Rotten seemed better in the morning, he looked worse – his eyes bruised a dark purple, edged in ugly green – but he acted more like himself. We shared a bed and I had plans to check on him every couple of hours, but Cici and the Drs. Barnes stepped in with a flashlight several times overnight making sure he was okay. All of our group woke rested and ready to face the day.

The kitchen was busy when I stepped in before sunrise, Hattie was making biscuits, Maddie was flipping bacon in an iron pan, and Mrs. Williams was back on laundry duty, folding the local’s clean clothes. Moonshine motioned to our group, and some locals, and we stepped out on the front porch to talk out of the earshot of Bradshaw.

“We’re going to need food to feed all these people,” Troy stated.

“And I want to get that other computer case from the feed and seed,” Highland said.

“Those girls need pregnancy tests, not saying I don’t trust the rabbit test, but I think we should double check,” Princess insisted.

“Dr. Barnes said they have their medical bags in their car,” Bear said. “And I need to milk the goats.”

“That kid, Ben, says he has a drone with a camera on it, that could come in handy,” Moonshine said.

“We need to check out the MIB’s cars, and maybe bring back a couple if we can find the keys,” Rotten said. “Maybe we should give one to Bradshaw and let him go. We can’t trust him, and he’s in the warm house, while we’re out here in the cold.”

“We should think about that,” Sully objected. “We can find somewhere to put him, but I don’t think we should let him go, not yet.”

“Sully’s right,” Leon agreed.

“We could lock him in the bus,” I suggested.

Princess shook her head. “I don’t want that pervert looking through our things or touching our stuff.”

“I’ve got a freezer full of meat,” Bernard said.

“We have to do something with him while everyone is off getting the things we need. I don’t want him around the kids, and frankly, I don’t want him around Hattie, Connie, Maddie, or Mrs. Williams,” Princess persisted.

Troy looked at her for a moment and nodded. “You’re right. We’ll get him something to eat, bundle him up, and put him back in the shed.”

Satisfied, Princess grinned. “Okay, Bernard has a freezer full of meat.”

“And a decent grill we could load up on the truck and bring here.” Bernard smiled at Princess.

“So we need a crew to go to Bernard’s house, and a crew to go to town, and what about the drone? Do we need it?” Moonshine asked.

“We need more computer power, mine’s running the sound board, and I’m not ready to do too much exploring on the MIB’s computer yet,” Highland said.

“I have a nice laptop that my daughter gave me, haven’t used it much, we can get it when we get the meat,” Bernard offered. “The Chappells live way on the other side of the compound.
