Collins frowned. "Looks like we're going to be busy. Black Wolf is sending a couple of teams to retrieve the train. We're supposed to guard it till they get here. It was originally destined for Black Wolf but was hijacked. They have no clue where it's been since then. Looks like you were both right about people. This book of his makes more sense now. By the sounds of it, he was part of the group that hijacked the thing. His writing gets more and more disjointed as time goes by. It says here his commander ordered the train to be moved one night. It goes on with more commands to move it to different places until it ended up here where he died."

Jimmy laughed. "So this guy helps hijack a train, is slowly going insane and hijacks it from the hijackers." Yousef giggled. "It ends up almost to where it was supposed to be in the first place." Collins shook his head. "Weirder things have happened but this one makes the list." Jimmy thunked the railcar's side. So how long do we have to wait for the teams to come to get this girl?" "Shouldn't be long. Malone wanted this thing tucked away in Black Wolf like yesterday. It's carrying more than food supplies for Black Wolf and some stuff for the other units as well."

Jimmy leaned forward off the car and gave it a scared look. "Please tell me there's no A bomb in this thing. I really don't want to get radiated and shit." Collins smacked him in the side of the head. "Idiot! the first thing they did when the Sickness started was to lock down all that shit. Hell, they even powered down the nuclear power plants when they ran out of people to run them. As far as I know, the damn things are locked down tight and guarded." Jimmy grinned. "That's the story and the government is clinging to it."

The men came to attention at the sound of a train coming their way from the southeast. "Fan out! I'd like to think this is our guys but you never know." The men took their positions. The train shortly came into view as it slowly pulled into the yard. One man climbed down from the engine as it stopped. "Hey Collins where the hell you at? I ain't freezing my ass off out here so you and yours can play hide and seek."

Collins laughed and stepped out. "Just making sure you were what we were expecting you moron. Besides, we're bored with hide and seek. Only damn things that want to play that game are the sick animals we track and they cheat!" Sargent Rohan Triton grinned and waved for the men to come out. "Let's get this old girl started and haul her butt out of here." Collins laughed.

Kyle slowly woke to an empty bed. He heard the bedroom door click shut. He shook his head. Ian was still having him watched while he slept. No more than a few minutes later Ian walked in. "How was your nap baby?" "Good but it left me with a big problem." Ian smiled. "You need the bathroom." Kyle nodded. "That and I need you in a bad way." Ian uncovered Kyle and carried him into the bathroom, placing him on the toilet. "I could have tried walking lover." "You're not strong enough yet. Hush and let me baby you until I get over you getting the Sickness."

Kyle sighed. "We both knew I would get it eventually. I was lucky not to get it when the rest of the family did." Kyle went for the TP and Ian took it out of his hand. Kyle relented and let Ian clean him up. Ian laughed. "For being such a good boy and letting me have my way, I'll let you sit in a chair and gossip with the ladies. They've finished their shopping and agreed to have lunch here." Kyle whined. "I wanted to see them shopping and I missed it." "Well, you can gossip about it with them at the table. Ian combed Kyle's collar-length hair. "There, my baby is all handsome." Ian picked up Kyle and took him into the dining room. Agnes smiled. "Oh, Kyle you're up. Let's catch you up on the gossip. Love is in the air for Caramel and Corrine." Kyle smiled. "Okay ladies, I want all the juicy details."
