Take it OutsidePT1 –Brantley Gilbert

The next morning Jasper rode out to the small cabin the Whitlock's had on their ranch. It had only three rooms. It had the kitchen, bedroom and living room. It was built when all people used were out houses to go the bathroom and creaks to bathed and wash clothes.

He walked up to the porch. It was starting to fall apart; but it was over a hundred years old so it was still good that it was only starting to fall apart. He forced the door open and made his way inside. Peter should be there soon but he wanted to check it out before they got to work. He could tell someone had been in here recently. There was trash that didn't fit anything that would have been made back in the seventies. The stove in the kitchen had been used recently because there were ashes in the fire pit of the stove. The bedroom didn't look like anyone had been in it unless it was to hide from what he [Jasper] guessed.

Making a mental note of where to put the cameras and listening devices when peter came to help him. He got back on his horse and headed for the barn. Peter was there talking to Paul. Jasper slipped off his horse so he could join in.

"So what are you two talking about?" he asked.

"Peter here was just telling me about your plans to update your security here." Paul said. "I told him I would help if you guys want it."

"That's great we'll talk about it later right now we have an old cabin we are fixing up."

"I could help." Paul said.

"Grab a horse and come on." Jasper told him.

Paul pulled a black mare from one of the stalls; he saddled the horse and hopped on and followed Jasper and Peter –who were already on their horses—out to the old cabin. All three men tide their horses' reins to three nearby trees and made sure they had water to drink.

"How old is this place?" Paul asked.

"A little over hundred years old," Jasper said. "Our great great grandfather built this place for him and his wife to stay after his own child hood home burned down and his little brother disappeared in the war."

"And they never found the brother?" Paul said.

"Nope but common belief among those in our family are that if his body was to be found it would be somewhere near Galveston because that's where his last letter came from."

Paul couldn't reply to that but he had helped Jasper and Peter with the porch replacing all the rotting floor boards. It didn't take him long. He did that while Peter cleaned out the cabin of the trash left behind by the squatter who had made the cabin their home.

"Finally all the crap is out of there." Peter said throwing the last of the trash on the fire he had built to keep them warm from the cool air surrounding them.

"From that amount of trash I would have to assume that more than one person had be staying here at one point I just don't know why." Jasper said.

"Well the porch is done is there anything that needs to be done on the inside?" Paul asked.

"Surprisingly none of the wood needs to be replaced but if we wanted to update the cabin plumbing would be a good idea." Peter told him.

"What about the electrical?" Paul asked.

"We wouldn't use it enough to have electrical to put in it." Jasper said. "We would use it as a hunting cabin or other things."

"No need to classify what you mean by other things." Paul told them.

"Yeah we wouldn't want to defile your virgin ears."

"Me nor my ears are virgins." Paul snapped.

"Whatever you say." Peter replied.

It was after that that the brothers and Paul went to work on the cabin putting the cameras in and calling back to Bella to make sure they were coming up on the computer. It took three hours to do the work and make sure that they blended in with the cabin which is why the save the old –usable—wood from the front porch to hide them a little better but still have them a good view of the rooms they were in.

"That was the last one." Jasper said throwing the last of the usable wood into the fire.

Since it was past noon and none of the three men had eaten since the morning. They sat around eating the sandwiches' that Charlotte made Peter bring out with them. Jasper got up from the dusty ground and dusted off his jeans.

"Well someone needs to piss on that fire so we can go." Jasper replied going over to his horse.

Paul just too the rest of the water from his canteen and dumped it on the fire.

"See no need to get pissy." Paul said going over to his own horse.

"There is also no need to be a smart ass." Jasper said smacking him on the back of the head.

All three boys hopped onto their horses after putting their equipment back into the saddle bags they carried them in and headed for the barn and home.

"I'll put the horses up." Paul said slipping out of the saddle. "You can go on inside."

"We still have to talk to you about some things so when you are done come inside." Jasper said handing him the reins of his horse.

"I'll take the saddle bags. They have to be locked in the safe." Peter said messing with his horse.

Paul and Jasper handed their saddle bags over Peter who went to go put them in the safe located in the barn office. While Paul took the saddles and blankets off and put them in the tack room of the barn. It didn't take long to do it. After he was done with the saddles' Paul put the horses in their stalls and closed the gates making sure they couldn't get away. He found Jasper and Peter in the den in the main house.

"So what did you two want to talk about?" Paul asked them while sitting down.

"Well for our plan we need a worker that we trust to pretend to start have a rough relationship with us we say your coming in late or not doing your job, you go to a bar where the Volturi brothers hang out and complain loudly about how you want to get back at us for telling you that if you don't shape up you will get fired."

"Interesting and good idea and you came up with it?" Paul asked.

"No. His girlfriend did." Peter said.

"Shut up peter." Jasper snapped. "So will you do it?"

"Sure." Paul said. "When do I start?"

"We'll I guess any day now because we have to be seen having arguments with you so we should stage one at the bar and the maybe one in the barn after the one in the bar you can go back to it on another night maybe a week later complaining about how we are 'riding' your ass about getting to work on time." Jasper explained to him.

"So I guess I should stomp out of here pissed off now?" Paul asked.

"Bingo." Jasper replied with a smirk. "You can have tomorrow off." Jasper said in a whisper.

"You better be here on time." Peter yelled.

This had caused Paul to smirk while getting up from his seat. When he reached the door he turned his face into a scowl and opened the door and stomped out of the den. Jasper and Peter looked at each other and shrugged.

"So how did it go?" Bella asked them. "I saw Paul and he didn't look happy but that could have been part of the plan." She added the last part in a whisper.

"Everything is okay." Jasper said. "We'll talk to him again when he calms down. It shouldn't be too long." He added pulling Bella to sit in his lap.

"I am going to go find Charlotte before you two love birds make me puke up my meager lunch."

"Meager my ass you ate six of the twelve sandwiches and there were three of us." Jasper said chucking a paper ball at the back of Peter's head.

"Peter seriously you ate one sandwich from Jasper and Paul each." Bella said. "You know we could tell Charlotte and she might just withhold you."

"You do and I'll tell Ma about the two of you."

"Peter she locked us in a room together to get us to admit our feelings and she knows that Jasper was no virgin." Bella said. "So it wouldn't surprise me if she already knew about Jasper and I and I know she has caught you and Charlotte doing just as much when you were in school."
