“What is going on!” I’d pulled on a pair of jeans and a shirt before stumbling out of the bedroom. I was still barefoot. “Explanations, now.”

One of the sentries in the citadel had come into the house calling for Briana and I to get up, that there was a problem we needed to deal with. I’d only just fallen asleep. After leaving the party early, in order to spend some quality time with my wife and son, I played with Asher until he collapsed from exhaustion. Then there were more conversations with Briana, coupled with promises that I would do whatever I could to not go running off yet again, before we finally went to bed.

“No shouting,” she ordered, trailing after me. “Asher is sleeping, and he better not be woken up.”

Like me, Briana had pulled on whatever was handy, in this case a pair of jogging pants and a sweatshirt.

“And if this isn’t an attack, I might just kill someone,” she concluded.

The woman who’d destroyed any chance of a good night’s rest shook her head. There is always a militia member on duty nearby who can enter the house if we have to be alerted to a crisis. As it turned out, all are women. This was Briana’s decision, based on her being more comfortable with the arrangement and justified by freeing up men for duties that require greater physical exertion, or so she claims. Renee, Steph, Lizzy, and the twins can come and go as they please as well.

The front door opened, and the sentry beckoned the others inside. Dale came first, dragging Tim Myers by the arm. His nose was smashed, and the teenager was holding a bloody handkerchief to his face. Tara followed close behind, one hand lightly resting on the pistol at her waist.

“What happened?” I asked.

Alan and Lucy Myers were the last to enter. Tim’s mother looked particularly distraught, but the woman was easily startled and prone to full blown panic attacks. With a personality like that, it was amazing she continued to function, given the entire apocalypse thing.

“There seems to have been a misunderstanding,” began Alan.

I respected this man. He was clever, hardworking, dedicated to our cause. He was also a father, with his son standing before him. That could not be discounted or overlooked. His viewpoint would be colored.

“Tara, Dale?” Briana took a seat. I remained standing. “Go ahead and tell us why you brought Tim here.”

The siblings looked at each other briefly before Tara began. “Mary and Michael went dancing.”

“Then they went for a walk,” said Dale.

“Tim was following them, hiding,” she finished.

“Tim,” I asked, “were you following my daughter and Michael?”

Saying ‘my daughter’ might help remind Alan that his child wasn’t the only one involved in whatever had just occurred. That was a conscious action on my part. I’d been getting better at the psychology aspects of the job.

“No!” The word came out muffled. His nose must have really been broken good.

“Dale?” prompted Briana.

“We stopped him by the dairy stable, the one painted blue.
