Montana Saga Chapter 20

At the Harrington estate, Raymond pushed himself back up onto

his feet while the mercenaries watched him, saying nothing.

Raymond went to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, with a plan

in mind that he could finally carry out with his son and wife out of

the way. Meanwhile, Diane was waking up after being knocked out

by her husband Jere.

"Damn my head hurts." Diane said to herself holding her head in her

hand as she used her bed to steady herself to get up off the floor, her

legs wobbling as she pushed herself back up.

Raymond went to the master bathroom in his and his wife's bedroom,

the mercenaries kept their post. He shut the door, locked it as he always

did, and went into the medicine cabinet to see if his wife Francine had

taken her sleeping pills with her. She hadn't, She didn't always take them,

only when she had bouts of insomnia. Raymond took out four sleeping

pills. Two a piece for each of the mercenaries.

Raymond exited the bathroom going back into the kitchen to prepare the

coffee. He took out the dark brown coffee mugs for the mercenaries and

took out his cup with a picture of an oil well on it. When the coffee was done

brewing, Raymond crushed up the pills and put them in the mercenaries mugs,

poured their coffee and and stirred the sleeping pills in each of their mugs until

the pills were completely dissolved, then he poured a cup for himself and took it

into the living room.

"I'm having a cup of coffee, thought you both could use one." Raymond said bringing

the cup for the three of them out on a small tray.

The men nodded appreciatively and took the caffeinated offering.

Raymond turned and went in the direction of his study and waited until the sleeping pills

did their work.

Out on the road, Harrison Grant and Roman Conrad were right behind the Elite Security Team that was going as fast as they could toward the Harrington estate as were the FBI and local police. The clean up team was speeding toward the Harrington estate. All three

on a collision course.

Back at the Harrington mansion, Raymond went back into the living room to find both of

the mercenaries asleep on the floor with their empty coffee cups beside them.

Suddenly, Raymond's cell phone rang. He saw that it was Georgene Steahl.

"Georgene---:" Raymond was immediately cut off

"Raymond, listen to me carefully. Harrison Grant and Roman Conrad are on their way to

your estate with Yellowstone Elite Security Team. Can you get be ready?" she asked hurriedly.

"Well, Lt. Colonel, I gave coffee laced with sleeping pills to the mercenaries who are out

like a light, so yes."

"Are you or my sister Diane hurt?" Georgene asked.

"My son Jere banged us up a bit yes." Raymond stated.

"The Team will bring you to the hospital, just sit tight. The calvary is on its way." Georgene

ended the call.
