5-3 Temporary Lodging

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. Everything appears to be in order. You're eat. I want you to keep the defenses on double ship until she leaves. I already planned only DJ. Let's go see her kid. Whatever you want, DJ, What. The hell is your problem? What are you going to do with the kid? Mmm? Maybe we could kill him like a toller I did. Let me beat him within an inch of his life, and then we can sell him to the nuclear facility in Illinois. He will still make good money. You're not wrong. Eric is not going anywhere. You already told her he was dead. I feel better with him here for now. I can always use him as a pawn. If I had to, you can break her without him, Give her more DEAs without food and water, and she'll be at your back in the coal. I can't right now. She's going to the Supreme General. The boy is too much of a risk. That woman is crazy. She might find a viagero escape if she knew he was alive. Yuri, it's not your call. Do you think the Supreme General's plan is going to work. I'm not here for political games, but it controls the masses. They're already convinced. She's been cooped up with him for days, negotiating a peace treaty. That was fun last night, all f on aside. Today she goes to the Supreme General. I want this place on high alert. Don't screw this up. How are we doing? Fine? Sir? You've been well trained, eager to apply with your commander. Yes, sir, I learned to follow orders a long time ago. If you want to earn your right to be out of those chains, son very much, sir. I think it could be paid for in four strikes. Well, do you want to earn it or not? Yes, sir, I do, smart boy, if you. Or anyone else's son. I might take you into my. Crew and I would be honored, Sir. Don't overdo it. Turn around and I'll extract your payment. There you go. You've earned the right to be off your chains for the day you. Said I would earn the right to be out of the chains. You are out of the chains, and you never asked for how long. Don't press it, boy, or I'll revoke that right. Smart boy, Thank you, sir. Mhm, she's over there. There must be some way out of here. Shut his window down, Dammy, he knows his mother's over there, Yurie. Tell your man to guard him close until we get her moved. Speaking shoogs, you hid bick. Lord. Girl was keeping ready to rule. It's kidding to be about that time. What are you doing? Expect to see Susan. We're moving Erica to the Supreme General's mansion today. I want her sell clean. As soon as she's gone, I'm going to house some girls for Loubner. I need a woman on call after this bull crap. With this girly yes, do you want before? No, I'm getting Erica. Now. Just make sure that sells clean. And nobody can hear you go? Are you happy, goodbye, star Bye Grandma. I'm gonna miss you guys so much. You listen to your father, Daniel. Hi, will I love your grandma? Bring her back? Since I'm gonna ma'am, you stay safe, you too, watch out for them, I always do. You. Okay? Then, yeah, don't get me wrong, But I'm kind of black. Grandma is gone. Why would you say that? She just reminds me so much of Mom? But she's not. I know what you mean, buddy. It's so dark out there. It didn't used to be like that, Danny. When Dad was young, there were lights everywhere. All the houses had them, and there were street lights. And now everything is dark and dangerous. That's why we helped build the walls in Vegas. MOhm was always giving them. How oh, I'm sure she still is? You are The laughter. Killed me? That member the flicker. Faded away. The sum How was that same old shit in me? We are almost to Dallas. It wasn't a very welcoming place last time I was there. Yeah, you had to crawl through the tunnel behind trucker stinking mut But. Man, I would have crawled ten miles behind that dog just to ensure my freedom. Humbles can it take that minute? Yeah, you wouldn't have lasted two seconds in that tunnel. It wasn't built for giants. I know I would have count me out. No thanks, This body was not built for tiny tunnels, and. You think mine was. At least you sweat a lot. It's like suck sline so you can slip along better. That's disgusting. Mowing, he's all I'm allowed. I'm wowing. Oh all this cold is not helping? Oh my head? Oh no, so hungry? All that way said food? No? No, how are we feeling? Not talking this morning? I gotta say you put on one hell of a show for the boys last night. Here, turn your ass around before you put it on, and stop looking at me like that. You want to test me, girly, how many more do you think. You could take? That's a good girl. That looks painful. I guess you shouldn't have tried to run yesterday. What put on that shirt? Give me your hands, give them to me. Come on, Nope, Today you go to your new home. You all set tj let's load her up. Good riddance. She'll be back before you know it.

Chop the fight repellers came in, came in Eric Kim, but lived out in a structure. But in comparison, y'all know, y'all couldn't replicate it. Came chilling in the desert. I'm good on the pressures. They go loud over the down look good, Well, we found this a marathon, not a spread. That's going on money. You got her, no idea? Come on, Gurley, I feel like I live in a damn tom tat time because this is good and only getting better. Listen to me, girly, I'm going to be leaving you here for a while.

You come with me, right, They go around with own, Well, be. Down there we go. Welcome to your new home. I'll be back for you. All work, no pleasure. No, I ain't henna make friends Big Steppa. Good evening, sir. Why are you wearing a sidearms protocol? Sir? What's your name? Soldier Sergeant Jefferson? Who briefed you? Staff Sergeant Lawrence? Give me your side arm? Her guards are not to carry weapons if she gets loose. You're the one that will end up injured, not her. Yes, sir, we. All said almost. Which one of you is? Staff Sergeant Lawrence? I am sir here. Give this back to Jefferson when he's off shift. Yes, sir. None of her personal guards or to carry any weapons. Are we clear? Yes, sir, all Worth, no pleasures. Does Stalworth have the girls moved? He's done. We were just waiting on you. You've been spending a lot of time with that girl. Oh no, don't even think about taking my girl for the night. Kelly is going to be preoccupied. That's right, Kelly. She's going to run. Kelly, no jack ass, Erica. I just need to be there when she does. There's no doubt that is one badass check in this place. She'll be gone like the wi She's going to be mine. Just you wait and see. I just need to give her enough rope to hang herself. She'll run and I'll be there. To catch her. Then she's mine. You'll never catch her. That girl knows how to run. Really, I'll bet you two nights with Kelly that I'll catch her going after my check. She's hocked and I've been all cooped up with miss pain in my ass. Fine, DJ, I'll take that bet. She's gotta run from you and she'll be gone into the rust. I've got her. There's no way I'm going to let her go. I was never coming down the crown on me. Where I'm crowd. They was talking about.

Hey everyone, this is Dave Jones, the NBC Guy, and I prepared a special class. Contact me at nbcguy dot com to learn more, or send me an email an NBC guy at ProtonMail dot com. What's your business? Guys? Added to see mister Dixon, Melvin should have told you Vince Moore was coming. Where is it He's in the back? How you doing today, good sir, Great to see you again. Take care of sir, you too, to go. The militia base is. On your right. You can't miss it. You mean the murk base right. Colonel Stone was killed in the fighting of North Dallas, but Santa General Merkley pulled the truth back to the west after that. The militia's been doing our best to hold the line since. General Merkley never told me that, I mean neither. He always talked about the pieces being in place and how strong our forces were on all fronts. And he made himself a general. He said it was a unanimous vote. Either way. You'll find mister Dixon there. There's a lot more people here. Last time I was here, all these outer homes were him. What's your fistess? Here? Major Urchus? How are you guys? Been better? Heading in to see the governor. He's been expecting you, guys, nice place. Did you hear the joke about the roof? No, I haven't heard that one yet. Uh, never mind, it's over your head. Oh that's a good one, Vince. Oh my god, it's so good to see you all in one piece. Hey, Jane, it's good to see you again too. How's Badger. He's doing well. He loves to cook and spends most of his time hold up in the kitchen. Now, mister Dixon is already waiting for you and Major Vergis. You guys can wait here. We'll get you a place to sleep after the meeting. Thank you, ma'am, I'm coming. You are more than welcome to Patrick Bennett thought maybe that's how you'd feel anyway, Thank you. I was so saddened to hear about Erica. None of us are thrilled. I'm sorry, Major Vergis, I heard about Cassidy as well. Will be deeply missed. She will be, and you can call me Cole. I left my rank behind. Really well, I'm sure Governor Dixon can find a spot for you. Oh, I'm sure, Vince. I wish we weren't meeting under these circumstances, but I'm glad to see you safe. Any word regarding her location yet not from our end we're going after, but I gotta tell you resources are low. Thank you. I have to ask you, though, are you sure she was captured? Why would you ask that? I have a man on the inside. I don't know if you remember you mer from the meeting. I think so. Yamir reported that the FEDS conducted a celebration parade to welcome Erica back into the city. She came in like a returning hero, and she was taken to a meeting with the Supreme General Nicholas Henderson. The guy has gone off his rocker, Vince. I don't know how they pulled that off. The guys that took her transported her in the Central Region disguise as a slave. We got an ID number off of one of them as well. You must be Patrick Bennett. Thanks for your assistance. Cole Cassidy. She she'll be missed so much. The Western forces will be in shambles. Eli's trying his best to keep it together. He's a fine fighter, but Cassidy was a born leader. We have a guy who can decipher that code from the tattoo. Harold, Yeah, how did you know? Ah, he's an old friend. I think he already went home for the night. Here's his address if you want to swing by in the meantime, I'll have Janelle set your crew up with. Some sleeping quarters. Thank you again. Don't thank me too much. I may be asking you and your fighters for help in the future. We'll be happy to pitch in where we're needed as soon as we have Rika back. Thank you, good to go, Yes, we're in business. Come on, guys, I'll show you to the guest home. I don't mind the way. Bringing up. We can read the PA when they live with the pain. No, I don't mind the way. That's the way it goes. That will jit you. Somethn't so bad. And my neck chain moves around easily. A bed, a shower, and clothes. Yes, hello, my. Name is Sergeant Jefferson, and I'm in charge of your care. Hello, Sergeant Jefferson. Are the first clothes to you? Like I guess? So why don't you take a moment to fresh enough? The Supreme General will be joining you for your lunch. Oh okay, I know we fuckingtleana blo. O o, oh my god, okay, okay, that's better. That's okay. Oh, shampoo and conditioner. I'm shade, butter soap fa god us namath. I'm standing here and win the final. God No, Louise mysil and I wanna know, Yeah, I wanna know. I do love you. The fight. I could can't go to night if I can. Make it, if I try to drather red lights. I could just say the same. I'll be winning the game. I'll be sending high and I'll win the fight. Let's try to show. Okay, all right, that's nice, solky. If you're ready, the Supreme General will see you. Now, I'm ready. Please come with me here. Let me get that for your neck looks bruising. Now, thanks, sit here. Your hands will get changed here. It's for the Supreme General's protection. Okay, enjoy your dinner. Yeah, thank you. How nice it is to have you here? Is the room acceptable? Be honest, Nah, it would be a lot more comfortable without this chain around my next. Supreme General, Sir, you'll have plenty of opportunity to gain my trust and we can talk. About it then. Thank you. Supreme General Sir. I see TJ has been teaching you some manners. He told me you attempted to escape again and he was forced to punish you for it. Not a smart move. All actions have consequences, I understand, sir. Let's just make sure that doesn't happen here. Yes, Supreme General Sir, I think I'm gonna like you, I hope so, Supreme General. Sir, I thought maybe you could use some protein. How about a steak with the salad and baked potato. Thank you, Supreme General, Sir, sob for. The lacky utensils. But it's the trust issue. Again, that is okay, Supreme General Sir. Still hungry? Thank you, Supreme General Sir. Good, Yes, Sir, I brought something to show you. My scouts brought back until I thought you would be interested in. Show her the pictures. Dedital Oh my god, Texter. Star and you saw Vince fall. What do you want from me, sir? Your family is gone. Your husband is gone. Looks like you're available. For marriage too. Supreme General Sir, why to me what? Don't be so surprised. We have an opportunity here to unite the whole country back under one rule, my rule, that we can focus on expansion with you and Enamory and the masses immediately and the child, we would be unstoppable. Sounds like a fine opportunity, Supreme General Sir. Great, Then it's settled. In two months time, we shall be married. Poor us a. Glass of champagne. Jefferson, the engagement is official. I'm sorry to have to run out on you, honey, but that's the life of the leader of the country. I'll see you again for dinner. My beautiful family live together, die together. I'll find a way to join you. Vince, would you like another? Keep them coming? Oh baby, look at me to Swane time. Tell me that you don't we Gray. Ready? Thought we love. Then you shout me down? Hi teacher, where are you going? Well? I haven't been to been able to go to the market and we needn't. Nate bring you what you need? A mission? Did you clean the cell? Does Star Wars bring a woman over? Yes? I only be gone for an hour or so. Are you making some food before you go? Do it? Mm? Hmm? Oh? I love you. So, Jeannie, get the door. Are you ready to go? Hold on, I'm finishing over the T shirt? Margaret? Come in here, Hi, DJ, sit down? Yes, TJ? How Susan she's fine? Is she still spending time with mister Lee? Yes? TJ. How are your supplies looking fine? TJ? Here you you do a sandwich? I'm sorry we were getting rid of go wait outside. I mean, I'm sure she can make you something else. We don't have to go now. This isn't about her. Your father is dead. What I sent him to the bad lands? He survived, he became a handler. Of course he did that pig. Two boys that were helping him with this Hall killed him. I lost my parents a long time ago. So did I. I thought you would want to know. At least I won't ever have to run into him again. Where are Rick, James and Wayne? Those boys are lacking some serious discipline, TJ. You know I could take care. Of myself take care of my genie while. You're at it. I will, TJ. Thank you for what everything. Get the hell out of here, yes, TJ. Hi, This is Sarah F. Papway, the creator of the Changing Earth series and the voice of Eric Moore.

That's www Dot Changing Earth series dot com. This is the place, yep, this is the boy. Well don't you stand there? Guys? Come on, hold on second, knock knock, Henny, Oh my god, is that you Tata? And who do you have with you, great Henny Fince, where's Erica? Fat Tucker? You already knew, didn't you? What have you heard? We were heartbroken to hear the news, but we also heard you were dead and here you are, so you never can't tell. Let's talk about Erica in a minute. It's going to be a long conversation. How's Jen, Jen, Crystal and Mitchell are fine. A little shook up after the bombing, but all together they're headed north? What are they doing heading north? Why didn't they come south? The Fens are coming for the south first, Northern North Dakota is the new stronghold. We have to make a move to freaking in the north. It's the better land for me to survival. It's changes keep happening to the planet. Maybe you should think about coming north with us once we have Erica back. Harold, what do you know about Erica? We're all family here with no secrets. I've been keeping a feed from the federal networks. Yesterday they marched Erica into the Capitol like she was a returning hero. Yeah, Dixon told me that too. Tonight I interrupted a secret message about the Supreme General's wedding. To who to Erica. What you can't do that. She's still my wife. That's not legal. Neither is slavery. But you see what's happening out there. Plus they think you're dead. What if she thinks we're all dead? And I have more bad news for you. What they captured Dexter and Johnny in Chattanooga, Oklahoma? Oh crap? Where are they? Radio silence on their location? But I've been skanning constantly. Something's bound to show up. I'll go back and keep listening. You want to comestar? Sure? What about the men that took her? I don't know who brought Erica, but dex was captured by a city gate guard. I found a number on one of the men that came back to get Erica. You saw him. Erica killed him and I found him, so, yeah, I saw him. Then she got that piece of paper I gave you. Dad, Dad, Dad? Yeah, Daniel, what's the number Benny gave you. Erica? Here, Vince, I just need some air. I'll be back. He just needs a break. Here's the number, Harold. It's gonna be okay. Danny. Your dead is strong. We'll find a way to get her back, and I'll do everything I can to make it happen. Okay, I know we'll figure it out. We always do. I found the number on a tattoo with a bar hood. It's their new tracking system. The barcode facilitates easy chance answer. An auctoriary clamp ensures that you can't remove it. We've seen them. Why are they buying people? They need the labor. They're busy rebuilding after the nuclear accident in Illinois. Will they care refugees diet radiation poisoning, cleaning it up? They need the land that's sick. It's a regular utopia built on slave labor. Now they're destroying the food supplies in the West and the South. With no food, the people keep selling each other to the Central region so they can feed their families. People still love Erica. They believe she stands as a symbol of freedom. The Supreme General is going to take her as his wife to unite the entire country again. What will they do if they find out e Vince is alive? Probably kill him. I'm sorry, Danny, That's what I would do if I was a soldier in that position. Unfortunately, it's probably the truth. They have a secret police unit led by Commander Gray that seeks out dissension within the walls and then employs bounty hunters that capture traders outside the walls. They probably send an assassin. I haven't heard any chatter about that, though. I think no news is good news in this case. Let's check out this number, Danny. We'll find a way. The other fan's gonna be a better Sunday. Man. I've been on this planet fifty two years. That one definitely makes the top ten on my badass list. But Chuck DJ be coming obsessive with her. He's been after that woman for years. Think of all the men he's lost trying to get her. You're preaching to the choir de comrade. On top of that, any other bounty he would have been able to break straight away. His hands have been tied with her and it's pissing him off. He already took a ration of shit over her coming in with more whit mars. But absolutely worthy, my friend. I don't disagree. The kids in here, the Guba just in the sale. This kid, the one that looks like he's all sick as hell, burning up with fever. What oh crap, Jeremy, Yes, sir, get the lords. Over here, Are you sure that's okay? Boy? You don't answer your his business? Yes, sir, Sorry, sir. I'll go get it. Hey man, I got a run. I'm taking some girls uptown for the night. Good luck with the kid. Good evening, Uri, you called for me. There's a kid seeking here. You know who these kid is, but you will never say anything to anyone about who he is. Do you understand? Okay Uri, dexture. What you're doing here? No talking, just use yourself, treat the fever and go. It only burns for a minute. Then I don't numb the pain and an infection your mouth, stick out your tongue. Let me look in your ears? Is my mom here? Nothing here? He has an infection. I'll come back and check it tomorrow. Have Jeremy given willow Bartie? She is weak? What is TJ going to do with him? What do you who? He's a hard worker and a good fighter, but he can't be trusted. What choicefully have once she puts a tracker in him? Good point. Jerry over here. DJ has been too busy with his new plate toy to keep you in line. I'll have to start picking up the slack. What who does this bother? Your boy. No, sir, Come on, woman, this is Murphys, This is. HI. This is Jane Austen, otherwise known as Survivor Jane and the Boy, said Dolores Chapman, I'd like to invite you to my website, survivor Jane dot com, where I write in a conversation there's no tone on topics of how better to prepare yourself and family. You can also find links to my books What Could Possibly Go Wrong, Emergency Survival Hygiene, and my game book Puzzling Over Preparedness. You could also find information on Prepper Camp, the largest three day preparedness event in the country every fall, hosted by myself and my husband Rick Austin. Mister Lee, are you here the heck? Does it look like? Of course I'm here. It's about time you came by. What are you working on, sir? What do you care what I'm working on? What are you working on? Dixon? Is? It's about time you change focus? What are you talking about? Sir? This woman and her kid who don't give me that you know exactly who the Supreme General wanted to meet a houser jury wanted to watch her scream. You told me to bring her home for him. What was I supposed to do? Did she? What did she? You should have seen it, mister Lee. I unleash hell itself on that woman, and she took every bit of it. I've never seen anything like it, sir. Answer my question, TJ. She didn't scream at all, mister Lee. If only she was my bounty and not his, She's my greatest challenge yet. Will you take a minute and listen to yourself? What you asked me a question? I answered, what do you want from me? I want you to focus on the next objective and leave her in the past. She's no longer your responsibility. She belongs to the Supreme General. I know that, sir, do you yes, sir? Did you put your initials honor? Of course? I did the T for Gerber and the J for Sergey. Then you're expecting to own her one day? That's up to the Supreme General, Sir, with respect, I think you're off base. There's plenty of horrors that wear my initials. She's no different. Keep that straight in your hand. What's your plan for her? Son? She's a wild card I want to keep just in case I need him. He's not an on her guest. Putting to work. If you can feed him, I will, sir. And when are you going for Dixon? In a few days? We need more intel and I want to relax. My sweet to las and a bottle of whiskey. She's been helping Lauder with the women. Yes, sir, he seems to be happy about it. And she can make that healing save mister Lee. It works, wonders. Lauder told me it better be important, Hello, sir. Successful mission, Yes, sir, we call all the refugees and exposed a large section of the Southern Railroad. Where was that south of Chattanooga with the militia bord us so close? The refugees are getting more brazen. Love me. That was a long trip. Go grab a shower, some child or drink. Thank you, sir. Are you gonna work out? No? I just came back to see you. No ol. Lady asked needs to work out, sir. I just you either have excuses or results. DJ I had results, sir, add is the key word. Get out of here? Dang, what's his problem? He's worried about bringing home Dixon. That's gonna be a delicate operation, TJ. We're gonna have to get into the heart of Dallas. We'll figure it out. I told mister Lee it was going to take us a few days to play in the trip down there. Anyway, how's that little girl doing. She's getting so big. It's amazing how fast they grow. You know you can come and see her anytime. Margaret would love for you to come by. My time is limited, Nate, I know, sir, DJ I have been looking everywhere for you. What do you want? Louder left the hottest little red hair that you will placed, and I have this bottle of whiskey. Let's go. Sounds like a plan. We'll see you later, Nate. Good night, sir. The singing lady. Did you guys hear anything? Not yet, keep listening now, it's a good time of night to catch a good nugget. We're okay. Let's find out about this barcode Anthony Gerber. Damn, this is not a little. Man who owned him? Oh no, that's the guy who took my mom. Yeah, what does he look like? That guy looks mean. He's the guy that took her. He can had to be mean to take your mom, right? Not that mean? He has a dance in the colors. Don't worry Danny. We'll find a way to get her back. At least now we have a name. Why don't you see if Betsy put a snack. Out WI pleasure? Bennett TJ. Swinson is really bad news. He's the most meticulous Downey hunter that's supreme general employees. He never stops until he gets his job done, and he always gets his job done. He carves his initials on his refugees with a whip so they will forever identify as his stock. Even his men are the most ruthless sons of bitious you would ever want to meet. I know who they are. Don't underestimate her, Harold. She killed one of them. Who knows how many more went down on the way to the Capitol. I trained her to be strong, That's. Just the thing you knew, Erica, Bennett. You don't just train her. When we were in Vegas, he tried to break her in the box. How many weeks was she in there? Did you even really succeed Not really? She got close enough and I caved. Exactly the man like that up against a woman like her. We're going as fast as we can, Harold. The first off was you. Next up is scouting away in We'll just have to pray. Her training keeps her a lot. It doesn't earn her too much abuse. She's always found a way to survive before. I just hope she can do it this time. With the news of the marriage. All we can do is hope she's not in Swinson's hands. Who knows where they're keeping her, but I can guarantee it's in a box where she can't escape, or she would have already. Do you want to tell Vince about this? We have to. I'll do it. Are you okay? What am I saying? Of course you're not okay? Come here. I just keep thinking about my mom. Erica is going to make it. She's so strong. Not Erica, my real mom. I watched her get raped rob I was in the bushes and I watched that man beating on her. Erica saved me. My mom didn't survive, but Erica made sure I did. And now she's gone, and that dark man took her. I know it hurts Starr, but we are going to find her. We need to gather all the information we can. What are we doing sitting here blubbering? Then let's get after it. It feels like Anna fuck molling, dad, why won't they go. Pictures of you? In my. Way? 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. Do you need something, missus more? No, I'm just bored. I'll done with your workout. Man, don't worry. I knew I liked you for a reason. So I suppose you know my story? Where are you from? I from California too? Really? Yeah, I was on vacation when the quick kit I couldn't get home, and. Here I am. Did you go to the Vegas camp? No? I never went back west. Where were you vacationing? I went to see those arcs. It was supposed to be my honeymoon. The tickets were noma funnable, so after she still be up at the altar, my dad and I decided to make it into a fishing trip instead. Really, you seem like a good guy. It's her loss. Was your dad still alive? No, he died five years ago after the quake. Enough about me, But you're so interesting. I doubt that. What do you want to know? Why didn't you try to join the militia as soon as you escape? Wow? You do know my story? Well, I'm your guard. I was briefed. It was never about destroying the system. It was about keeping my family alive. But at the trial you upset a very carefully maintained balance. All I did was tell my story.
