Abiram wasn't at all pleased with himself. The Firearms Tobacco and Alcohol charges brought against Louie would serve the purpose of bringing Sharon back to the Holler; but were clumsy at best; manipulations barely worthy of a dog.

He was also a bit uneasy that the stretch in prison could conceivably cause a violation of the "Do No Harm" paradigm which governed his actions. Still, the chances of that happenning were mostly centered around Henrietta, and with both Sharon and Abiram himself back in the Holler, those possibilities would diminish rapidly. And Abiram wouldn't be facing the high energy costs of long distance wardings.

Henrietta in her 13th year. Yes, it was definately time for Sharon to return to the Holler. And despite the absurdly human state of the emotion; Abiram did want to see and smell the lilac that marked his father's final resting place.
