Aednat and the Wolf

Chapter 28 Counterattack

It was very early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen but Ted, Eric and David were on the road heading for Marquette in David's car. "Why do they do they have us check in so early?" Ted said yawning.

"I was told it takes an hour," David answered.

"I still can't believe that judge gave us permission to visit," Eric said, "They don't have a probation officer even assigned yet."

"I told you the cops were going to fill the judge in on their findings," Ted said yawning again, "The judge is a fair man."

"I wish we could find a way to look in that house the girls were held at," David said.

"One step at a time," Ted said, "Your ID cost you a pretty penny Eric."

"They did a really good job on it. I looks real. So I'm a Hendersen now."

"Yes, my dear younger brother," David teased.

They arrived at the detention center and presented their ID's and the packages they had brought for Aednat and Rosemary. The packaged were inspected and their documents and packages returned after they were thoroughly searched and then they were directed into a room with couches and chairs. About thirty minutes later all six girls were escorted into the room. Greta rushed to Eric and Aednat to David.

"Is this a conjugal visit Davey?" she teased whispering in his ear causing him to blush. Rosemary hugged Ted, David and then Eric as did the others. Aednat was given her ring and she and Rosemary their necklaces. Rosemary sat next to Eric discreetly holding his hand.

"We have some very important news," David said, "the judge is inclined to believe your kidnapping story. I have a meeting planned for your lawyer..."

"We fired him," Aednat said.

"Why?" David asked.

"He showed up the other day with some fake ambassador trying to get us to accept a plea."

"So we fired him," Rosemary said snapping her finger.

"I talked to him by phone yesterday," Ted said. "I told him he's still on."

"He's worthless Uncle Ted!" Rosemary said.

"He's Stinky's wife's nephew, he'll come around once all the evidence is in," Ted said. "Besides he helped us convince the judge to let us all come."

"One more thing," David said, "the man you ran over died of suffixation, not from your hitting him. But no one knows that yet."

"Then why can't we come home?" Stacy asked.

"All of you are safer here. Stacy your family is coming up tomorrow, you guys too I think," Ted said to the others. "We are setting things up so you'll have plenty of visits."

"The staff will all be fed up with all the Hendersen's," Rosemary teased.

"I told everyone I was a Hendersen too," Greta said happily.

"Are you all holding up OK," David asked.

"We pretty much stay close to each other," Rosemary said. "Me and Aediy are helping some of the girls with math."

"You two teaching math!" David teased. The girls smiled and shrugged their shoulders.

"Everyone complains about missing cigarettes," Gloria whispered.

"I miss something too!" Aednat whispered with a mischievous smile."

"I didn't know so many girls smoked," Gloria continued.
