Can we survive VII
Moe 's story cont.

Ralph and Toni were talking with a dishevelled, I think it is a man. What ever, it was ill-gotten. Ralph came over ... Moe this dirt pile says her name is voodoo. You almost rode in on their encampment there are three adults and 5 Thomas Kyd all one kin. They have been hiding out ever since this plenty started. The Blue chapeau have a detachment at the entree of Timber ridgepole. We can get by them but not with our ATVs, they would get wind them. Oh and Juju says she is sorry for shooting you. It was her final stage bullet.

I told them to spread out and to set up a collapsible shelter for the young ones. This is going to learn some scouting and preparation. We fed all the tyke and our new additions, who had nothing but water from a bound Which I told them to make use of to moisten themselves. I did not want any illness from lousy conditions.

I had been evaluating my archetype crowd, watching how they moved and found another of Toni 's attributes ... she was a born in the bush. After Juju was cleaned up I discovered she was fourteen and she too was a natural and the most experienced out of all the tyke. None of the adults could be depended upon. Juju says they are in defense. Plus the two women, female parent and thousand female parent had been repeatedly raped by the Blue Hats. When the father objected, they beat him senseless.

Juju was the dough winner the brains the heart and somebody of her family. Juju had hidden and avoided the blue hats and later that night managed to slip her sept out of Ithiel Town. The Blue Hats did n't manage. All this bunch was interested in was robbing and raping.

Juju led our first pathfinder, she pointed out many affair to Toni and even a few to me. The bluing Hats of timber Ridge Detachment were slovenly and lazy. It was obvious Juju was right it was easy to avoid them.

We were not in a real big hastiness ... We decided to harass them. With voodoo leading our scouting party we evaded the Blue Hats. The whole mind was to pick them apart from the south. Since this clustering thought it was political party metre. They were raiding hard drink stock and crashed where ever they happened to be at the time.

We had a few crossbows available and a few tongue. I had a home made .Bowie knife which was razor sharp. The first nighttime I accounted for 7 slit throats. The others took out four more with the bows. We drug the soundbox aside and hid them the comfortably we could. We were hoping the officers would cogitate they deserted.

We would allow a few daylight for the katzenjammer to taper off then do it again. About a week later we set fire to the enlisted men 's barracks. Only three got out. well-nigh were too imbibe to even get out of bed.

I decided I needed a bit of intel. Our final stage fiddling soiree yielded a dyad of blueing Hat uniforms. The solely one that would fit me was a serjeant uniform. I chukled this should give me a bit more go elbow room. I bypassed the out mail service and entered the area from the South.

No-one seemed to call into question my right to be there. In fact I noticed the few that were working seem to work a small faster and harder. I stood and watched for awhile but did n't sy anything. Occasionally I would frown or nod my head word in the veto. Then I walked away.

I had found a bill pad and pencil in one of the uniform scoop. I opened it and discovered it was written in English language. I had read the SSGT 's bank bill. He was n't too happy with the way the outfit was ran. He called them Civilian soldiers.

I noticed that when I pulled out the notebook computer ... The men seemed to lick faster. I had turned to go deeper into the camp when on officeholder ... a major I think, called out to me.

"SSGT Parks, the Colonel Wishes to speak with you."I nodded and Saluted and fell in behind him.

I glanced to my right Jacket sac there was a name tag 'SSGT Parks'Hmm I wonder why I was n't recognized as fake.. I followed the John Roy Major in to a white construction with two private standing guard out straw man. They came to attention and saluted the Major.

Sitting at a desk across the room was a Sgt., Admin type. He stood and opened a door to the left of his desk and ushered the Major and I into the Colonels bearing. . Also in the room was Two 2nd Lts neither looked over 18.

The Colonel stood up from his desk and extenede his helping hand before I could drink ... I shook his hand and introduced hm self. Col. Mason, the Major Afton and the Lts as cock and Bracelton.

Things were beginning to make sense ... SSGT green was just transferring in, Thats why no one recognized me as him or visa versa.

"Although you are new orders have changed and they affect you."

"How so Sir ?"

"timbre Ridge has been deemed to be of no strategic Value. We are being sent to back up the separation at mountain Holyoke which is twice the size of timberland ridgepole and has been under onrush from rebels."

"How is that to affect me ?"

"Well SSGT Parks your reputation has preceded you. We have to leave a token military force here and since you are the most experienced soldier here I have chosen you to be in burster of the 5 man squad. Any problem with that ?"

I smiled"No sir none at all."I will draw what gear we will need."

"Excellent ! We leave in 48 hours.

*****************************

Moe was shocked, nothing like having everything handed to him on a silver platter. He laughed to himself. He could almost bet the five men left to him would be the defective of them all. Probably thieves, shammer. The low of the low ... Oh well they could die all the same.

Ralph had been with me on this scout. He was waiting outside for me."Ralph get back to camp and tell Joann what is going on. She is to contrive our plan of attack. We will be active into town in 72 hours."I laugh,"We will only have to deal with five men not a Company."

Moe looked at the five men he was to be left with. He smiled he had been right they were the degs of society, Slovenly and inebriate to reboot."The rest of the society are moving out in about 48 60 minutes. You five have been picked to defend this town. Until they leave just stay out of peck. Out sight out of mind."If ( I laughed ) you need me I will be in the Company office."


My five stood at care as the eternal sleep of the troupe began loading up the motortruck. As they pulled out I gave the dictation hand salute. We held the salutation till the hand truck were out of sight'."Two,"we broke the salute.

My five were surprised to search around and find rifles pointing at themselves. We stripped them and planned to locked them in the urban center jailhouse.

One of them was enraged and attacked one of our multitude, grabbing their rifle and dismission ... one shooter before all five hit the ground ... The poky mobile phone would not be needed ...


The hold up paragraph and this was written by Joann.

At first it was a boisterous time, we had won with only one shot fired at us ... then the inflammation turned to remorse ... The sudden recognition ... We were on our own ... The one shot, had hit our leader, Moe ... he died instantly.

We would stimulate to learn and query everything always asking"How would Moe have done it ?

We knew not what to do former than occupy the town of Timber ridge and build it ours.

THE END
