I grabbed Joan, Ally, and Mike and said, “The Sheriff has six kids and two adults that have come down with the disease. There has been over 35 dead in town, so far. Are y’all okay with me giving Bert enough antibiotics and anti-diarrheal medicine to treat his people? We have more here and a large supply at the hideout.”

“Of course, but he can’t know about the rest of the medicine.”

They all felt bad about hoarding medicine but knew it could save their loved ones later.

“Bert, we will help look for medicine, but as soon as you can get all of your people here, Joan is going to give them enough antibiotics to treat the ones that are already sick. We don’t have enough to help the town and giving you medicine to take to town would just start a riot. Let’s load your truck up with some clean water and a couple gallons of bleach so you can treat water in town. Hurry and get the families out here. We’ll get their quarters ready and set up a makeshift hospital large enough for the sick. I know you know this, but we can’t let it leak out we have antibiotics, or we’ll be run over by people from the city, and we don’t have enough for ourselves if there is an outbreak here.”

Bert had tears in his eyes when I told him we had medicine for his people and he could bring the sick ones out here to be treated.

He grabbed my hand, shook it and said, “Thanks, we will forever be in your debt.”

“You may be paying that debt sooner than you think if this disease gets worse. People will try to leave the city and find a safer place, and our community covers everything southeast of the city and the river has the northeast blocked. Can your roadblocks send them west or southwest without causing too much suspicion?”

“I’ll make it happen, and my deputies will be on board since their families will be in your community.”

“I thought that would be the case. Thanks for helping protect us. We do appreciate you and the deputies. Joan really appreciates Chuck.”

“I know; he has a smile a mile wide since they started dating.”

Once upon a time, that would have made me a bit jealous or at least require one of my smart assed comments, but I was just happy for Chuck and my ex.
