a million dollar smile

Nick first hears from John Seed on the phone when he’s sucking on his Friday afternoon cigarette. Well, he’s heard rumors about a rather large group of people moving to the county, probably couple hundred. It made local news of sorts. He wasn’t very interested; Hope County might not be a big place, but they live far enough from everyone, he and Kim, and if people want to find him, he’s got signs around.John Seed left him a voicemail on his work telephone, starting off with a string of pleasantries, then asking if Mr. Rye would have any free time next week to take a look at his private plane after it arrives. He explained that he tried to pay a visit that morning, but Mr. Rye was out, and said it’d be great to know his availability and he looked forward to hearing from him. Nick listens to it with a hint of amusement, and has half a heart to start the reply message with “Mr. Rye is my father”. He leaves it though. It’s 3pm; he dusted crops since seven in the morning and didn’t really take a lunch break. He loves flying, but damn, he wants a beer after his routine check on Carmina.
