Feb. 10th, 2018 08:52 pmThere's been something strange happening in the barn the last few days that he can't exactly put his finger on. When he goes in the morning, things are in places he didn't leave them and he's sure that the animals are more unsettled than before. It's not enough for Vasquez to go to the owners about, because while they pay him to operate the farm and work the land, they also don't want to be bothered until he's sure and right now, he's not.
After all, it could just be some wild animal getting loose into the barn at night. He sets up a plan, though, and makes sure that instead of falling asleep with a cigarette and a stomach warmed through with alcohol, he's staying up in order to be in the barn near midnight to see what it is that's causing such a change in things. He's hoping that he's not going to find anything, if he's honest, but there's just too many small things to have nothing be at work.
Cautiously, he approaches the barn (not wearing his spurs, not tonight), and gives the door a gentle nudge. It's quiet, so if it is a wild animal, it hasn't spooked the creatures. If it's a person...well, in that case, Vasquez has to be extra careful, but he needs to resolve this before the owners start to notice and they start to blame Vasquez for doing a poor job.
