team and go.” She stated.
“I’ll go with you.” Tina volunteered.
“I’ll go to.” Lisa chimed in as well.
“The fuck you say!” Gizmo interrupted.
Tina turned to her husband. “I’ve done
missions with y’all. I know what I’m doing and
you just got back. You don’t have to do
everything, you know.”
“Okay guys, stop!” I announced to break up
the argument.
I paced around for a second trying to come
with another solution, but not step on toes.
“Okay, put together your team and take the
Deuce. However, I’m going to need as many
four by four posts as you can get.”
“For what?” She asked.
“We’re going to b
uild a deep trench around
our perimeter to keep the rotters from attacking
us anymore if they make it through the fence. I
need the posts to frame it in so it does not
collapse.” I answered.
“Kris, you care to go? You’ve been on
several missions as well.” Karen asked.
“I’ll go.” She answered.
I looked at my wife knowing that if I
disagreed, I’d pay a price and would turn into a
battle between everyone. So I didn’t say a word
about it. “Why don’t y’all grab Rachel and that
Sandra chick from yesterday as well? I need to
borrow Kris for a minute before y’all leave
out.”
Kris peered at me with a bit of confusion.
“What is it babe?” She asked.
I turned and cocked my head to the side
suggesting that she follow. Kris followed a bit
behind me to the back of the school. We
rounded the corner and I stopped.
I had buried our sweet Sidnie and placed a
make shift tombstone where I had buried her
that read her name, birthday and the day she
died and we love you on it.
Kris covered her mouth and tears filled her
eyes.
“I miss her, I can’t believe I let her get shot.”
Kris cried.
“It wasn’t your fault honey. But, at least now
we have somewhere to come visit her.” I put
my arm around her.
“Thank you TJ.” I love you my Sidnie and
miss you so much, watch over us all and rest in
peace baby.” She stated.
Kris wiped her eyes as I turned suggesting
we get things back on schedule and made our
way back to the group.”
“Sounds good. We’ll be back later today
with the supplies.” Karen stated.
“May want to grab hammers, nails, bolts and
nuts while you’re there.” I suggested.
“Yes, I’ll grab that along with saws, levels
and anything else I see that we can use.” She
responded and walked off to find the other two.
I went on to start training the guys on the
backhoe.

“Lisa, you and Tina want to go fill up the
Deuce and we will meet y’all at the gate after
finding the other two?” Karen asked.
“Yep, on it!” Both of them responded and
went about their way.
Karen and Kris set out to find Rachel and
Sandra.
“So where
did this Rachel girl come from
and does anyone know about this Sandra?”
Karen asked Kris.
“From my understanding Rachel was brought
back with the guys and guess we need to talk to
this Sandra; I’ve never seen her.” Kris
admitted.
“Well okay then, let’s find these girls I
guess.” Karen’s red heels clacked on the
sidewalk outside of the school.
“Hey Lisa, we need to grab some extra
ammo and maybe some food just in case?” Tina
questioned.
“Pro
bably both a good god damned idea to
have!” Lisa shot back from around the gas tank
of the Deuce she was filling.
Tina ran to gather what was needed and
made it back before Lisa could get the Deuce
fired up. Tina put two rifles and two pistols and
the small amount of food she had gathered
along with the ammo for all of the guns in back
before jumping in the front. She and Lisa had
their rifles swinging from the straps over their
shoulders to keep them close.
“I can’t believe that we have to take this
Rachel bitch!” Tina let out.
“What the hell was she doing with them
anyway?” Lisa asked as she tried to fire it up
again.
“Hell, I don’t know. They found her and
didn’t want to leave her out
