Diana set off, issuing instructions and consoling family members of the people being held hostage. Much of the food available wasn’t easily transferred from its storage location to the courthouse. There were four sides of beef at the taxidermy-turned-butcher, several bags of harvested wild greens and some boxes of canned goods being prepared for distribution. One by one, volunteers began carrying loads of foodstuffs, and at Diana’s request, left them lying on the ground in close proximity to the truck.

Bishop made for the hotel where the Darkwater contractors were staying. As he zipped up in a borrowed golf cart, he found most of the operators standing outside, curious at what all of the commotion was about.

Bishop quickly explained the situation.

Deke whistled, “This really is the wild, wild West.”

“No shit,” Bishop added, “Any brilliant ideas?”

Deke shook his head, “Hostage rescue is a tricky business, slick. Takes special training and equipment. I know a little bit about the methods, but for sure, we don’t have the equipment. Snake cameras, radios, or cell phones for the negotiator to talk to the crazies - we don’t have any of that stuff.”

The group continued to float a few ideas, but Bishop didn’t hear anything that had a good chance of working without getting a lot of innocents killed. He thanked the contractors and made for the cart when Deke offered, “We’ve got thermal imagers. They won’t show much through the limestone walls of that building, but they can see heat through glass most of the time. I don’t know if that’s any help.”

Bishop scratched his chin, an idea starting to formulate. “Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.”
