un-trustworthy people in the service right now.”
    “What do you know that you shouldn’t know?” asked Frank.
    “We know that you know who the leaders of the attack on the Utah RV Park were…and we know that you have the expertise to locate and target them. The Islamist leader would be a big catch. The militia guy is even more valuable, though. He’s the brains of the southwest operation.”
    Jerry just smiled. Frank looked at him and smirked.
    “This is the only other thing I’ll say on the matter,” the Lieutenant said. “Go get those bastards.”
    “I’m starting to like this guy, Frank,” Jerry said.
    The Lieutenant and the Sergeant looked at each other and smiled.
    “Let’s go get those radios, and then we’ll get out of your hair,” the Lieutenant said, “and thanks for the coffee. That was a treat. They have pretty lousy stuff at the base.”
    The men got up and walked out the door and over to the Humvee. They pulled a box out of the back. The Lieutenant pulled one of the radios out.
    “Either of you know how to use these?” he asked.
    “Yeah, I do,” Jerry said. “I haven’t been out of the service for that long, and we were using the same kind back then. I can train some more of our folks.”
    “Good, then we’ll be on our way, gentlemen. Good bye and good luck.”
    “Same to you guys,” Frank said, “and thanks.”
    The men all shook hands, and then the two officers got into their vehicle and drove off.
    Frank looked at Jerry.
    “Well, that’s a relief.”
    “You buying it?” Jerry asked.
    “Yes, I think I am,” Frank said. “Can they use these radios against us?”
    “Not unless they put something into them that shouldn’t be there,” Jerry said. “I’ve repaired these many a time. I’ll check all of them.”
    “Good,” Frank said. “I’ll call Charlie and let him know they can get back to body disposal.”
    Just as they were turning to leave, Gabe’s Suburban drove up to the gate and tooted its horn. Frank opened the gate for them, and they drove in and parked by Gabe’s residence. Gabe and Mary got out and walked over. Both of them had worried looks on their faces.
    “What’s with the Humvee?” Gabe asked.
    “Friendly this time,” Frank said. “We’ll fill you in later, but we probably should finish up with the bodies first.”
    “I figured you’d be about done by now,” Gabe said.
    “We would have been, but we had all of our snipers watching things while the army was here,” Jerry said.
    “How’s the patient?” Frank asked.
    “The surgeon at the hospital seems to think he can save the eye, thank God,” Mary said. “That’s actually a pretty nice facility, but they’re short on doctors. I might be going there to help out after we get settled.”
    “Let’s go out to the meadow and get the hole dug,” Gabe said. The three men walked out in that direction.
    “I’d better go stash these radios,” Jerry said. “I’ll put them in my rig and then join you guys.”
    “Maybe you should tear into them now and make sure there’s no bugs,” Frank said. “You’re more valuable doing that than joining in the grave digging detail.”
    “Sure, I could do that,” he said. “I’ll see you guys in a while. It won’t take long.”
    “Good,” Frank said. He pulled out his cellphone and called Jane.
    “Hi, honey,” Jane said when she answered.
    “Hi, sweetie. All clear. You can go back to the clubhouse if you want to.”
    “I take it these folks seemed like good guys?”
    “Yes, they’re good guys. I’ll fill you in later. Got some grave digging to get out of the way before it gets too late.”
    “Alright, I’ll meet you in the clubhouse. Love you.”
    “Love you too, sweetie.” Frank put the phone back in his pocket.
    “Wish I had a woman,” Gabe said. “Mine passed a few years ago.”
    “Well, there’s always Rosie. She’s looking for somebody all the time.” Frank laughed.
    “Have you seen the way Jeb and her look at each
