#BnS218 - The Travellers
The deadline for this challenge is 30th September 2019
"He looks so sad," you think, studying the teenage boy staring down at the sidewalk as the door behind him shut. As you approach, he looks up and straightens his shoulders. A faint "I'm ok" smile crosses his lips and fails to reach his midnight sky eyes.
Unable to help yourself, you give a friendly, comforting smile. "Is everything ok?"
"I, uh, yeah," he glances back at the door behind him. "Yeah." He repeats, that fake smile leaving his face. Forgetting your presence, he mutters, "It will be fine. I'll find someone else who will help."
You glance at the door, a realtor company. You also frown, knowing them to not always be the most open minded of people. "Wanting to buy a house?" You ask curiously.
He jumps. "Huh? Oh. Kind of. Not really a house. Its fine."
Intrigued you smile, "Maybe I can help."
His eyes brighten, "Really?"
"Maybe," you gesture to a bench across the way. "Lets talk."
A few minutes later, the young man, introduced as Gio Cooper, turns to face you on the bench and begins his story. "My family and I, we travel a lot. Sometimes for work, sometimes just because there's some place we want to go see. We don't have a house really, just some RV's that we use to travel around. Its pretty neat." He sighs, "last year my da got sick. He didn't pay much attention to it. Said he had a cold. Ma finally made him go to the doctor when it didn't go away." His mouth tightens and he swallows hard, "The doctors say that it won't ever go away."
"I'm sorry." Your heart twists for him.
"Yeah. Anyway, the doctors, they say that he had a while yet and Da wants to keep traveling. But he has to keep coming back here, to Willow Creek, now. His doctor is at the hospital here." He falls silent for a while. "So, the rest of the family and me. We want to have a base. Got the money up and everything. But... No one will sell us some land."
You're silent for a moment, then "You will want a bathroom. Maybe a bunkhouse for cold weather. Kind of a lodge maybe." Gio stares at you as you yank out your phone to take notes. "How many RVs are there?"
"Uh...3." He says uncertainly.
"Electrical hook ups..." you trail off muttering to yourself. Then you look up at him. "What budget?"
"$35,000 I think." Gio says, staring at you like you're crazy.
You grin and stand up, "come on. I have a friend who is selling some land." And head off, with Gio scrambling up to follow you.
