thing?”
    “Of course,” Frank said. “Whenever you’re ready.”
    “Thanks very much,” Major Hobbs said.
    “Any idea when we’re leaving yet?” asked Jerry.
    “Yes, tomorrow morning,” General Walker said. “We’ll be bringing a Chinook chopper in to pick you guys up and take you to our base. You all ought to be able to get quite a bit of stuff into that – several boxes at least. Then we’ll send you off in a C-17 for the rest of the trip.”
    “Still going to Oklahoma City?” Jerry asked.
    “Yes, that’s still the plan. You’ll be taken to a base there. We’re trying to get all of the Motorhomes there before you arrive, but if that doesn’t happen, you can hang out there in the barracks for a few days.”
    “One other thing, General,” Frank said. “All of us had toad vehicles. Are we going to get an allowance for those? And for the Tow Bar setup?”
    “Yes,” Major Hobbs said. “I already mentioned that to the General.”
    “Excellent,” Frank said. “Thanks so much.”
    “Don’t mention it,” General Walker said. “You folks are doing us a big favor.”
    “Did you ever find out about the rest of the group?” Jerry asked.
    “Not yet,” General Walker said. “I think that’s going to be moot anyway, though. We‘ve already chatted with all of them. None of them really want to go. They’re hoping that they can just ride things out here.”
    “Interesting,” Frank said. “I can’t say I’m all that surprised, though. It’s nice here.”
    “What time do you want to hold the training session?” Jerry asked.
    “How about right after lunch time?” Major Hobbs asked.
    “Perfect,” Frank said. “We’ll be in the shed at 1:00.”
    “Sounds great,” Major Hobbs said.
    Frank and Jerry left, and walked back to their rigs, Frank carrying the laptop.
    “Why didn’t they let us know they were talking to the others?” Jerry asked.
    “Good question,” Frank said. “See you at 1:00.” Frank opened the door of the coach and stepped in.
    “How did it go?” Jane asked. Frank updated her and, before she asked, confirmed they’d be getting an allowance for a toad.
    It looks like we’re leaving in the morning. They are sending a Chinook over for us. He told us we can take quite a bit of stuff. They’ll transfer us into a C-17 after we get to base.”
    “Good,” Jane said. Her phone rang. She looked at it, and got a puzzled look on her face. “I don’t recognize this number.”
    “Answer it,” Frank said. She did.
    “Hello?” Jane said.
    “Mom?”
    “Robbie, I’m glad you called.”

    “I’m going to put you on speaker, ” Jane said.
    “Alright, Mom. I can only stay on for a minute.”
    Jane looked at her phone, and pushed a button on the screen. She put it down on the counter in front of her.
    “Can you still hear me?” Jane asked.
    “Yeah, mom.”
    “Good. Your father is right here too.”
    “Hi, Robbie,” Frank said. “Where are you?”
    “I’m on a pay phone in a hotel lobby. It’s really hard to find these things now.”
    “What did you want to tell us?” Frank asked.
    “The state government’s been corrupted. They’re doing bad things in California. Don’t come back here.”
    “What are they doing?” Jane asked, fear starting to take hold of her.
    “They’re tightening their grip on everything. You know about what they are doing with cars, right? Mileage restrictions, GPS Locators. That was the first thing that made me nervous.”
    “Yes, we’ve been hearing a little bit about that. What else?”
    “People who’ve been protesting about anything the state government wants to do have been disappearing. The state police have been confiscating weapons at the drop of a hat. In some areas, they’ve actually been looking up gun registration info and collecting guns for no reason at all.”
    “Is the U.S. Army involved with this?” asked Frank.
    “No, and that’s the strange thing, dad. It only appears to
