Dave and Julie Kantor were returning to the cabin from dropping the kids off at the neighbors and going hiking. The kids were going into town with the Martins who would bring them back home later that evening. They were discussing how the kids were finally getting used to living in the woods after being born and raised in Los Angeles for so long. Dave had been with the FBI as a forensic accountant working on major crime. Julie had worked at a local doctor’s office and both had burned out by all the crime and violence in LA. Then after the incident, they just could not live in LA anymore. The perps got off without as much as a slap on the wrist after committing one of the most heinous crimes in local history.
“You know we have not been alone for a long time, looks like we can run around naked and have a ball until about dark,” Dave said with a big smirk.
Julie answered with, “I’ll bet I can get my clothes off faster than you can buddy!”
Dave was looking forward to a few hours alone with his wife because the kids had been a pain in the ass since the move. Julie had been smothering the kids since the move from LA. Besides school, this was the first time since the move that they were away from their parents.
As they cleared the last turn and saw the cabin, Dave slammed the brakes on then backed up out of sight of the cabin. He said, “Julie, grab your shotgun and get into the woods with me.”
Dave had seen several armed strangers come out of their cabin. Dave jacked a round in the chamber of his KEL-TEC KSG Shotgun and followed Julie into the woods.

Julie’s Mossberg 500 was loaded with No. 4 buckshot that was just as deadly, but had a wider pattern that made it hard to miss your target. They had practiced many times for this, were excited and scared shitless to be executing what they had done so many times in the past. Dave wondered if Julie held him responsible for not being prepared four years ago when they lost so much.
They watched from the woods as these strangers were trying to get the truck started.
Dave laughed and said to Julie, “I’ll bet they never find the hidden anti-theft switch,” he chuckled to himself. “They all have their hands, so they did not find our armory,” he added.
The strangers were eating, but weren’t carrying any electronics or jewelry. This was odd, but perhaps the robbers had already loaded up the good stuff before they got there. One guy appeared to be in charge of the group and he was rushing the others to little avail. Dave whispered to Julie that
