Though he was ordered to stay away, Ethan found himself unable to be elsewhere when the sixty four remaining members of the Church of the Old Testament were escorted out of town by the Cavalry. It was understood this wasn’t the law, or the government attacking religion, but the other way around. Almost everyone in town claimed some denomination of Christianity, yet no one protested the expulsion of the extremist church that had started a riot on Main Street and nearly killed two innocent women and as many lawmen. They were loaded into the back of a number of pickup trucks from the massive lot of abandoned vehicles refugees had dumped in almost every field outside the airport, and driven out of sight down Westbound 44.

“What’s the likelihood they’ll be back?” Mary said mostly to herself, leaning on Ethan’s shoulders from the top of the Ten Million Dollar Bridge to Nowhere (a bridge the town had built with Stimulus money a few years back that literally led to nowhere. It was pretty to look at though.) He could see through the railing on the bridge as the trucks were driven away, a Humvee escorting from the front and rear, that this was a morally absent thing to do. Expelling trouble makers from one group or another was a time honored human tradition, but this time expulsion without anything but a few pistols and hunting rifles was undoubtedly a death sentence.

This is a shit-storm that won’t go away any time soon.” Lee leaned against the railing of the bridge they stood on. “We downloaded and took a look at those pictures you and the pilots took in Hillsboro, Ethan.”

Ethan looked up at Lee, a view he wasn’t used to. “And?”

“I’ve been on the radio with the CO at Labadie, Major Donovan. He says he can’t spare the Marines because they’re dealing with gang threats to the North West. However, he agrees that whoever this is, they’re a real threat.” Kenly’s sausage fingers wrapped white knuckled around the bars of the fence, listening to the stupidity Major Donovan spewed out repeated by Lee. “We’ve been ‘given clearance’ to deal with it.”

“Since when did we start taking orders from Texas? Or asking their permission.” Keith narrowed his eyes. “This is a slippery slope, Lee.”

“Brewer, shut the fuck up.” Kenly adjusted his belt as the convoy disappeared over a hill. “We didn’t ask their permission for shit. I said we are going to take these sadistic fuckers out, and I only asked if they would come along. And last
