on the shoulder and pointed to the horizon. It was just before sunset and she had seen a glint of light just below the tree line about a mile out. Imelda raised her rifle and used the scope to check out the tree line.
She said, “Darn, I hope they are friendly because there are a bunch of vehicles heading our way.”
They called for Gus and he drove up to their position with Steve and Jim in the pickup.
Gus said, “That’s John and Scott bringing the rest of our crew home.”
Ginny replied, “You could have told us. What if we had shot at them?”
Gus said, “John told me that he wanted to test our defenses. Y’all passed the test.”
Imelda ran back to the house to tell everyone that the crew from Tennessee had finally arrived. They all came out to greet the rest of their ever -growing family.
There were fifteen trucks in the convoy and all were towing trailers full of food, water, guns and supplies. The string of trucks drove through the gate and on up to the house with John and Beth in the lead vehicle.
John jumped out, shook Gus’s hand and said, “Well we made it and everyone is alive and except for Sam, all are well and sound.”
Gus gave Beth a big hug and asked her, “Has John been good to you?”
She replied, "Yes, he is wonderful. Gus, where is your wife, Robin? I want to meet her!”
Gus turned to see Robin and the rest of the group approaching them. Ann was leading the group and walking fast. Gus introduced Robin and Beth and then left with Jim to help get the trailers unloaded.
Ann walked up to John and gave him and Scott big hugs.
She said, “Now, John, where is this new girlfriend of yours? I want to meet her.”
Beth walked up to John and held his hand.
She said, “I’m John’s new girlfriend and you must be Scott’s mom. He’s told me so much about you.”
Scott said, “I got to go help Jim and Gus, bye.”
He took off running.
Ann said, “John, did you and Scott think that I would make a scene? Y’all probably have this girl afraid of me.”
John said, “Ann, I don’t believe Beth is afraid of anything, however, I did not bad mouth you.”
He took off to help the others.
Ann took Beth by the hand and said, “Beth, you don’t have to be worried about me. I just got rid of John two years ago and am not interested in him.”
Beth replied, “Thanks for clearing the air, but I really wasn’t worried.”
Ann looked at Beth who was wearing short-shorts and a tight fitting tee shirt and was very beautiful, and said, “I’m sure you weren’t darling.”
They both smiled at each other, but before anything could happen, Steve interrupted them and yelled for everyone to gather around him so he could introduce the new comers. He introduced the people from Mobile first.
John asked, “Where is what’s his face, Ann’s boyfriend?”
Steve said, “A long story, but Ann kicked his racist ass out of here.”
Steve then introduced George’s family and the people that George’s team had brought in to join the team. John finally introduced the group from Tennessee to everyone and was ready to get back to work when Steve motioned him over to the center of the crowd.
Steve said, “We have one last introduction and then y’all can go about your business. For those of you who have joined this band of misfits, John Harris is our leader. Say something John.”
John looked over the crowd and said, “Welcome to our bunker. I can’t think of much to say now, but you all know that the country has gone to hell in a handbasket. It appears that elements of our government have actually turned against us and are forcing people into concentration camps. We have food, water, shelter and weapons, but need to keep gathering as much of those as possible until we can expand the garden and find out how dangerous Mobile is. We all need to work together and share the load. That’s it for now. Have a good night.”
As the crowd broke up, Ann said, “Beth, come on into the kitchen and
