Life and Its Little Oddities
By: TheSearch4

Chapter 17

It was a hard period of negotiating for John. His trust factor with military
people had been badly damaged. So the head of the JCS came to his office
with a staff.

"What do we have to do to find a way to pull things back together?"

"General I have no trust left for general officers or admirals. The man you
sent here as being honest, refused to send troops out to save families of
his own people. Your staff of senior officers are afraid to be human. They
seem to think they are Gods. Well unless their troops vote them into the
leadership position I will never accept them. Any who care to run for that
job is free to do so. If he is a first sergeant and damn good I will back
him. We no longer need an elite military system. So my people will meet with
all who care to run and over see the elections. Just one attempt to control
it or cheat and I will have every general and admiral imprisoned."

"There is no way you can do that John."

"Call your base by cell phone and ask who is running it now? You and your
staff here are hostages until after that election."

One colonel pulled his gun and was pined to his chair. "That was really dumb
sir. I should break your elbow so that can't happen again. But just for fun
try to shoot your weapon."

It clicked on a dry chamber.

"You see it takes bullets to fire a gun and you have none. Not one of the
military staff have one bullet in any weapon. We did not trust you and
removed them. Of course this has all been shown to the people who are ready
to form a country. I assure you they don't trust you either."

The head of the JCS stood and said, "I'll be leaving now."

"Sit your ass down or you will be headed to prison with your other staff
officers."

They now he was shaken and did not know what to do. So he sat and looked at
John.

"You have lied to everyone you have ever known. I have three documents
signed by you agreeing to pull together a group of states and give these
senators power. Just so you know they were all hung. You're a lie walking in
a mans body. In checking you out I found you were really from Russia. The
story given West Point never happened. Attacks that happened in New England
were based on information you provided to the Russian government. I have
copies of the voice transmissions as they went over my satellites. Now how
many of you sick fools would follow this fraud?"

The old mans head was hanging down. He had been sure his past would never
have been found out. "How did you find any proof?"

"They did hand prints on you as a child coming into the country. Russia had
your youth and adult prints on file from the old KBG. I was able to lift
your entire file from the Russian government and have it here. Now we don't
know how many people you helped go into our military or the CIA before this
disaster. But with over eighty code names I would assume a lot. So that will
die with you as you have been sentenced to death. You and your henchmen had
a lot to do with bringing this country down. Of your staff everyone is going
with you as they blindly followed your lead."

You could see alarm around the table. "You can't do that to us."

"Just why can't I do that?"

"We have not had a trial and no lawyer to represent us."

"Here you have had a trial and we don't allow lawyers. The military voted in
favor of your being shot by ninety eight to two. Not one staff member here
did one thing to stop the fall of the country. Each of you sat back and
watched it happen safely on some military base. Not in DC where you were
stationed either. Millions have been killed because of your lack of action
and guts. So someone should feel sorry for you?"

They all knew there was no argument for that indictment. They ran and
followed the general and he led them to a safe place. Two were not going to
say a word as they had come here from Russia and knew their fate if found
anyway.

David marched the group out to the range. Each man was offered a blindfold
before he was walked to the wall. Most took them, as they did not want to
face the guns and piss their pants.

The past head of the JCS was asked for any comments. "Fuck all your mothers,
Russia will win in the end."

The rest died quickly with no comments.

David and Carlton came into John's office. "OK how in the world did you know
about his connection to Russia?"

"I talk with a few people over the world. The old head of the KBG has become
a friend of sorts. He hates the current government. His country home is set
up with a connection to one of my satellites. He gets his world news from me
and I get his files on all kinds of leaders over the world and the spies. So
yes I know the rest of the people here from Russia. But most are not where I
could get them. The ones that are will be dealt with at the right time.
People now know there are a lot out there to worry about."

"How many did we shoot today?"

"Three were Russian spies and not citizens here. Am I going to tell you who
they were? No I will not do that to their families. They did nothing wrong
and deserve protection."

David was impressed with John's stand here. "I think here your right and we
don't need answers."

"Well Carlton is going to Fort Bragg and meet with the new Delta Force
commander tomorrow. The general for Special Forces will be up from Eglin Air
Force Base. He has twenty A teams there now. So here is your stars Carlton
and yours David. As of now your commanding generals of the forces of
reconstruction."

They each were shocked to see four stars on the group. "Who gives us our
orders?"

"The board will do that. We now need both male and female inputs into the
decisions. No one person is going to have all the right answers. We will
need a lot of input and discussion before moving forward and risking lives.
Each life can never be replaced on either side of any fight."

That statement both men knew John believed in. "Who is the board John?"

Dana, Susan, Sam, Jackson, I think Jimmy Davis and me as chairman. Kelly
will train to handle my job one day. She may have a spot on the board when
she is older."

They could see nothing wrong with any board member. "I am curious about why
Jimmy?"

"He is a sound young man with good military skills. Not being an officer he
is going to ask for a lot of information and look out for the troops. You do
know his wife and daughter were killed in this mess?"

"Yes we heard about that. But we have no problem with him at all."

John called his group together except for Jimmy. "OK Dana and Susan your to
give us a female side on events. Sam has a medical and military view and
Jackson keeps us looking at what the young think. We will have Jimmy Davis
when he is able to be here. He is about 30 and ex military from a enlisted
mans side. He lost a wife and daughter in this and has a vested interest in
protecting families."

Being the shrink Susan spoke up. "It seems you want a lot of angles looked
at."

"I told my military men that no one now killed could be replaced on either
side. We need to keep every good person we can. So the military will start
no wars and take no city or county that does not request admission into the
union. Those places will simply be closed off. No one will leave that area
or come into a free one. They may not buy goods or use our money system."

"How are you going to stop that John?" Now Sam was curious.

"Every citizen will have a hand scan and eye scan before being issue their
card of citizenship. That card is their bankcard, travel card and
identification card. That will be done for every man, woman and child in
this country. Children will be up dated every year at school. All of this
will be in one database and used for many services. If you need medical help
a hand scan will get all data any doctor needs. A judge gets every bit of
criminal data and if there is a clean slate they know that."

"How are we going to get all that data?" Dana had no idea what John had
done.

"We have every bit of that data dear. Anyone who has an outstanding warrant
will be picked up when they are scanned. Any real bad apples will be sent
out of our country. We know prisons don't work. So the punishment will fit
the crime."

Susan was not getting this. "What do you mean?"

"Steal and loose a hand, lie and loose your tongue, the punishment will fit
the crime and people will know what you did."

"What happens if someone rapes a woman?"

"They will lose their balls and if that does not stop them they will be
killed. I have no time for people who cannot live by the laws. Our people
should not have to pay money to keep criminals locked up. Once people see we
mean exactly what we have said they will police themselves to some degree."

This was harsh and it was really tough adjusting to this new punishment. But
it had to be done, as the new economy could not afford jails and prisons.
The old system had eaten up trillions of dollars and not accomplished
anything.

Question and answer time went on for over an hour and it was mostly Sam and
Susan asking the questions. Jackson had sat back and just listened to this
meaningless talk. "What is running through your mind Jackson? I see you
smiling and not saying a word."

"I have been out there and seen everything John talked about. People have
shot at me and done everything possible to kill me. Here you and Sam sit
trying to defend them now. Your sensibilities are so delicate you just can't
see facts. So I have been making up my mind on if I wish to serve with
people like you."

This hit Susan right in between her eyes. "Your conclusion to that?"

"I have decided if you can't change I will not serve on this group. It was
people like you that allowed many out there to die. You would never have
picked up a gun and fought beside your neighbors. I don't hear you asking
about protecting people who need it, but the criminals protection your
worried about? You actually told one of my girls they needed to forgive the
beast that raped them. That day I lost all respect for you. Sam here is your
equal and disappointed me badly. He has been with the military for some time
and yet is so liberal he stinks." Jackson turned to John now. "I am going to
leave and if these two fools are replaced with good caring people I will
come back if you want me. I am sorry, but I have heard all I care to. Let
these two go out in a city and see how things really are." Jackson stood and
walked out.

Everyone could feel the loathing Jackson had for both Susan and Sam. "What
is his problem?" Sam was now pissed.

Dana jumped in here. "Sam you're a good doctor and a terrible human. You are
small minded, envious and take your feelings out on others. Just so you know
you would never have had any chance with me. Now Susan is Miss Liberal here
and she had a chance to get that sides views in. But as with most it is
either control things or crash them. I hate to say this but Susan your going
to spend a month in Roanoke and see how it really is out there. Sam you
going with her and you will both be armed. If you have guts and are willing
to kill to stay alive, you might survive that experience. If not your dead
and that is in your hands and not ours."

Both now were shocked and scared to death. "We aren't fighters and have no
skills at that. You can't do this to us." Sam now was panicked.

"Sorry Sam the military voted that if you failed here, that was the
punishment for both of you. Providing you survive we will pick you up where
we dropped you in 30 days time. You then will be taken to a camp we have
helped start. Never again will either of you be welcome here. Today was your
test and you failed it badly."

"But you need doctors."

"No the choppers taking you will bring three new ones back and two shrinks.
They and their families are glad to get some place safe. Each has had to
fight to stay alive now for over a year. But no one in their family was
killed or taken by gangs."

Sam now was crying like a little boy. Carlton came in with troops and
removed the two.

"Who are you going to get to replace them?"

"Two of the new doctors should bring a lot of experience. One doc and one
shrink who have no illusions about the people out there. They will add
knowledge to our little group. But here the group is advisory and I will
make the final decision. It is my wealth backing this new country. Any who
wish to supply the gold can buy me out and run things. I will happily move
where I am wanted with my wealth."

That made things simple for most, as it was his money backing the new
country that came together.

Once in his office John had Jackson sitting there. "Well it happened just
like you said it would son. I had expected Sam to be a problem, but Susan
had always kept her head down around me."

"Sam had played with girls he was doing exams on. Not with permission or
even after asking them. Had he asked and they said OK, I would never have
brought that issue to you. Susan was always telling girls they had to
forgive men who raped them. Had they not made the men feel passion it would
not have happened."

"Well I don't expect either one to survive this trip. I have no feelings for
either of them and will shed no tears over them. They will be dropped in a
park and their lives are theirs to save or lose. I had to pull Dana away
from Susan and do the work to help her myself. So I know how far off base
she was."

"What do we do now boss?"

"Countries are born out of many acts Jackson. Some are good and others not
so good. But no country can be born without money and it having value. Here
we are somewhat isolated and could be taken out quickly by a well planned
attack. What people don't know is if anything happens here or to me, the
gold we have will be worth nothing. I have nuclear devices planted and armed
to make that happen. It takes three hours to get into the vault and before
then this entire valley would be gone with the gold."

"Would any survive?"

"The count down starts when the warning horns go off. You and the kids have
two hours to get away from here by using the horses and ferry to move away."

"I don't understand why your telling me this?"

"You're an honest man Jackson and someone will need to get the word out to
the people. They will need to know what happened and why."

"You sound like you expect an attack?"

"Oh I sure do. I just don't know if they will be reasonable or not. You see
Sam and Susan were spies inside this compound. Both came from the military.
Their cell phones had the numbers for people we had trouble with. My tech
people picked up every phone call they made and taped them. Right now we
know that we don't have any more communicating with the military. That is
going to cause some to want to know what happened. Communications did
continued after the executions. But stopped when we sent Sam and Susan to
Roanoke."

"Do you trust David and Carlton?"

"Completely as they were both screwed by some of the same men. But the
computer people watch all communications and access to the database here for
oddities. I have very good ones and they like the safety and security here.
No one knows where the main computer areas are and the way in or out is very
odd. It takes a shuttle to get there or back."

"It sounds like you have protected us as best we can. Remember I have over
100 troops in my area as well. The scouts will fight to defend anything you
ask us to."

"That is one thing I have always been sure of Jackson. Your young people
don't have the mental problems adults do. Adults get to smart for their
abilities. They go rushing in where only fools tread. Your people stay
focused and aimed at the goal they have in front of them."

Jackson liked the way that had been put. "My biggest problem is my troops
sometimes feel 10 feet tall and bullet proof. But it is always for a good
cause."

"That is often called bravery above and beyond the call of duty. That is
like those young people on the mountainside taking down the aircraft. They
were at great risk, but just did their jobs. To me they were really brave,
way above what others are able to handle."

It was then five people walked into the office and waited for John to
recognize them before saying a word. "I am John and this man is Jackson. He
leads the scouts and was the one who got the info and phones into Roanoke."

"Young man I am Dr. Michaels and I want to thank you. We knew that there was
some safe area out here, but did not know how to contact it."

"Glad to help and I have sent phones and books into many cities and towns.
So it was nothing new to my scouts or me. Our job is to be John's eyes out
there and get information back here."

The doctor turned to John now. "We each have families with us and have
brought children out that needed a safe place."

"What ages are the children?"

"They are from three to around nine."

"Are they fit or do they need medical help?"

"They are fit health wise, but have some psychological damage."

"Jackson they are yours so get them collected and transported to your camp
area and people."

"I am on it now boss." He started to leave.

"Hey we brought them and will care for them."

"Unless you wish to go back there you will follow direction doctor. We have
ways of helping young children that works. You may be a nice guy, but your
skills are way below what they need right now."

One woman was smiling at John. "I assume you have a children's encampment?"

"Yes Jackson runs it and there are many children there to help these adjust.
No adults are allowed there except for the psychologist based on needs.
Jackson is the oldest and each building has one female house parent who is
sixteen or just over."

"Who makes the rules there?"

"The kids do as it is their area and they rule it."

"I am one of your shrinks John and love what you have done here. My name is
Shirley and the guy smiling is Tom who is the male side of our team. We just
did not have the food or clothing to take in many that needed it."

"How many would you say that is there up to say 10 years old?"

"I would say may be six thousand right now, but that decreases each day. Why
10 as a cut off?" She did not get this.

"Look at 11 some things are firmly in place that will never be changed. At
10 we still have a 99% chance at making the needed changes. Jackson's
children all will help others move the direction we want them to. Pam,
Jackson's wife is 15 and her sister Rhonda is 10. They live with him next
door to the children's compound. Both were badly abused and know the pain
and suffering. They saw their parents killed and became slaves. He was the
one who saved them."

Now this group of doctors were shocked. "Where did this happen?"

"They were from Roanoke and had left with parents and friends to find us.
They were ambushed on Christiansburg Mountain, so the adult's sill alive and
kids were taken as slaves. Only Pam and Rhonda survived that."

That story just made their blood run cold. This group had discussed making
that trip. "Where do we live for now?"

"You will all have large very nice apartments, but they are inside the
mountain for protection. Here that is the safest place to be. Everyone in
your family will have an RFID implant, so we always know where your at. It
also stops you from being killed walking through the mountain tunnels. If
you don't have an RFID the computer can read your dead. If it is a
restricted area and your there your in trouble as well."

"That sounds dangerous to me."

"If your not to be there it is very dangerous. For us who live here it is
not even noticed. I have one as does my daughter and wife. Dana works down
in the hospital and travels those tunnels every day. Kelly my daughter has
been in every tunnel we have. I walk them often and in places you can't go,
those areas are very dangerous and off limits to most everyone." He handed
each person a cell phone and charger.

"What are these for?" Shirley had no idea how the communications here
worked?

"If Jackson's kids need you, you will be called. Everyone here has a cell
and we use them to communicate all the time. If you think we have operating
cell towers all over. You called us from Roanoke to make arrangements your
pick up."

"I did not know how that happened. Tom and I were just told to be ready to
go on a moments notice. We lived just next door to the clinic and we fenced
them together after the fall."

That took two off his list and he had three to follow now. Carlton walked in
and saluted John. That was returned and a smile came quickly. "Well how did
our two spies like being sat in Roanoke?"

"Susan was cursing us and Sam was scared shitless."

"If the military send us another team they will get dropped from ten
thousand with no chute. May be they will grow feathers and fly?"

"What are you talking about the Doctor asked?"

"The old military wants the gold reserves we have here. They know no country
can be started or kept running without that. The idea is to stop me from
forming a country and start a military government or dictatorship. The old
head of the JCS was a Russian spy sent here to help them take over the USA."

One doctor now had a red face and his anger was high. "That is not true in
any way as I know better."

"Just what do you think you know?"

"You're the spy and the general was an honest American."

"Carlton please arrest this man. We will all watch him be placed under drugs
and listen to his answers. But I think his prints will be interesting to our
FBI man here to check out."

This raised eyebrows and questions came from that. "What do you mean your
FBI man?"

"One of my tech people is the FBI's old lab director. The files the old head
of the KGB sent to me, he has taken the prints off of. But those files is
what convicted the ex JCS general. Matter of fact he admitted it before he
was shot. We did get three more spies and are looking for just short of
eighty now. So the question is where did this doctor come from and how did
he get with you?"

Dr Michaels knew he needed to answer. "He was a pick up in Roanoke shortly
before we got your phone. We did not know him and have been careful talking
around him. The story we got was he escaped from Richmond and had slowly
been moving our way for over a year."

They got down to the hospital and the man was strapped to a bed. The IV drip
had been started and slowly now drugs were being introduced. They started
with the man completely out of it. Then slowly brought him up. The lab man
started talking Russian and slowly the man started to respond. The fact he
was using Russian let everyone know he was no American and never had been.

Now the group left and headed to an apartment so they could see one. It was
Sam's old one and very nicely redone. "Man this is really nice and you say
we are in the mountain?"

"The hospital is just below you and if you go up to the top you can walk out
a door in the mountain and onto a walk to the town. Now here you will make
house calls when needed. Sick people don't get up and come see you."

The doctors were now all laughing. Finally Shirley decided to answer John's
look on his face. "We have argued that for the entire time we have worked
together. I agree with you no one sick should take that illness and transmit
it to an office waiting room full of people."

"If anyone says they had to come see you when they were sick, it will cost
you big time. Here there are no medical charges for any service or drug. I
will give you your home, food, utilities, clothing and a small cash salary.
That salary is backed by gold and will never be worthless."

Shirley just had to have an answer. "How does not making a house call cost
anyone?"

"That doctor gets a week as medic for one of our youth scout teams. If they
fail to keep up and provide good care they get a month. That keeps growing
until they are either fit or dead."

"Hey I will volunteer for that right now. I am really good at first aid and
would love to get the exercise." Shirley was a real energy ball he saw.

Here the doctors saw he was not pulling their chain in any way. "When do you
bring them to the hospital?"

"If they need surgery, delivery or to be in isolation. Other wise they are
better off at home. Neighbors will help each other where needed. Many of our
families are military and they are very close knit."

This raised some eyes and the question came. "What kind of military?"

"I have seals and green beanies here. My Special Forces people are the very
best and loyal beyond belief. Here your as safe as on any military base and
really better off than most. We have good food and not MRE's like most bases
are living off of. At least that is what the general said that met my man
Carlton at Bragg."

"Why did anyone want to meet with your man?"

"Some think my ideas are the way to start a new nation. In that there would
be no states and each community would run itself. They accept our national
laws and we run all banking, power production, communications, oil and
refining as well as transportation. Government makes its money to operate
off those businesses and there are no taxes. It makes no new laws, as the
people must vote to add or change any law."

That sounded king of simple. "What is the reason for restricting laws?"

"The new country will have no lawyers. If you file suit against someone you
will do it. The laws are ten pages in size and very clear. Any ten year old
could read it and understand it. There are no more filing lawsuits for
money. You doctor need no malpractice insurance. But if a doctor does screw
up and kills someone, they could if they used poor practices be put to
death. We will have no prisons so we have few options for punishment. Steal
and lose your hand, lie and lose your tongue, it is hard punishment but
everyone will know what you did. If that had existed before no politician
could have said a word."

They all headed to homes to either get settled or John to his office.
Carlton was sitting there waiting. "Well boss do we have more?"

"I think so my friend. There is no way to tell you why I feel that way, but
I sure do."

"Trust that feeling as I sure do. So we will keep listening and waiting to
see what happens?"

"Be sure Jackson knows to watch Shirley, as she was far to fast to get out
from places she could be watched."

"I picked that up as well. But like I told you the general said it was not
nearly over yet."
