Ty got out and walked over to the soda shop across the road and waited. Three hours later, Ty received a call, a sweet voice on the other end saying, "He's ready to view, sir." Ty thanked her and walked to the Spa.
Ty was greeted by the most beautiful female he had ever seen, she was of a mixed race relationship. Sonja turned around and said, "Oh wow, you must be here to pick Harry for Mr. Zach and might I say you are a vast improvement over the others he uses as drivers." She held her hand out and introduced herself as Sonja the Spa's owner.
"I'm Ty, very nice to meet you Miss Sonja," he replied.
"Looks and manners—the Z-1 Ranch is stepping up its game," Sonja commented. "And talking about game, let me introduce to you my latest masterpiece Harry. Step out here honey and let Mr. Ty see what a knock out you are, now don't be shy." Sonja spoke again, "I know that he's a Genman but I had to keep my ladies from jumping his bones after he was cleaned up, talk about a hunk with capital H and that's Harry."
Harry walked out with his head down shuffling his feet until Sonja remarked, "Harry honey, you have no reason to walk anywhere with your head looking at the ground man. Raise it up, hold it up proud and strut your stuff because you are a number one hunk. They are going be fighting and standing in line to get a crack at what you have to offer baby."
Ty couldn't believe the difference in Harry. Miss Sonja was correct—there would be several fights once he got back to the Ranch. But his grandfather's orders were off to the main house only where he would stay until dinner.
Ty thanked Sonja who handed her card to him. "Anytime you need anything I'll be available, good looking," she replied.
Ty and Harry got into the Burb and sat down. Ty took a deep breath. "Wow, she's something else," he said, then looked in Harry's direction. "Wait here Harry, I need to make a call and hopefully talk to someone."
"Okay Mr. Ty," Harry replied.
Ty exited the vehicle and called his Grandfather and asked if he would be allowed a guest at tonight's supper. "Yes Ty, you can bring a date to supper anytime," Zach replied.
Ty ran back inside the spa and asked if Sonja would consider dining with him and others at the Main house of the Z-1 Ranch as his guest at 7pm. Sonja gladly accepted. "I have my own ride and I know the way, I'll ring the bell at 6:45pm and don't make me wait, good looking," she replied.
Ty went directly to the Main House and took Harry inside and told him Mr. Zach's orders were that he was to sit in that entry hall chair, not talk to anyone and under no circumstances was he to leave that chair for any reason unless Ty himself escorted him period. Harry looked horrified as he sat there. Ty went upstairs to dress.
Ben entered the house and walking by the nicely dressed young man sitting there, said hello as he passed. Ben turned around and asked if the young man needed anything but Harry still said nothing. Ben was concerned the young man couldn't hear him and yelled for Ty to get downstairs.
Ty came down. "Is there something I could do?" he asked.
Ben asked if the young man sitting in the chair was deaf. Ty walked up to Harry. "Why didn't you speak to Ben?" he asked.
"You told me not to talk to anyone and under no circumstances move," Harry replied.
Ty shook his head. "It's okay to speak to Ben, Harry. I meant strangers or field workers."
Ben pointed and said, "Harry—that's our Harry sitting there? Damn, Sonja really does work miracles."
"You can say that again," Ty replied.
"Why was he there sitting? Was he going to be bred so that he could fulfill his contract?" Harry asked.
Ty and Ben looked at Harry. "Exactly what contract are you talking about, Harry?" Ben asked.
Harry retrieved an envelope from his pocket. "This one from the CR-11 Ranch," he said. "It says that to be able to leave and move to another ranch I must first be bred and carry to term said child, then surrender said child upon birth to the Ranch and depart the premises within 6 hours of birth of said child."
Ben was seeing red. He took a very deep breath. "Harry, have you told anyone else about the contract?" he asked.
"No sir, because if the breeding didn't take place, upon return I would be taken into the city and dumped out with no papers and I don't know anyone there. Besides, without papers you cannot change Ranches," Harry replied.
Ben stormed into Zach's office and growled, "Those bastards are at it again, Zach."
A startled Zach looked up. "Who is up to what, Ben?"
Ben glared around at Harry. "Show him that letter, boy," he said gruffly.
A terrified Harry handed the letter to Zach and then stood back. Zach saw the name and looked up. "Harry, you're our goofball Harry? Can't be our Harry."
"Read the letter," Ben cut Zach off.
As Zach started to read the letter and got madder and madder, Harry defused the situation by asking in a quiet voice, "Am I in trouble, sirs?"
Zach smiled. "Never in a million years would you ever be in trouble for this, Harry. In fact, you're going to be a hero."
"Call agent Martin, Zach," Ben said.
Zach picked up the phone. "Give me time to get the receiver in my hand, Ben. Settle down. Harry, have a seat in the chair and relax."
Zach watched Harry as he took a seat and smiled. He called Agent Martin and they spoke. "Sending it to you in one minute," he replied. Zach placed it into the unit and hit send and in a few minutes Agent Martin was back to the call.
"Let me place it on speaker so you can tell him and there are witnesses," Zach said.
Agent Martin's voice came out over the speaker. "Is Harry there?" he asked.
"Yes sir, I'm here sir," Harry replied.
Martin introduced himself and who he was with and thanked him for the very important information he shared with the department. "Harry, do you like the place you are at and are they treating you well?" he asked.
"Very well here sir and I love this ranch very much," Harry replied.
"Good then," Martin replied, "because it is your new home now. I hope you enjoy your new life there."
Harry was all smiles. "But what about the breeding they were expecting?"
"Don't worry about that—you don't have to get bred to anyone you don't want to. Besides, I'm going to deliver something to the CR-11 Ranch they won't be able to handle. Okay Zach, I've got a lot of work ahead of me but expect to get a visit soon. I want to meet this hero myself," Martin said and hung up the phone.
"Welcome to your new home. I hope that you will allow me show my gratitude later but I believe that we have a supper party in a little while and you are my special guest," Zach smiled.
Harry looked surprised. "I'm your guest, sir?"
"Call me Z from now on. I believe we are going to be very special to each other, but stay in the house—I don't want to have to whip some asses if they try and make a move on you. Now go wander around the place, it's good as yours," Zach said.
Harry thanked him and walked out of the office.
Ben looked at Zach. "Treat him right. This is his first trip off CR-11 for breeding and ain't nobody ever topped him before, so he will need to be brought along gently by you if you decide to pursue a relationship with him, which I personally think would be great for the two of you."
"Me too," Zach replied.
