The Bonner Incident: Joshua's War Read Online Free PDF

you can to see they are taken care of? Baby, I’m sorry and tell William I thought about it hard but I will not stop because of collateral damage. I knew some of those living nearby and who worked at the lodge but they saw the feds take my boy. My heart hurts for them but my conscience is clear, they can hide behind people, but it won’t matter if they come after you and William.”
    She looked up. “He doesn’t know,” she gasped. “He feels guilty and doesn’t know.”
    “He will find out Sonya,” Gene said reaching over and patting her arm.
    Wiping her eyes, Sonya continued. “I’m moving hard and fast but I found a kid who showed me how to make the phone I bought like the one William gave me. Tell William to turn it on the two times a day we call ‘important’.”
    “Sunrise and sunset,” William said wiping his eyes. “Dad said it’s because a new day has started and a new day is coming.”
    “Your momma told him that,” Sonya said hugging him and William nodded, trying not to cry. With an arm around William, Sonya continued.
    “My love-,” she stopped, reading silently and then started again. “I know Gene, Chris and Ben are living there and they need to stay. I don’t know how Gene got the others to leave but tell him thanks because I’ve been to a few of their houses and they aren’t there. Tell William I want him to send Chris to his Middle Earth. Do not let him send Ben because if he sees a fed, Ben will shoot their ass. Oh and tell Chris, I like his ghillie suit but mine’s better.”
    Ben stomped his foot, “No, I wouldn’t just shoot their ass!”
    “Yes you would,” the others said together, even Ernest.
    “I want Chris to go to Middle Earth in William’s favorite number of days,” Sonya continued and stopped, kissing William’s head. “That would be seven, my baby’s favorite number.”
    Looking back at the note, Sonya read with tears gently running down her cheeks. “Tell Gene, Chris and Ben thank you from me for protecting my family. If others show baby, take Gene’s lead, he will know who to trust. If he approves of them, then they have earned my trust.
    “I’m truly sorry this happened Sonya, and please tell William, if I believed for an instant they would stop if I turned myself in, I would. But I’ve found stuff out that you wouldn’t believe. They want me dead for starters, Buck was right. They have shoot to kill on sight orders.
    “Tell Ben I still love him like a brother, but if he keeps spitting on my walkway, we will have words and tell Gene I’m sorry to see he’s dipping again because of my mess.”
    Gene threw up his hands, “God damn it,” he shouted. “I’m going up in those hills and whoopin’ his ass! He’s acting like this is his fault!”
    Ben stepped around the couch and grabbed Gene’s arm, stopping him from heading for the door. “You know that’s how Joshua is Gene. Now let Sonya finish, because the only way you head up in those hills is with me or stepping over my dead body and you don’t want to do either.”
    When Gene had calmed down, Sonya continued. “I don’t think they will try taking William like that again but I can’t say how, I think they will try the house. Sonya, I’m sorry but I think anywhere you go they will try, at the house you’re on your ground. If they do, notify me with that phone. Ben knows where to take you to hole up and you make sure, Gene listens to him when Ben tells Gene he knows where to go.
    “I want you, William and everyone there to have a backpack ready to go when they come. The way Chris and the two people with him are covering the area behind the house, the feds will never try that way. Oh and make sure, Chris has told Gene about his two friends. I saw Barbara and Sammy and hope they are staying there by now. Let Barbara know in girl talk that Ben is in love with her-,” Sonya stopped, realizing she was reading aloud.
    She looked back at Ben to see his face was as red as his goatee. “Sorry
