George stared at the man. "You have a hunting cabin?"
Alpha Barker chuckled. "It was a hunting cabin about a hundred years ago. When I purchased it, I turned it into my own personal retreat, someplace where I can get away from all the headaches of being an alpha. It's still called my hunting cabin."
Huh.
"Your car should be right out front."
George followed the alpha once again, heading out to the front of the cabin. Sheriff Garret was there, leaning against the side of the car. He pushed away from it and walked up to stand next to Alpha Barker.
"Everything go okay?"
"Yes, Alpha," the sheriff replied.
"Good."
"Why is there a trailer hooked to the back of my car?" Leon asked.
"Remember when I told George's parents that my men were over at George's place, packing all of his possessions?"
George gasped. "What?"
"I remember," Leon replied.
Alpha Barker waved his hand toward the moving trailer.
"That's my stuff?"
"Yep."
George grinned. "Cool."
"Well, gentlemen, this is where I leave you." Alpha Barker held his hand out and shook both George and Leon's hands. "I won't say it's been a pleasure, but it's certainly been interesting. I wish you both the best."
"Thank you for all your help, Alpha Barker."
"You can thank me by telling Carey hello for me."
"I will, sir."
George was almost sad to see the man leave, but not enough to keep him from jumping into the passenger seat of the car.
Leon started up the car then tossed George his cell phone before heading the car down the driveway. "Call Ford and let him know we're on the way."
"Ford?"
"He's waiting for us on the edge of town. Your uncle wants us to take Ford with us. He's afraid of what Raymond might do to him once he finds out you were let go."
That actually made sense.
George quickly called Ford to let them know they were on their way. After hanging up, he pulled the debit card Alpha Barker had given him out of his pocket and called the number on the back.
"What's that?" Leon asked.
"Alpha Barker gave it to me. He said he put some money on it to hold us over until we could get settled somewhere. I wanted to see how much he put on the card so I know what we're working with."
His jaw dropped when he heard the recording. He quickly hung up then called the number again to make sure he'd gotten it right the first time.
"Well?" Leon asked.
