one of your friends. You’re next!”
    Everybody cracked up. The camera cycled to the next bank of cameras, and then was back to the front set. The deer bolted, startled by something.
    “Whoa, something spooked them,” Jerry said.
    Frank suddenly felt nervous, and looked over at his Winchester, leaning against the back wall.
    “What’s that?” Gabe asked.
    There were several dark shapes in the camera, growing larger, breaking twigs. A larger shadow followed.

Chapter 03 – Simon and Peabody
    “Are those what I think they are?” Jane asked, looking at the screen.
    “Yeah, those are grizzly cubs,” Gabe said “and here comes mama. We’d better get out there and scare them away from that moat!”
    Jeb was out the door first, running towards the moat with his rifle.
    “Don’t shoot them, Jeb!” Gabe yelled, running after him.
    “I won’t,” he replied. “I’m just going to fire a shot into the air to scare them away.”
    Frank and Jane ran out with Jerry and Jasmine.
    Charlie and the Sheriff followed. Dobie ran out after them. The crack of the shot rang out, and the cubs ran to their mother. She took off with them across the road and into the brush beyond.
    “This is a problem,” Jeb said, as he walked over to the group.
    “I should have thought about it,” Gabe said. “I don’t want to kill no grizzly cubs…or mom either, for that matter.”
    “Can they get into the park any other way?” Jerry asked.
    “Not anymore,” Gabe said. “At least not easily. I blocked up the creek with that razor wire.”
    “We need to do something,” Jeb said. “I’m not against hunting bears, but I don’t want to have them falling down onto those spikes.”
    “We’re going to the electronics store tomorrow, right?” Jerry asked.
    “Yeah, if nothing crazy happens,” Gabe said.
    “Think loud sound will keep them away?”
    “Maybe,” Gabe replied. “Why?”
    “We could pick up an electronic eye system there, and rig it to some loudspeakers. They break the beam, and it goes off.”
    “Actually, that would be a good idea for other intruders as well,” the Sheriff said.
    “Wait a minute, guys,” Dobie said. “You’re forgetting about my dogs. They’ll bark if anything or anyone approaches the borders of the park. They sound vicious enough…I think that would probably scare the bears away.”
    “What if the dogs fall into the moat?” Jane asked.
    “They won’t,” Dobie said. “I’ll train them what the boundaries are. Works for electrified fences. It’ll work here too.”
    “Those cubs were cute,” Jasmine said.
    “Yeah, well don’t try to get a selfie,” Jerry said, laughing. “More than one Darwin Award has been handed out for that one.”
    The group laughed, and started to walk back towards the clubhouse, except for Jeb, who stood his ground, looking out into the inky blackness beyond the moat, rifle in his hand. Frank noticed and walked back over to him.
    “Still see something?” he asked.
    “No, just thinking,” Jeb said.
    “About what?”
    “The enemy knows where we are. You know that, right?”
    “I suspect that’s true, yes,” Frank said.
    “You think the others know?”
    “Most do, but everybody’s avoiding the issue.”
    “You heard what Dobie was saying about the cretins using I-70 as a conduit to the east?”
    “Yeah, I heard him, Jeb.”
    “Sooner or later they’re going to send a good sized force over here. If they’ve got mortars or worse, we’ll take a pretty bad beating, and we can’t escape out the back here.”
    “Yeah, Jeb, that thought’s crossed my mind. This could be a very tidy little death trap.”
    “Why do you want to stay here?”
    “I want to have a crack at figuring out those chips,” Frank said.
    “What do you think that’s going to buy us?”
    “Precise location of the enemy,” Frank said. “Including the leadership, because we should be able to tell who’s who from the label data.”
    “We going to go take the leaders out when
