sorry I didn’t say anything before. I wanted him to tell you, but I have a feeling the network is going to be bad for the next few days.”
    Jane hugged Frank.
    “You alright?” Frank asked her.
    “Yes, I’m the same as you. Proud but worried.”
    Frank’s cellphone started to ring.
    “Maybe this is Robbie or Sarah,” Frank said. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at it. “It’s the Sheriff.” He answered.
    “Sheriff, thanks for getting it fixed,” Frank said.
    “Sorry, the Sheriff is a little tied up right now, literally,” the voice said.
    “Who is this?”
    “Your old friend Officer Simmons. You want the Sheriff and his Deputy back?”

    “What are you asking for, traitor?” asked Frank. That comment got the attention of Jane and Jerry. They looked at him, and he mouthed ‘Officer Simmons’.
    “Now Frank, that’s not very nice,” Officer Simmons said. “Why would you want to make a comment like that when I have your friend tied up?”
    “Who’s side are you on today, traitor?” Frank asked.
    “The same side I’m always on. The right side.”
    “Yeah, I’ll just bet.”
    “It’s unfortunate that you misunderstood my actions at the RV Park, Frank. I wasn’t going to lock Earl and Jackson up for long. I just needed to question them about the Williams Militia, but you guys have to go and stop me from doing my job.”
    Frank covered the phone receiver.
    “This guy is out of his mind,” Frank whispered. “But he’s got the Sheriff.”
    “You still there, Frank?”
    “Yes, I’m here. What are your terms?”
    “I just want a meeting. With you, Jerry, and Charlie. And I want to interview Earl and Jackson. You just bring them into town and we’ll talk.”
    “Sounds like a good setup for an ambush to me,” Frank said.
    “I mean you guys no harm. And I’m sorry for telling you I was going to get you. I was angry. I didn’t really mean it.”
    “Whatever. Where do you want this meeting to happen?”
    “At the park in front of the Sheriff’s station. In two hours.”
    “Alright, we’ll be there.”
    Officer Simmons hung up the phone.
    “What does he want?” asked Charlie.
    “He wants you, me, Jerry, Earl, and Jackson to go meet with him, in a park in front of the Sheriff’s station. Is that a good place for an ambush?”
    “Yes and no. The park has no cover to speak of, but there are buildings around it. They might have some folks on the roofs.”
    “You aren’t thinking of going in there, are you?” Jane asked. “You know he’s going to try to kill or capture you guys. He might have other militia fighters there.”
    “We can’t just let him have the Sheriff,” Frank said.
    “I’m with you,” Jerry said. Jasmine looked at him and started to tear up.
    “If you’re going, I’m going too,” Jasmine said.
    “Why?” Jerry asked. “What are you going to do?”
    “I can shoot as well as you can,” she said. “Try and stop me.”
    “I’m going too,” Jane said.
    “No you aren’t,” Frank said.
    “Hold it a second, guys,” Charlie said. “I’ve got an idea. Let’s have them show up, but about fifteen minutes after we get there. They can take one of those militia vehicles. Jeb can go with them.”
    “I don’t like it,” Frank said.
    “I can shoot, you know,” Jane said. “If something happens to you, I don’t want to be here anyway.”
    “Okay, if we are going to do this, let’s think it through,” Jerry said. “We have all of those AK-47s. Those are fairly easy to shoot. I’ll get you both checked out on them. It will only take about 10 minutes.”
    “Rosie, are you alright with this?” asked Frank.
    “Jasmine and Jane should go,” Rosie said. “Time to fight for family. It right thing.”
    Jasmine hugged her mom.
    “If I younger, I would go too,” Rosie said. “You go protect man. Then you come back and make babies.”
    “C’mon ladies, let’s go get your guns,” Jerry said.
    “I’ll
