2nd Earth 2: Emplacement Read Online Free

roommate very soon.
    Doc McEvoys group takes one of the groups and Barbs group takes the rest. Her group is the smallest and can really use the few men that came back with us. All the people that came back with us are amazed at the way we live. That’s not too surprising because we are sometimes amazed at how lucky and blessed we have been. We explained to them before we even came back what will be expected of them if they are going to live with our groups. It’s not much really, all we expect is that everyone does their share of the work. We also realize that the people we find have never lived like we do, so it will take them time to learn the different chores we all do. Heck I’m still learning some of the chores that I don’t do often or have never done before.
    We hold a family council to determine what we should do about the men from the south. Everyone agrees that we should at least try to find them, and free anybody that is being held against their will. We also agree that we should begin cleaning up another farm that is a mile from Barbs family. It is a nice place with four or five houses and some sturdy looking barns. The new people are excited to get started helping with the cleaning and rebuilding. We also decide that we need fighting men along on the next trip we take looking for the others. We also know we can’t leave the group without protection while we are gone as well. The gentleman who was with the last group we found in the city volunteers to come along. Oh yes, his name is Ray and although he hasn’t had a lot of experience, he is more than willing, so we will use him. Sara and Gary both want to go again. Robin decides to stay home because she missed the children too badly. Ray’s wife Carol says she will go because she knows at least some of those who have been taken, and with her along they may not be so frightened of us. Dan, who is Don’s brother, decides to come along because Don says he has to make sure Olivia learns her chores properly.
    We have an excellent meal and play some music for our new friends. Only a few of them even remember electric lights and eating fresh meat and bread. Tonight for the first time some of them will sleep in a warm bed in a heated home. When they are about to leave to go to their respective homes, Marla, the mother of the children that Robin and I saw first, tells us all how thankful she is that we have brought them here to live. She says that she learned to pray when she was a little girl and she has been praying with all her might for the past few weeks because she was out of options that were under her control. She also asks us if we all lived like they did, how did we ever know to come here, and how have we accomplished so much? We smile and tell her we will explain all that later. Now let’s get a good night’s rest so we can go after their family and friends tomorrow.
    When they leave and we get ready for bed, I get to play with the children for a while, which me and they missed very much. Teddy says he thinks he should be able to go with us because he is almost a man. At twelve he is doing very well with his fighting lessons and can shoot quite well also. I tell him I could really use him on this trip, but I have a dilemma, if both of the men in the family leave, who will take care of the women and children? He thinks for a minute and tells me he will stay home, but those girls better start listening when he tells them something. His sisters Kathy and Karen stick their tongues out at him. Tina and Tammy who are stepsisters tell him that they will do what he says, if mommy says they should. I tell him that if the girls are doing something they shouldn’t, or that is dangerous, to tell the moms and they will make sure they don’t do it again.
    Teddy says he can do that, but he thinks the girls should listen to him the way they do me. Robin and Dayna who are sitting on either side of me whisper, “Since when,” so that only I can hear them. Melissa,
