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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeMnrVKyIl

“Jeff, how long do you think it is going to take us to get home?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH402ShkVf
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykS6KBDETQ
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznqA9pLbrj
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFkxETB37N
“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?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRQj9SQMrc
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y29CXgBci
“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?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjcZOQPBrh
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkYEJGzkWh
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOiPTTZZNo

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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZrJPnLvO
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDDxlCft4n
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXgnfMR9e
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0HuLygiKU
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPbCXNB8HR
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAzvGcGJ0S
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?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXO83qai4Y
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yXT3vFKZc
I shrugged, “Yeah, sorta.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3DSRmJh6
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxOvX5vmb6
“Sorta?” he asked suspicious.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZRpM8GYT6
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqjjRXpOR3
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlsBT9w90x
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRplNgOyzl
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSBuZNCBmH
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22zWGd382q
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe17tYLy0o4
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmKZZv7t4Z
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsavtKVE9J
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLOUScJfsC
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19jdnG31HZ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0t5XP389
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bmuYzceB2
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpL30L7kLK
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzXbWQUMRH
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTaLiHod3
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUhY7jFdk2
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJYy0x7Gqj
“Ok Mr. Know-it-all then why did the cars and buses stay parked? Why did they stop bringing kids in?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTVdb8g8m5
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqRVzGjK6T
“No more room at the inn.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJmTMwi7Ri

“Huh?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1EqmksmZJ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmEHGo3e62
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcW8xjkgqk
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagXPbOCt85
Severely disappointed I said, “Oh.” But then I brightened and said, “But the other stuff worked.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c7D63f0DG
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK0IYJ9V0O
Jeff started choking on the next mushroom he’d started eating. “What other stuff?!”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftPtoNnf6I
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHvVzJ9Dqn
“Oh relax, it was a lot easier than spending all that time messing around in the parking lot.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE47uVnWhV

“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ZIXot00D
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq9HL8jtMC
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfdR3wxphE
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHkCQ983jt
“You really put rotten meat in the staff’s food?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6sTPuevaz
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ioOU78Aj
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nIZLhOENy
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqRVzLFX7u
“That was you?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Fx9ql7oi
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eOdw6BTCW
“I told you …,” but then I had to stop because he fell over sideways trying not to make any noise while he laughed.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkvGbOkCb9
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRAsNGMrkb
“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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBA7uZYJUx
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYtrgNrgDq
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKecsD5AkZ

“Jeff?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24m6WqbZld
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAopVu4ucdt
“What now?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eaJ0VNcQ6
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJwU5gmCgR
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuefvfOymNf
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu3U48VWhU
“Some of the kids from the highschool were rounding them up.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEOmAAfTHK
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmczdNZBpDy
“How do you know?” I asked, worried he was telling me a story just to make me feel better.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKn05NTJ6d
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf35rpobLM
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK4gsSWD77
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTB9bdkoBn
“You aren’t just making it up?” I asked still worried that he was.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjQl8iHbEO
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4BVDsWjnh
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dRiyI1MR
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8thkNXoIvy
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?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHUcLMupzY
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg0wSIYt6f
“He doesn’t sound any worse.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1tqw4sRvu
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvLrKb9pj4
“You think we’ll get very far with him like this?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT1llNSq92
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kCEjuHQI0
I looked at Daniel. He was walking on his own … mostly … it just didn’t look like anyone was home behind his eyes.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzISyyU4Sm
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSVJm72nbT
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPk9o9tOre
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQkiDyRRWJ
He got an awful look on his face. “Do you honestly think I’d do that to the kid?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibKQKRZgAd
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVVD4mahyQ
I felt bad as soon as I saw how hurt he was. “No. I’m sorry. It’s just …”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlgBGLxAZe
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvM93fm7dr
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHMKJNg6DF
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nJLTVVdmz
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ09DGkOmeO
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhoYxo4cyi
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2grLc4LWo
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64OYcyQcgZ
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjsSCqyvpr
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRccszXyPX
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXABLTvETDA
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxTDGkusbW
“You stay here with Daniel. I’ll make sure nothing has been touched.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pjZm1HnJ0
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJGwoB4Uzw
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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkwkw5UoxC
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG8BV7I6Vq
“I know but I think if you go down first and I slide him down to you …”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswBsXz1RlZ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kMoCuRTJq
“No. That’ll leave you out in the open.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtr8TaoRLw
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrEbpGPmwd
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ar71lNNxk
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRxuKNGuUD
“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.”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfVnmYAC0J
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnDVB5u9VL
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6icD3Ivvbm
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWSMpP7hp
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoL5n6m6PJ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliKhyLwCMJ
Jeff who’d seen me jump pulled me down onto the ledge and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you hear something?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFmvWpE4M2
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDDpAq3GA0
“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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzumS1MLQ62
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTeiMWnU0k
“Dacey, don’t … not yet. Can you hold off for a little longer?”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9boHRvHpT
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJNUJqTTVw
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJa6zKPeu
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4pHaSfJ4X
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 …”474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u8SBWyNDn
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPILXHuWfPl

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyNuMi849J
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ4c4jqYzf
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHhY20Huto
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrsUz6OLrQ
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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFMSKCMshF
