that we have a line on the leadership that took out Hilda’s park. He also knows that we have the expertise to find them and kill them. He basically told us to carry on.”
    “They aren’t going to come in and help us?” Charlie said.
    “Well, yes and no,” Frank said. “They gave us five army radios. Jerry has them, and we’ll spread them out amongst us. He’ll train us how to use them. Then we should check them every hour or so, to see if they have info for us.”
    “What kind of info?” Jeb asked.
    “They said that if they see a force coming at us, they’ll let us know,” Frank said. “They also said that they will
never
show up here without calling us on these radios first.”
    “Good, so that should take one big advantage away from the enemy,” Earl said. “Army vehicles come here unannounced, we blast them.”
    “Yep,” Frank said. “That’s a pretty big help.”
    “So what was their advice?” Hilda asked.
    “Stay off the roads, fortify this place as much as we can, and then go hunt down that militia leader and the ‘Saladin’ character that we saw in the video from the RV park.”
    “So basically he’s telling us to carry on with what we were doing,” Charlie said.
    “Good,” Jeb said. “I want to kill that militia leader up close and personal.”
    “So we’re going to stay here for now?” Jane asked.
    “As long as Gabe will have us, we ought to consider it,” Frank said.
    “I’ll have you as long as you want to stay,” Gabe said.
    “Did they say how safe it is here?” asked Mary.
    “Yeah, they said that there hasn’t been enemy activity in this particular area,” Frank said. “Until today, that is. We do have a problem, though. We don’t know if the enemy knows we’re here or not. That’s what Jerry is over there working on.”
    Mary gave him a quizzical look.
    “Oh, those of you who weren’t out in the meadow don’t know about this yet,” Frank said. “The radio in the chopper was still working, and we heard somebody trying to call in on it. Jerry put his phone next to it with the audio recorder on. He’s trying to find out what was being said. We also tried to fake them out.”
    “Fake them out?” Jasmine asked. “How?”
    “We had Jackson imitate Major Donaldson. He got on the radio and told them that the chopper crashed, and that he needed assistance.”
    “Ah, good idea,” Jane said. “Did they buy it? Did you get any useful information?”
    “They seemed to buy it, and they gave up the location of the scouting party over by Leadville, and the location of the larger force northeast of Grand Junction.”
    “I sense there’s a ‘but’ in there,” Hilda said.
    “Yes,” Charlie said. “Jeb thinks that it was too easy. He doesn’t believe that those guys would have just let their positions out on a radio when they didn’t know who was listening.”
    “Crap, that means that they might know where we are right now,” Jane said. “We might get hit again.”
    “That’s what Jerry is trying to find out from that audio,” Frank said. “We should talk about ways to fortify this place while he’s working on that.”
    Gabe stood up. “Well, we’re in a fairly good position here,” he said. “Three sides are well covered. No force of any size is going to be able to sneak in from those directions. The only problem is the front of the park, but I have some ideas there.”
    “Shoot,” Charlie said.
    “You guys know where the creek is, running along the road by the meadow, right?” he said.
    “Yeah,” Charlie replied.
    “It’s deep and rocky. Nothing’s going to drive over that, not even a tank. And to make things even better, we have a good view of that area from two different vantage points. The pool equipment building, and the registration building that is to the right of the entrance. With the quality of the snipers that we have in our group, it would take several hundred men to be able to get across there and do us
