“Gus has more info on the Logans and I’ll get more information from Josh. Dismissed!”

“Mr. Wolf, are you comfortable? I want your stay with us to be as enjoyable as possible while we question you.”
The Wolf was lying with his head lower than his feet with a wet towel over his face. He had been water boarded several times in his career and did not like it, but could concentrate his mind on young ladies and other important topics. He smiled when the woman took the towel off and said, “You really need to pour the water a little slower.”
She slapped him and pulled him up by the cable attached to his handcuffs until he was standing. She waved a man over to help her pull the cable until the Wolf was standing only on his toes.
“Let’s see if standing like this for a few hours will loosen your tongue.”

Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, Alabama

“Sir, I have the clubhouse on camera now.”
The drone flew in over Lake Wilson from the east and had a bird’s eye view of the eighteenth hole, which was a par 3 looking at the majestic clubhouse. The clubhouse was setting on the south side high above the lake. The drone then flew around the north side of the clubhouse and went on to pass over most of the course before flying back to view the front of the clubhouse.
“Sarge, you have been to that clubhouse, haven’t you?”
“Yes, my buddies and I have played golf there many times over the years. Try to look into the open basement doors under the clubhouse. I’ll bet they have most of their Humvees and small vehicles stored there. The rest will be in the golf cart tunnels that go under the roads. There are several large garages and warehouses on the way to Muscle Shoals that could be used to hide the five ton trucks."
“Sir, there are some objects of interest.”
The Lieutenant walked over to the monitor and saw the golf course on the screen. There were several vehicles in the trees, which could not be hidden from IR detection.
“Sir, there is the tail end of a Humvee poking out from under the clubhouse and it’s still hot.”
“Thanks men. Keep a drone over the target until further notice. Give me the usual info - number of men, vehicles, arms and movement.”
The Lieutenant passed the information on to HQ, which passed it on to John’s team.

“Roger, put a team together to assist John with the mission to Florence. Be prepared for action if the NG troops are not friendly. I will have overwhelming air support in case they are not friendly.”
“Yes, sir. I don’t think we’ll need it, but who knows what we will encounter. The world has been turned upside down.”
Roger quickly left to organize the mission while Captain Bob Jones and John discussed his team’s role.
“I don’t think we should over-think this situation. Go meet with them and see if they want to join us and get their families moved on down here.”
“Bob, I agree. That’s why I had Scott drive over to the RTJ and make radio contact with Major Mills. He seems to be a nice guy in a bad jam. They can’t go back to Kentucky and save their families, but are afraid that we will attack them. Scott is having lunch with them and setting up a meeting with me.”
“So what do you need me for?”
“Muscle, in case they are playing us.”
Bob laughed and walked out the door. The door opened and Bob said, “Aren’t you supposed to be with Beth and the baby? How is little Jenn doing?"
“They are asleep and I snuck out for a minute. Both are doing great. Beth’s daughter and the women of the bunker are a big help. They
