said west, it's more
southwest we were thinking. Texas, Mexico, maybe even South
America,” Jeff said.
    Mike nodded.
    “ Bob and his wife Janet, and maybe
a few others, are going to go back to the land. They're looking for
a place. Wilderness, or close to it,” Kate said, “To settle
down.”
    “ We discussed that, but we don't
know just yet,” Jeff said.
    “ It would have my vote,” Sharon
said.
    “ Mine also,” Arlene said. “We've
only been traveling a week, and I'm already sick of it.”
    “ Maybe we're closer to a decision
than I thought we were,” Jeff said sheepishly. “All of you looking
at doing that?” he asked.
    Mike looked at Kate; Kate looked at Patty and
Ronnie and then back to Mike.
    “ It's on the table,” Mike said.
“We talked it over early on, but no one fully decided. Bob and
Janet, they have an idea of rebuilding the Indian Nation. That is a
different thing than deciding to live in the wilderness, I think
they have a specific place picked out, the forever wild area up
around Kentucky, Tennessee. Extends into Alabama. Huge.”
    Jeff nodded. “I think I heard about that
somewhere. Read about it, maybe in school.”
    Mike nodded. “It almost sounds
like anti-technology talk. Maybe no rifles. That's what I got from
what they said early on. But, I think that has changed. I think
they've revised things a little. Anyway, it's there on the table.”
He looked at Kate. “I guess for me personally, and I mean me , nobody else, it
depends on what my woman wants to do. If she wanted to go, I would.
I mean, we're all going to live somewhere. There really aren't any
cities left. If there are, they're unsafe, or worse from what we've
seen,” Mike said.
    Kate smiled at him. “We met some real crazies
back in Watertown,” she said. “This has brought out the worst in
some people.”
    “ I told Mike last night we've had
a rough time ourselves. We've taken to avoiding towns, cities.
Starting something over again in the middle of nowhere don't sound
so bad compared to what we've seen,” he said softly.
    He paused for a moment and a pained look
crossed his face. “The little ones, the older woman... we found
them abandoned on the outskirts of a little city up north a little
further, and the people we're refusing to feed them. Too old... Too
young... Worthless they told them. That shocked me. But she told us
later that they had been toying with the idea of killing them out
right.” Jeff nodded at the face Kate made. “And the women they had
with them they treated like possessions.” He shrugged, “We took
them with us. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't leave
them.”
    “ It was the same back where we
came up. They were about to try to take us,” Patty said. “We
spoiled their plans I think.”
    Jeff nodded. “Maybe I'll talk to Bob and his
woman a little more later on,” he said. “See exactly what they have
in mind.”
    “ I think he'd like the
opportunity, and to be honest, I'd like to hear what he has to say
too, where they've gone with their thinking.”
    “ We've got the little ones.
Traveling isn't exactly the kind of life they need,” Jeff
added.
    “ Well, we've got a ways to go
anyway before we hit southern climates. So we've got to travel
some,” Mike said. “There's time to make our decisions.”
    “ I think most of us want someplace
safe. That's all, just safe,” Kate said.
    “ Safe sounds good,” Arlene agreed.
She squeezed David's hand, and he pulled her closer to
him.
    “ I can get
behind that,” Ronnie said. “I grew up in the city. I thought that
was bad, but what we just went through in Watertown? Those people
were crazy... still are crazy, I guess. It's like the way the city was,
but if you took off all the controls. No cops, nobody to stop you
at all. Makes me wonder what things are going to be like in a few
years. I want Patty and our children to have something safer.
Sometimes I think Bob's idea isn't all that bad,” he paused and
scuffed one booted foot
