Decision

"You get to sit in jail until you decide." We were all marched to a patrol car. Our bus towed behind.

"Well they are taking us to jail, but they are willing if we are peaceable to put us on the other side of the lakes near the Dakota states" I open the discussion.

"Is it a good place?" June asked.

"It looks more like 2020 then the USA that is for sure look out there right on that corner is a shop that would be perfect for Pearl's mechanic and machinist business it looks to even have a nice yard for your parts." she immediately looked as we went by.

"Stop!" she yelled causing the driver to jump. "Please at least let me write down the number." she pleaded.

The car stopped she scribbled the number. "Look on the other side of the street there is a restaurant that needs a chef. Sue you could live with Pearl and walk to work. " I continued.

"So you don't want us to stay together?" said Mandi.

"I have no problem with us buying a land fortifying it and we have one house with different shops and a barn or two with a large garden. What do you feel is bested? We didn't wake to a lifeless planet like we believe would be, so we are not bound to populate the planet with the few people that was put asleep with us. We are free to choose. Free to find our spouse with anyone on this planet. It looks like no matter where we settle together or a part we will have to fight for our land and freedom. Here maybe simply the fight of the border where in the USA it maybe our very neighbor we are killing to stop him from stilling our live stock or our children and wives. We will also be defending that states borders. " I explained myself. I got a little winded there.

"You got a point there." Talon said.

"Sir do you like living in here? How is the weather the farming season?" June asked.

"Oh I like living here it has the small town everyone knows everyone. You can't keep a secret. The winters are heavy pretty you get to see the northern lights. The farming has it's typical season June to October frosts in both months."

"Are you married?" June asked

"No." He said slowly.

"Do you like children? "

"Are you flirting with me? Maybe to free you from this situation." He said with a narrowing of his eyes.

"Have you looked in the mirror lately. You are a Greek God beauty, and have moral values you could be a good example to my son Richie. I'm June. We are not actually prisoner we have done no crime. " June shrugged. "It's okay it is a lot of responsibility to be a parent even or to be be a father to someone else son."

"That is not it." The mountie now bright red and fluster said as he parked.

"Are you okay Oakland?" said a mountie who was letting us out.

"I'm fine." he reddened a little more and got out opening the door on the other side helping June out.

"Oakland you first or last name?" June asked.

"Last place follow me." he said. The other mountie watched holding back chuckles. June continued to talk to him.

"What did she do not girl has done that before." asked me.

"She called him as beautiful as a Greek God. " said Pearl. The mountie his eyes went wide and he laughed.

"June has her corks and that is one of them. Her ex was very beautiful shaped. Nothing like Oakland is though." Peter said. "She my first cousin so Oakland you better be good to her." he said loudly. Oakland straighten, "We just met." Peter raised a knowing brow that made Oakland shiver then June gave him a slap on his butt whispering something that cause him to jump.

"June is one of a kind. Hardened by her first husband abusive in every way. I'll kill him if Oakland is that way even if he has cybernetics. " Peter said for us they were to far ahead to hear us.

"What is your choice?" We all sat in a big council room in the station.

"Give me a few more days to convince Greg Oakland that delicious drink of water of a man I'm his wife and I'll give you an answer. " June hummed. The captain eyes were wide as Oakland was beet red. His captain turned his head to look at him.

"MaryJane has been chasing you for years not once have you shown even a tinge of pink. This girl declared you will take her and her son in a few days. Is that possible?" the captain asked Oakland smile then looked down.

"Wait were is Richie's father?" The captain asked her.

"He is dead. Do you understand the magnitude of what we have told you of our origin. I am 2033 years old. My son 2007 years old. My husband died most likely about 60 years after our divorce give or take. The only one married here with a living hubby is Sue. Her whole family went into the coma to save the earth's humanity if 2020 was the death of humanity. That was the project of luther Corp when the virus started to kill." June explained.

"Sue why are you separate from him?"

"I went to junior high with Joe there was a party that lots of people were invited to. At first it was fun just a pool party at a house of a local family that had a lake in their yard. About 9 when it was getting dark Joe tugged on my shoulder and the rest of the group we were sitting with to go home.

I didn't leave I don't believe his bad feelings. Three people died that die I was in the hospital for a week waking three days later not remembering much of anything of what happened after he left.

I felt a little uneasy about Dail Connor and when I saw Joe backing up I followed with my daughter and sister in law. I may have experienced some exciting things over the last few days but I am not hurt and my chastity and my daughters are intacted. My husband called saying he is safe with a nice house but my son said that he doesn't like what happened. Told me he would rather have love. Is my husband hiding something?" Sue explained.

"Well you split up into families?"

"We well go where we feel most comfortable. I am not sure what to do my heart tells me play it safe stay build. My head says go see what has happened to this country explore until you understand. If you would let me come back and take you up on that offer after a year. I just feel it is not a good idea to have women and children raised or constantly under threat, so I was going to do the responsible thing." I said. "A base were I could return to; to recharge, to resupply."

"I feel the same." Said Peter.

"I am done traveling I'm embracing this love and never letting it go. I'll stay if my Pearl does I'll fight be a guard on the border. As long as I can come home to my pearls every night at 5 so I can worship her all night."

"I would like to worship Oakland all night. Sounds like heaven." June whispered Oakland stood straighter sporting a small limb. Pearl went read and slugged Talon in the arm. He flinch but winked at her.

"I haven't agreed to that yet. It may have been years since you had any you will get tired." Pearl said.

"I just need to watch you work on your engine and you make my motor run." He growled. A visible shiver and gasp. "I'll do it everything that drives you too fast."

"Stop talking about sex you are driving me to run home to ravinge my wife." the captain yelled.

"Take your lunch we will not judge." Peter said.

"I..." the captain was lost of words. He cleared his throat. "Do you have money that can pay for the shop you saw?"

"Well that depends if you excepted 2020 USA dollars they maybe useless, but we got food from Walmart." Pearl said. "Though if you will not let us work at and live in one."

They talked and a call was made to the realtor was helpful and a tore was conducted. June ended up having lunch with Oakland.

It was also a month before a decision was made. Sue and Mandi decided to leave going to her husband by traveling with the Kent's marketing company that had permission to enter Illinois to sale food.

June Stole Greg's heart and married him. They moved in with him. I couldn't believe we were still here in the town of Trix we didn't live in the jail but was split into the office homes.

The goat stayed with Kevina who stayed with me. I found a ship that was a junkyard. It sat in an iceberg. Pearl was in heaven. The five of us tag teaming watching the kids pulled out the Ship.

We make our decision we would be traveling on this ship collecting information and trash.
