We were up before the Dawn's chorus, packing for the day ahead of us. Thankfully, Sister Patsy was back to watching Mama Louise for us. I left Kitten at home to lead the men to the property and when we arrived, Dada and some men where awaiting us. The introduction was short and day was upon us as we started our journey by the first light of day.
Kitty being the only female with us and like a good ole country girl, she didn't held us back. If it was anything, it was the men who were keeping her back. She knew theses lands more than Dada did.
The group of twenty eight men, myself included and she held her own like a boss. If I wasn't going to the farm with her, I don't think I would be able to manage this bush.
The ten men Dada brought were chopping bush and branches as we go, to make a past to walk.
My lawyer loved these sort of thing so he had no problem. The head landscaper was behaving like a bitch the entire time and if he keeps this up, I'll hire someone else for the job. The architect was like a kid high on sugar, he liked the idea of a big project as it meant big money. His employees were in charge of detailing, they had drones in the air to make a mark of our journey around and through the property.
Kitty was right about the property having two large hills, it was hell to climb the tallest but it was worth the view. My architect and lawyer looked at me with a knowing smile as they questioned Kitty and the community folks about the other properties. Lands like these were underpriced as no structure is built upon them and the little details Kitty provided me with was enough to convince me. I loved her ideas and she had many, keeping most to herself by we'll be using them all real soon. Including her granduncle's property.
We took a break and she issued the food she was traveling with, not to mention drinks.
"This is a great view. Is all these lands for agriculture?"
"Not all. Some belongs to thieves since the owners wants nothing to do with the bush, so they capture it."
"You've said something about the great river falls..."
"It's more than that. It's like an historical sight back here but we can't go too far by the caves. I think grandpa Joe has some old papers that dates back around the nineteen hundreds before emancipation. He found it amongst his great grandfather's things. Fatta went there once." The man points to his friend who the attention went to.
"Not a pretty sight wid di johncrow dem. But still, the caves look like some hut build inna the hillside. Even the dam seems like it never finished build before the slaves flied. An it can be something different, we see some old structures over some more but only grandpa Joe can tell who the property belongs to. The structure look almost like some old plantation..."
Us businessmen shared a look and listened on. I'll be calling my father and brother soon. It's a good thing we're recording this trip, audio and video.
"Are you serious?" I asked, interesting in more. This was something the government could take so we'll, or I'll grab it while I can. Kitty does have a point about this hotel, guest house or resort thing.
Watch how me put a ring pan har finger. Shi can't suh supporting and mih nah wife har. She mek me reach yah so.
As if feeling my eyes on her, she looked at me and blushed, looking away.
A know how fih fix yuh business. Money affi spend fih mek you and wih pickney dem rich and comfortable. Wifey and mummy figure.
