Description
Meeting by the river
Story
It was Saturday, and Chief Slade was in a rare good mood. He wasn’t one to get excited over what he considered the milestones of the week, but as the heat of the summer settled into the small mining town of Marceline he'd begun looking forward to Sundays more and more. The comparatively-light rail traffic meant fewer crews were needed, and the work to be passed out was simple, if not repetitive. The less-experienced or less-fortunate would be called in while the old hands could take a break. Enough of the old hands would be around that there wasn't really a need for the chief roadman on any given Sunday, and that suited Chief just fine. His favorite fishing spot was just a short walk from the Marceline rail yard and about halfway home. He could check on the Marceline office in the morning and clock out at lunch time to go fishing for the rest of the afternoon. Sunshine, clear cool water and solitude were waiting.
Of course, he hadn't had much solitude on that riverbank recently. Aleu, his equal in the railroad's workshop and primary obstacle to the engine power that he needed, had been joining him on his Sunday afternoon fishing trips. What had started as a confrontation had turned into something of a stress relief for the both of them, and much to Chief's surprise Aleu always seemed to be clocking out around the time he was. He hadn't been getting much fishing done.
Still, hookups weren’t unheard of among the young and restless of the railroad’s staff and crews. Though he was far from young, he’d been detached for some time and hadn’t really paid the dating scene or the gossip mill around Marceline any mind, that is until Aleu strode up to him on that riverbank. She was bold, and he would have sworn it was only her boldness that had prevailed on him, but every time they met down by the river they wound up sprawled together on a blanket, wrapped in each other’s arms. More than bold, she was young, young enough to be his daughter despite her 23 years. That would have been scandal enough, if word ever got out, but she also happened to be the daughter of the railroad’s general manager and Chief’s boss, Balto Seppala. If he ever found out...

MemberI can understand why Chief would not be able to resist Aleu, but I can not see this affair ending well for Him.
