Hell in the Homeland Read Free Page B

bunker. Two had twin Ma Deuces on top and one had twin SAWs. These could make the difference in the next fight. John felt in his gut that they had not seen the last of the DHS thugs. He was sure there was either an ambush or a large group of these DHS goons between them and the bunker. He did not know this, but that is what he would do. He sent Scott, Bill and a couple of the guys out to scout the area. He told them to split up and each group was to go two miles down the road in opposite directions and report immediately.
    John got in his truck, got a shortwave radio out and tried to see if anyone was broadcasting while waiting on Beth to finish nursing Sam and the scouts to get back. He tuned the dial for a few minutes and heard a couple of men talking about the disaster. He heard, “Most of the world is in the same shape. The Israelis, Brits and our military took out most of the Islamic Country’s militaries that participated in the attack on the western countries and Japan. Russia and China nuked each other when China tried to invade Russia. Only a few countries in Africa and South America still had power and no destruction from nuclear bombs.”
    Beth heard the radio and joined him.  She asked, “Why don’t you ask them where they are?”
    John replied, “Darling, we don’t need the government tracking us down. It’s easy to pinpoint the location of anyone who broadcasts over short wave radios. We just don’t know what they are up to yet. They ambushed our friends who were driving along minding their own business. I just don’t trust them!”
    Beth gave him a kiss and said, “John thanks for knowing what to do to keep all of us out of trouble. You know we have not had a minute alone since we met and I need some time alone with you John.”
    She ran her hand under his shirt and rubbed his belly. John pulled her close to him and kissed her while rubbing her backside.
    He said, “Darling, I think we need to go for a long walk after we set up camp for the night.”
    She smiled and continued kissing him. Scott interrupted them.
    “Get a room,” was all he said.
    Beth threw an empty soda can at Scott. She continued to listen to the shortwave while John debriefed the scouts who had returned. She learned that even though as many as 15 major cities had been nuked, there was very little damage to the rest of the country except for the power being off. The US government had moved to Harrisburg, PA since DC was now a pile of cinders. She also learned that most of the Tea Party congressmen were in Dallas at a conference and had been spared; however, the rest of congress had been decimated.
    Beth said to John, “Am I correct, but over fifty million people have been vaporized and most of them were on welfare or government assistance? They were also mainly Democrats. The USA is now a predominately Conservative country!”
    John told Beth that he despised the liberals that had been running the country, but he never thought that they would be burned alive in a nuke attack. He didn’t say it aloud, but hoped their worthless president and his minions had been vaporized.
    John remembered that they had captured the two nukes that had been heading to Memphis and Dallas. Not only did they save millions of people from being incinerated, they had saved the future leaders of their country. He thought that God must have been watching over them and guiding their actions that night. He also wondered if he could activate the bombs if they were needed because of some dire circumstance.
    Beth searched for other people broadcasting and found over twenty; several were close by. She made a list of what channels and what they were discussing.               She learned that no one really knew what had happened and how bad the damage was. By piecing the discussions together, she found that there was a mixture of people banding together to survive and a great deal of lawlessness and looting. About half of the people didn’t give
