Chapter Nine

Love Thy Neighbor

Two days later, on the morning of Day Twelve, another group of people from the church camp were at the gate. Walter, again, led the pack. They stood outside the gate patiently waiting.

“You’re back,” David the gate guard said. He recognized Walter from a few days before.

“Yes, some of the guys here didn’t believe me when I told them about this place. We’re out on another supply run, and I just had to bring them by.”

Three different men from before stood next to Walter, varying in age from twenty to forty, dressed in camouflage hunting gear. They wore hats and were carrying hunting rifles. It seemed strange to David because on their last visit they seemed so careful about not being armed. Walter noticed David examining his group from the other side of the gate’s green bars.

“Don’t worry; we don’t need another tour or anything. I wanted to know if I could talk with the Sheriff.”

“The Sheriff?” David asked. “I’m afraid he’s sleeping right now. It’s still a little early and they were working on that bunker--I mean they were working pretty late into the night.”

“I apologize for showing up unannounced like this. Our leader, Sister Bonnie, really wants to meet the Sheriff. We had nothing but good things to say about all of you guys,” Walter said.

“Where is she?” David asked, looking around.

“Oh,” Walter laughed. “Sister Bonnie doesn’t leave the camp.”

“So I’m guessing she wants the Sheriff to go to her camp?”

“Well, not just the Sheriff. His council and any other influential members of the town.”

“How about me? I’m a pretty influential guy,” David said jokingly.

“Of course, we’d love to have you visit as well.”

David looked around; everyone was sleeping soundly within the town. The sun barely rose and not much could be seen of it in the gray sky. David moved inches within the fence and made direct eye contact with Walter.

“I’m starting to think that you didn’t just happen to be in the neighborhood.”

“We’re always in the neighborhood,” Walter said.

David looked at the group closely, thinking to himself. He wished there was someone else to man the gate with him, but the sooner he got the Sheriff, the sooner the outsiders would leave.

“Wait here,” David said. “I’ll get the Sheriff and be back in five minutes.”

Twenty minutes later, the Sheriff was up and ready for another day. His bedroom was minimal in appearance with a simple twin bed and dresser. Before he left the room, he took a framed picture of his wife, Emily, out from a dresser drawer.

“Just wanted to say hi,” he said, then placed it back in the drawer.

The smiling woman in the picture wore a dark red sundress and oval sunglasses. Her graying hair blew in the wind. She held a hand to her forehead to keep the hair from hitting her face. The Sheriff had taken the picture when they visited the Golden Gate Bridge during a vacation, three years before. Emily had died a year before, after a sudden and unexpected stroke at the age of sixty.
