Lynn and Sam had gone to all three of the sporting goods stores in their area, they were pleased when they were able to get five hundred rounds of nine millimeter, two hundred fifty rounds of ammo for the forty-five and varied amounts of twenty two caliber, some more thirty ought six and twelve gauge shells too.
They also did find for Dylan some snare wire, MREs, water purification tablets, twelve camo rain ponchos and by some stroke of luck had found three wrist rockets. Lynn immediately called Tawny to tell them that they should look for marbles.
Tawny had gone to the various dollar stores. She found ten gallons of ammonia and five thousand marbles. Although, she had no idea why Lynn wanted them, she bought all she could.

Tawny still looked confused and shrugged as Lynn continued,
“I got the three wrist rockets, a.k.a. sling shots, right? Well, we shoot marbles with them. The Best part, or worst part depending on which end of the marble you are on is. Upon impact they can shatter creating shrapnel.”
Tawny smiled ear to ear while nodding understandingly.
