By mid March the hardy Emma could sit on the beach for hours at a time and swim until she was too tired to swim any more.Then what she had once dreade... and now longed for happened. A helicopter was on its way. But Emma wasn't afraid. She had the pistol and was ready for the Professor and his goons this time!She couldn't believe it when the helicopter took off an hour later and flew back the way it had just come. What were they playing at? Obviously they had left some people behind and would be. Seeing her smile droop as Nancy headed directly towards the back door, I mumbled, “fuck it,” and instead of following my wife, I sat myself down at the table.“This looks great!” I enthused, pretending to be excited to sit down for a hearty breakfast.Nancy paused at the door and reminded me, “You’d better get moving baby or you’ll be late. See ya Danni, love you babe,” she said over her shoulder as she disappeared, not even waiting for a response.When she was sure Nancy was gone and hadn’t. He came to see her while I was at work. They fucked in our house and in our bed I am sure.My wife ended up pregnant and went into a state of depression that I could not fix. Did he dump her or did she dump him? I don't think I want to know! She did not want the baby because she was not sure if I was the father or it it was him. The little girl was born and and twenty eight years later she still is the most beautiful girl in the world to me.As for my wife, well, she never said she was sorry. All. I explained that any man, woman, or older child was welcome to join the band of defenders. I told them that the shotguns were easy to use, but were not toys, because they would kill friends if they were used carelessly. I asked all that wanted to volunteer to join me in 30 minutes under a large tree where we would have shade and could be comfortable. I pointed to the tree I had in mind. This brought a gasp from the multitude, so I asked Onlat what was the problem?This tree was sacred, and used.
