Tecumseh sat at his desk, it had been a long day. A good day mostly, but very busy. He liked his days that way. Sarah walked and flopped down on the couch in the office waiting room, groaning in pleasure as she finally got off her feet for the first time since lunch probably. Tecumseh rose with a smile, locking his computer, and closed his office door. He tidied up around the outer office, earning a muffled "thank you" from Sarah. He washed out the coffee carafe and the mugs used today, and then grabbed a blanket and pillow from the top of a closet, and tossed the pillow at Sarah, getting a grunt in reply. He lay the blanket over her, and told her not to sleep to long or she'd have to shower in pool house. She mumbled something in response, but today had really worn her out, and she was asleep before the locked the office door behind him, having turned off most of the lights.
Tecumseh went home in his silverado, a handy vehicle to have, especially up here in the mountains. He pulled into his drive way and checked, out of habit, his personal mailbox. A couple of bills, an adds section, and a news letter from one of the guys. Tecumseh smiled at that, he always liked to hear from family. He drove for another ten minutes, down his long driveway, before pulling into his garage. He liked his house, one story, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, brick walls and fireplace, aluminum roofing(painted dull red to match the bricks, because one of his buddies did the roof job or him), with a wide front porch, and a bay window looking out over his back yard from the nook. He stepped of his truck and closed the garage door, and went inside, setting the mail down on the table next to his recliner. Tecumseh showered and ate a small super consisting of a frozen chicken pot-pie dinner. He sat down to watch the news, it being 10:49. While he waited he read the newsletter, and looked at the pictures. He hadn't noticed how quickly the kids were growing the last time he'd visited. He should go and visit again soon, but his schedule was full for the next month or so. He sighed, and made a mental note to ask Sarah to plan some time off for next month.
Today's news included the death of man in Oxford, England, the owner of a small pub apparently. The odd part, was that he had apparently died of a concussive blast that had crushed his internal organs, though he also seemed to have sever case radiation poisoning. That was a thing that hadn't been in the news for a long time, and now some guy had been killed in the middle of Oxford while he was being exposed to radiation. The report mentioned a survivor that was being treated for radiation sickness and several other injuries. Well, if that wasn't a neon sign screaming "Radioactive Elemental Here", then Tecumseh wasn't sure what else it could be. At least the media hadn't picked up on that possibility yet. Nothing else was of any particular interest to Tecumseh and he retired for the evening shortly there after.
