CHAPTER ELEVEN

Contact.

Debbie looked up, Jim was standing by the doorway, smoke curled out of the shotgun barrel. “What the hell took you so long?” She screamed at him.

“That is fine way to say thank you for saving your life.”

“Sorry, I thought I was dead for sure.”

“You find the radio?”

“Not yet. I believe it’s upstairs in the reloading room.” They walked upstairs together. Turned on the radio and the light turned on. “Good deal, it must be hooked up to battery power.”

“Hello CQ, CQ, CQ this is AB1WR. Alpha Bravo One Whiskey Romeo. AB1WR calling ZJ1SS. Hello CQ, CQ, CQ this is AB1WR. Alpha Bravo One Whiskey Romeo. AB1WR calling ZJ1SS and standing by for a call.”

Debbie had gotten a piece of paper and pen, and written down the call sign he used.

“Any reply?” She’d asked

“Nothing. I’ll try again.”

“Hello CQ, CQ, CQ this is AB1WR. Alpha Bravo One Whiskey Romeo. AB1WR calling ZJ1SS. Hello CQ, CQ, CQ this is AB1WR. Alpha Bravo One Whiskey Romeo. AB1WR calling ZJ1SS and standing by for a call back.”

He’d shaken his head, and she’d taken it from him and tried, but there was still nothing.

“Dammit,” she’d said, dropping the microphone. “It’s been more than seven days since we got this letter, they should be wherever it is the guy’s home town is by now.” She said, her face clearly showing her frustration.

“Maybe it’s just a bad connection.”

“Could you try it in Morse code then, so we’ll know?”

“I’ll try,” he’d said, then, picking the key, he sent.

‘CQ, CQ, CQ DE AB1WR, AB1WR K’. ‘CQ, CQ, CQ DE AB1WR, AB1WR k’

They had gotten no reply still.

Now she stood with the device, repeating the same thing over and over.

“Hello CQ, CQ, CQ this is AB1WR. Alpha Bravo One Whiskey Romeo. AB1WR calling ZJ1SS. Hello CQ, CQ, CQ this is AB1WR. Alpha Bravo One Whiskey Romeo. AB1WR calling ZJ1SS and standing by for a call back.”

Still nothing. Jim went and stood beside her. I am going to go look for ammo. You keep trying. An hour later he returned and said.

“Hey, you need to give it a little rest okay. You’ve been at it all day. You can’t force it to go through. Whatever is wrong with the signal, is out of our power. Maybe they’re too far away.”

“Or maybe they’re dead.” She said, Jim was taken aback. That had not crossed his mind at all.

“Why would you even say such a thing?” Jim asked with incredulity.

“Coz it’s the only reason I can think of why they would not be answering us.” She sat down. “You said it yourself. The Brannon brothers were in communication with people in New Mexico. How far can a man with at least two kids in tow really travel?” That’s the only thing I can think of. They’re dead. And I don’t even know what to do right now.” She started crying now, and Jim went to comfort her.

“Hey, calm down. Take it easy. Your kids are not dead. If I don’t believe they’re dead, then neither should you.
