My mate and I

"Riley, can you help me outside please?" My dad calls from the kitchen, his voice reaching up the stairs to my room.

"Sure dad," i yell down to him. "Gimme a second!"

I walk over to my closet and grab one of my favorite hoodies before reaching in and grabbing a pair of jeans. I put them on and throw my hoodie over my head before grabbing my boots and slipping them on. I run down the steps knowing i'll wake my older sister Violet up.

Jogging out the door i go to dad's truck and see he's got his table saw out cutting some boards down. I grab a pair of gloves from the cab and walk over to him, "Yeah dad, what do you need?"

"I need you to take over here and cut some more boards down while i grab the old ones from the barn." He says. "I don't need you getting hurt bringing boards down from the loft. We already know what happened with your uncle Jerry."

As he says that i am brought back to the day Uncle Jerry fell through a hole in the loft and broke almost every bone in his body.

"Okay dad, just be careful please!" I yell to his retreating figure, a hand waving to me is my only indication that he'd heard me.

As i turn and start cutting boards down, i smell Wood smoke and rain as a car passes the house. Right after i smell the Wood smoke and rain the car stops and and does a U turn before coming back and up the driveway.

I turn and yell to my dad as the car slowly comes to a stop. Just as i turn to yell for my dad again he is behind me in an instant. A man steps out of the car and makes his way towards us. My dad clears his throat and readies himself to speak to the man but the man cuts dad off before he even gets a word out.

So instead i say to the man "Who the heck are you and what are you doing on our property?"
