Chapter 10 – Fire Roads

Sid slowed on Wildcat Road as he got to the Barona Reservation gate.

“I don’t see anybody,” Yvonne whispered.

“They’re here, trust me,” Sid said, looking around.

“What now?” Yvonne asked.

“The Fire Department is up ahead, to the right,” Sid said. “The people I know best should be hanging out there.”

“Oh, you met them fighting the brush fire a few years ago?”

“I knew some of them before that,” Sid said. “That’s why I went to help.”

Sid turned right onto Barona Road, followed it about a hundred yards, then turned left into the fire station parking lot. Two big men with rifles trotted up to Sid’s car as he parked. Others came out and held guns on Sam’s Jeep and John’s truck.

“What’s your business here?” asked a big man with a pony tail and eye patch as he approached Sid’s window. He recognized him when he got close. “Sid! How the hell are you?”

“One Eye!” Sid said. “I’m good. How are you, brother?”

“You here because of the UN?” he asked quietly.

“How’d you guess?” Sid asked. “This is my woman, Yvonne.”

“Good to meet you. Let’s go chat in the firehouse, okay?”

“Shall I bring my friends?” Sid asked.

“Sure, bring them along,” One Eye said. He turned to the others and motioned for them to back off.

Sid and Yvonne got out and trotted over to Sam’s Jeep.

“It’s okay?” Sam asked.

“Yeah,” Sid said. He motioned to John and Sarah, and they got out and walked over as Sam, Connie, and Clem got out.

“Let’s go,” Sid said, leading them to the door. They walked in and leaned against the wall next to the two fire engines. One Eye was talking in hushed tones to the others. They left the room as Sid approached.

“One Eye, this is Sam, his wife Connie, Clem, John, and Sarah,” Sid said.

“Nice to meet you all,” One Eye said. “My English name is Jack. You don’t have to call me One Eye.”

“Nice to meet you,” Sam said.

Jack eyed him. “You’re military, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, a long time ago,” Sam said. “Navy Seal.”

“Wow,” Jack said.

“What happened to your other guys?” Sid asked.

“They went back on watch,” Jack said. “We’ve already had the UN in here throwing their weight around. Twice in the last week. One of them told us to enjoy our sovereignty while we can. You guys are hot, so they’re liable to be along, if their intelligence is any good.”

“What do you mean we’re hot?” Clem asked.

Jack chuckled. “Rumor has it you killed a bunch of these guys, and blew up a pass down south. Really messed with their shit.”

Sam looked at him, shocked. “How the hell did you hear about that?”

Jack grinned. “We have a couple people here who know how to crack the White Man’s computer systems.”

Sid snorted. “So I’ll bet you know why we’re here.”

“No,” Jack said. “Actually I don’t.”

“There’s a big enemy supply depot in Fernbrook. It’s supporting the enemy who’s attacking Poway.”

“Really?” Jack asked. “You here to enlist us?”

“Well, we have to pass through either way,” Sid said.
