Chapter 22

Brian and Beast checked up and down the road as far as they could see. Not seeing anything, they headed back up to the house.

“Who was that?” Sean asked, looking down the driveway’

“We have a lot to talk about,” Brian said. “It seems we have some allies in all this. How’s your mom doing?”

“Not too good,” Sean replied sadly. “She wanted to stay up at the campsite alone for a while to collect her thoughts. We didn’t think she should be alone, so Christina stayed up there will her.”

Evelyn and Avery came around the corner of the shop and rushed to Brian, embracing him like they thought they had lost him for good. He picked them up and hugged as if he hadn’t seen them in a year, assuring them he was fine.

Evelyn glanced at the house. “Brian Alexander Stewart! What the hell did you do to my house?”

Brian grimaced. Oh shit, here it comes…

Sean cocked his head to the side. “Your middle name is not Alexander.”

Brian sighed. “No, but when she is super pissed my middle name is whatever she wants it to be.”

Sean laughed. Brian was glad to hear his friend laugh. Today was a bad day for their whole family. He looked over at Evelyn standing in front of the house with her hands on her hips. He hadn’t paid attention to the house since the battle began. It shocked even him. Everything under the porch and up along the sides of the awning was black from the gas burning. All the windows on the second floor were blown out, and the frames around them were riddled with bullet holes. Most of the downstairs windows had bullet holes in them, but the security film had kept them intact. All the siding was shredded, and most of the upstairs siding was hanging at an angle ready to fall off.

“Hey, you’ve been asking me to remodel and paint,” Brian said. “I just started with the demolition part early.”

Evelyn didn’t laugh or smile. “Uh huh.”

“We’ve got a lot of clean up to do, Sean,” Brian said. “We need to go through all these weapons and gear to see what’s serviceable and what we have.”

“Yeah, Brenda found some of their radios. She’s in listening to the HAMs and monitoring their communications.”

“Everyone, let’s get this place in order,” Brian said. “We have a lot of clean up in the house, broken glass from the windows, and whatever else was broken inside. The gear and weapons out here need to be separated into piles so Sean and I can go through them.”

Everyone got to work. Craig and David returned shortly from the body dump. They had a similar reunion that the Stewarts had. Craig’s next course of business was to inspect his truck for any new issues since the deputies took it. The prisoner was still unconscious. The group wanted to interrogate him, but they were not going to go out of their way to save him.

Since Doc wasn’t squeamish around blood, he was cleaning out the two Hummers.
