Chapter 9f


She wiped her eyes and smiled in relief. The words sent chills through her. His verse described her condition exactly; the difficult trials of parenting had faded. Brighter scenes remained. "I guess I owe you an apology. I thought you guys were a bunch of disgruntled rednecks. But how did you link up with someone like Tumult, and where do you guys get these names?"

"Everybody has a--well, call it a soldier's name, so the Feds can't trace us to our folks back home. As for my name, it kinda came about because of the combat tactics I use. My real name is Virgil. Please call me Chaos. Say what you want about Tumult, but you want him on your side. Granted, he's a Nazi and a racist, but in a fight he's exactly as his name predicts. He started the Tobacco Wars. They were called the Tobacco Boys back then." Chaos smiled reminiscing. "My brothers brought me into the group the day I graduated from the Citadel."

"I've heard of that," said Helen.

"What you heard about it was gracious, I'm sure. Everything I learned there about tactics and strategy was worthless after doing maneuvers with the Tobacco Boys. They started out as a paintball league, you know." Helen nodded. "Oh, yeah," continued Chaos, "they fight in packs of twelve to penetrate enemy lines, then they shoot 'em up from the inside. The Feds wind up shooting their own guys with friendly fire while the Tobacco Boys know exactly where their troops are because of our communication systems. Communication is critical with that type of helter-skelter combat. Tumult's paintball league developed that fighting style and with it, we've pushed back Guard battalions ten times our size in the Tobacco Wars, inflicting tremendous casualties."

"Your group doesn't seem to be racist like the others."

"Oh, I'm not one of them. Tumult's part of the triad shares the Klan's mind-set. Snake is more reasonable. One thing's for sure, Ma'am: You want these SOBs killing their people and not our people. When the smoke clears and fair government is restored, they can go back to their paintball tournaments and the keg parties that follow."

"I know you're sincere but I have trouble sharing your optimism."

"Despair makes optimists of us all. I have no other course."

Helen felt a sense of security with Chaos. She was attracted to his brown eyes and sincere disposition--and of course, his charm. The incident at the house had bothered her earlier, the fact that he might be a wanton killer beneath the Southern chivalry. But that had been laid to rest tonight. He was compelling in a quiet way; she understood why he had the trust and loyalty of his young rebels.

Toward the end of their visit they kissed, but like the Southern gentlemen he was, it went no further. His powerful arms wrapped around her, made her feel secure. Even though the threat of an Army reprisal was always there, she had a protector, Chaos: the philosopher, the poet, the warrior.
