At the meeting of the top generals, General Warbler said, “How much time do we have before they start putting these new Presidential decrees into effect? We need to put our thinking caps on and figure out a way to stop him from taking our money. After all, we need to do some repairs on our missile launching equipment. It needs to be top notch and ready for any attacks from Russia or China.”
General Miller added his two cents worth to the conversation. “We have given away some of our planes and bombs to both Israel and Lebanon. It is important we replace those asap! They were given away, with the understanding that our ammunition would be not only replaced, but beefed up.”
General Titan said, “We have three bases that need barracks added as we move in more troops. That money was voted to be used for that purpose and it is not right for the President to take it for those losers!”
General Warbler asked, “Well, do we ask the CIA to do us a favor?”
General Titan said, “I suggest we go outside of the CIA and find an independent hitman to help us, what do you guys think?”
“That is a top notch idea. That will prevent anyone from tracing the hit back to us,” General Warbler said.

Sue came to speak to Donald. “Donald, I would like to remain here, if that is an option. I really enjoy the location and especially the camaraderie. This has been the most exciting time of my life and I feel like it would be boring to return to Portland. If you could use my services as a nurse, it would make me very happy.”
Donald said, “Of course you can stay, Sue! You are an invaluable part of our team and besides that, I have grown quite fond of you. I love to watch you taking care of people when they are injured or needing other care. You have such a motherly heart!”
Sue blushed at hearing Donald’s words. Donald was approached all day by different members of the team, some asking about leaving and some asking about staying. At the end of the day, he called everyone together in the main room. I know we have received some exciting news and each of you must be a little apprehensive, besides being excited. I don’t know if you realize or have thought about the fact that it will be a few months, at least, before any of this takes place, because first places must be found and purchased and then the buildings must be built. So, it will be a while before you have to have your mind made up about what you personally want to do. So, I think you should take your time and consider all options before deciding. Now, Nancy has brought a celebratory snack of caramel popcorn, freshly popped and some wine!
Jim put on a movie and ironically enough, it was Cocoon, the movie they had missed the night they left the cruise ship. Most of them were unfamiliar with the movie or had forgotten what it was about so when the scene appeared with the old folks leaving their present situation in a boat and having to make a quick getaway, it stirred everyone up and got quite a reaction!
