Cameron

Cameron wasn’t much bigger than Whitehorse, but it had multiple roads leading to and from it. The main road to Binghamton and farther locations west ended at Cameron. The road to Jefferson City was a well-taken-care-of track to the north. The town had a few buildings of the ancients remaining, but most of the houses and businesses were newer and of quality construction.

There wasn’t a forest nearby, so they stopped well south of town.

“You are too far away, if you stay here,” Braden told them. “I’d rather shock the residents of Cameron than risk getting cut off. I think we need to stay together. This could be a big fight. Sure, we have better weapons, but we can’t kill them wholesale. I don’t want to kill any of them, but as Patrice so wisely reminded us, we only need to pull the weeds. Let’s find the weeds.

Once he realized that had he asked, they would have all agreed to join him, he’d come to grips with the situation. He was rash, but for the right reasons. If he ever wavered from that path, she’d know. They’d all know and would set him straight.

He didn’t return until nightfall, but when he did, he pulled Micah close for a long and warm hug. He asked the others to come in so he could talk to them about what their entrance to the town would look like and where they should make their stand. He started drawing in the dirt. Even though most of the companions could never make heads or tails from his maps, it helped him better articulate the plan. There was the Town Square and the Market Square, buildings and roads…
