Hit the highway

Turning on the radio, there is silence as we flip down to the information signal...This is The Amazon American Army, we now have control of the area that you can hear this message from. If you have not been processed you are to go to your city center and await pickup. Failure to turn yourself in to the Amazon American Army may result in certain ****.

As if we are going to do that I say, though I see Cindy looking back at the city as we hit the highway.

"That might be the best choice" Cindy says after more silence.

"What be a part of some army. I would rather not the first thing that happens when the world goes ass over tea kettle is an army is started and the sounds of it tells me it is a women's army now that is not bad if you are a woman. As you all know I am not and I would rather not find out what they want to do with men."

"Let her go" Roger says from the back, "she is just an uptight dike anyway maybe they need her kind there."

"Stop the car" Cindy yells turning back towards Roger, "I will kick his useless balls up to his throat."

"Stop it both of you", I say in an angry tone.

"Darla, switch places with Cindy will you" I suggest and the girls crawl over the seat so now the twins are in the middle seat and Cindy and I are sat together.

Placing my arm around Cindy's shoulders I pull her closer, "You know Darla and Yasmine both mentioned that since this thing whatever we want to call it has happened we have all been without human contact which can really hurt us as a team. Cindy slowly relaxes against me, her head on my shoulder.

"He is a good hugger" Darla offers.

"He is that" Yasmine says and they both laugh lightly.

Cindy rests her hand on my thigh and I kiss the top of her head as I hold her close driving down the road.

Time passes until we find a barn off the road and head for it.

The message on the radio keeps repeating itself until it finally fades because we cannot get it.

Pulling the car inside the barn we close the doors and settle in for the night, knowing we have a full days drive again tomorrow.

Margo and the twins help Roger get settled outside the car and Cindy and I go up in the loft to see how it is up there.
