Uncovering the Family Legacy

The Ticket II
The day of Revelation

I was sitting at my Grandfathers desk when Raymond Shari entered Followed by an older version of him self. Who he introduced as Raymond Shari Senior. The Senior partner at the firm and my Grandfathers personal lawyer for the past thirty years.

Sue served coffee to us and I told her to leave the tray and to close the door on her way out. When the door was closed I stood and allowed Raymond Sr. to sit at the desk. He opened his briefcase and began removing file folders. All the time talking of my Grandfather and his wishes. Before he got started I told them about the incident. They looked at each other and Jr said, “It has started already.”

Sr. began to read the will, It was long and drawn out. I will try to condense it a little. 1)The ranch was mine and the ladies I owned 51%. the ladies 48% the lead ladies received an extra share..2) the list of things Grandpa was into was very extensive and not all of them were legal. Most of the road contracts in the surrounding counties had his brand on them. Same thing with building contracts.. There was a list of politicians and other people he had dirt on. I asked where that list was. He didn't know
Grand pa had left a note for me which said the list is being protected by our ancestors actually it said protected by my(meaning me) ancestors. 3) My parents house was mine. I had to ask where it was located, They looked at me quizzically it was the same house I helped build and had grown up in but I hadn't been there in twenty years.

Now it was my turn. I want every one to know I have no intentions of pursuing Grandfathers activities. I want you to wean and divorce me from any connection with illegal projects. I will be searching for the list and when I find it I will contact every one on the list and destroy the evidence.

I will be here for about three weeks then I have to return to CA. To settle my affairs. I also want the word passed around. I am an ex army scout One more attempt on my life I will come after them with fire in my eyes and I will rip their throats out for starters.

After another hour of discussion about the transfer papers that I would need to sign for the ranch. They left leaving me with a lot to think about..

I called for Amber, I looked around the room seeking any clue of what Grand Pa was referring too. I looked at the pictures they seemed to follow a theme There was a picture of Saint Patrick. One of Druids and one of Fairy’s or pixies or maybe sprites. There were two of Leprechauns and rainbows with the pot of gold.. On the Fire place mantle was a Flintlock rifle a real one not a replica. I took down the rifle and checked the serial number 387194 for the pictures I used a substitution code a phone code. I worked with the picture position till I had it...I hoped

Rifle, druid, St. Patrick,Fairy, Leprechauns, Leprechauns. 194, 376, 355, Amber walked in and I turned the paper over. “Ah Amber do you know how to open the safe?

”No, when Moon took sick he said to tell you help is a phone call away and don't shoot yourself in the foot trying.”

Just to touch all bases I checked all desk drawers for secret compartments and the bottoms for any thing taped or written on them. I checked the desk pad, address book etc etc. I checked behind all the pictures and every where else. I looked at Amber and we both shrugged our shoulders.


Amber left to check the house.. I closed the office door. I looked over the safe and began to punch in the combination. I entered the last number and I heard a click, I grabbed the wheel and spun it and pulled the door and it opened. There were numerous files, stacks of money bearer bonds and a few gold bars. But what caught my attention was an envelope addressed to Night walker. When I was a kid that was what he called me. He said I had a combo name Samuel for my mother Night for my father and Walker for Tribal. I took the letter in hand and sat down at the desk And opened the letter...

“Night I am sorry I did not contact you sooner but the cancer came on so quick I kept thinking I could beat it until it was to late. 1st thing take care of my ladies they are true and faithful. I have told them so many stories about you they think they know you. Amber and Rose are Jewels and very smart. If you need help outside the Big House contact Rhonda she is the Vet. She has a large sum of money on hand if you need it.”
And now the serious stuff... In the left wall of the safe near the back wall is a small panel that sets out more than the rest of the wall. Lift the panel and press the button. Oh it doesn't work if the safe is open. Don't worry the safe door opens easily from the inside there is a plunger that opens the door.. Also there is a viewer on the door you can see the whole office.. Okay close the safe and open the panel.”

I follow his directions when I pushed the button under the panel a section of floor opened and there were stairs going down I followed the stairs to a tunnel which was well lighted, When I reached
