Somebody had scored a county map within an hour of us asking around, and I spent that time with the girls marking out the locations that the man Iâd spine shot had put in his journal. There was more than Iâd realized, as Iâd only skimmed the material before giving it to Linda. We were going to keep this one close to the vest, real close.
âWho do we take?â Jessica asked me.
âIf Sheriff Jackson doesnât have any objections, I think it should be you, me, your mom and the IED guy, Paulson. Keep things small. Weâll have to have trucks with us, radios. We hit one location, check it for traps, steal the food, set traps of our own, and go onto the next location.â
âFour doesnât sound like a lot though,â Jessica said softly.
âYou donât want me to go?â Emily asked.
âIâd rather⦠What Iâm saying isââ
âYouâre needed here,â Grandma cut in. âYour Mary is a sweet one, but she needs you. She worries, you know? Besides, weâre talking about grabbing food, not setting the bigger trap yet.â
âShe does? But Iâm fine, Iâve always been ok going with you guys before,â she finished, a look of confusion on her face.
âPoor girl has been clinging to me or Wes every time youâre not around. Neither of us mind, but sheâs been having nightmares lately,â Grandma told her.
âI didnât realizeâ¦â Emily started, letting her words trail off.
âJust this one trip. Thereâs going to be lots of opportunities to get the bad guys,â I told her, grinning.
âYouâre right,â Emily said. âI just⦠When I go with you guys, I feel like I can contribute, instead of being a drag on everyone.â
âYouâre not a drag on us,â Linda told her. âYouâve proven time and time again that we can rely on and trust you. It was you more than anyone else who got Wes back on his feet when we thought we were going to lose him.â
âJessica did a lot of that,â Emily shot back, but she wasnât snarking, more like stating fact.
âI did,â Jessica said, âbut look at it like this: Wes can move silently through the woods and is almost as good or equal shot to my mom. I was military, Mom was ⦠well, we donât talk about that, but my Mom has got a certain skill set.â
Linda looked uncomfortable about that, and a lot of people had been wondering exactly what her experience was. It was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, to borrow a phrase.
âAnd we could use the IED guy, Jay Paulson, to disarm any bombs we find or set our own.â
âDo we still have those triggers grandpa made?â I asked Linda.
âWeâve got a few left, plus a dozen or so that I had some of our more bored men in the barn make,â Lindaâs eyes twinkled at that. âThe question is, can you make more of that generic Tannerite?â
âYeah, but weâll need something for shrapnel if we really want it to be nasty.â
âI got that covered too,â Linda said, grinning.
