5-4 Dallas

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. H m h. M hm. Hm. She ran for me. It wasn't Jillian, it was Erica. H m. She should have been here with me. Instead, she's at the Supreme Generals enjoying the lap of luxury. M h. Urie, got your coffee to you? I know, could you verify Dixon's location? I think mission godwn and scalted ourselves. Before we plan the mission, we need to have pinpoint accuracy. I agree. The city is buzzing right now. It shouldn't be too tough to get in. Let's head out in the morning. What do you want to take in the gru. Is Nate out on a mission. No, he's available. Then we'll take Nate Gomez and Stalwart Stalwart. Yeah, he could stay with the truck. I want to have him sit down, talk with Erica's boy. Make sure he showered. I will head over there now and you can come when you finish your breakfast. Teacher, what. I've been thinking about? What maybe I could want to fight? Why would you want to do that to protect myself? I told you I'll always protect you, but you might not always be there. What are you trying to say, Genie? I mean, what if something come in to you? You'll still be taken care of, But I could The answer is no. It's a silly anyway. Lost through the sunrise, I will run. Could he get in that line? When you fine that open door? You gotta let them love you more. Standard hearts will always fight. The darkness. Sun. Get up, Erica, I'm already up and ready to go. He won't be here for ten minutes. I guess I'll go pick the splinters out of my butt. Then, oh, give a ship? What you do? One great? Then you can let me out? Very funny. Old wait for. Do this? Ah, the. Let's go. Good morning Darling. Good morning, Supreme General Surf. I like the new look. I don't understand, sir, your fancy gloves and you're putting on weight again. I'm feeling much better, sir. Full breakfast eggs Benedetta. Now this is a problem. Why, Supreme General Surf, this looks amazing. We can't have your fancy gloves getting soiled. Chef, get her a fork and knye. Are you sure, sir TJ. I am the Supreme General and I will decide what my fiance is allowed to do and not do. Yes, Sir, I'm sorry, Supreme General, Sir, tell me. Something about yourself. Eric, What do you want to know? Sir? They store it from your child. I grew up in Michigan. You may have noticed the accents. The first time I met Juice. I loved horses. My neighbor had too. I used to help take care of them and rode them. I finally talked my mom and getting me one. What kind was it? He was a beautiful black and white thing. I loved that horse. Go on. When it was cold in the winter, I would ride bareback. We would go to the gun club. He wasn't afraid of the shooting nope. Cool as a cucumber. He would pick through the snow to get the tender grass while I sat inside and drake hot chocolate. You used to shoot as a kid, Yeah, small caliber rifles. My grandfather taught me to trap shoot. When I was thirteen. I had a beautiful nickel steel twelve age. When did you start shooting? The truth is I hardly ever did. I already had two years of college under my belt when I joined the Air Force. I went straight off to school. Don't they still require you to pass the shooting test? Yeah, but when you know the right people, life becomes a little easier, just like it did for you. Forgive me. I have to go. I won't be back to dinner, but we'll do dinner to mom. I anticipate the reunion, Supreme General, Sir, I will miss you too, Darling. Come on, he left some food? Can I have it? No? You ate your breakfast? Oh? Come on, that's half a bottle of wine left. I'll split it with you. No, let's go fine. Adding it all. Because my perspective it's broken. It's Suffering's a way to earn up. I better start. Putting miles on that. But I'm so tired. Wondering yim, huh, I said, get up? Okay, I'm up. Stand up, Jeremy, take him to the showers. Yes, sir, come on, you feel like I feel like. Think past something? Do you take it? There you go? They're soaping those trains by the closet. Are you gonna sit there the whole time? Yep? You better get on with it. Okay, showerday isn't until tomorrow. Something that's going on? What do you think it is? It's better never to ask, just follow holders. You've got that. Head sounds like five, but then with five. Jason, what about Jason? The old damn that thing? Huh, don't time nervous. That's why it's better to pull up orders. You get less of those. You're falling back. To fund this game? How do you get up when your body saying no. You've broken all the chilas? How do you take back? Take back what you lost? Follow me is not a chance? Get it up and make a mess. Ye, try.

We've got to go, Dad, Dad, what Danny? You said that you would take me off to the gym today? Just go. Then Benn said he doesn't want me going all alone. He thinks weren't too much danger. Take your soul, Dad, Come on, all right, all right, give me a minute, Dad. Were you drinking last night? Little a lot? You still stink? Here? Eat this star brought it home for tease, Thanks Danny, Dad. What Buddy Carrot said? This guy was a crazy fighter. Don't you think you should be training instead of drinking? When you're my age and you just lost the love of your life, you can start telling me how I should handle it. Daniel Wade, damnit tiv oh hija? Now how you holding up? Honestly? I'm falling apart. If I remember the story of the lone survivor, you waited months for her to come home after the quake. How did you do it? Then? I don't know. We were just surviving. We had lost everything. I didn't know if she was alive at all. Then you need something to do. It's all being done for me. Bennett doesn't want me to go anywhere, so I'm not seen. Your group does have a lot of chiefs. They're all super people, and I really appreciate that, but they're almost too damn ef fishing. Why don't you train with Daniel? Because all I do is think of her. Erica lived in the gym. Every exercise makes me think of her eyes, her smile. I know your struggle. After I lost my husband, I never wanted to see another fe she ron again. Yeah, she's not gone, Vince. You'll get her back. I appreciate your concerns Now, I'm sure you have a busy. Day ahead of you. You let me know if you ever need to talk. I'm here, I thought by now than be my friend. I know that this confidism means to in in. But on the. In, but I'm living. I can't be. Where are they? They're cool, meek, You're late. I'm so sorry, sir, it won't happen again. You're right, it won't give me your back. Now, get out of my sight. Have a seat, son, Yes, sir, lets you and me have a chat. Yes, sir, let's start nice and easy. What's your name? Dexter More, Sir? Where were you born? Auburn, California? Sir? How old were you when the great quake hit? I was five, sir. What did your mother do then? She was a prep cook, sir? And your father, he was a landscaper, sir? Where did you live after the great quake. In Las Vegas FEMA camp. Sir. When did your mother start training martial arts for the Great Quake? Sir? And when did she start teaching you? As soon as I could walk? Sir? Was your mother part of the resistance in Las Vegas? Yes, sir. They took everything from us on the way to Vegas, including our dog. They told my mom he would be meeting us in Vegas, but they lied. My mom wasn't having that. Dad's always been at her side to support her, Sir. How long were you in Las Vegas? Sir? I'm sure you have a file. What's that you'd rather go to a federal prison? Nine years? Nine years? How did that happen? My dad helped design the gardens when we first arrived. He always ran them. We had friends there. Whenever we got interviewed by a host family, Mom would make sure they knew we didn't want to come. Sir. You were fixed at thirteen, Yes, sir. My parents couldn't get Starry out bafore then, but they did Daniel. Just none of that matters now, though Daniel was born at that. Camp, yes, sir, before the infertilization laws. Your mom was part of a riot there, correct. Yes, sir, she was when they came to take Star. Mom and Dad fought. Erica was put into the rehabilitation process. Correct, we all were, sir. They put us in metal cells, but Mom was in a tiny metal box for weeks until she agreed to conform. To the rules. She doesn't like to talk about it much, did she ever? When we took the rescue squad job with the beds I'm kept saying she recognized the voice of the sergeant was training us, but she couldn't place it. Sir Bennett, Yes, sir, What does that have to do with her imprisonment? Bennett oversaw the reeditation process where they first met. He was the soldier encouraging her conformity the whole time she was in the box. Later, when we went to work for the FEDS, they put him in charge of training our squad because he could control her. Ben when we escaped, then it is the one who found us and saved my father. Actually, he's been with her ever since until now, sir. Interesting, Why did you guys run? You know the official story, But truth be told, that was always the plan. Mom just needed the perfect opportunity to get us all out. She waited nine years. Yep, she trained, im plotted, m planned till one day the timing was right. You guys escaped from a prison facility during a convenient riot. Did she plan the riot? No, Mom didn't have anything to do with that. She never wanted to go back to a cell or be in chains again. That's why she played along. Is that what you're doing right now? I'm sorry, sir. Playing along to try and get on my good side. No, sir, what I'm doing right now is called saving my ass. I screwed up. I'm landing me here. I don't want to go to a prison facility. She had to have some help to get out of there. There was a. Soldier, Alex Bingham. Mom and dad knew his brother Andrew. He organized a group of survivors in California before. The tsunami, and Bennett, am I right. Yes, Sir. Bennett had us arrested so he could get us out with Cassidy. Cassidy Baker, the Western Militia leader the same. She hated mom, then though, why my mom killed her dad? When we worked for the BEDS, she. Was on a rescue squad, she didn't have access to firearms. She took the gun from the soldier and shotcast these Dad to protect the soldier. What was the soldier's name? I don't remember. Don't lie to me. We were getting along just fine. Seriously, sir, I don't remember. I think it was Private Forester, Faster something. It was a young guy with blonde hair, a major jerk off, if I do say so myself. Who was your contact once your family left? We didn't have one. We made our own way north, foraging and barely surviving. Daniel's chip would defaulting to kill mode, but the radiation was messing with it. So we found out about dolorses from another refugee. We ran into Clinton. Yeah how long did you stay there? Not even a night. I took care of Daniel, but we had to leave. The Feds and merks were hunting us. I was too You ended up in Montana, Yes, sir. Dad was bitten by a dog and a really bad infection set in. My mom carried him across the state, but it finally got so bad we had to find a place to stop. What Without Dad. Mom didn't even want to live, she was trying to die. She went straight into a group of a dozen soldiers, dropped them all to protect us. Then it found you though, right. Yes, sir, she found us, helped my dad, and we spent the winter there. She was attacked before her journey to the Central Region. What happened to the men? She was jumped in the library by three guys. She killed two of them. My grandpa found her struggling with the third and killed him. That's about the same time you joined the Merks. Yes, sir. Did you know then that they were trying to overthrow the Supreme General's rule? I? Uh, don't test my patient's son. When did you find out that the Merks were federal traders? When we were in the cabin in Montana, ben Adhem Vergess told us. Uh, yes, Lieutenant Colonel Virgess, we'll take care of him soon enough. What's your mother's birth name from before she married your father? She? Uh, Fisher, Fisher was her name. What's her favorite color? Blue? What did your father used to call her Erica? Oh, couples have a pet name. Why did your father used to call her? I he I mean I killed him. He reached my objective. It was nothing person. She will be the Supreme General's wife. You want to fight me, no, sir. Tell me what he used to call her used to call her baby. You've been trained well, son, and you've been most useful. I think we'll keep you around. For a while. You want me to get him ready for transport. No, we can't keep him here. He should be dead already. She'd pail to the Illinois facility. You know better than a question of Yuri, who gave you your life? Do you wear a chip? I'm sorry, DJ, I won't question you again. Get the boy at chip and make sure he stays in that cell. Yes, sir, TG may want you a theater, but I despise you. Boy, Make no doubt. I will you watch your every stick. This is Smoky's. This is. Disaster coffee is fueling disaster relief in America. Our coffee is roasted to order and ship to. Your front door. You cannot get it any pressure. Visit Disastercoffee dot Com and caffeinate with a purpose. That's Disastercoffee dot Com. I'm coming, Patrick, Come in? How are you? I'm getting along? I was wondering if I could talk to Harold for a moment. Harold coming, Bennett, What can I help you with? I met a woman in Reno, and we well, we fell in love at the Homesteads. Is this the miss long Legs that I've heard so much about? Michelle? Her name is Michelle Benson. If anyone can find someone, it's you, and I thought maybe. Of course we can search the database for Come on, I bet it, Hi Star hear anything yet? Johnny has been transferred to the same federal prison that his father is in. Do you think Dexter is there too? Haven't heard anything about him? What are you guys looking for? Did you get a lead on Mom? We think she's at Henderson's mansion. That's what the chatter on the street would suggest. But that TJ guy, he doesn't seem like the time to. Let go depends on who he takes his orders from. True. Okay, Bennett, I have a record here at the homestead She joined a supply group. That's right. She was going to Denver, but north of where we were. I do see the supply caravan did reach its destination. That's a good thing. What happened to her after that? Honestly, the log's in there. I was afraid of that. It wasn't pretty when we left. Thanks for looking. If it's meant to be, you'll see her again. Keep those years open. Star, I will are you stay for dinner. I'm sorry, Betsy, I have to get back. Nickleton took a team north today so we can get a route into the central region. Planned go walk you out by Betsy, Bye Patrick. That decision couldn't have been easy. It wasn't. Betsy is a great cook. Leaving behind the woman you love to find Erica. I don't know that Michelle is in danger, but I am one hundred percent certain Erica is. Michelle has been a survivor all her life. I have no doubt I'll see her again. Thank you for protecting Erica. I know she's not always easy to deal. With, but it's always been worth it. Good Night, good night, because you do sometimes. And it can't be beautiful. Dallas. It's surrounded by glicia activity. I think the best idea is to ditch the truck up north and walk in. They're skinning the vehicles closer than the people. On food worked at the homesteads exactly. Vernon is just up ahead. You boys need a break only if that's okay with you, sir. What do you think, Urie? You know how I do look to pass the time in a small hotels with fine ladies. Star wars pitch us a camp outside of town. Yes, sir, when it's done, you can join us. Yes, sir, you have everything you need from the truck, sir, I'm all set. Mister Schwansteon, Sir, it is an owner to have you down. What will you have? Have a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of vodka? Keep your credit, sir, I have orders from Supreme General to care for your needs. Here, urie go get us a table. Is there a black man with green eyes still driving a ferry back and forth? Oh? I know that man. His name is Melvin. He moved south and long after the fast control of Vernon. I guess you ain't a big fan of federal control. Then again, lots of them? Aren't these a fair amount of boats from deserters. I ensure that we still have people moving back and forth. But his boat wasn't one of them. Has the traffic been steady since? Yes, sir ree, since the eruption in the bombing in the west, the food is gone. No one have anywhere to go. They had been sold. They volunteer for service. That won't do good things for business. What's the news out of Dallas? Not too many freedom fighters on around through here these days to sure know what I'm talking about. Hey, man with a net as white as yours, must catch something now and then word. Has around these parts of your boys cared for. Jimney knots that true. I'll make sure you're taken care of. Word has before everybody seized the boats. Patrick Bennett, Ben Nickleton and Cole Vergis were Melvin's last passengers across. The Melphan Product crossing. They're scoring a group of freedom. Fighters fighters who was so important that three of the foremost leaders of the merced Ay forces become themselves. No word on their identities. Melvin had to pack their vehicle away from everyone else and kept them hidden from you. Melvin decided to go south and the king throw. Though what were they trying? Red Javy pickup? But this thing was tricked out and all we wrote it a Dreux Air from the cabs and can function in the ash quite smart. If you're asking me. I'll keep an eye out for it. I'll have one of my men supply your need. Gool the Infu seems an old friend is in Dallas too. The Guardian we all know and love. Really duel bird is with one's story. We'll have to get the lay of the land, Nate. Yes, GJ. Go take a vial to the bartender. Yes, sir, it's going to be tricky enough to thread the needle with our heads on our shoulders. His two best friends are with him. Really, where would they leave the list now? Because it got annihilated with volcanic ash. It must be a healthscape right now. Means for the night, Hanson? Are you sure you can handle me? Sugar? I think I'm not the challenge. Do you know who I am? Of course I do. You're TJ. Swinson, the most powerful bounty hind the niche. Okay, here, but you said you love me? Darn song. Bird? Now soundthings change. Like somethingside insly biorge Field. Who could play that ball? It's the one story my home. This is far enough, your ee. Pull it to this gas station up here. We're all out of gas. We need a garage, got plenty of fuel. What have you got to trade for? What's your pleasure? That was about half your gasoling, that's pretty steep. How about a quarter of what we have left in five cases of AMMO for those guns? You and your boys are sporting. You got yourself. Dear mister George, open up the garage if you don't mind, I'll grab your stuff and i'll drive her in for you. No deal. My boy Stalworth will stay with the vehicle. He has his own supplies. It won't burn you. Let me driving. H Hey, Pristine nineteen sixty nine Ford Mustang. This thing is beautiful. That's why I'd rather store her any vehicles to come in here. She's not the only pretty thing hanging out in my garage. Very nice. I could definitely take her for a ride. You don't drive TJ. You never have. What about before the quack she's always headed driver? Well, well, he must have been pretty in something like that. We'll be back in a day or so. See, I'm good. I'll keep your saying.

Go to store dot doom and bloom dot net today. You'll be glad you didn't. Hi, Daniel Hichel, you hear alone? No, I'm sure my dad is around somewhere. You know, Bennett doesn't want you being alone. I told him. I think he's talking with Janelle. What's up? You know Mom's gone. Dad's a mess. It hasn't been easy. I don't really want to. Talk about it. If it's okay with you. That's why I come here. When I'm doing forums, I don't think about anything else. I get that. I don't want to talk about it either. I hope you're working your brain as much as you are your body. How do you mean? Situational awareness is just as important as fighting skills. If you can see the problem before they happen, and even if you don't have spirit fighting skills. You can win. HM like seeing your opponents move before they make it. Yeah, it's called what an up? Air Force Colonel John Boyd came. Up with it an Air Force guy. Yeah, we can't hold that against him. Are you sure. Anyway? The Kuddhist stance Wire observe, orient decide, and act. You have to observe your opponent, the surroundings, and consider possible influencers of both. Yeah, Benna, talk to me about that. He has to count all the people with blue shirts when we goes to the market. Right, like how your mom counts soldiers. She does that so she can track when trouble is coming. She does do that. But knowing what's coming is enough. You have to be able to quickly adapt to the changing circumstances by properly adjusting. Your game plan, orienting yourself exactly. But while you're orientating, you'll see a bunch of possible. Paths you can take. So you have to decide on which way. To go, and then you act. But you have to constantly practice because this could be a situation where you can analyze it for weeks, or you may only have seconds to. Go through the whole process. I know all about that, sir. Every time the black Shirts come, you only have seconds to react. You've been doing a dan fine job with. The Danny I Cassidy did no, she didn't hear said that she died with honor, so she'll go to Balhalla. Here has his own unique way of looking at death. What do you think she went, I. Don't know, Danny to have I guess. Do you think you'll see her again? I sure hope. So you better get back to your workout. I got to get to the strategy. Meeting, Michael. Thanks for hanging out with me, of course, Danny. Cat so. Just yeah. Always keep your head, never let it beat, always keep your head ever let it. Be Hi, Patrick, where is everyone hilst? I heard they were at the bar down the street. What gears practically living over there? They're supposed to be here for a strategy meeting. I didn't hear anything about that, really, son of a. Thanks, I need to direction now. What hell, let me give you a piece of advice, she said, j Bold And why. So? Do you believe. Bennett? Did you come by to have a drink? No? I don't care. It looks angry. What has your shorts in a bunch? Bennett? We're supposed to be having a strategy meeting tonight. Remember oh that was tonight. I thought that was tomorrow night. This is not a joke, guys. We need to get Eric aback. I agree. Where are we going? I don't know? That's why we need to strategize. And is there any more information to discuss today that we did not discuss yesterday. No, we're still waiting for Harold to find a location. Then what is the point, Bennett? The point is we need to focus and I'll spend all day swilling beer in a bar. I have an idea. Why don't you do you and we will do us? We should have never brought you with us. Gear. I knew it was going to be a problem. Maybe you are forgetting who's truck got you this far? Then maybe you should act like a leader instead of like a drunk. I can wage war when I am called upon, and I can drink the nectar of the gods when. I am not in battle. Whatever year, where's Burgess? I do not know. I have not seen him. What about you? Ned the training building to have to don Well, at least one of you is good for something. I am starting to get offended, Bennett. Good do you want to make something of this? Gear? Way off Demand's not wrong. The faster we get Eric go back, the faster we can get home to our families tomorrow we are back on past. It's going to take all of us to get this done. Will be there let's split up. It's easier to blend it alone. Yes, DJ, meet back at the court. It's in a half hour. I can't believe Erica. Moore would make a deal with that devil in Kansas City, after the way she melt all those people. In the hospital. Maybe she's just trying to end all this fighting. They just took Denver. Wh I give up? Now? I heard she's gonna marry them after her husband was just killed. That's just scandalous. I think it's all a ruse. How did they get her into the central region for the parade without the whole countryside lighting up the news of her arrivals. Low survivor is always appearing and disappearing. That is true, that's true. He's not wrong. I got to meet Erica Wance. Hold up, folks, what do you have in the count handmade blankets for the week? Are you altogether? Yes? Sir? Go ahead? Next? When did you get to meet the lung survivor? I was in the battle with her at the Southern Wall. Was she just as incredible as everyone says? Her and her husband change the game, and she's incredibly inspirational. If she marries a Supreme General, it will unite the country again. Maybe if Dereka could talk some sense to the man. I've got business on the other side of town. I'll see y'all later. You better come and try it like it? Oh you time A great story. Sounds like a planan ury day. Let's go get a room and get to work with this crowd. We should be able to pick up and tell ev too. Biz, we can pick up more Stok. There are some beautiful leeman here. Stay focused, get the room, identify where Dixon is, and we're out of here. What about those fighters who got to rein it. We have to know who they would. Dixon is our priority. The Supreme General wants him so he can eliminate the opposition at the wedding. One glean throat and the resistance easily eliminated. That's right, let's get it. 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.

Everything is fine? Come here. How do you do it? How do you handle a pain? I don't know. It hurts every day. I can't do it. You can't do it. How selfish are you? She is the only. Selfish thing I ever wanted, and I lost her. So everyone who loves you has to deal with the pain of losing you. Paul lost Ginger and baby Bill, but he's still here because you asked him to be. She's just gonna leave him. You're gonna leave me? And what about my mom? What about Bennett? You're right, that's what keeps me here. I lost Kyle. We didn't get to spend nearly enough time together. Before I know. I'm sorry, Starr. The point is we are all in this together. I need you to talk to me instead of putting a gun in your mouth. Do you think you can do that? I think so, thanks, Starr. We are in this. Together, in this together. We're in this together. We're in this together. Wa Well, oh my hands? Are you done working out? Yeah? I'm done for the night. How are your hands? They're okay? You got enough of those gloves to cover them up when you meet with the Supreme General. Yeah? Thanks, Jefferson. I brought you something for the pain. What did you bring a lot of whiskey in the glass? Oh? I will take some of that. Smooth, isn't it? How's it looking out there? Quiet? That's why I brought you one of these as well. I smoke. Won't someone smell it? Like I said, it's quiet? No one will know thanks Jefferson here, but give me back the lighter. You are too good to me. What are you doing here fighting for them? Anyway? It's none of your business. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to you. It's okay. Let's just say I have my reasons. But that doesn't mean I haven't followed the legendary story of the loan survivor. The loan survivor doesn't really make a difference, now, does it. Oh no, it does. I've never seen the Supreme General as captivated by one of his women. One of his women. I'm sorry, I just some pair we make. What's the news from the war. The merchs took the west and the southern border is holding. The militia is actually pushing the line. The problem is the lack of suns Yellowstone Land. What I wouldn't do for a window? Sorry, TJ's rules. People are getting hungry out there. But the Supreme General has started a massive warehouse building program to support the network of indoor farms needed to feed everyone. What about all the light bulbs? There's three more factories being built. Now. How bad did the volcano affect the North? I'm not sure, having heard noise from up that direction. Why I had more family going up there. The Supreme General bombed the route and I never knew what happened to them. Who were they? My in laws, Kay and Earl Moore. I'll look into it and see what I can find out. Thanks checks, coming on shifts and give me the bottle in the glass. Here you go, sleep tight, Eric. Omore, you too, Jefferson. Oh, we pushed on through the rain. I know that things must change. On to live again, out on to again. Thank you for listening to The Changing Earth audio drama based on the Changing Earth novel series by Sarah F. Hathaway.
