Rodger looked out his window and stared at the big empty house and wondered just how things could go this badly. I was so close to striking it rich and getting out from under Stand's thumb. He quickly packed a few things that he thought he might need. He really didn't think that it was going to take much because the ship that they were getting on would only take a week to catch up with them. Their whole mission was just to do that not running cargo all over a few islands.
The first to arrive was of course Freddy just in time that Rodger would have to make him breakfast. Rodger really didn't want to take him along but if there was a problem like they had already gotten off the ship he knew that Freddy would sniff them out. As Freddy approached the door Rodger said, "Just come in and have a seat in the kitchen. Keep quiet the rest of the house is still sleeping."
Freddy nodded.
Rodger asked, "You do know that the ship is not leaving until sundown rite?"
