Pulling off of Cedar Street, Jonathan followed the truck up the steep, winding driveway of the towering hospital. The brick building sat up on a hill, or down in the hill if entered from the other side. Before they could turn to drive along the side of the hospital toward the entrance, Mad Man Rob swerved out and drove around back. Jonathan could feel that something wasn’t right, and out of a habit he had picked up over the last few months he checked his options for an escape route.

“What is happening?” asked Jonathan. He was nervous and trying to keep a good distance between him and the truck in front in case they needed room.

“Bandits!” Michael exclaimed.

“Really?” Jonathan was sure he was being messed with, but it did seem plausible now more than ever.

“Well, no, but kind of, yes. Remember that old cartoon, the Hatfields and the McCoys? Where the granny sat on the rocker on her porch and shot her shotgun at the neighbors. Every blast rocked her chair again? Think of us as one family, and them,” he pointed to the hospital, “as the other. They’ve definitely upgraded their fleet. I saw a pretty sweet looking military Humvee over there. They didn’t have that last time we ran into them.”

Jonathan pulled up closer behind the truck and rolled down his window. “What do we do?”

“We’re in neutral territory, but they don’t always follow the rules, Jonathan. Their camp is up north. We set up an agreement that if either group needs supplies from certain areas we are welcome to them without any trouble. The last time we ran into them in a neutral zone they killed three of our guys, so we try to avoid them as much as possible.”

Jonathan’s thoughts drifted to Laikynn and the cannibal camp. Not exactly the same, but if the cannibal camp would have left them alone . . . well. Memories flashed in his head. He tried to fight them, but they told him what would have to be done if the two groups couldn’t coexist. Jonathan found it best to leave that part out of the story he told his brother, as well.

Mad Man Rob stepped gently out of the truck, leaving the door open. He ran back to the BMW. “Well? It’s your call. If you think we can trust these bastards this time we’ll go in. If not, we can wait them out.”

“We do not have all day,” Jonathan replied.

“Guillermo won’t starve to death right away, Jonathan, but I know how you must feel about him lying there. Let’s wait for just a little bit, ok?”

“Thirty minutes. Any longer than that and I am going in, with or without you guys.” Jonathan stared straight ahead through the windshield. He didn’t want to see neither Michael nor Mad Man Rob until it was time to go find what he needed.

“I’ll make a deal with you, Jon,” Mad Man Rob said. “You come with me now to grab what I need, and when we get back, I’ll go in with you .
