After the flames died down, Thunder Cloud gestured toward the government men and asked, "What are we going to do with them, I wonder? We've disarmed them, but they aren't likely to make it all the way to the east on foot without even the means to hunt."

"Who cares?" said Darren, who was Morning Sky's friend and in a pretty savage mood.

"I wouldn't let them go, if I were you," Barry said.

Thunder Cloud raised his eyebrows. "What do you suggest, then?"

"Take them with you, or dispatch a few men to take them to a more secure camp. These men can come in useful as a bargaining chip if you're ever trading captives."

Thunder Cloud considered this. "We have never tried that. I don't know if we have enough food to spare for captives."

"Make them earn their keep, then. Set them to fish or lay traps or do whatever jobs you need."

Ben looked at Barry with distaste. "I know you've never grasped this concept, Bear, but we don't keep slaves or threaten people to work for us."

Barry shrugged. "Suit yourself. If you think men who came here to take your lands, and then tried to kill you, don't deserve to do a little work to pay for their board, that's fine by me. I just said what I think."

"Well, it could be a sensible idea," Thunder Cloud said. "Keep these men safely tied up at the wrists, you hear? But let them eat and drink and don't mistreat them. They are going to stay with us for a while."

"Two things," Barry said.

"What?"

"Have some people spread out and check police stations in abandoned towns. They'll likely find weapons and ammunition and, hopefully, bullet-proof vests that'll save some lives if shooting starts again."

Even Ben had to admit that was a good idea. "What's the other?"

"Get the word out for someone who might be able to start making counterfeit IDs."
