Small Town Mystery
Hi! Here is just a section out of my second book in this wonderful series....
When they got back, they found that the house was empty. Even Darby's dog Jewel wasn't inside. So the girl's quickly set down their bags and changed once again into some riding clothes and then headed outside. There, they found where everyone had gone. They were all down at the new stable, or soon-to-be stable.
"Wow, so I was right. My dad did put you guys to work."
Both Paul and Jake laughed and headed back inside the stable. Jake called to them and said,
"I'd skedaddle if I was you. Dad is in a recruiting mode."
"So? We wanna help! Dad we're back!"
"Great! You guys can set up the tack rooms. The saddle racks and hooks and drawers and all that stuff are already in them. The buckets need names and the grooming supplies put in them and on them. The lockers need to be set up in the two smaller ones. Remember to put the wipe-off labels on the doors of them."
"Okay Dad. Come on guys!"
Darby ran around the place like she knew every nick and cranny of it. They first went into the biggest tack room that also worked as the office.
"Okay, Jenny and Kearya, can you guys put together the saddle racks? I'll help too."
"Yeah I know how. We have these ones at our stable. We only have five though. Not ten."
"I'll need instructions, but I can do it."
"Great and here Kearya, instructions. Kenzie and Rachel you guys are going to put the hooks on the walls and see these wipe off labels? You put on above each bridle hook and one above each girth and martingale hook."
"Are we drilling them in?"
"Yeah. the drills are right there."
"Okay."
"And Marrissa and Sarah get the really fun job. You guys get to write on the buckets and sort stuff. The grooming supplies are all different colors except the hoof picks. They are the same. And the polo raps are the same just put two of the same color in each bucket it doesn't matter. Here are the list of horse names that you need to put on the labels."
"Sounds like fun!"
"Yup, and once we get this all done we'll split up and put together the smaller tack rooms."
"What are they for?"
"The people who board here get to keep their saddle and other tack in a locker. Along with their grooming supplies. This one is just for the students and the school horses. And my horse Kale and I think a few of the ones you guys ride."
"That is so cool."
"This is a very nice stable."
"Yeah, I can't wait 'til it is all done. Here are the list of names. One for Rrissa and Sarah and one for Kenz and Rachel. You guys put the names on the wipe off labels above the bridle hooks."
They all got to work. It didn't seem like work to any of them because they were having so much fun doing it.
"What are the guys doing Darby?"
"Either putting doors on the stalls in the right isle, we finished the left and center isles, or working on the feed room. They may even be working on the fencing around the indoor arena. As you could see, it was only half done."
"Yeah, and hey didn't I see Mr. Arison and Matt here?"
"Yeah, Brett is here somewhere too. They've been helping us since the beginning of the building process."
"Awesome."
"C.H.E.L.S.E.A... Chelsea."
"Huh?"
"Oh, it is one of the school horses names."
"Ohhhh."
"How many more do you have left Rrissa?"
"Three, no wait, two, and then we have to put the stuff in them."
"You guys got it easy. We're each still on like out first or second rack. And we have to put them in the wall too."
"We're just about done with the bridle hooks and labels, but we still have to put four hooks for the Martingales and girths."
"Then you guys can help us with these. We get the tack on Wednesday."
"Is that why we aren't doing any research and stuff that day?"
"Kinda, my dad will want our help but I though you guys my want a day off from depressing work."
"We probably will too."
"I'm done with my last bucket Marrissa. What about you?"
"Just about. There okay, lets start to sort."
the two girls opened the boxes that laid all around them and started to sort them out.
"How about we give Chelsea all pink and Febe all purple."
"Sure, and then Mister can have this red and Oscar blue?"
"Sure. What about Winnie and Ranger?"
"Um, how about Winnie gets Yellow, and Ranger Orange."
"Okay."
"What are you two chatting about?"
"Who gets what color stuff. We're trying to find polo raps that match too. And does this B next to Oscar and Ranger's names mean that they need boots?"
"Yeah, and those are right there. They only had brown when we ordered sorry."
"That's okay."
They finished up just about the same time as Rachel and Kenzie.
"What do you guys need help with. We're done."
" Same here."
"Well, we have eight saddle racks and we've put together five. If you want you can either start hanging them or you can put them together."
We'll hang them!"
"Okay, then Rach and I will put them together."
They quickly finished everything and then were stopped at the door by Darby's dad.
