Facing the smoke       When firefighters arrived, Dillon was fitted with a respirator. He and Bradley went into the smoke. Either he or Bradley would come out carrying someone. Well, not Bradley. He would help them out on their own power.       Authorities never really had an accurate census of the people livingContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Getting close to…      Dillon and Evie were sitting on a little hill beside a dirt road, watching the lumber mill. It was a peaceful day.       “Do you think we should have tried to keep the baby?” He finally asked, staring at the ground.       “What do you think?”     Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”

The box      Evie was walkin’ round the department (outside), stretchin’ her legs. Dillon had called and asked her if she cared to come get him. It had been a grueling day. After the ditch incident, it worried him that he would hurt himself. Or worse, someone else. Sadly it was almost midnight andContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

The funeral      Evie’s heart skipped a beat as she stepped into the bedroom, Dillon had on a very nice uniform. She collected herself, “does that uniform have a name?”      Dillon gave her a sad smile. “Not formally. We have our tactical uniforms that we wear every day.

Cattail      Dillon had to change as soon as he got to the station. He had blood on his clothes. He tried his best not to break out in tears as the shower beat on his back. This was the first time, since he had been elected sheriff that a deputy had killed someone.Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Deputy Calvin      Dillon was in good spirits as he bounced toward Smith’s. He hadn’t heard from her in a couple months. Even though she had a landline phone, forget about her answering it.  As he rounded a curve, his c.b. came to life. “Hey sheriff, whur u at?”      “Just past Porter’sContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

The meeting      It had been a month since the team from Frankforts last contact. Bradley was making sure to filter every new piece of news through them. They even knew about the plan to ‘poke the bear’. No one really seemed to notice that Dillon had taken 2 weeks off. But that’s theContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”
