Somehow or other we did manage to sleep, at least until the rain started which was after what should have been lunch time. When we woke up Jeff and I did our business and then I tried to get Daniel cleaned up without letting him get too chilled from the rain. He was already sounding congested and I knew that wasn’t a good sign. He’d done the same thing a couple of times before because he wouldn’t keep his coat or shoes on. We all watched him as much as we could but sometimes he would sneak out in the middle of the night and sit on the porch roof. That’s when Dad nailed his bedroom window shut even though it was a fire hazard.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOhdkapPKz

“Jeff, how long do you think it is going to take us to get home?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnKMIEGtH8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhoc2zDIT
He was trying to help me get some water down Daniel. Daniel wasn’t fighting us but he wasn’t helping either. I could tell my brother was in there somewhere but he had buried himself deep and didn’t seem interested in coming out any time soon.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr93CxEOrIz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5OVZfr1L4
“I think we can make it tonight, before morning anyway. If it was just you and me I know we could with no problems but with Daniel …,” he trailed off. “Dacey, has he ever been this … this bad?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkiXb5vGod
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmL6CYOHNg
“No. Not ever. And I think he is getting sick … I mean like sick sick, not sick in the head sick. Hear the pops and wheezes when he breathes in and out?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZ2mtuTxa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGqYFnozY6
“Yeah, I do. And that’s not good Dacey. If … look, I’d find us a place out of the rain but I don’t think that is such a good idea. We need to get some decent food into Daniel, some soup or something like that. I ain’t kidding when I say I could use some better food than I’ve been eating too. You aren’t much better off no matter that you haven’t complained. We also need to find some place to keep Daniel so that he feels safe and will come out of … of whatever this is. The only place of I know to do that is the cave and … I just want us to find our hole and crawl in for a while, give me time to think. It is just a matter of time before they send trucks out into the woods.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5yqnhq6PV
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujUwG5Qzop
Jeff was older than me but he wasn’t an adult any more than I was. I knew he was doing the best he could but he seemed so sad and even a little scared underneath the guy stuff he had going on. I thought to maybe lighten his load a little. “If we can get to the cave we’ll be good and hid for a while. Dad set it up for the end of the world and this is doggone close to it I guess. I haven’t even really thought about … you know … missing them and stuff yet. But I wouldn’t worry too much about them sending their trucks after us.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7bWqf8nlq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbjgsbT68e
Jeff started eating another morel and nodded. “Yeah, probably … actually might depend on who won last night. The Blue Hats had superior numbers at the camp and decent firepower, but a lot of their people seemed to be civilians. Those Chinese dudes … they didn’t have as many as far as I could tell, but they had the same firepower. The big thing is they looked to be a trained force and if they came from the southern border they would have also had battle experience. Some of those UN people seemed like they were scared of the woods … they acted like they’d gotten some kind of terrible disease just ‘cause they got a few little chiggers.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbO61tKqCz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYr4pAH1p3
“I don’t mean that … though now that you mention it some of them women on our side were nothing but big scaredy cats and jumped at nothing all the time. What I meant was that we don’t have to worry about their trucks or the buses.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfmXy1Rk4m
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfjAgJl4K
Jeff stopped chewing in mid-bite and gave me a look. “This wouldn’t happen to be about what you didn’t tell me last night would it?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUMnZAppMY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOH8ArnlSW
I shrugged, “Yeah, sorta.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a0l2PJIQP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sAeuISGfP
“Sorta?” he asked suspicious.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXIjrX2PNK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXsRQoWcU7
Then I did a little song and dance trying to keep from getting the lecture I knew was coming. “Well, like you say you’re feeling … I couldn’t just sit around doing nothing. I read about stuff like this in social studies and saw it on the History Channel. They were trying to indoctornate us. It was like a cult or something. So, to keep from being brain washed I decided to fight back. One night I snuck out and put a lot of clay and gravel in all of the fuel tanks out in the parking area. I killed the engines so they had to stop bringing more kids.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAhwnmA7Fx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOzJ0YQBt0
Jeff’s jaw got real stiff and he squished the mushroom he was holding in his fist. His eyes kinda got buggy too. After he managed to swallow what was left in his mouth without breaking his teeth he looked at me and said real careful, “One, it’s ‘indoctrinate’ not ‘indoctornate’ and you know it so don’t pull that little girl crap with me. Use that dumb girl act on someone stupid enough to fall for it. Two, you better be glad Daniel is right here or I swear I’d blister your backside better than Uncle John ever did. Three, a little bit of dirt and rock in the fuel tank ain’t gonna ruin no engine.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7DCuoShvR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8sw0w8jwP
Getting mad because he wasn’t recognizing just how good a thing I did I told him, “One, I’ll call it anything I want to. Two, you and what army? And three, it wasn’t just a little bit of dirt and gravel, it was a lot of it.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs2VMqYiJa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXctGUuBWK
He started breathing through his nose like Mr. Norris’ cranky bull. It took him three tries before he could say anything back and he was still chewing on the words as they left his mouth. “Dacey … you … you … Now you listen here girl. Uncle John would want me to look after you and I’ll do it but you are going to by God have to listen to me ‘cause … ‘cause I don’t … I ain’t never …” He stopped again. “Look here, you can’t go around taking chances like that. Not ever again.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoVRHyYW2f
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweX52rzwYh
I threw my chin out still mad at him. “Don’t try and tell me what to do. You’re the one that wants to run off.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTBgylM9k
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHigKrLpU4
“We aren’t going that direction. You’ll just get me all turned around and inside out trying to throw me off the scent. We’re talking about the chance you took. I’m not saying … well, OK … I’ll admit that I might have done something like that when I was your age but you didn’t kill the engines Dacey. Anybody with a little bit of sense could drop the fuel tank and dump out the dirt and gravel. You probably ruined the fuel filter and might have even gummed up the injectors. Might have tore up a few of the diesels maybe … but only maybe … assuming anything made it passed the filter. It would knock and ping and cut out since the filter was clogged but that’s about it unless something happened to mess with the fuel pump too.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd2RkK5ldA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HitzoJjXT
Not ready to believe I wasn’t the heroine I thought I was I asked, “It works in the movies and stuff. If I had sugar or salt I would have used that.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7KGyeLz8G
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFnSBkNidf
He just rolled his eyes. “Didn’t Uncle John tell you to stop watching them wild movies you like so much? You can’t honestly think everything you see is real. Remember what he told you: Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFBDIY3X1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBAdoPXWvu
“Ok Mr. Know-it-all then why did the cars and buses stay parked? Why did they stop bringing kids in?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhms00Xfc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpt5rM8UGG
“No more room at the inn.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xejUdfPss
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxO6toyfro
“Huh?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPRGnEjGW3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ217XOJTC
“We were all full up. There wasn’t room for any more kids, at least on our side of camp, I don’t know about yours. The little boys were stacked like cord wood. Jackson … one of his grandmother’s was Turkish so he’s heard it since he was little … said he overheard a couple of guards saying that they were waiting on another fuel delivery, or maybe running low on fuel, something like that.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZJB7ZkRrC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eDxUaOI5e
Severely disappointed I said, “Oh.” But then I brightened and said, “But the other stuff worked.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFYMcn0yWL
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7tgsv9ifL
Jeff started choking on the next mushroom he’d started eating. “What other stuff?!”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVPzfdqzuF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnhwhA4Uiu
“Oh relax, it was a lot easier than spending all that time messing around in the parking lot.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoqFgVG8uZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhBoBt7xi0
“Dacey …!”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuDjTEhRr8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXWMcvCYeT
“Oh for criminey sake … I stuffed up the plumbing to the commandant’s quarters , let some animals do their business in the staff food lockers, and then another time I poisoned a bunch of people.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCvMtFTAlc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIOzYIxVZL
None of it went over very well and by the time Jeff was done he’d ripped a pretty good strip of flesh off my pride. I wanted to bash him a good one and was as mad as he was … only he had to stop because he couldn’t keep a straight face.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COabrcIVb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvDBfDB6LD
“You really put rotten meat in the staff’s food?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmgfurbBNG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqGNbj6CK2
“Yeah,” I said angry that he was treating me like a little kid. “I told you I did. The only bad part was when we all got locked in our cabins.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S55LqYmyc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0WdaQFcpj
“That was you?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSwrrPTkaY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hsbeF1k6z
“I told you …,” but then I had to stop because he fell over sideways trying not to make any noise while he laughed.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr9OYREURC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kYj45R0zo
“All … all the … all the guards had … had the trots for … two days. And that’s when they weren’t puking so hard it was … it was coming out their noses!!” He was nearly eating his hat trying not to howl.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYwi9QO67o
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZbmFKV5Rb
Guys, I swear, they find the weirdest things funny. Either way we were back to square with each other. I still got the “Dacey, don’t do stuff like that anymore” talk but that I could live with.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjnVX6tIHZ

“Jeff?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj4HrvSbWl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh18MLq0BM
“What now?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqp5Oh06mK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFz9zHh1CZ
Afraid to ask but knowing I had to, “What happened to all the little kids? I didn’t even think about them ‘til just now when you said something.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR91Nq5BGO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYUTZfTwfZ
“Some of the kids from the highschool were rounding them up.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaIBbZ0v15
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyN7l70Qnt
“How do you know?” I asked, worried he was telling me a story just to make me feel better.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlylPXdeZKW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4WSlkN0m
“Most of the little kids had older brothers or sisters. I’d run over to find you and saw the little girls being hustled into the woods. I know the same thing is bound to have happened to the little boys as a couple of my bunkmates said that’s what they planned to do if they got the chance.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5m0a3Nsbi
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RiN6dxSVR
“You aren’t just making it up?” I asked still worried that he was.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCYoENfetS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFXlVcAW1Y
He looked at me real close, “I make it a policy not to lie anymore than I can help it Dacey. It is too easy to get caught out. My dad taught me that at least.” When I just kept looking at him he said, “I’m telling you what I’m pretty sure happened beyond that I don’t know. I hope no one hung around Nature’s Classroom too long. If I was out looking for kids in this area that’s one of the first places I would go. Now stop teasing yourself over it. It is what it is. I can’t look after everyone else. I’ve got enough on my plate doing for you two.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3lKbKorFN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4IChevbv8
Talk died down after that and we just sat trying to dodge most of the rain by staying under the tree. The bugs were starting to bite and the sun was going down before Jeff said it was time to get going. “Dacey, does Daniel sound any better to you?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRaguRKE5p
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAQz7CQOR
“He doesn’t sound any worse.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMAW5Y3bjT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UAbTY88nt
“You think we’ll get very far with him like this?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98dR08TNnB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKpeu0tp3M
I looked at Daniel. He was walking on his own … mostly … it just didn’t look like anyone was home behind his eyes.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHLTDKz25b
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhwNhi2bVw
“I don’t know Jeff. I’ve never seen him like this. I won’t leave him behind if that’s what you’re wondering.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8TsmbiGfC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistdR2OrSA
He got an awful look on his face. “Do you honestly think I’d do that to the kid?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2jtBLTOKT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZPFhLNGPD
I felt bad as soon as I saw how hurt he was. “No. I’m sorry. It’s just …”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMKtnB9dPj
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HXjC3foyi
He shrugged me off but I could tell he was still a little bent despite his words. “Don’t worry about it. I shouldn’t have lit into you like that. I’ll carry him if I have to but I’d rather not. The scabs aren’t healed up all the way on my back.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqyoWD6lQ1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2SaKjOf3s
Then I felt really bad. I hadn’t thought a thing about him getting hurt back when they raided the farm. He must have seen my face. “Like I said Dacey, don’t worry about it. I’ll carry him if I have to, I’d just rather not. It will slow us down even more.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHssHxUYWn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZHE1fpt9P
We started walking. Uphill. Downhill. Through mud and forest muck. Over and through streams that wet us up to our knees when we couldn’t find a better way to cross. I started out holding Daniel’s hand and then had to grab him around the waist. I was scared he was going to wander away from us in the dark and we’d never find him. Finally Jeff said, “It’s no use Dacey, I’m going to have to carry him. He’s falling down tired.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfxO8MlMQw
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqFA3oOF4w
We tried getting Daniel to hold on but he was limp as a wet noodle so Jeff wound up having to carry him just about like a sack of potatoes. That really slowed us down. We had to stop about every fifteen minutes. Jeff’s face was getting grayer and grayer and I didn’t think it was a reflection of the moonlight.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhfLa9zcFC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTShpr4MQlQ
We finally came to the barbwire fence that marked the edge of the BLM land. I tore my pants helping to get Daniel over but right as the sky was turning pinkish we got to the edge of the clearing where the sink was.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2chpnkRLcf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLZxLlqkO1
“You stay here with Daniel. I’ll make sure nothing has been touched.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFixvTGPiS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tf1UoQhFn
Jeff finally came back but not before I just about didn’t throw up from being so scared. “Looks OK but it’s going to be worse getting him down into the cave than it was getting over that fence.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaB3yvSVT6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcCChKjon4
“I know but I think if you go down first and I slide him down to you …”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKgKDhwOII
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaNwW2tlrH
“No. That’ll leave you out in the open.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWhcej7mVR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLQ9Bum6Jn
“Jeff, if Daniel falls I won’t be able to catch him before he rolls down to the bottom. The ledge isn’t very big. I might go over with him.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IPErFgOhH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXL6sQePWO
“Fine.” But I could tell Jeff wasn’t happy. “If you hear anything you lay flat and still and try and hide in the tall grass.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LQDN0qKm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVLJUjO9L5
It actually wasn’t as bad as we worried it was going to be. Daniel must have been awake enough to recognize where we were at and he actually skinnied down the handholds nearly on his own. But that’s the last thing he did on his own.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbazknXOg3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Xvl2Kbu2
I nearly came out of my skin as I was going down and came face to face with one of the hens from the coop. She wasn’t impressed with me at all and nearly pooped on my hand and would have if I hadn’t read the signs.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpDrG1s5oc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyTvEI3voF
Jeff who’d seen me jump pulled me down onto the ledge and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you hear something?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKeiEeoLam
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo35jVkNBTT
“No. Just a crazy biddy startled me is all. I don’t know if the hens have started laying yet, the ones at the house hadn’t. Let’s get Daniel inside and if you clean him up I’ll see what Momma has …,” I stopped, suddenly upset and wanting to cry.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk0i9kLiiu
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexar4WdyUW
“Dacey, don’t … not yet. Can you hold off for a little longer?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF17zwhgAOC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMBmL5mvZq
I nodded and wiped my eyes on a clean patch on my sleeve. Jeff worked the combination on the door and we both grabbed Daniel and got him inside. It was dark as the inside of a pig’s belly and I heard Jeff grunt as he ran into something before he found the switch that turned the lights on.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBkV5QDuhb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XQA0tyh6w
Only a few of them came on and they were dim. I tried to see what was wrong but Jeff said, “I only turned on the one set and have them on dim; hopefully that will save batteries. Let’s take care of Daniel …”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjbyYNSHzq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CCjFEtmCb
“You take care of Daniel. I’ll start some soup.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUnQNQu7cD

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSELL9a4UcM
As Jeff all but carried Daniel to the bathroom I grabbed the rechargeable flashlight and went towards the old wood stove that Dad had brought into the cave one piece at a time. The stove pipe went out a dug tunnel where it came out in the woodlot. There were washable filters in several places that caught most of the soot and smell but we’d still need to be cautious of sparks and things like that.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk9kh4MIWN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClicoL5To4
Once I got a fire going in the grate I put a big pot of water on and then grabbed a quarter of chicken soup from the pantry that I dumped into a big saucepan. I threw in some alphabet shaped noodles because Daniel liked them better than other noodles which he said felt like worms on his tongue.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNradV6Vxo8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQAKA1PFO3
Jeff propped a much cleaner Daniel in a kitchen chair and sat down beside him. I fed them both as much as they would eat; Daniel not much, Jeff could have eaten everything and then some himself but he stopped short and made me eat some too.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyHJbgmzWN

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF3kcLzuIO
We were sitting there half asleep when Daniel slid out of his chair. “Oh Daniel. Jeff, help me get him to the beds. I’ll sleep in there and you can have my room.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUSUT2ol1
