Once you get used to that team, it’s there forever. You can’t just walk away from a team.
So we brought them here, to the edge of Disciple, West Virginia, and they are now on our team.
They stand there, lookin’ around, most of them smiling. The ones who aren’t are just a little more cautious than the rest. They’ll come around.
There are ten houses. Six men to a house. It’s all part of the paycheck.
We will have a boot camp for the next six weeks, then two weeks’ R&R, and on August one Charlie Beaufort will be here to tell us what to do next.
I don’t know what kind of job Charlie will have me do, but he’s not gonna waste that debt on something small, I do know that much. So it probably won’t come up for a while and that means I don’t have to worry about that debt until it comes due.
Amon starts in with his speech, welcoming them, pointing out the houses, which have been turned into barracks. They nod and listen. And when he brings out the dogs and starts handing them out, assigning each one to a pair of handlers, not a single man is frowning.
Some of them are just puppies and they will be trained by these men. Some of them are breeders, and they will be cared for by these men. And some of them are pretty much ready to go. And these dogs will be their best friends.
Every man in Edge will get his own dog eventually. But for now, it’s enough.
I let Amon, Nash, and Ryan do the talking and take myself down the road where Lowyn and Mercy are waiting for me on the porch.
Lowyn’s smiling big at me. Probably because I’m smiling big at her.
We have a lot of dark days in our past. There was a lot of thunder in those storms.
But I guess that all those preachers who came before me were right.
Because behind that rumble comes the glory.
