During the morning turnout, we first stop on the upper deck landing and scan the scene below. In yesterday morning’s exit, Frankie spotted something that alarmed him. He and Landon discussed their next steps.

I’m right behind you, Suavester.

Unfortunately for Frankie, Landon remembered a certain incident a couple of weeks ago when Frankie didn’t exactly stand shoulder to shoulder against a noisy machine. Boom Boom bided his time, but the revenge did taste sweet when Frankie went after the threat.

      But I am plucked every day. Every single day. Hu-Dad says I am an endless fur producing machine. On the bright side, I really don’t mind.
