“Crazy glue? Really?” I chuckled as I focused my field glasses on the bonded band of mutually masturbating men crab-walking westward. “Your punishment is diabolical.” I shook my head in puzzled amazement. “Intruders were killed in the past for less, so why the sudden mercy?”

“Not compassion. Karma. What goes around, comes around.” Sheila trained her spyglass on the retreating men. “They should make town by sundown. If they cooperate.”

“Karma?” I inquired.

“Yeah, Karma. We can run, but we can’t hide. Karma gets us in the end, and we receive what we deserve.” Sheila lowered her Steiner binoculars and returned them to the case hanging from her hip.

“Nice one.” I glanced at the hard-leather case. “High-quality military-grade optics are priceless. We’ll not see its match in our lifetimes.”

“Exactly. Being able to see further with more clarity than the other guy is a big plus in the game of survival.” The Commander snapped the lid of the case closed.

Karma, if we are to believe such nonsense, is the universe’s way of keeping score. As we sow, so shall we reap; an old and new testament theology with a Hindu flavor.

“Maybe. Maybe not.” I lowered my glasses and reached for a smoke. “Fitzwater hates same-sex lovers. He’s a jerk who gets off violating bisexual women. He’s earned the right to retribution.” I chuckled at the erections the men were growing.

“His mind must be a mess; his homophobic hand welded to the prick of his gay-bashing buddy. Those boys can’t move without stroking each other. Poetic justice in a daisy chain of mutual involuntary masturbation,” she laughed.

Sheila played with words like a cat with a mouse before breaking into a modified off-key rendition of the old classic by the Police: “Every move you make, every step you take, he’ll be wanking you.”

“I would love to be a fly on the wall when they return home and try to explain how they came to be as they are,” the Commander mused without joy.

“Crap like that makes me embarrassed to be a man. They’re traitors to their sex,” I said.

Sheila hugged my shoulder. “They were more true to their chromosomes than you are to yours.”

“Since our mothers swung down from the trees, we’ve lived in a world where the male spreads his seed at will. ‘No’ was never an option for the females of our species. At least not until we evolved. As a race, we’ve been firing on half of its cylinders for much of our existence. We fail to evolve when one gender or another is ignored at the cost of the other. We are one people. We need one another, whether we like it or not.”

“You evolved. They haven’t.” Sheila pointed to the clump of men as they vanished from sight over the distant hill at the far end of the granite ridge.

“Those boys never got the memo.”

“I sent ‘em a message with my method. Perhaps they’ll learn. Likely they won’t. But I’m sure they’ll think double before screwing with us again.”

“And if they don’t?” I asked.

“Then we need to return home and put our house into order. We’ll be on our way in fifteen minutes.”

“Speaking of together, I gotta see Darlene and Seraina. I’ve been worried sick about them,” I said before the leader held me back.

“Tread lightly. They don’t want to be touched by anyone. Especially a man. Give them space and love, Sky. They’ll come around.”

Since the liberated horses set the pace for our homeward journey, Belinda and I changed our tactics from leapfrog to hurry-and-catch-up. We rode from one objective to another and didn’t move until our comrades were in view.

Afternoon rain showers had left the mid-summer sky in chaos as the cool air of the passing cold front collided with a warm surging air-mass from the Gulf of Mexico. Clouds of every type raced the wind across the verdant indigo-blue sky arching above us like the cathedral of creation. Wispy white cirrus clouds painted the gates of heaven with swirls of mist, while fast forming and quickly vanishing stratus clouds danced between the summits and the valleys below.

“My Lord! Have you ever seen anything like this?” Belinda whispered as she bent her head and leaned slightly backward as we gazed upward at the sun-lit top of the billowing cloud tower a few miles to the south of us.

With more nooks and crannies than an English muffin, the face of the misty giant glowed brightly against the pastel blue-gray shadow canyons carved into the contours of the thunderhead.

“Only in the movies. It is stunning.” I lifted my eyes skyward in reverent appreciation and gratitude. “It’s good to be alive, specifically after this morning’s meet-and-greet.” I hunched down with my hand shielding the tip of my cigarette and sparked my lighter into life. “Let’s take a break, my back is killing me, and my butt hurts.”

I used the brim of my fedora to sweep the sand and gravel from a small patch of ground and sat down. I groaned with relief as I leaned back against a sofa-sized chunk of weathered stone and draped my rifle across my knees with the muzzle facing away from my partner.

“Got an extra?” Belinda asked as she sat next to me and pointed to her mouth and pretended to smoke.

“Bad for your health; how about some weed for a change?”

I stubbed out my cigarette and passed her the torch along with one of my pre-rolled cannabis cigars. I needed to relax, and nicotine wasn’t cutting it. Belinda eyed the blunt with suspicion, and I thought she would decline my invitation. Instead, she peeped down the trail for any signs of the sisterhood, smiled and said, “What the hell. Why not?” before she touched the flame to the end and took a toke that would make Willie Nelson proud.

“Ya know something? Back there, you did okay for an old man, Sky.” Frosty stroked my back as she handed me the glowing cigar.

“Thanks, you’re too kind, but I don’t think so,” I said as I shook my head in disbelief. “Waiting for them to clear the crest, I was so scared I thought I would piss myself.” I shuddered at the memory of fear.

“You did good enough to get the job done, and that’s what we needed when you distracted them long enough for us to the get the drop on them,” she said as her mouth bent into a smile. The thin dimpled crease of a scar across her lips accented every expression with a mirror image. Smiles seemed to be happy frowns and frowns looked like misplaced grins. She smiled and took the smoldering joint from my fingers.

“Thank you. It means a lot to hear you say that.”

I returned her smile with a hug. I hadn’t been brave in my deeds. I had simply forgotten to be afraid.

“My pleasure. We work well together,” Belinda grinned.

For the next several minutes we silently shared the mega-joint. Sometimes more is said when nothing is spoken.

“Where do I sit?” I asked Sheila as I leaned against the door frame at the entrance to the meeting hall and surveyed the room.

“What do you mean? Why do you ask?” The Commander gave me a perplexed look.

“At the last meeting, you told me I was to be reassigned and would no longer be your assistant, what is my status?” I studied Sheila’s face and tried to read her thoughts.

“You’re in the Society. Do what needs to be done,” my boss replied.

“A less than useful answer, don’t you think? I hate riddles; just tell me what it is YOU want me to do, I’ll take it from there.” I tapped a cigarette from my pack and lit-up. Halfway in and partway out of the meeting room, no one was nearby to give me grief over secondhand smoke.

“Ditch the smoke, sit with the council like you usually do and take minutes; they’re expecting you.” She carefully took the cigarette from between my lips and took a quick drag before stubbing it out against the heel of her boot.

“Waste not,” she frowned with a strange grin as she slipped the unsmoked remainder into my back pocket and smacked my ass. “Want not,” she casually looked into my eyes several heartbeats longer than necessary and smiled.

“They are?” I peeped over Sheila’s shoulder at the members of the council gathering at the oak table to the right of the Leader’s podium. “They are?”

“You take the minutes at every meeting, and you’ve been doing it since the day you became a member of the Society. Nobody asked you to stop.” She looked at Martha and Belinda in conversation with Jennifer. “You’re knack with words is appreciated. We need a historian; it might as well be you.” She patted my head and walked to the stage.

I had an uneasy feeling in my gut as I followed my mistress of mixed messages. Until I knew the lay of the land, I would make my way gingerly through the shifting moods of the Sisterhood. The twin SkyFire events had left everyone anxious and uneasy. The confrontation with the Sheriff and his posse was a troubling first introduction to the new world beyond our walls.

Like the minds of soldiers finishing basic training on the evening of war, the frame of mind of the Society was transitioning from theory to practice. It was exhilarating and terrifying; a high wire act without a net. No matter how amazing was our grace or beautiful our style, it was still the same distance to the ground if we missed the wire.

“With the hour being...”

Sheila held her gavel at the ready and stared at the silent grandfather clock at the front wall of the amphitheater. Unwound, the dormant timepiece had ticked its last tock at two-twenty-two on the afternoon or morning of some previous day.

“Oh, bother,” she grumbled as she checked her watch. “Ah hum, the time being twenty-one hundred hours, more or less, I declare this meeting of the leadership council to be in session, Sheila Carson presiding. Today’s agenda is in three parts. Firstly, the council will direct a hearing into the circumstances leading to the detention and subsequent liberation of Darlene and Seraina,” the Commander said as she held up a single finger.

“Secondly,” she extended another digit, “we will examine the conduct of our rescue party during our, er, rather sticky encounter with the Sheriff’s Department. Today’s actions may have significant implications for our future relationships with local law enforcement. Finally, we have unfinished business from our last meeting.” Sheila turned to face me. “Mister Wolf’s performance review and duty assignment. We’ll deal with that after dinner recess. But, enough of that. Before we begin, let’s all welcome home our sisters, Darlene and Seraina,” the chief said as she embraced each of the women.

I scanned the hall as I rose to my feet and became one with the assembly as we flooded the hall with a defiant wave of joyful applause. We had met the enemy and prevailed, at least for the moment. With a gentle tap of the hammer, Sheila returned the hall to silence as she pointed to the returned women and beckoned them to rise.

“Speak truthfully so that we may better know your mind. We know that your return was delayed by red tape, something to do with missing paperwork. What happened after we left that caused you to become prisoners?”

“We were closing on the two Hybrid-Electric Ford F-250 trucks and about ready to complete the transaction when we the manager noticed an error in the title. The VIN was wrong, and the registry was closed,” Darlene explained as she walked across the platform and stood before Martha and the other councilors.

“We decided to rent a couple of rooms for the night and finish the mission when we got the titles sorted out,” Seraina joined her companion as her voice trailed off into a whisper, and her body tensed like she was standing on the edge of an abyss.

“What happened next?” Sheila bridged the silence with a soothing voice of inquiry.

“All hell broke loose an hour after we settled in,” Darlene said as she inhaled and held her breath for a moment before continuing.

“I opened our door to investigate, and a terrified girl ran into our room,” Seraina said as she gave Darlene’s hand an additional squeeze of strength and affection.

“The poor sister was a naked, bloody mess with two black eyes, and a split lip. Blood was running down the inside of the girl’s legs. She was scared shitless. Literally.” Seraina wrinkled her nose and continued.

My bladder is the perfect alarm clock. The urgent need to go dragged me out of hibernation as the night sky brightened in advance of dawn. I awoke to the gentle sound of Sheila's breathing. Naked, beautiful, and warm, she lay next to me in the relaxed innocence of sleep. Sheila sensed a change in my position, shifted her body, and pressed her bare bottom into my groin as we snuggled together under the covers. My hand remained cupped to her breast. Sheila placed her hand over mine and pulled it...

In the confined space of the cave, Alice's distressed cry reverberated off the walls, so loud my ears hurt. I scrambled to be at her side. She sat in a fetal position with her arms wrapped around her knees and her whole body trembling like a leaf in the wind. Fear distorted her face, and her eyes closed so tightly her facial muscles twitched with the effort.A tiny voice uttered from her lips, repeating a single word again and again: snakes. Kneeling next to Alice, I put my arm around her...

Secrets of Liberty Mountain No Mans Land Chapter 41

"With all due respect, do we have any idea how ridiculous we look?" I stepped over the long picnic bench next to the community dining table as I stood to speak. My rear end protested.After several long hours of note taking, my fanny was in no mood for a new session. My flat ass had a bad case of meeting butt. My hand was cramped, and after a day of biking thru the mountains, I hurt in places the sun didn't shine."This does not bode well," I said as I closed my notepad and set it to one...

Secrets of Liberty Mountain No Mans Land Chapter 39

With flying gravel and a sandy whoosh, Frosty's motorbike cleared the crest of the granite ridge in an airborne glide before skidding to a wobbly stop about a dozen yards down the slope. "It's Alice and Darlene with five guys wearing uniforms from the sheriff's department." Belinda took my hand and pulled herself up to the top of the incline. "They are under guard, wearing handcuffs. Did they see me?" She lifted her binoculars to her eyes and scanned the rise at the far end of the trail along...

Secrets of Liberty Mountain No Mans Land Chapter 10

The tour of the Liberty Mountain camp consumed most of the day, and I welcomed the chance to sit down and collect my thoughts. We were back in the cabin with about twenty minutes to spare before dinner service, and I wanted to use the time to clean up before supper. Darlene had left me on my own for the evening to rekindle a long lost friendship or love affair. Her parting words for the evening were, "Don't get into too many beds and if you do, save a spot for me." I had a real affection for...

Consciousness came slowly, on the installment plan, one sensation at a time.I groaned and opened my eyes to a room full of sunshine. Dancing clusters of sparkles and glowing dust motes drifted in the sunbeams filling my field of vision as I attempted to focus and give the optical center of my brain a chance to sort out the dazzling array of visual information. For several seconds I stared at the ceiling and tried to remember where I was. Naked, comfortable, and warm in bed with my partner next...

Darlene gave me a warm hug and a glass of ice-cold water and sat with me. I don't know which I appreciated more; her company, the hug, or the beverage. I guzzled the water down in one long gulp. Public speaking is lonely and thirsty work.The sisters stopped by in ones and twos to exchange small talk with Sheila before retiring for the evening. That was...

Secrets of Liberty Mountain Yesterdays TomorrowChapter 19

The protracted stillness in our fabric cave floated from awkward to uncomfortable as we each waited for the other to speak. Silence and rubber bands share at least one thing in common. If you stretch them far enough, they’ll snap. In our case, the break came when Alice’s stomach rumbled in hunger. A few moments later, my gut responded in kind. “I’m famished. What’s for dinner?” Alice wanted to know. “We’ve got bouillon and tea. What’s your pleasure?” I inquired. “I want something to munch,...

“Okay, listen up!” Sheila knocked her knuckles on the conference table and brought the final briefing to order. “We’ve got an outstanding weather report, vehicles and crews are ready. We are good to go at daybreak...” she smiled as she waved at the enormous flat-screen display we had installed several days ago and checked her watch for the time, “ ... which means we’re in luck. We have thirty-minutes for one last run-through.” “Time for a quick cup of coffee before we start?” I made it...

The bright glow of morning sunshine reflected off the snow-capped western mountains and cascaded through our bedroom window, filling every corner with light. Some part of my sleeping brain registered the change in illumination and curiosity teased my eyes open. My initial reaction was a momentary disconcerting sense of confusion that we all feel when waking up in a brand new place for the first time. The mountains dazzled white and magnificent against the brilliant blue sky; Darlene...

Darlene stepped around the front bumper and gave me a hug as she whispered "Did I mention that this is an all-woman survival commune?" in my ear."You forgot to share that little detail with me. What the fuck are we going to do now?" I whispered back.Darlene was like that. She tended to skimp on the details and fill the void with trivia or useless information. Darleen held my hand as we broke from our embrace, and spoke to the assembled women on the porch. "I would like you to meet my lover,...

As the drone’s camera pointed directly down, Alice and I stared straight up, whooping for joy, our mouths as wide open as baby sparrows awaiting a fresh worm. Our hungry-bird-faces filled the screen as Sheila reviewed her notes while she paused the video. “Oomph!” I let out an involuntary snort of laughter; we looked fucking ridiculous. Alice tried to stifle giggles as the audience got the joke. Titters and chuckles filled the hall. Sheila had a puzzled expression on her face as she looked...

Sheila had the soul of a cavalry commander and lived the warrior's code of old. Feed your horses, your troops, and yourself. In that order. Her declaration of a banquet of gratitude was a brazen departure from the typical bullshit command response to a crisis which was: when in doubt, run in circles, scream, and shout. With the generous help of brandy and buds, Martha's magnificent meal of thanksgiving had brought everyone, myself included, back from the brink. "Come on in; the water's fine!"...

"We need to talk" is usually the two slices of sweet bread covering a shit sandwich. I have yet to hear those innocent sounding words when they weren't followed by news to which I didn't want to listen.The last time a boss called me into the office using that invitation, I left with a security escort to the front door with a severance check in my back pocket."Have a seat," Sheila patted the empty cushion and motioned for me to sit.

My sleep was shattered by three sharp raps which crashed through my slumber like gunshots in a nightmare on the morning of the third day."What the hell!" I hurled myself from my bed, stomped across the floor and jerked open the door."Do you have any idea of the time?" My growl faded to a reluctant sigh as Sheila pushed past me into the quarters Darlene and I had shared since our arrival at the compound last fall."Good morning, Sky, time for coffee," she said with a slight smile."It's not...
