Trouble at Home

"Still can't find them. The storm totally messed up any trace of the missing squad or the work detail. I'm pretty sure they were taken, but everything is so messy, it's almost impossible to even figure out where they went before they were taken," Wayde looked down. It was a weird thing to see on the large man, a sort of half shuffle in his step. He looked almost sheepish.

Bennett said, "Look, it's not you, not your fault. Nobody could possibly do a better job. You've protected this installation, and all the people in it as best anyone possibly could. The storm wasn't something we could have predicted or dealt with. Whatever these people we keep seeing, that's also something we couldn't predict. We were ready for zombies, as many of them as we might run into, but not for this."

"Yeah, I just feel like I need to do something. I want to lead a team myself, get out into the wilderness and take a look. I know it's probably useless, but I just need to do something."

"Alright, give me today, I have a large task queue that I need you for. After that, I will give you your reigns, let you take a team with you."

"Okay, I'll give you today. I guess it won't matter at this point. I just hope they are still alive."

"You and me both. Now, get to work... figure out who you want for your team and be ready."

Wayde left Bennett alone with Naomi. "He's a good man, but this is hard sauce for him."

"Yeah, for me too. I don't know how to let it go. Things are going well here, but I don't think I can accept that things are in such a state of uncertainty. I don't expect to know everything about a situation, but missing teams and mystery people, that's hard to manage or deal with, for all of us. Wayde is just less able to keep that inside. Or at least with me he is, I don't think the men see it."

Naomi started rubbing Bennett's shoulders. "It's okay, I get it. Hell, I'm the one who put this shooting match together. You think it isn't everything I can do not to grab a weapon and hit the road. It's torture. I just don't know that I would be any good at it. I haven't been in the field in years."

"Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'm an administrator now. I want to be a superhero and rush off saving my people, but I would suck at it, and I'm decent at running things here."

The two of them talked over the problem, how to find their people, how to allocate resources. It was boring, it was detailed, it was planning. Bennett was once again astonished at how quick Naomi was at picking up small details. How quick she was. He'd never met someone with a mind for logistics like hers, she knew details he'd mentioned once in passing, she knew details that somebody had mentioned three tables over at dinner.
