Erika Moore, the Savior of the Refugees, wakes collared and caged inside TJ Swenson’s isolated compound. Cold showers, silk dresses, and whispered threats can’t hide the bruises… or the unbreakable fire that still burns inside her.

I remember a time before the Great quake. I found the love of my life and I married her. But that wasn't the greatest day of my life. The greatest day was when I found her three months after the Great quake. I thought we could take our family and live quietly in the woods. But we couldn't stand by and watch people become refugees, and refugees become slaves chosen by the resistance. My wife became the lone survivor, the savior of the refugees. I stand by her side, fighting for all. Of God's people. This is life on the changing Earth. That shower felt amazing. We spent far too long on the road, all thanks to this pain in the ass. Girly, it's hard to sleep standing up, isn't it. When I talk to you, you will respond, piss off the savior of the refugees. You look just like every other refugee I've had hanging on my wall. How's that chain around your neck? Feeling getting heavy? Yet? It's fine? Is it you want us to deal in? TJ. No, I've got my eyes on my prize. Look how she squirms under my gaze. Why don't you give her a break? I thought you learned how to treat these traders. Look what happened to Surgery. I know what she did, but she hasn't slept in. Days, and that means you won't have the energy to pull any tricks at the Supreme Generals. There's a reason to the rhyme. Bishop. Let the man do his job and kill me a winning hand. Yes, sir. Genie, it's about damn time. Sorry, sir, the transport was late and I had to wait for my dress. Delores, my sweet, come with me. You remember Erica Moore, don't you. I know you two know each other, so you can cut the bullshit right now, Dolores, take off your clothes. Bishop TJ. Come here and undo Erica's chains. Go ahead and try one of your tricks, Erica, Sheila would love to come out and play. Don't take the chain off her, Nick. We have to keep this dog on a leash. Now take your clothes off. What do it? Oh my goodness, she chose. To receive each one of those bruises. You better behave yourself. We can't go see the Supreme Jenner with you stinking up the place. If you try any of your tricks, I'll take you to him. Dress like you are right now? Do you understand? Yes, I'll be back, Carl, Dolorous, go in the room. Move that fine ass. Tell me what I want to hear, by sweet Dolores. TJ. I promise you I will never run. From you ever. See how easy that is? Girly? What don't you ever ever run for me? Not one step? You freaking. Tell me? No? One day the Supreme General will tire of you than your. Mind you satisfied, sir, don't. I'm sorry, t J. You know I didn't mean anything by it, said. Like a change. I'm bottom my ful god emotion, no thinker, you are my everything. Open your eyes taking a break from reality. This is your reality. You stay here with me, girl, I should, Dolores get on with it. Come on, Erica, go on, get in. It's okay. H m hm hmm. Not too fast, it'll make you sick. Where did they get you? And he killed Vince? They killed wi Oor family. No I could have done it. I heard you killed Gerber in search. Thank you. They raped Alexus to death and passed me around from months to bet. I couldn't till t J. What's taking so long? Nothing? TJ. She's almost done, She's done. Here's your telle. Drop it. Let her get it. Huh. Oh feels good, doesn't it? It's fine. Tell me what I want to hear and I'll take it off. Tell me I never will. Dlores get the dress? Yes, TJ. Well, don't just stand there, go get it. Oh shit? Do you like Sheila's artwork? Some of my finest work right here? That woman was fun to break, but not as much as you're going to be. Such a pretty girl, he'll tire of you and then your mind. Here address, TJ. Put it on. She has that chain on. Everyone will know she's a prisoner and not here on her own free will. You're right, my sweet Dolores, and I have just the solution. Get the collar out of the drawer and turn it all the way up. Is that what you wanted? Let's try this a dog collar similar. See how those prongs stabs into the swelling around your neck. This collar packs a little more punched than that dog collar. Sergey would have loved to see you in it. That cute? How much lip can you give me? Now? Getter dressed? I said, Put the dress on her. Now put on makeup to cover those bruises. Much better. The people will never know what a disobedient bits you really are. Let's go, Dolores stay here? Not that? What about the thin How are you going to control her? The Supreme General will be pleased. Go back to the chains, I. Las. I'm telling you you've got the wrong guy. That's what you keep saying. I'm a handler. You saw the card? Yeah yeah, keep talking. Kid, We're the guy you brought me in with. That's no longer your concern. Just shut up and eat your dinner. There's a time to live fast and have a time to live slow. Things put people out there, but none that I know, And I can be kind of mongst the sinnacena cruxma, So does cold mines apply? And I'm a fish on a hook. Come on, good, you're letting me out, don't you wish? They're sitting in the chair? Oh okay, hey, what the hell? Good afternoon? Hello? I yes, what is your name? I already told the other guard all of this. Tell me again, just in case you're offully young to have a handler's license. The official who issued it said I was one of the youngest. Is that a fact, yes, ma'am. Where was the issuing office? It was in Amarillo. You were with a companion. What is his name? His name is Jonathan Johnson. And he's not a handler. No, he's a refugee that decided to tang along and help me bring in bigger loads. That's an interesting story, mister case. It's the truth. The past was issued in Vernon. Well, I your friend claims that he is the handler and you are the refugee. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He always says he should be the handler. I already know the truth. You are Dexter Moore, and there's someone very interested in purchasing you, purchasing me. Where's Jonathan. You're gonna have much bigger things to worry about very soon. Come back, not Dexter. You've got the wrong kid. You're scowling, jeer. We are almost to Texas. How long do you think their suv lasted in the ash? We had the new air systems too, but the ASH took them all down. They couldn't have made it far. I still can't believe you left the merchs to come with us, but I'm sure thankful you did. Erica's worth it. She gave all for us. It's the least I can do. It's going to be a rough trip for Daniel in Vets. They're your family. We'll find a way to get her back. I bet they crossed the Okolalla by now. From the northern crossing. It's only a couple of miles into federal territory. Just what we need. Rain like things couldn't get any dreary. Isn't that the truth? Come here, Daniel, It's gonna be okay, buddy. We're gonna get her back. Vince, We're gonna get her back. How's your head in chess Field? All right? You took two bullets at point blank range. No one is all right after that. I am. I live together, die together. We've got to get there before she dies trying to escape. She watched me take two bullets. She may hurt herself. Yes, she's a fighter. She's not going down without a fight. She's not going down at all. We're going to find her. What was the plate number, ben Colorado? Plate number? Golf Keilo Tango six eight zero? Is that it? It is? I need to use the restroom. You guys, tell me what you find. I need to go to ground, me too. Boys to the left of girls. To the right we stopped. My back. Teeth are flowning. That's the leg. Oh you know, Along Carr does great things. Wear a bullet wound. Let's see what we got. Careful an elevance. The doors are wide open. You never know, Nickelton Bennett. Clear it, yes, sir, Yes, sir, it's clear. She's bleeding. Look at that. It almost looks like a tea. Oh my god, cold. I'm sorry, it's just strange. It's kind of a circular blob on that seat. The bloodstain has a definite tea pattern, maybe means something, and it's definitely not a bullet wound. It came from her. Bag, otherwise it wouldn't have made such a perfect pattern. There's nothing here. Whoever was in it stripped it clean. I'm going back to check the Vince, let him go. Come on, how's the truck doing, guys? Huh? Hurrying like a kitten to ring time with the roads. But the filters are running topnof without the dost in the air. Come on, Vince, you'all I can find anything in this rain. She would have left us something, some kind of a sign if she was conscious. I know I've been looking to good news. Is they had to go on foot. That gives us the advantage. Then let us get back on the road. No so for the little sweet oh wish out of the trigger. Show me in the film, Show me down, Show me down. Hi, this is Sarah F.

Missavior of the Refugees? I killed him. Her life should be mine to take. She is the Supreme General's bounty, not mine. I want to hear her scream. I told you how to make sure she comes back here, but she has to go to the Supreme General first. She killed my brother. She's all ready for the Supreme General. Not now, Yuri here, push the button. She's not screaming. It's not turned up here. It's all the way up. That's Erica Morpho. Yeah, well, I'm going to kill her. No one is doing anything of the sort. She's going to the Supreme General. Now get the hell out of air. She killed surgery, DJ Surgery. No one goes near her. Here you go, Bishop. If she moves, you zepp her. That guy can be a real dick, Commander. Watch your mouth. He may be a dick, but he's my friend, and he knows how to get a job done. Bars on his windows. That he is the only way out. Muscle Well, won't kill you, won't make me strong enough. You've got him handled. He'll get his show eventually. Won't eat Girly, don't touch me. I can do anything I want you, Girly, because you're mine. He always tires of his women. Always get that through your head. It's time to change. In the foremost we need to go. When a funnies, I wasn't believe that. Wait for the moment. Just wait for your moment. There's always a moment. Just wait for your moment. TJ in a suit you think it's amusing, wants to know what I think is funny. Listen to me, Girly. You're going to play nice today. Do exactly like I tell you to. One step out of line or any bullshit like you pulled on the ferry and it's over. Urie and I will take turns making you wish you were dead. You make your choice, but don't see I didn't warn you if you make the wrong one. I hate this tight collar. How's your neck felling, Erica. Let's go boys, Bishop un Chanter. Put the sip ties on her. I've seen you. I don't know what you need. Clear zip ties. Put them on her legs, under her dress, and on her wrists. No one will ever see them. As far as the crowd knows, we're welcoming their savior. Erica Moore to. The city perfect. I knew you could do it. This will make our careers. It was only a matter of time. Carl. Let's head to the transport. Follow the commander, Girly, or I'll press the button. There's a world of norse. It's just right thinking and a little honeybee. And they don't know what they're missing. I don't need a gift, no money on labor. What if we just say you owe me a favor. You guys want to eat some chow? Sure, Hey, Vince, looks like the rana stuffed and. The ash did not get as thick down here. Oh, how are you doing today? Fellas? Just fine yourselves? Can we help you? We're always happy to lend a hand, isn't that right here? Oh? Yeah, and you're always eager to us sis, right, Graham, Yes, sir, that's right. Good. Well, you know we were just checking to see if you were low on any supplies. No, we're all set here. We need perimeter guards. Now, I'll take first watch. Now I'm with you. There's a nice pit here. I'll be cleaning out. Grandma. Do you have any of those fresh beans left? One more meals worth? And they're getting wilted. We might as well eat them up. You guys want them cooked with the wild onions or fresh on the meat. Let's just throw it all in a stew so we don't have to stop again. Later, pouring all survivals. Sue kept us fed in Montana. Can't beat stars rabbit stew, the passes. Out gas masks first Erica. They probably made it across the Ogolaala by now, don't you think? Probably? But they had long walk. Their vehicle broke down right before the Texas border. What if they got to ride The. Ash took out most of the vehicles That one was even specially engineered to function during the eruption. This far south, I'm not sure the ash would have that much effect. My mom can walk really far. He's not wrong. Mom carried dad across most of Montana. How do you think that blood got on the seat? Bennett? Dad? Where are you going? I gotta go dig a trench. Let him go, Daniel, he's certain stuff out, Danny. Is he going to be okay? Look, I've known your dad for a long time. He's a strong man, but he loves your mother deeply too. We all do, Daniel. Everything is going to work out. You guys are. All so strong. You'll find her and bring her home. I just know it. That's right. And your mom is so strong she may find us long before that. How you holding up, Cole? I'm good. We've all lost people who are very special to us. It's okay to talk about it will. When I'm ready. Right now, I'd just like to get one of those special people back. I hear that. Hopefully we can get in Tell in Dallas. Look it's a message from Erica. What is it? She was wearing a shirt made of this material when she was taken, and look here. Her initials are they written in blood? They are? But I found a piece of glass with blood on it in a window. Maybe she used it, so she had the blood write with at least something. Smart lady leaving us a trail of bread crumbs. Speaking of. Is ready. I've been running down the empty streets, bubfolded thumb misbelieves. I've been back to where we mad all the moments and wins. I've been searching empty El's called your name in prams.

It's not like him to arrive late. Amanda Gray, TJ. Great job, min. I knew I could Conani to get the job done. Thank you, Supreme General, sir, Thank you, Supreme General. Sir. Hello Erica, how nice to see you again. I'm sorry for the loss of your family. I hope the journey here wasn't too arduous. Last time we met, you weren't so quiet. Please stand up. I'll get her up, sir. TJ. Back off. I want to talk with her Erica House. The trip fine, TJ. Fine. Supreme General, Sir. The trip was fine, Supreme General, Sir. And how has. Your let's say, little resistance effort been holding up? TJ. Good? Supreme General, Sir. Didn't you just lose a lot of forces in Denver? And I believe the refugee supply line. In the west has cut as well. There's no need to lie to me, Erica. It's been difficult, Supreme General, Sir. Good. That's better, wasn't it. I was hoping we might learn to get along. TJ. That's a okay. I understand you might be a little. Confused right now, Erica. Would you'd like to have dinner with me? Yees? Supreme General Sir. I'd like that very much. And I would like that very much, Supreme General, Sir, with all due respect, Sir, I wouldn't trust this woman with you for a moment. Your mansion is not set up to hold her. Commander Gray, is this true? It's true, Supreme General Sir. She's been a constant struggle, and she killed two of Swinson's finest bounty hunters, Anthony Gerber and Serge Papalov. She was about two seconds from throwing a knife into my skull before Swinston stopped her. He's been the only one that can keep control of this bitch. His tactics might be unorthodox, but it kept me alive and brought her to you, Supreme General, Sir. I want her to hear TJ talk with my gods and have rooms prepared to house her. Yes, Supreme General, Sir. H well, show me what you brought me fishing, show them what we bought. I'll cover you. Look at that fine body. You are a warrior, Anji. What did they do to you? No wonder you wanted to kill them? Be a poor thing? Turn around. She does have a spirit, doesn't she? TJ? Damn it? What did I say? A man pure and unbroken, Supreme General, Sir? And what the hell is this? She wasn't rape and no bones are broken, Supreme General, Sir. TJ. She earned every mark, Supreme General, Sir. One when she killed Gerber and one when she killed Merkley and surgery. She killed Marcus's kid too. Yes, Supreme General Sir, she did. I trust my men more than I trust repige scum. Make the arrangements though, I want her here with. May, Yes, Supreme General, Sir, Commander. Gray, you can resume your responsibilities with the secret Police. TJ. Can your men handle her until she can be moved here? Yes, Supreme General, Sir, take her. Out like she's one of your whoas TJ. Speaking of ur, he's. Bringing in two fresh girls for you now, Supreme General, Sir, good. Just down the ground. I like looking at that ass. Anyway, just in time because you all bick and the girls are delivered. Have fun with that nice traveling with you, Carl Bishop, you're a good man. Hold her up, Urie weak pleasure. You don't ever run for me? Say it, say, CJ. I will never run from you. No, get on your knees, Gerty, bring me that. Shame, yes, sir, No, TJ. Don't. He's your next sor. Uri. Let her go, Eric. Erica, look at. You. Want to earn your right not to wear the chain, say TJ. I will never run from you. One more chance. Yuri, not so tight, Yuri, just tight enough that she can't get her head out of it. I want her to feel the way, not to carry it this way. Bob's more and does more damage. Stand up. Put on the pants, now, put on the shirt. Forget it she wears a hood anyway, I can admire my work all the way home. Anything you want, d G, put. Your hands behind your back. You already put on the hood. Go ahead and tighten that one down. Come on, time to go. This used to be all under the land. They used to sink huge pipes into the ground to pump the water up to the land. All the quakes caused the dirt on top to fall to the bottom. You remember when all those people showed up. At the camp, right, yeah? I remember? Well, there you go. It's all contaminated though, Danny, So don't go drink. Him from him makes sense? Starts fighting these days. She's lost a lot, Danny. Now mom's gone too. What are you two guys talking about over here? Why don't you go sit with grandma? Daniel? Okay? Dad? How you hold? He looks so much like his mother? Is Nancy? Okay? Was staying at the barmingtown. She has an ex boyfriend there. They were together for a long time. She doesn't want to go fight. Is Erica her only child? No, she has a son, but he's in Canada and we haven't heard from hen since the quake. She loves her grandkids. Should we be leaving Daniel with her. He's young, Vince, he's old. Enough and experienced. He doesn't like to separate. Four days. What that's crazy. We could drive around faster, but. We need fuel to do that exactly. It doesn't look like we're going to find anything around here. Okay, what are we going to do? What's going on here? Burgess? The gangs took over law enforce and when we moved north with most of our arsenal, there's stuffing we could do for this many people. The FEDS have been buying up refugees because they only have access to one camp within their border. But Sabrina said they weren't wet and refugees in the North. They're not going into the central region, and the North is trying to maintain as much firm land as possible. Well, I am real pleased about this evolutionary too, but I love to have a. Drink right now. If you are not shoving off anytime soon. I'm with you. Now's not the time to be drinking. We have to come up with a plan. That sounds like the plan is to wait for four days. I think we should be strategizing rather than drinking. I don't see that we have much else to do right now. Come on, Bennett, we've had some long days. If we have to wait, why not do it with a beer in our hands. Sorry, Patrick, I'm heading for a beer too. Come with us and relax. Come on, Vince, let's have a drink. Take a loan. I can't wait anyhow. All right, there's a future. What a pray? We can make it? So let me? Are you all together? Yes, ma'am. You guys can take the table in the corner. Thank you, ma'am. What do you have to drink? We'll take a couple of picture spear. Coming right up. Here, you go, Thank you, ma'am. It's a welcome relief man. You can't beat a cold drink. Hey, Bennett, what gear? What is sticky and brown? I don't know what a stick gear? What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? I do not know what sick? What do you call a fake noodle? An imposta gear? What's the downside of being a redneck kid? At Christmas? You just have one set of grandparents to get presents from? Bennett? What is the difference between a joke and three dicks? What your mother really can't take a joke, Vince vince, or. Know the housecar thing? You shouldn't sit here contly not just. Can stop thinking about. A wonderful guessing I think drunken knights Sunday mornings. How you smile at me? We should say. Said this so. Human trafficking is not fiction. It's a reality in every country. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children explains that every thirty seconds, a child is trafficked in the United States. If you see something, say something, dial eight eight eight three seven three seven eight eight eight or visit Human Traffickinghotline dot org for more contact information. You may be helping to save a life. Honey, we're home. You got it all figured out, don't you You think if you stay close to me the chain will pull a neck? God back off to a woman, ruscial man got a dude. I told you you'd learn. Get on your knees, stay. There, m a cot and a toilet. He didn't even take this freaking. Jane off. No window, Come on, Jane doesn't reach the cot. I just want to lay it down. Fucking t j. Maybe I can pull the cot closer, of. Course, not. She you're bears on the table. And dinner's almost ready. Good. Here's your dinner, spaghetti and meatballs, just like Teresa used to make. Good job, Jeannie, Thank you teacher. Did you already eat? Yes? Were you a good girl while I was gone? Yes? Do you have any leftovers in the fridge? Yes? TJ. Put them into a blender and pour it in a bowl. The girl in the back will need to eat soon. It's been days and we burned a lot of calories. Yes, Chip, I get it. Good evening, Misterlie. TJ my son best hunter of the world ever known. Welcome home. You're out late, mister Lee. You drink, sir. You are a fast learner, Darling. I guess, sir. I'm a businesses building. Because your success. TJ. Lauder got five new contracts for girls today. The hunters will be busy, definitely. Did you bring her home like you told Yuri you. Were going to. Yes, mister Lee, of course. You are tired. TJ. I beat, mister Lee. This girl is a handful. Well where is she have? Look, she's in the cell. She don't look like much. You last your change, so she couldn't use the bed I did. She got on him, but she can't be that comfortable. That change is stretched out tight and she's sleeping on the bar. Good. I hope she's in pain the whole time? What happened down there ToJ That woman is a mess. Nothing she didn't learn. She's constantly calculating ways to be a pain in my ass. I had to remover of decision making privileges. She's incapable of choosing the correct option. Mister Lee, I might even consider using the drugs on this one. Really, you know, I wouldn't want to, But damn. Now at you're home, I bet she'll beginning to see everything differently. Maybe I'm off to bed. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night, mister Lee. Genie, did you get the bowl of food ready? Yes? You? Jack? Shout time? Come here? I can't reach it. Ask for it a hook, kick, cute trick? Give me that bowl? Huh? This is the thanks I get for bringing you food? Jeer, didn't you want to eat it? Only good girlies get rewards. Put it on the counter. She can eat it tomorrow. What are your best? Speak? Tell me? Baby? What man? Oh? What's the man? Yeah? Wants some man I got. To do. To get over? How the hell are you? My friend? I've been better. Where's the missus? The Fed's took her? Why didn't a runner come down to let command? No Cassidy was killed, Melvin. Militia command is scrambling right now, and the Merchs aren't even raising a finger. We're the first ones headed south. Who are you here with? You know? Star? And this is my son Daniel, my best friend and his wife, Greg and Penny then at Nikelton, Hall and Vergess all joined us. And these three men are fighters from the Denver area, Graham Year and net everyone. This is Melvin. He helped us to get to Texas when we left in Minnesota. What are you doing out here? I'm operating a ferry. It's a great place to get info. Plus, Governor Dixon wanted me to id the leaders of the gangs in town so when we're done fighting the Feds, we can restore order. You're running a ferry? Yeah? Can you give us a ride? Sure? You got a vehicle? Yeah? Bid it? Yes, sir, I'm impressed you and your merk friends. Can you're a man of your word. Erica showed me how important family is, and the Moors are my family. I'd never let them down. I'd like to shake your hands, sir, nice to officially meet you. Likewise, I'm headed out to get the boat. Ready. Now go get your vehicle and head that direction. Give them this. That's all it takes. He swamsbe to my reader. Footsteps lead everywhere I go. I never was a weeper, and I'm still holding on. We know I could have done it bad, all the little things that we wanted to know it was a good game. This is sick, it really is. There's more people than food. The central reading feeds the massis in exchange for slaves. We don't have the manpower to stop it down. Here right now now, then Erica would have come this way within the last few days. Staff Sergeant Merkley, a lieutenant general son would have been with her. I don't know the lieutenant generals, but yesterday something strange did happen. A few guys were transporting this girl through here. I'm gonna be honest here, Vince. The only reason I cooked noticed is because the girl's handlers had a burr lap sack over her head. She didn't have a shirt on either. I made the guy put a jacket on her. I couldn't help but watch them get off the boat. Save prayer for the girl. That asshole had her on a leash a metal chain around her neck. Anyway, this girl was standing by her says to her handler that the woman in the hood said she was Erica Moore. She laughed with her handler over the idea. I didn't believe that it could be true either. If Erica didn't have a shirt on, you would have seen her scars. Did she have scarskin? She sure did. I noticed them when I brought the jacket. She also had a fresh wound. It looked like a tea whipped into her, and since her handler carried a whip, I figured it was his doing.
