WOODCREEK

The Woodcreek family have been running the Woodcreek ranch for decades as cattle ranchers by day and drug barons at night. A new danger arrives as they are under investigation by the police...

CHAPTER THREE

Michael and his son Jonathan were tending to the farm cleaning the barn when Michael got a phone call from his lawyer Lucious.

"Hello Michael! How are yah?" said Lucious. "Im doing good how are the kids Trish and Lisa?" replied Micael. "They're all right! God i wish I had sons though, these teenagers these days can be a piece of work! Look Michael can we talk business?" said Lucious. "Yeah sure I'm all ears" said Michael as he switched to his burner phone and called him back.

"Jonathan go check on your mother" said Michael. "What about the barn Dad?" said Jonathan. "For once in your God damn life! Can you do as I say?" Said Michael. Jonathan abandoned his farm tool and left like a dog between his tails.

"Talk to me!" said Michael. "Michael, I don't know how to put this....youre under investigation" said Lucious. "I'm what?!" Michael exclaimed in shock and awe. "I just got a tip from the feds that you were harbouring said fugitive from Mexico" said Lucious. 

"It was my kids fault, damn I should put him in a fucking casket!" Said Michael. "What are the implications? How much do they want?" said Michael. "Its not that easy Mike the DEA are also in it and have brought out one your old cases from the archives, the Woodcreek drug bust of 1995!" said Lucious disappointed.

"We had nothing to do with that old case, it was a drug deal that went sideways and we paid the jury some hush money!" said Michael. "Oh shit! What are we gonna do now?!" Said Michael. "Just lay low keep an eye on Jonathan and no talking to our "friends" in Mexico until this dies out!" said Lucious.

"They are monitoring any strange activities, they got you and your family under surveillance" said Lucious his esteemed lawyer. Lucious and Micahel were buddies from the University of Texas and both graduated with honours Lucious in Law and Michael in Business administration. 

Lucious was very well spoken and immaculate and was the valedictorian of the class of 85'. There friendship grew day by day closing business deals both dirty and clean. It was a bond that not even the gods would break. Lucious introduced Michael to his first and only wife Lucy who was a cheer leader at that time and would later fall in love with Michael and got married in Hawaii, with Lucious being the best man and the wedding and marriage also being a complete success.

Michael quickly switched to his other burner phone. "Listen I talked to El Jeffe and he promised he would not bring mules at my doorstep" said Michael. "Be that as it may you are under investigation not for the drugs but for harbouring potential militia and cartel" said Lucious. 

"Me?! What the actual fuck?! I need this to disappear. Cassidy is coming home from spring break and doesn't know about the family business. Make this go away Lucious!" ordered Michael.

"Okay hot shot! Say hi to Lucy for me" he said and hung up the phone. "Shit!" Michael exclaimed.

"Hi love" said Michael as he approached Lucy. "Hi my baby" said Lucy and gives him a kiss on his cheek. "Did Cassy call?" asked Michael. "Yeah she did, she is arriving at 1 am at the airport, will you go fetch her?" said Lucy. "Yes I will" he said.

"Listen we are being investigated by the feds. Don't worry i have it under control" said Michael. "What?!" said Lucy surprised. "Shh! You will wake up Meryl" said Michael. "Are you joking Michael?" said Lucy. "I said I have it under control" said Michael. "Well I would hate to see out of control!" said Lucy coldly.

"Just make sure our daughters are safe!" said Lucy. "You know i wouldn't let anyone touch a strand of hair on their heads!" said Michael. "Okay! Cowboy show us your moves...." said Lucy non chalantly.
