Chapter 14a -- Android, iPhone & Windows Mobile Books


Colebrook, New Hampshire (April 27)

The group met at their regular spot on the edge of town in Mr. and Mrs. Philbin's cellar. Segments representing the Mountain Boys and the New Hampshire Covenant packed the room.

Time ceased in the drab underworld. Though mid-day, the room was black beyond the glow; a tight beam of sunlight crept between sill and stone, and arced across the void. Mrs. Larson sat with her massive shoulders hunched, listening to every word Reverend Thoreau spoke. The large woman didn't like what she heard and seared through the minister with her dark, beady eyes. Out of respect for his position, she refrained from saying anything. Also present were Max and Helen. Chaos and Wolfenstein represented the Mountain Boys. Others of the Colebrook Covenant besides Helen and Max were Mr. and Mrs. Philbin, Mrs. Noel, and Harvey Madison. Captain Thomas and Steve Morrison waited outside.

Reverend Thoreau came to speak to the group on behalf of the prudent population of Colebrook who wanted a common-sense solution. "This movement has gotten out of hand. You're not considering the consequences on the rest of the community. Everybody's worked up and going along with it, but what are you fighting for? Secession? Is that it? You want to start your own country? You people have got to sit down and figure out where you want to end up. The Feds will come in here to put an end to this like they did in Utah and in the Southwest--as they did in the Carolinas."

"Like they did in Boston?" Chaos added. "What about Boston? The Feds sent the best they had against us. We got what we wanted and got out anyway. On top of that, The Wizard is starting a sister Covenant in the city with a secure communication link. And, sir, the Feds stopped nothing in the Carolinas. It simply moved here. I don't know you, but I respect your position; however, this struggle is about representation. Bad urban policies the Feds pass to gain votes, should not be placed on the backs of the rural working folks. And the very fact that uprisings happened in Utah and in New Mexico and in the Carolinas only illustrate the problem. The Feds can stop an uprising, but they can't put out the fire inside us called liberty."

"Yes! Yes!" Vanessa Larson stood and towered over the others seated. "Yes! That man is absolutely right. Someone's got to do it and it's going to be us. My little boy didn't die for nothing. There's no compromise while that crook is in the White House." Chaos' statement struck a cord with Mrs. Larson. She spoke passionately about family and community . . . as tears seeped from the corners of her eyes. She pointed at others as she spoke, her tiny eyes squinted and peered beyond them. "That bastard in Washington might as well have signed his resignation in blood the day those boys died. I want him out of there. There's no room for compromise! No room!"

Helen's jaw firmed up with the recollections Mrs. Larson conjured up; her squinted eyes held back tears of rage. Reverend Thoreau spoke out before Helen could react, "Fundamental change can take place through the system. We should at least work out a truce and start a dialogue."

"No way," said Helen. "No way." Mrs. Philbin and Mrs. Larson joined in. The three women began talking at once, stating their opposition to Thoreau's idea.... Vanessa Larson's statement the last definitive voice in the mêlée, "And I don't think you have any business telling us what we should or shouldn't do. Who did you lose?" Mrs. Larson taunted the Reverend.

A pause. Chaos and Wolfenstein looked at one another realizing the dynamics of the situation. Harvey Madison had no idea how militant the New Hampshire covenant had become. His vision of the Covenants as that of a benevolent, self-help organization had turned into a violent uprising. He looked to Max. Max stared ahead expressionless as he sucked his teeth; he was unshaken by the suggestion of armed revolt.

Chaos broke the silence, "Well, there you go, Reverend. I think we're going to prepare for a fight. If you wish to contact the Feds and set up a meeting and talk with them, that's fine, but we have to prepare for the worst. They can't be trusted."
