Chapter 6

T he guys in the burned-out MRAP called on the radio to say they saw a large truck pulling a trailer coming down the road. Sarge had put two-man teams into the scorched hull on rotating watches of four hours. We hadn’t seen anything more out of the motorcycles, but the old man was very particular when it came to security. Hearing the call on the radio, I hopped on a four-wheeler and headed towards the bunker.

The truck was parked when I got there. Wallner and another Guardsmen were talking to Janet and one of her ranch hands. Getting off the ATV, I offered Janet my hand, which she took with a firm grip. “How are you doing?” I asked.

With a bright smile, she replied, “Great. It’s hotter than hell. But I’m good.”

Sarge pulled up in a Hummer with the three muskie queers. He got out of the truck and walked up with a smile and said, “You must be Janet.”

Holding her hand out, Janet replied, “I am. Good to meet you.”

Sarge took her hand and shook it. “I hear you have a couple beeves for us.”

Janet looked surprised. “Most people don’t know what that word is. I’m impressed.”

“Well, when you been around as long as I have, you pick up on a couple of things.”

Mike came strolling up with a cheesy grin on his face. Looking at Janet, he asked, “Well, to what do you owe the pleasure of meeting me?” He lowered his glasses and made a show of looking her up and down.

Janet laughed. “Nice try, Sport. But high school was a long time ago.”

“Not for you. Couldn’t have been. Last year, tops.” Mike replied with a big smile.

“Teddy!” Sarge barked. “Get his ass out of here. The grownups are talking.”

Ted grabbed Mike by the back of his shirt. “Come on, Mikey. We got shit to do.”

“Alright, I’ll see you later,” Mike replied with a wink.

Janet looked past him to Ted and said, “Thank you.”

Ted shrugged, “No big deal. Every animal needs a handler.” He tugged on Mike’s shirt again and said, “Come on, Milo.”

Janet laughed, and Mike looked over his shoulder, “Who’s Milo?”

“Planet of the Apes, sweetie,” Janet replied.

“What?” Mike asked.

Ted pulled him away, saying, “Come on, let’s get you a banana.”

Mike’s mind switched quickly, “You got a banana?”

“Now that the wildlife is gone,” Sarge said, “let’s get down to business. You got a couple of heifers in there for us?”

Janet folded her arms and replied, “You got some hogs and diesel for me?”

Sarge turned and pointed down the road at the tanker. “There’s the diesel. The hogs are in a pen not far from here.”

She clapped her hands, “Great! Where do you want the beeves?”

Thad rode up on a four-wheeler and Sarge pointed at him, “There’s your man. He’ll lead you to the pasture where you can unload them.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

We rode down the road to the pasture where Thad opened the gate and the truck pulled through. While they were getting the cows unloaded, I took a minute to ride the fence.
