Ben,” she smiled.
    “It’s not like everyone didn’t know it,” he mumbled and Barbara kissed his cheek.
    “We just wanted you to admit it,” Gene chuckled as Sonya continued.
    “-big time and I can say for the first time, Ben chose a good one. I had to shoot one of the mules because it broke a leg and I had to make changes but other than that, I’m doing alright. Don’t worry about me. Keep your mind there on staying safe. I will keep them entertained and focused on me. I’m trying to come up with a plan for us to disappear but baby, if you read what they know about us, you would understand like I do now, we can’t run away.
    “Middle Earth will relay some more, but tell Chris to be careful going there and don’t go near any open ground. They only have one functional drone and it’s staying near the house.”
    “How in the hell does he know that?” Ernest gasped.
    Sonya shrugged. “If he knew what we found out, he would shit his pants and faint.” Ernest looked at her then Gene.
    “I will fill you in on that later,” Gene said as Sonya finished reading.
    “Tell everyone I send my love and I miss you and William dearly. Take care of our boy and I hope to see you both up close one day and hug you tight. Your loving husband, Joshua.”
    William looked up, wiping his face with his arm. “Dad’s seen us, I mean he’s been close enough to watch us,” he smiled with a splotchy face.
    “Of course he has,” Ben chuckled. “You think he’s not going to check up and make sure Gene’s not screwing something up?”
    “Just when I had hope for the boy,” Gene mumbled.
    Sonya folded the note and looked at Ernest, “I’m not burning this,” she said with tense voice.
    “Sonya, if you tried, I would wrestle that belt away from Gene,” Ernest smiled. “Is it dated? No. Even if they found it, they couldn’t prove when you got it. The envelope is a different story.”
    “Ernest, Gene, William and I want to go to town with Ben and them. Do you think that would be okay?” Sonya asked and William jerked upright.
    “Sonya, let me tell you something about the Minutemen. We believe the government has no right to limit the movements of people. Can we keep you safe? As safe as we can here. If you want to go to town, then to town we go,” he said turning to Gene.
    “Hell yeah, we can go to town,” Gene snapped. “I need Copenhagen anyway. I have two leeches that take all mine.”
    “Sonya, hold on a second,” Ernest said walking over looking at William. “William, can you make more of those?” he asked pointing at the laser disrupter.
    Shrugging, “Yeah, but I used all my old laptops and everything here. I don’t even have the suction cups for the one I’m showing Sammy how to make,” William said.
    “No, if I buy the stuff, could you make more?” Ernest asked. “I have people who can make them and have but they are busy right now, and there are other people in the area that need one.”
    “Sure, it takes about an hour and a half to make one, so if you can wait that long after you get the stuff, I’m okay with it.”
    Ernest grinned, shaking his head looking at Sonya. “You should know making that is a federal crime and I would like to ask if William can make them in the shop so the feds can only blame us, with your permission, of course.”
    “If William wants to, he can. If the feds want to talk to him about it, I’m sending them to Nana,” she grinned.
    Clapping her hands, Nana busted out cackling. “Where’s my purse, baby? You tell Nanna what you need and let them G-men come here and taste my double barrel.”
    “Man, she’s feisty,” Barbara whispered.
    “I guarantee you, she grew into that because she wasn’t like that when we grew up,” Ben said.
    “Sonya, can I borrow some of Joshua’s clothes so I can buy the stuff that William needs? I don’t want the feds to know it’s me, at least, not yet,” Ernest said.
    “Ernest, keep your Rambo on, I’ll buy it,” Gene said
