Sam Jr has a plan. Aka Best laid plans of mice and men.
The next week was uneventful on the sexual front. A scouting party went to the main Island. The report came back to Sara and I as we now both seem to be in charge. We acquired a few more people from it, and they brought back a LOT of building supplies. One of the survivors father piloted a tugboat of all things and taught his daughter how to pilot it so they loaded up a small barge with supplies and finally got the tug going and with some help got it to our island. We got enough building supplies to develop the whole island if we wanted. All in all we picked up a lot of propane for the generators, a couple extra generators even, a fork lift which we found useless with all the sand on the island, and a couple small bob cat earth movers which will come in very handy.
We acquired 23 other people all under the age of 20. We are slightly overwhelmed with the numbers. We have them in tents right now (Got to love Wal-Mart) but the extra people are putting a bit of a strain on the islands resources. Sara and I have been talking about maybe settling the main island, but is it not a safe place to be right now. One thing her book had right was to beware of People, There is one gang on the island that claimed they own it. Only about 30 people that look like gang banger from some Mad Max Movie. Other than them the island looks vacant of people and Zombies. There were reports of a few wild Dogs that at some point were probably people's pets. We decided that any further trips to the island required a few more guards.
One of the things we did acquire was a nurse and he mother that was a midwife. This came in handy to the point that we now had several expecting mothers on the island that were yet to even start showing their condition, and were just now starting to miss their first monthly cycle.
Thanksgiving day was coming up in a couple days. Liz and a couple other ladies asked Sara if they could put together a feast and since we just stocked up on supplies we had plenty of food. They announced that it was a formal dinner and everyone needed to come dressed for it. We had outgrown the conference room for dinner, and the able bodied people helped erect a huge dining shelter with some of the supplies we picked up. We had 53 people on our little island, and one puppy.
The day before Thanksgiving day, As the women were getting thing ready spirits were high. We had an alarm go off at the boat dock. Someone had entered the lagoon. When our security people of the day got there (which I was one of) We were greeted with 4 speed boats with about 5 people each in them. Since our first run in we were very skeptical of people coming to visit us. Being in charge, I went to greet the newcomers and was rewarded for my efforts, with the sting of a low caliber handgun bullet in my right calf. Like all good people, I dropped down grasping my leg as my backup returned fire wiping the intruders out. One of the boats turned to take off and one of our guys shot the motor causing it catch on fire. The gunplay was short lived, the two people in the boat swam for our shore were they were quickly captured at gunpoint.
After "politely" talking with the two prisoners we found out they had left one man guarding their group of women. A few other polite words and we found out where their camp was. It was in a hotel along the ocean. I wasn't going, that was for sure, Jackson, My dad and James gathered a couple guns each and took one of the speedboats that was not damages in the fire fight along with one of our boats to pay them a social visit.
When they got to the hotel the found the guns were a waste as the women actually had the one guard strung up, totally naked and bruised up, outside the hotel lobby. The Women were actually girls about 10 of them in total mostly in the 18-20 year old range and couple older women. They all looked rather rough and in need of a good shower and hot meal. They were invited to our island were we at least had hot water, food, and some clean clothes they could have. Only one didn't want to come she wanted to wait for her boy to come back. I told her we had two survivors from their group and that was it. She decided to go with the rest. Dad (Sam Sr.) decided it was probably best to keep an eye on her.
Arriving at the island, I'm told all but the one woman, Bertha. Were happy to be free of the others and told their stories of abuse, neglect, and multiple rapes. Bertha's son was one of our prisoners, so we detained her with them. Somewhere in the night the threesome escaped and made it to their boat, where one of our guards promptly dispatched the them on sight. I know this seems gruesome, violent and mean, but evil people just need to be dealt with and sometimes they are unwilling to give up to any law.
Our nurse attended to the girls, everyone claiming that the raiders got off easy compared to the how the girls were treated. I won't go into any of the stories that went around, but I agree.
Okay enough of that, it's depressing. Especially on Thanksgiving day. I was very well taken care of. At Dinner we all took turns saying what we were thankful for. Some just to be alive, other to have found love, and mostly things like that.
When it came around to me I said, "I'm very thank for everyone here, That I wasn't killed yesterday, and for our nurse that has been taking care of me, Carol and Marsha for their help, and of course my lovely sister Sara. She truly is the love of my life. I so glad so many of us have found those close to us can be the loves of our lives. Months ago we would have been locked up for what is now kind of normal. Last of all I'm grateful for the food we are about to receive and the lovely women that worked on putting it together. Oh.. and one last think, Make our new guest Welcome! LETS EAT!"
Later that evening back in our room, laying in bed bandaged from just above my knee to about mid thigh, wearing nothing else we got visitors. It was Carol and Marsha coming to check on us. They were both wearing light yellow sundresses that came to just past their butt cheeks. The bullet wound was just a flesh wound and nurse Jackie (yes Jackie) told me to just take it easy and don't do a lot of walking.
Sara opened the door, freshly showered and naked. I will admit I admired the view of her backside as she walked across the room to open the door. She greeted them, "Hello girls, I was wondering if you were going to stop by. I appreciate you helping me with him last night. Sam will you at least cover that thing up, no one but me should have to look at that."
Carol said, "Anything for one of you two. You know that. "
I moved to cover myself and Marsha said, "I don't mind seeing it at all, how about you Carol?"
Carol replied, "I've seen it before and never minded seeing it then and I really don't mind it now."
Marsha said, "I kinda like seeing it."
Sara said, "You guys are being too nice to him. But I agree it is kinda nice."
All this attention left me speechless, but true to being male, my little friend was starting to pay attention to them.
Marsha was the first to say anything about it, "Look, it must like us too!" and she giggled.
Carol commented, "It's getting hot in here."
I said, "I feel fine, it's you guys that's all dressed up. Get comfortable and hang out for a while."
