Gary looked over his hand-picked group of “soldiers,” men and women he felt certain shared his pragmatic world view. These were people he could count on to get the job done, even if that meant shooting a man in the back to keep him from being a problem tomorrow, or next month, or maybe someday. Most of them had been at Nettletown, and he’d seen them doing what was needful without hesitating.

His lips flatlined. “Okay, people, listen up. There’s twenty of us. I don’t think they got more than sixty people who can and would shoot a gun. That sounds like a lot, but they don’t know we’re coming. We’re going to go in there and own the place, right from the start. Every last one of them will follow the herd’s lead, like the good little sheeple they are. You want to avoid problems? Deal with the first one that shows its face by blowing it clean-the-hell-off. You get me?”

A chorus shouted, “We get you, sir.”

His jaw muscles relaxed a bit. “So, we’re going to walk in with swagger. Like, it’s a done deal. These assholes are already gonna give us what we want, we just got to make them realize it. The first person down there who has an opinion, I’m going to regulate them. Immediately, without hesitating. Then I’ll make a speech, but while I’m doing that, all of you got to look scary as hell. Let as many people see down your rifle barrel as you can, but do it slow. Not frantic. Remember, we’re in charge, so there’s no rush. But unless they start shooting back, I don’t want any of you asshats to fire one damn bullet without me saying to. You want I should shove my boot up your ass? Don’t screw this up for us. Black promised folks stuff to make our lives easier, and we’re here to make sure that happens. You get me?”

Again, the chorus.

Gary grinned. “I don’t know about you all, but I’m looking forward to getting a nice, new air filter and a generator to run it on. These people aren’t even using this crap. After what we’ve all been through, we deserve some toys, yeah?”

Smiles and nods. Yes, he’d done a good job picking his team. They were about to project force all over the monkeys living in Burnsville. The monkeys just didn’t know it, yet. He hopped into the back of his pickup truck and grabbed the team’s mounted machine gun with one hand, then slapped the truck’s roof with the other. “Let’s roll, pilgrim.”

The truck pulled back onto the road, right behind the lead SUV and ahead of the other six vehicles, all cars. There had been seven, all equipped with hard-mounted CBs, but the transmission had gone out on one, forcing its occupants to squish in between passengers of some of the other cars. At least it hadn’t cost him any people, since they’d managed to fit elsewhere, and that was the important thing.
