KENT
I PULL IN WITH MY TRUCK AND STARE THROUGH THE FRONT
windshield at the Cherry Falls Firehouse. The place is technically my
second home, especially the last few years. I don’t know what I would’ve
done if I didn’t have the station and all my brothers.
I get out and pocket my keys and can’t help but notice that Andrew and
Porter are obviously up to their same ole antics. Usually, I just bypass them
and let them have their fun, but today I stop next to Porter. “Andrew
challenge the new guy?”
Porter looks up at me, and it’s obvious he’s up to something with the
smirk on his face. “Yeah, something like that. We have to break Catlett in
the right way.”
I shake my head, and instantly Porter throws his hands up. “What? Y’all
did that to us when we started.”
I nod in agreement. He’s right. Anytime there’s a new person, there’s
always a challenge. Not a hazing or anything, but definitely an obstacle
challenge. Bascially, just a way to break in the new kid.
Porter puts his hands on his hips. “Yeah, Catlett bet a whole month of
cleanup.”
“He’s smart at least. He didn’t take the challenge for just for show.”
Porter nods.
I cross my arms over my chest. “Did you tell him that Andrew is the
reigning champion? No one has beat him on the course yet?”
Porter starts laughing and throws his head back. “No!”
I roll my eyes. Poor kid, he’s new and not only will have to do his own
cleanup, he’ll have to do Andrew’s too. Tough break.
Porter grabs the microphone off the truck behind us. “Ready?”
From across the yard, first Andrew and then Catlett give a thumbs up.
Porter giggles like a schoolgirl and mumbles to me, “Man, this is going to
be good.” He puts his mouth to the megaphone. “On the count of three.
One. Two. Three.”
They both take off, and I’m instantly surprised when Catlett takes off
and is several feet ahead of Andrew. I follow them both as they run in their
full gear. They climb the ladder and repel off the other side. Catlett pulls
even farther ahead when he starts flipping the tire across the lot. Once there,
he grabs the two hundred pound dummy –Andrew has the one hundred fifty
pound dummy – and they both drag them back across the parking lot. Soon
they’re both running full speed toward Porter and me, and all we can do is
stand there in shock. Andrew is about to lose his title.
I wouldn’t have
believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes. Andrew trains every
day; he has the schedule of an elite athlete.
When Catlett stops in front of us, he bends over as if trying to catch his
breath, and mere seconds later, Andrew stops too. Porter is shocked and
seems to be embarrassed. I pat Catlett on the back. “Good job. Welcome
aboard.”
