you to bring one in?” asked Marcus.
“I have several charging as we speak. I can have one here in three or four hours,” said Jocelyn.
“We still need to plan, so how about flying two of them to the house? Make sure they are fully armed and pass all of your diagnostics. Now that I think of it… wait until dark to fly them in. We don’t need to draw any unwanted attention to our location. Does that sound okay to you Kim?” he asked.
“Sounds great to me,” said Kim.
“Jocelyn, the largest place we have to land under the canopy is the pasture. Land them there and we will get headed back,” he said. “Tell Wynd that we are on our way home.”
Chapter 2
After Jocelyn finished telling Wynd that Marcus and Kim were on the way home, Wynd remembered some of the things that Marcus had talked about before they left. He told her that he wanted to make sure that she took every precaution necessary to protect their home.
“Jocelyn, can you send out a drone on a fifty mile radius and make sure there aren’t any problems?” asked Wynd. “I know you have been scanning the area everyday but let’s double check and make sure it’s still clear.”
“The new large drone Marcus found in Redstone is here but Marcus wanted me to run it through a battery of diagnostics. Rom modified his drone to have the same capabilities as Marcus’ so we should be able to use it,” said Jocelyn.
“Is Rom using it?” she asked.
“He is, but I can take it over and he will think that it just malfunctioned” said Jocelyn.
“What?” asked Wynd laughingly. She wondered if Jocelyn was developing an attitude.
“Easy, peasy, lemon, squeezy,” said Jocelyn.
Wynd knew exactly what was going on then.
“Has Marcus done this before?” she asked.
“Several times. He says that it drives Rom crazy and then he laughs,” said Jocelyn.
As serious as Marcus was at certain times, he had a great sense of humor and really liked to aggravate.
“Okay, Jocelyn but we are going to do it my way. I’ll go talk to Rom and ask if he minds me borrowing the drone,” she said as she got up and went upstairs to Rom’s room. Rom was using the big screen in his room to fly the drone. It looked like somewhere in the valley near Trenton. Trenton was a little town at the foot of the mountain. He was flying the drone over a small herd of stegosaurs in one of the larger clearings. He turned and looked at her when she knocked on his door.
“Dinosaurs are so cool. I wish I had one for a pet,” said Rom.
“I don’t think so,” said Wynd smiling. “We have enough problems without asking for trouble. Anyway, I want Jocelyn to run a fifty mile security sweep and I would like to use your drone. Do you mind?”
“Sure, I don’t mind. Just realize though, that sometimes it gets a mind of its own and will fly off. I’ve got it back every time but it usually takes about thirty or forty minutes to get it back online. I need to have Jocelyn run some diagnostics to see if she can find the problem,” he said.
“Okay, thanks. I’ll let you know when I’m finished with it. I just want to double check the area,” she said smiling. She turned and headed back downstairs.
“Okay, it’s a go Jocelyn. Take control and run a fifty mile scan. Also, can you put it on full screen so I can watch?” she asked as she walked back down into the living room.
The huge screen in the living room immediately switched on and Wynd was flying above the forests of the mountain. Jocelyn flew the drone back up the mountain, across their little stronghold and then headed it toward the Chattanooga area. It was neat getting to see where they were living from the air. She could see the twins playing outside as it flew over. The drone continued over the wooded areas of the mountain. It was a beautiful sight even though most of the leaves had fallen. Wynd was really getting into it. As the drone
