Revenge in the Homeland Read Online Free Page A

glad they are taking an interest in the people and not a bunch of thugs like the DHS. Has any DHS been snooping around lately?”
    “No, the only visitors are the ISA folks. I should have mentioned that we are having a bumper crop of vegetables and fruit. We’d like to do some trading with you for some sheep and hogs.”
    “I’m sure that we can make that happen. Let me know how this bunch from the ISA treats y’all. We don’t have any in our area and some of our people are afraid of them.”
    “We will keep you informed of anything serious. I’ll call you same time next week.”
    “Talk with you then.”
     
    Bo gathered his senior officers and had an emergency meeting. He was very upset because he had hoped that his hidden compounds would remain undetected from outsiders until the day the Chosen People rose up and took back the USA.
    “Jeb, I thought that you promised me that no one would find the compound in lower Alabama.”
    “Sorry Bo, but what I said was that we would hide it as best we could and with all of the chaos, no one would be looking for it in those dense woods. We have killed a couple of hunters who stumbled on the compound, but we moved the bodies and staged their deaths to look like accidents. The formation of the ISA changes everything. They have a military that is trying to consolidate their resources and are actively looking for threats. We can only hide in plain view around them as we always have. I’d recommend that we start our new compounds underground. Perhaps salt mines and large caverns would work very well when we can find them.”
    “Sorry, you are right. I want you to form a team to develop the best method to expand our operation without interference from any outsiders.”
    “I will make that my highest priority.”

    John, Gus, George, Scott and Bob listened to the taped call from the newly found settlement to an outside person called Bo. It sounded very calm and not threatening. One would almost sympathize with the people on the call. They had real concerns about the ISA and how it would affect their lives.
    “That sounded like a crock of shit. It sounded like a script for a cheap Bollywood movie. The guy here said they we are snooping around and he is looking for instructions on how to deal with us. These guys are not amateurs, but they aren’t DHS or military. My guess is that they are one of those paramilitary survivor groups left over from the last century,” said Gus.
    Bob agreed and added, “It could be a religious cult, a skinhead group or just a bunch of well-meaning preppers who were ready when TSHTF. We need to find out if they are friend or foe and handle them accordingly.”
    They watched an hour of highlights from the surveillance tapes and met again afterwards.
    Scott was eager to share his opinion, “Everything we just saw could have been filmed at our Bunker. People going about their daily lives, but are on guard against threats and enemies. Most of the discussions are no different than what our people discuss. Kids are playing and women are complaining about their men. With that said, I still think these people are up to something. The settlement reminds me of a bunch of programmed clones performing a script.”
    Gus jumped in, “George, something just hit me between the eyes. It’s not what we see and hear. It’s what we don’t see!”
    “Gus, what the fuck are you trying to get across to us? I don’t see….. Damn. There are no Black, Mexicans or any minorities.”
    “Damn, it’s about time. I know we should all be colorblind, but when there isn’t any color it gets spooky.”
    George said, “I should have been the first to see this. Alabama still has a significant Black population and there is none of us in any of these surveillance clips. We got a bunch of damned racists here, that’s what we have on our hands.”
    “George, don’t jump to conclusions. Until you joined us, we only had Steve in our group. We give them the benefit
