“My guess is we’ll need more than a couple. To run an operation this size, they’ve probably got a dozen men, maybe more.”

“Yeah, maybe. But let’s be careful not to bring too many. The more we bring, the more we’ll have to share. And it looks like they’ve only got the one house. I plan to move in there, and I don’t want to be sharing it with a dozen other men.”

“Do you think there’s some women in there?”

“I sure hope so. And I hope they’re friendly, too.”

Kevin laughed.

“Since when is that a requirement? I kinda like it when they put up a fight and I get to slap them around a little. Bloody them up a little bit and they’ll do exactly what you tell them to do.”

Tony smiled.

“Yeah. And after we’re done with them they can cook us up some great big juicy steaks.”

“We have to be careful who we let in on this. If the word gets out we have beef, and fresh food, it won’t last long. We have to make sure whoever gets involved in this can keep their freakin’ mouths shut.

“We don’t want to go through the trouble of taking this place just to let it slip through our fingers.”

“How about this… instead of bringing a whole crew, we just bring two or three more guys? We can hit ‘em until things get hot, then back out again. Come back the next night and then maybe the night after that. They’re not gonna go anywhere. We’ll use their own damn roadblock against them. If they try to leave for reinforcements we’ll stop them at the roadblock and blow them away.”

“I like it. We can take them out a few at a time, until there’s nobody left but the women. Then we can give them the choice. They either play nice and live under our rules. Or they can die like the others.”

As they watched the monitor and saw Tony and Kevin retreating with the ladder, Joyce and Jordan breathed a sigh of relief.

So did Linda, after Jordan updated her and Tom on the two-way radio.

But Tom wasn’t so sure.

“I’m afraid this isn’t over.”

“Why do you say that? They’re leaving.”

“Yes. They’re leaving for now. But now they know what we have. And you can damn sure bet they want it.”

He looked at her intently.

“And you can also bet they’ll be back to get it. And there will be more than two of them.”
