An hour later, Nana insisted that she walk over to Rocky’s house to take her pot of homemade rabbit dumplings. Danny had sampled a few, but was still hoping that they’d be invited to eat with the Cooks.

Pauline opened the door when they arrived. “Come in.”

“How are you holding up?” Alisa gave Pauline a big hug.

“Better. That was quite a morning. Of all the things your mind tries to prepare you for . . . I never expected a bunch of thugs putting themselves out to be a legitimate government to show up on my doorstep.”

Danny snickered. “Yeah, I thought those days were over with.”

“Well these here dumplins will have you feelin’ fit as a fiddle.” Nana took the pot to the kitchen.

“Where’s Rocky?” Danny inquired.

“Out back, building a fire, to get rid of the . . . the bodies.” Pauline turned her head. She was a sweet woman, kind and gentle, but she wasn’t cut out for the apocalypse.

“I’ll go give him a hand if you ladies want to set the table.” Danny didn’t mind pitching in, but he wanted it to be understood that he expected some rabbit dumplings if he was going to be dragging dead bodies up on a wood pile.

Danny headed out back to find Rocky. “Hey, need a hand?”

Rocky had a sufficient amount of wood collected, but hadn’t gotten around to moving the corpses yet. He cracked a faint smile and gave a nod. “Sure, thanks Danny.”

Danny grabbed the arm of one of the fallen guards. “Did you go through their pockets?”

Rocky shook his head as he grabbed the man’s other hand to drag him over to the wood pile.

They stopped at the pile and Danny bent down to unzip the man’s tactical vest, remove his belt, and boots. “AK-47 magazines in his vest. All full. This is like Christmas.”

Rocky evidently hadn’t become quite as battle-hardened as Danny. This was Danny’s fourth engagement and he was losing all sympathy for his assailants. If they were evil enough to try to hurt him or the ones he loved, he felt no remorse for sending them on down the line. While not quite up to the task of assisting JC in the information gathering process, Danny was quickly adapting to this uncivilized environment and lost no sleep over whatever had to be done to the aggressors who were reluctant to share what they knew. Danny riffled through the man’s trousers, extracting a knife and a tactical flashlight. The shirt and pants were too blood stained to be of any use.

“Okay, let’s get him up on the wood pile.” Danny took the man under the armpits and nodded for Rocky to grab the legs so they could hoist him up.

Next, they proceeded to do the same to the three other men. Danny took the vests of the four, all of which had full magazines for their rifles, since the attackers had all been eliminated before they had a chance to reload. Some never got off the first shot.
