not have someone going home. Some weeks more than one person might get the boot. We’ll keep changing it up to keep the viewers guessing. The last four weeks of the challenge will be the final two contestants competing directly against one another. That’s where we’ll get some merchandising going with team t-shirts and so forth. Also, there will be lots of bonus footage on the website, so flash those pearlies, people. Remember we’re trying to make great television here.”
    Tony’s voice boomed in the small area and the contestants and crew nodded, murmuring among themselves.
    “Keep this in mind. You don’t necessarily have to be the best to not get voted off by the viewers. Be interesting. Be compelling. Whatever you do, don’t be boring. You’ll get booted off in a heartbeat. Now let’s quickly go over the schedule of challenges.”
    Tony ran through the competitions, a much different list than what Griffin had been given at the beginning. Luckily the producers were open to making changes and Griffin had availed himself until the original plan was barely recognizable.
    “I’ll turn things over to Sheriff Sawyer now. If you have any concerns, please let us know.” The assistant tugged on Tony’s sleeve and whispered something into his ear. “Oh yes, Gordon just reminded me. The competition starts right now so we’ll need your cell phones. No contact with the outside world for the next three months that is not supervised. Gordon, pass the box around.”
    The six contestants looked none too happy about handing over their phones but they did it one by one. The box was folded shut and shoved under Gordon’s arm while Sandy complained loudly. Her hands were fluttering and her cheeks were red as if she didn’t know what to do with herself if her phone wasn’t in her fingers.
    “Sheriff?” Tony nodded toward him. “They’re all yours. Let them know what this week’s challenge is going to be and then we can go film the arrival of the contestants first.”
    Griffin walked to the head of the room, trying not to outwardly show his frustration and cynicism about the entire situation. This wasn’t their fault. It wasn’t their problem that he had a desk full of work and deputies that were going to have to pull double shifts for weeks while they were here. It was his job to make all of this work somehow.
    “Today we’re going to do the obstacle course. All recruits need to be able to complete it within five minutes. That’s a goal to work toward. I don’t necessarily expect that today or even by the end of the week. Myself and Deputy Turner will be working with all of you this morning. Then this afternoon we’ll start working in your handbooks. Here in Montana we use several, but for this short period we’re going to concentrate on police procedure which will include arrests, searches, interviews, and privacy expectations. Any questions?”
    Danny raised his hand with a grin. “When do I get my gun?”
    Everyone laughed but Griffin and Dare.
    “You don’t,” Griffin retorted. “Deputies in Training are not issued firearms. Now are there any more questions?”
    This time they all shook their heads and kept their mouths closed. Good. They were beginning to understand what they needed to do. Close their mouths and listen. Learn.
    Griffin stepped back so Dare could take charge. Griffin almost felt a little guilty that he was putting them in his second in command’s hands on the very first day.
    Almost.
    “Recruits!” Dare bellowed, making a few people cringe as the sound reverberated off the walls. No one could pull off that narrow-eyed scowl like Dare. A few people looked like they wanted to dart away and escape.
    But there wouldn’t be any of that.
    “Recruits!” he yelled again. “Line up single file at the door! No talking! No whining!” The contestants sat motionless as if they couldn’t believe what was happening.
    “Move it!” Dare hollered and Griffin thought his ears might bleed. But
