Candy shook her head, her body stiff. “I don’t like it. Not one bit.” Her eyes met the two men confronting her. “It’s too risky.”

Wally groaned and turned away, but Henry doubled down. “Candy, if we don’t do something, and quick, there won’t be anybody left standing to defend us from the nomads that Hatch ran into.”

“That’s assuming they even come this way,” Wally interjected. “We can’t know what their intentions are. Hell, they could be planted out there and just attacking anybody who traveled that certain road.”

“Yeah, like the old highwaymen,” Henry added.

Candy groaned. She knew they were right. Their supplies were running dangerously low and there were whole families in their little group that depended on the supplies gathered locally.

She stepped away and stared across the neighborhoods separating them from the grocery store. “Do you really think it’s intact?”

Henry nodded. “I’ve been watching it for over a week now. Nobody comes or goes. The Zulus aren’t anywhere near it, and the front is all intact.” He placed a hand on her shoulder to drive home their desperation. “If we don’t do something soon, Hatch is going to come home to find a bunch of corpses.”

She groaned and tossed her hands in the air. “Dammit, I hate to say it, but you’re probably right.” She paced in a tight circle and argued with herself. When she finally stopped, she spun and faced the two men. “How quickly can you do this?”

“Let us use the two big trucks and give us everybody who can carry a weapon.” Henry was fighting the smile that tried to form as he spoke. “We put our best shooters on lookout and anybody who’s capable of snatching and grabbing loads the trucks with anything viable. Canned goods, bagged goods, paper stuff…”

“Toilet paper, tampons, even candy!” Wally added. “You know we need everything.”

Slowly, she nodded. “Fine. Make it happen. Henry, you’re in charge of this shit storm.” She tapped the man’s chest as she spoke. “If this goes to hell…”

“It won’t. We won’t let it.” He failed at keeping the smile from his face. “We’ll be in and out in a matter of minutes.”

“I hope I don’t regret this.” She handed him back the binoculars and headed to the roof access.
