Sunday morning, Danny awoke and folded up the sleeper sofa in Parnell’s living room, just as he had done the day before. Myrtle made breakfast for everyone once again. Danny joined Parnell and Myrtle at the table for coffee while they waited for Gwen, who was running behind.

She soon made her way to breakfast, Parnell blessed the food, and they began eating. Everything was delicious, but a cloud of anxiety replaced the aura of hope, which had been above the table on the prior morning.

Danny broke the silence by stating what he assumed everyone at the table was thinking. “Victory seemed so certain yesterday.”

Myrtle looked at Parnell. “You don’t think they’ll approve your plan?”

“I don’t know sweetheart. It’s hard to say. The mayor is behind us, but under the emergency charter, he serves as the executive branch. Councilman Arkwright was a vocal supporter during the town hall. Small, Brown, and Green are dead set against it. The other council members and commissioners were very silent last night.”

After breakfast, Danny and Gwen accompanied Parnell and his wife to the Baptist church where they attended. The preacher gave a message about the military campaigns of Joshua and related it to the responsibility of Concord to take the Promised Land. Danny hoped all the preachers in Concord were delivering similar messages, but he knew it was highly unlikely. Danny recalled the words of Pastor Earl back in Savannah. He had explained that it was the mass apostasy in the pulpits of America which was primarily responsible for the judgment upon the nation in the form of an EMP.

Danny figured that Parnell had searched far and wide to find such a preacher and that his willingness to speak in such a manner was the reason the sheriff attended this particular church.

As they exited the church, Danny spotted two young ladies waving at him. “Taylor and Willow.” He waved back.

“They’re so cute! They really belong here, Danny.” Gwen waved at the girls as the two young women made their way across the pews to where Danny and Gwen stood.

Taylor wore a bright yellow sundress and white sandals. “Danny, Gwen, it’s so good to see you both.”

“You both look beautiful!” Danny smiled. “Have you decided what you’re going to do?”

Taylor looked at Willow. “We’re going to stay in Concord. But, we really appreciate your offer. And there’s nothing we could ever do to repay you for getting us out of there and saving our lives.”

“We’re so glad we could help.” Gwen hugged both of them. “And, for what it’s worth, you made the right choice. I’m considering staying here myself.”

“Hey, now! Alisa will kill me if I don’t bring you back.” Danny chided Gwen playfully. “You girls take care. I’m so glad you have a nice place to live with good people.”

They said their goodbyes and parted ways.
