Stand-off

Greg knew that he had a situation on his hands. Someone had seen into his home, right through the front window. Veronica had left the curtain open, and though a simple mistake, its repercussions could prove to be deadly. Greg paced around the living room trying to think of a defensive plan. They’d already had one home invasion two months prior, and that was enough. Hunkering down was not without its problems. Once Veronica was up and out of bed, Greg handed her a freshly brewed coffee and explained what had happened.

She looked stricken. “Greg, I'm so sorry that I forgot to close the curtain last night,” she said, putting her face in her hands.

“It's OK, we all make mistakes. Happens to everyone.”

“But you said so yourself, preppers can't make mistakes.”

“That's beside the point. We have to be ready. I've got the trip wire set up outside, and we have to get our arsenal ready.”

“What can I do to help?”

“Just be ready when the time comes.”

“Are you sure about a threat? I mean, you said it was just one guy. Maybe you spooked him, and that's the end of it.”

“We can't take any chances after last time. If he had any good intentions, he wouldn't have run. I can almost guarantee that he'll be back with others.”

Veronica moaned “What do they want with us this time? Why can't they just leave us alone?”

“They want what we have,” he said. “Whatever they can take, just like the others.”

Veronica was inclined to believe him.

Earlier that day, Greg had set his trip wire alarms throughout the front and back yards. Some of the alarms used blank .22 rounds ignited by a cotter pin that set off when the wire is tripped. Mini sentry traps were some of Greg's favorite kinds of alarm, their wires carefully concealed in the few remaining patches of grass in his yard. As he had done before, Greg rigged his remaining flares to the other traps.

The flares were set up against the small trees he had in planted in and around the back and front yard. Once the wire was tripped, the flares would ignite and make him aware of the intruder's location. He was expecting a night attack, if anything.
