see Little Elk. I heard him on the radio yesterday, and thought he might still be around." "He's at home with his family. I could call him if you like." I offered. "No that's ok. Of course I am curious now how come you're driving his old truck." "Mine's over there in the shop," explained Nikki. "Dad, you want me to order us both something?" asked a tall young man as he approached the group. "Too Tall, come and meet part of Wyoming Trucking." We were introduced, and he took an interest in Darlene. "When you get to the diner Son, call your mother and tell her to stop the search for Dark Shadow. He has come to watch over that lovely creature at your side." "You realize Mom was right again don't you Dad? She said he was off Chasing Shadows." Then it struck Elk that it wasn't just a coincidence his wife had foreseen a glimpse of where the wolf was headed. And I realized that he had in deed come a very long way to find Darlene. We took up two full booths and Running water was beside herself giving Red extra attention. Molly nosed her way through the door and curled up at my feet raising eyebrows all around. When Running water was waiting on the next booth over from us Raven asked Red a question. "So who are you seeing, Pebble and Crystal or Running Water?" He didn't answer as Running water calmly walked over to the table. "Red you need more Syrup on your pancakes," she promptly squirted half the bottle in his lap before storming out the back way, her apron flying into a corner beside the door. "Oh shit, I'm sorry Red, I didn't mean to make trouble for you," apologized Raven. "I didn't know you were burning the candle at both ends." "Both ends and every point in between," muttered Rose. At the stricken look in his eyes I could tell something was up. "Mom I, I just fucked up," he said. "You finally figuring that out?" I asked. "I, Mom I can't see anything else without her in my future. Pebble, Crystal, Frog, all the others, they don't matter anymore. You tried to tell me and I didn't listen, now it's too late." He sat there with syrup soaking into his jeans, and dripping off into the floor. "She means that much to you?" I asked and he nodded. "Then you better go after her," Gladys said. "If she really means that much, you'll know what to say to win her back." He didn't hesitate as he left the same way she had. "Crap there goes my Co-driver for the day," Rose pouted. "Rose Honey, Beater needs an oil change anyway. why don't you go see if they can fit it into their schedule." I suggested. Red didn't have far to go, he found her out back beside the dumpster crying. I never did find out what was said, but she came back in with his arm around her. she was wearing a ring made of clover around her finger, and Red's turquoise bracelet. I smiled warmly at her, somehow I'd always known that she would be the one to claim his heart. I gave her a warm hug and said, "The rest will be jealous of you. But I still think you are the best catch. I'm happy that he's throwing the others back for someone else to catch." She blushed and giggled. "Thank you." Then she kissed his cheek, "I better get back to work." She had a more energetic bounce to her step as she flitted from table to table taking and delivering orders. "Is it truly as wonderful as I've heard?" I asked Elk of the school his Daughter was going to. I'd heard rumors about its existence, but discounted them since it was supposed to be in what had been my home state before Tim had found me on the road. "Missy, it is an excellent school. But it isn't really for everyone. We sent May there because it offered her the best chances for her education, as well as a means to let her Transition, especially with the Jennifer Grant that she qualified for," He told me. "Transition? You mean?" "Yes she really is Blessed. But the tribe isn't as well off that we could pay for what she needed." He explained. "And they accept her there? I mean she lives in the dorm with regular girls and everything?" I could hardly believe it. "She shares a dorm room with another Blessed Spirit, and two naturally born Girls. They don't have any problems about her being there. It truly is a wonderful place." He said. "One of her roommates is dating her half-brother, my wife foresaw them meeting and last summer saw me getting to meet him for the first time. He's a Cadet at MMA." That caused me to start in surprise, I'd heard of MMA I'd even been threatened with being sent there against my will before I left home. Now I had a better idea of where the Private girls school was. There were about four near there for girls. But none of those would even consider a Transgender girl. That left just one other place, the old Girls juvenile detention facility that had been bought by an unknown source and reopened. "Yes, it used to be that before Miss Clara purchased it. now it's a wonderful Private Academy that offers the best Education possible as well as teaching open acceptance." Elk had seemed to read my mind. "You aren't thinking of sending me there are you Momma," Darlene blurted out. "No sweetie, never. You have everything here already. It's just that I'd always heard rumors of its existence. And I am happy to know they are true, is all. Of course Rose might find herself there if the boys continue to flock around her like moths to a flame," I joked. "Momma please no!" "Rose, Honey, you know neither I nor your Daddy would ever do that to you." I hesitated, "Unless you wanted to go that is." I turned to Elk then, "What about her Heritage? Do they teach the traditional crap about how great Custer was?" "Missy," he said with a smile. "Trudy Brightmoon, teaches that yes he was great as a general goes, but also that his greatest accomplishment was the reuniting of the Seven Nations of the great plains." He smiled, "Incidentally most people don't associate that with the number of his Cavalry troop that was destroyed." I had to grin about that, "Yes the US Seventh Cavalry was destroyed by the united Seven Nations of the Great Plains." Suddenly Red and Rose's unspoken protests were silenced with realization of the facts. We were suddenly interrupted as several new arrivals entered the Diner. They wore the black arm bands marking them as members of the Warrior Society, and I'd heard Tim and the others talking about them. there was one off shoot group that seemed more bent of making trouble than the rest, and they marked themselves with the Arm Bands. I knew Tim was a member, but he only wore the beaded Necklace like the rest who sought only to preserve the Heritage. Molly and Shadow began to growl low and menacing as they approached the counter. There were four of them and they were looking for trouble, but they'd chosen the wrong place. I got Running waters attention, and she hurried over to our booth. "Red, take Running water, your sisters and your cousin and go out the back. Tell Hatchet man there's about to be trouble at the diner, and to call Joseph." I told him. "But Mom," he began. "Excuse me, Son I need you to do me a huge favor," Elk said. "When you get outside I need you to walk past my trailer and knock three times on the side door. then tell the Marshal his help is needed in the Diner." The small group was slow to make their move, and had paid little attention to the five new comers dressed in biker attire. Only one managed to pull his gun out, not seeing his three accomplices being immobilized. "Ok Lady," he said to Gladys. "We're going to take donations for the Warrior Society," the cold steel and the click of the cocking hammer at the back of his ear saw him quickly laying his revolver on the counter. "Billy Blackfoot, you are a disgrace to real warriors, you know that?" Gladys spat in his face. "Steeling from your own kind." She reached out with a metal spoon and rapped him on the head. "I just counted Coup on you so I'm more of a warrior than you'll ever be." Wolf looked at her strangely as she stepped back from the counter still holding the sawed off shot gun she'd had leveled under the counter. Then he smiled, "If it was up to me I'd let you count more than Coup." When Joseph showed up with his five deputies, the four were transported to the Reservation station to be booked for the crime. Wolf sat down at the table across from Darlene. "Little Sister, I see you're safe, and I hear you're learning to drive," his smile was warm. "Damn, Mom was right about you, You just keep getting prettier every time I see you." "Wolf, you just used your gun." She was shocked. "It's a tool of my trade. But I didn't have to shoot anyone this time, thankfully." He said. They talked a few more minutes, then I asked how long before he had to leave. "Not until in the morning, I have to wait for the transport bus to get here and take those four in, Why?" "I was thinking maybe you and your friends could come to dinner," I offered. "Wolf, you go ahead, the rest of us can hang loose here." said one of the gang. "You can take Lorelei with you. You know, like introduce her to your Sister." "Lorelei? Is she the one that was on the back of your bike the last time I saw you?" Darlene asked. "Yes, but she's not some biker babe wanabe," he told her. "She's my," "Very Pregnant Wife?" Darlene asked. "She's standing right behind me isn't she?" "Hi Darlene, I'm Lorelei," the two hugged. And Darlene gasped as she felt the shape of something hard just under the woman's left arm. "Sis, this is my Wife, Deputy Marshal Lorelei Wolf." Darlene looked confused now. "You changed your name I know, but did you change it before or after you married her?" "Wolf, you didn't tell her you were taking my last name when you sent the invitations?" at Darlene's blank look she surmised, "You never sent her the invitation did you? Were you ashamed of me?" "She wouldn't have gotten it, our Father would have read it and then worse things would be happening now." "What do you mean worse things?" demanded Lorelei. "He would have let everyone know who I was, what we were. We would have no cover." "It's ok Wolf, I forgive you. But only if you both come to dinner," Darlene said. Elk, you two are coming too, right?" "Yes they are, we'll leave Garvey with the communications in the truck. And the rest can hang out here, the state department will pick up the tab," he told Gladys. "Like hell it will, I've never charged an officer for anything in my life. and I'm not going to start now. But we'll pretend that you're paying customers, so no one wonders why. You pay and we'll return it with the receipt. The same way we do for Frank when he stops in here." When they finished the oil change on Beater, I called Tim on the radio. "Break out four more steaks love, we have company coming for dinner." "Is he bringing the little woman?" Tim asked. "Daddy you knew and didn't tell me?" Darlene was trying to act hurt, she knew there were things about her brother's life that had to be kept quiet. And knew that if Tim was asked to keep something secret he would do it. "I'll make it up to you Sweetheart, you get to cook for everyone." He laughed as he said it. We drove the Canyon, Wolf and Lorelei sitting in the truck with us. He seemed impressed with the way Darlene handled Beauty in the more difficult parts. As we came out behind the reservation Station I pointed it out to him. "This is the trail head. All the other trails lead into here one way or another." At the house Tim asked, "Did you decide to bring her early? Or is this just an unplanned visit?" "What? Daddy you mean he was bringing her here in two weeks." "Yes she's staying with us until after the baby is born, and he can complete his current investigations. I'm hoping he'll settle down close by though," Tim said. At dinner he asked, "Darlene, you really cooked all this yourself?" "No Momma and Rose helped. But I did the steaks and the Polk Greens," "Polk Greens? I thought that was spinach," Wolf said. "Love, you wouldn't know the difference as long as it's edible." Lorelei kissed his lips. Darlene and rose doubled up in her room, then in the morning after breakfast wolf left. Lorelei seemed happy though, explaining that now he didn't have to worry about her safety and her uncle could go back to driving over the road instead of providing safe transport for her. Someone had found their home address and published it after she'd been involved in a major Arms raid. Her home Reservation wasn't safe. Nor was the house they'd purchased in Boulder. And then the Warrior Society, the real one Tim belonged to had taken up the cause to keep her safe. "Wolf, don't worry about her, she'll be safe here. there are none of the others on this Res. Plus everyone who has met her since you rolled into town is a Brother, or Sister to her after what you did in the diner." Jill laughed as she was getting into Ice Pack for the week of driving. "By the time I have to stop driving Lorelei will have dropped, and I can get some real life experience before it's my turn." Nikki took to Raven like a daughter of her own, and between teaching her to drive and helping her to transition, she was shaping up into a very good driver. Darlene seemed happy too, having her sister in law there. And helping her get ready for the baby on top of her own driving lessons. She had no problems listening to Rose and Red when they gave her suggestions. Two days after Thanksgiving, the first storm of the season hit with a vengeance. Tim and Jill were already on their way north for the first ice run. "Missy, Missy you listening in?" It was Joseph. "I'm here Joseph, what's going on?" I asked. "How bad is this storm?" "The State called, they need plows up in the pass. But no one who's left has a rig that will lock into the blower plows at the truck stop. That was supposed to be Long Dog and Little Elks job, no one saw this one coming Missy." "Joseph I still got a blower here. and Hopper and beater are still configured for the those plows," I told him. "Missy I can't get another driver out to you," he was saying. "Listen, I'm going to bring Beauty, red and Darlene will follow me in to the stop and we'll hook into the plows there. Tell them to have the sand trailers ready." I dropped the mike onto the oven mitts, "Lorelei, I need you to sit here on the radio. If you hear anything you relay it. they can't reach us up in the pass from where they are." I looked around for my children then heard the sounds of all three trucks starting up. Red and Rose already had the chains on Beauty and were starting in on Hopper by the time I got there. "Red, Son I want you in Beater, Darlene and Rose I want in Hopper." I looked around for Darlene. She was moving Beauty out of the barn getting ready to lock into the plow blade. As soon as the blade was locked in and hooked up I told Darlene to go help Red, she looked at the little duffle I was carrying. "Go Honey, I don't want you too close if I screw this up." When they were safely out of the way I opened the duffle and then quickly slid the thin strips of pre-shaped C4 into the slots under the hitch plate. Then connecting the wires to the plug in the way Tim had taught me to do it. I quickly moved to Hopper and then Beater repeating the process. Next I took the small key and armed the system on the dash. We were ready to roll in forty minutes. I plowed a path ahead all the way to the stop, and we hooked up the trailers and other two plows. Little Elks old Mack was still sitting beside the road with a for sale sign on it. "Momma, I can drive that one. there's that old state plow still here, and another trailer," Darlene pleaded, I knew she wanted a chance to prove herself. The plow in question was an old throw plow. Walking over to the Mack I looked over the hitch plate, then shook my head 'No'. "Please Momma." "You run cleanup. And no trailer!" "Why Momma? Why can't I pull a trailer too? It has the hookups." "Darlene, if the trailer slides, it will pull you over the side with it. You don't have anything to blow the hitch plate." She was smiling, she was going to get to drive a snow plow. We went inside the diner and collected sandwiches, coffee, and Gladys's 'Just in case kit' which contained a pint of Peppermint Schnapps, while they were getting her blade hooked up. Red and I both sacrificed a set of double chains to give her a full set since all that Hatchet man could come up with was one set of single chains. I handed Darlene the extra handy talkie so she could have open communications with the rest of us. Then as we headed for the pass I started talking to the State troopers that had this end blocked off. How many we got up there, Frank?" "We got reports from maybe two dozen stranded between here and Lovell. They managed to get everyone between there and Cody before the plow went in, but they can't get another plow headed this way." He paused. "Missy, it's really treacherous up there. You really should think about bringing along another plow." "Frank are you saying we can't do it with three blowers and a cleanup?" I asked. "Three blowers, I thought Joseph said they left yesterday." "I got Hopper, Beater and the old Mack running cleanup. Just be sure we don't have to stop when we get to the turn back line," I told him. We passed the line and I spooled up my blower throwing off the far side as I ran the center line. The snow was still coming down hard and heavy, mixed with sleet. The plan was for the States four wheel drives to follow us and pick up people as we got to them. Rose followed in Hopper clearing the first inside lane, while Red followed clearing the outer lane. Darlene was behind them pushing about half the breakdown lane. We were making good time until we hit Sheridan Pass, the switch backs were the worst part, and a few times I had to holler for Red and Darlene to avoid upcoming cars. The sand wasn't working as fast as we'd hoped but it was giving the troopers enough traction to stay close. "Holy crap," we heard. "Keep going, we'll get him. stay with those trucks." The state had just lost a patrol over the edge. In heavy snow it piled up and packed in tight against the rail and that just helped you get past the railing. We were starting into the second set of switch backs when I had to swerve to miss a stranded car in the middle. I'd just gotten straightened out when I heard the double bang. Thinking it was Red I looked in the right side mirror first almost missing getting to see Rose's trailer as it flipped over the side into the ravine. Her blower was throwing snow everywhere as she fought to regain control. But finally she was back in line. "What happened? Talk to me someone." It was Tim on the radio. "It's ok Daddy I had to blow the trailer," she said. "She did good Dad you'd be proud of her," Red was saying. "Ok Sweetie check your systems, you know the drill. Air pressure, hydraulics. Brakes." "Yes Da,, oh shit. I got no pressure on the secondary Air lines." "Shut your blower down sweetheart," I told her. we'd slowed while she ran her systems check. "Is it coming back up?" "It's slow Momma, but yes." "You're in Hopper, right?" Tim asked from four hundred miles away. "Yeah Daddy," she answered. "Twist the knobs under the seat one at a time until the pressure comes up." She drifted back behind Red and I while Tim Talked her through it. "That did it Daddy I'm back at full Air," she reported to him. Soon she was back on line with the rest of us. It took us another two hours to get to Cowley and refill the two remaining trailers. While we were there I looked over Hopper to assess the damage. When we got ready to head back though there was a state car blocking us. "Sorry Ma'am, we can't let you go back. And we damned sure aren't letting some snot nosed kids drive a fucking plow." "Look trooper, I'll give you five seconds to move that pile of shit before I chew it up," to get my point across I fired up the blower revving up to full speed. "She won't do it she's bluffing he said to another who was standing on Rose's running board. "Kids follow me." I was going slow but still only about half the car was left before I backed up and turned onto the highway, my kids following behind me. As we entered the pass we could hear someone angrily yelling, "You will stand the fuck down now! Just be glad that car was the only thing you lost." "But those kids aren't old enough to drive." "Did you see those snow flake's on the doors? Those kids have driven the Ice roads up north. Do you really want to cost us a contract with Wyoming trucking?" "Who's plows keep your highways cleared," I could hear Tim's voice and turned up the volume. "Missy, don't bother clearing the rest on your way back. Let the state do it for themselves. How's Rose?" "I'm fine Daddy, I'm sorry about the trailer." "I'm not, better to lose a trailer than my little girl." We made much better time on the way back, since we weren't pushing any snow. I smiled when Hatchet man informed me that it wasn't one of our own trailers that had gone over the side. Rose had been pulling one of the state's trailers. After dropping our trailers and calling Lorelei to let her know we were back I had Darlene drop her blade and then follow us in the Mack to the Reservation as the kids and I started clearing the roads for our friends and neighbors. When we got to Little Elks house I knocked on the door, "High we need his plow blade. I think you just sold the Mack too by the way." Darlene was beside herself as she happily pushed snow until three AM. When we finally got to the house Lorelei was waiting for us with cocoa and breakfast. "Missy, did you really chew up a State cruiser?" "He was trying to block my kids from driving," I answered. "No one tells me my kids have to leave our trucks. Especially after they did what they did tonight." "Mom." Red handed me the little safety keys from our trucks. "Hopper's going to need a lot of work to replace that hitch plate. There's a crack in the frame." "I'm sorry I messed up your truck Red," Rose started. Grabbing her hard, "God I'd rather lose my truck than my sister," he reached for Darlene. "Either one of my sisters." It finally hit me around six AM when I woke up from the nightmare, seeing Rose going over the side never to be seen again. Hers was the only trailer that didn't have chains. Both mine and Red's had cleated chains, because we paid the extra cost to properly equip our rigs. Halfway through breakfast Shadow began to growl at the door, five minutes later Frank followed by another Four wheel drive State SUV pulled into the driveway. Joseph pulled in right behind him. "Mom, are we going over to clear roads on the rest of the Res?" asked Darlene. "Yes you're driving Beauty today. I'll be out as soon as I see what these gentlemen want." "Missy, you aren't in trouble for what happened in Cowley. We're here because we really need your plows on the road." Frank stated bluntly. "The State has its own plows, they don't need ours. And if last night wasn't clear enough, we choose when and where we plow. Now if you will excuse me, the Reservation has roads that need to be cleared." "Lady, you can't do this. The state has the Authority to commandeer any equipment necessary to clear the roads. Began the man who had followed Frank to the house." "Oh shit Bob, I can't believe you just pulled that shit," Frank told him. "You think you can come here and take our plows?" I stared daggers at him. "If we have to, yes." "You have no Authority here. this is Reservation territory. And I have a good idea that if you let even one person think you're trying to take something here that doesn't belong to you, you won't get very far." As we'd stood there talking the kids had pulled the plows out in line. "Joseph I suggest you and Frank escort Bob here off the Res. Before he gets hurt, or loses another vehicle." I stepped out the door and rolled my hand in circles as I pulled on my coat. The result was three blowers spooling up at full speed. Joseph ran to move his car way off to the side. "Missy, please let me move my car." Frank said heading for his cruiser. Bob jumped in his car and left as fast as he could. When he was out of sight I made a motion to shut them down. "Come in the house you two." I started back that way. "Would you really have done it?" Frank asked. "Not with one of the blowers. Last night I was pissed off, I could have lost Rose because the State is too cheap to buy chains for their sand trailers. And he just got in the way. I could have really fucked up the blower if I'd hit something more solid like the engine block." "Look we tried to tell him to give it time and not be an ass wipe," Frank began. "Frank, you know that once we finish the Reservation we'll be out on the local roads right?" "I never doubted it a bit, you aren't the kind to just leave people stranded." He responded. "But Bob and everyone else panicked after you just drove back and didn't finish clearing the pass." "There's a blower blade in Gillette, that just needs new Augers. We happen to have a set in the barn. You tell Bob if they deliver it to the Tomahawk by noon we'll start clearing his roads. But the price of getting back in our graces is the blower, since no one there knows what's wrong with it." "That thing's been there two years, nobody can get it to turn." "You tell him what she said Frank." Joseph was holding out his cell phone. "What's going on Momma?" asked Darlene as they came into the house. Joseph laughed. "Your Momma is negotiating another Blower blade for you." "Where are you getting another blower, Mom?" "Remember when we stopped at the State barn in Gillette? Daddy tried to tell them the only thing wrong was they had the wrong size Augers in that one?" "Long Dogs Spares are the ones it needs," he laughed. We'd ordered spares for one of the blowers and they'd sent the wrong ones. They wouldn't fit. The ones we needed were sent to Gillette and put into the wrong plow. And the manufacturer wouldn't take them back so we'd been stuck with them. "Missy he says they haven't got any way to get it here." frank covered the phone, "He really doesn't have any way to clear that stretch. They lost two more plows last night." "We aren't pulling trailers that don't have chains. But we'll plow a single lane in and another on the way out to go get it." "Deal, and he'll have the registration transferred as soon as possible." "He'll have it transferred by the time we lock into it at the yard," I started for the door. "Missy is there anything I can do to help?" Lorelei asked. "Stay here, stay warm, and keep the coffee hot." When Tim heard us on the radio he was in a place where they could reach us. "How's it going Missy?" "Just fine, I got the Mack dead heading behind me. we're on our way to pick up our new blower in Gillette. Rose and Red are finishing up the Res." My cell phone rang. "Hi love." "How'd you score that old blower? And how much is it costing you?" "Actually nothing. Since we're having to clear road to get there, and they are paying for all our expenses while we do it. we dropped the Augers and the straight plow at the stop on the way. Hatchetman and Little Joe will be ready to swap them out when we get back. How's it going up there?" I asked. "Just fine, waiting to see if they're going to have enough drivers to haul everything, or if Jill and I are going to be pulling a load on top of clearing the road." "How deeps the snow?" "It won't be a fast run, I have to leave two feet for Jill to clear behind me." "Just keep her safe," I said. "I will, count on it." "I do." "So what really happened last night? Why did Rose blow the trailer?" "It didn't have any chains, I had to swerve around a car in the middle of the road and her trailer slid. It went all the way in Tim, it would have taken her with it. I'm sure glad you taught me how to set the charges." "I am too. well it looks like we have some more trucks showing up. I'll catch you on flip side." "Not if I catch you first, I Love you. Tell Jill I love her too."
