  When she came out of the bedroom he was laying on his back on the bed with his hands behind his head looking up at the ceiling. She jumped on the bed and then straddled over his hips landing a little hard on him. He made an oof sound and laughed, reaching up he pulled her down and kissed her. He rolled her over so that he was on top and started kissing her down the neck and she felt his hand slide down and gently grasp one of her breasts over the t-shirt while he ran his thumb over the hardening nipple.

  She was running her hands down his back and she grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it up and over his head. He threw it off to the side of the bed and said, “That’s not fair, you still have your shirt on.”

  She laughed and said, “Well I guess you’re going to have to take it off.” He pulled the bottom of her shirt up and stopped just over one of the breasts and took the nipple in his mouth. She groaned in pleasure and then he moved to the other. He released the nipple with a slight pop and finished taking her shirt off.

  He kissed her again, lingering this time with their tongues twirling together and she enjoyed the sweet taste of his mouth on hers. He then started kissing down her neck and back to her breasts where he was caressing them down the sides and lightly around the nipple. He took a nipple in his mouth and his hand traveled further down, continuing the light caress over her smooth stomach and down between her legs. He lightly rubbed over the outside of her panties and she could feel a bulge that was pressing against her leg. His finger pressed just hard enough to push her panties just slightly into her slit and he found her hard nub and pressed just a little harder and circled his finger around. She moaned and his mouth was back on hers and she could feel his breath coming harder, matching hers.

  Tom moved his hand away and she almost cried out when he stopped but he centered himself between her legs and pressed himself hard against her. She could feel his large bulge press up against her hot wet slit and his mouth was on hers, kissing her hard as he pressed himself harder against her rubbing up and down. She reached down between them and ran her hand under his boxers and circled his hardness with her hand. He moaned into her mouth and she squeezed and stroked him. He was large, much bigger than any man she had been with before and she suddenly understood why Amy had suddenly become interested in him after she saw him naked.

  She pushed his boxers down so she could get a better grip and he helped her and pushed them all of the way off. His hand slid back down between her legs and he pushed his finger under the side of her panties and found her wet slit and slid his finger inside. He started rubbing her hard nub with his thumb as he slid his finger in and out and her breath started coming faster and faster. She knew she was getting close to the edge and she wanted to feel him inside of her. She pushed his hardness down and between her legs and moaned. She was saying his name over and over.

  Finally, he removed his finger and rolled slightly off to the side and yanked her panties off. She pulled her legs up and wrapped them around his waist and he pressed the head of his hard rod against her entrance. He pulled his face back and looked her in the eyes as he slowly pressed forward. His stare was intense and she was lost in his deep green eyes as he entered her just slightly and then pulled back. He continued slowly working his way inside of her until he was all of the way in. Watching her face and her reaction the whole time. She felt so full and tight around his hard shaft and he felt so good inside of her.

  She moaned his name again, Tom, Tom. He said her name once, Samantha. And hearing her full name on lips did something to her and she felt herself coming like she had never done before. He suddenly started pumping in and out of her slowly at first and then faster and faster. She felt herself coming again and again and then he kissed her hard on the lips their passion combining and he called her name out as she felt his hard shaft throb and erupt inside of her.

  He kissed her gently and lay on top of her. Slowly kissing her all over her face and neck. He pulled his head back and quietly asked if she was alright and she said yes and wrapped her legs around him tighter and pulled his head down to her lips for more gentle kisses. They kissed for a short bit and then he rolled her over so they were both on their sides. They lay there talking for a short bit.

  Then suddenly he said, “Oh shit!” And he sat halfway up in bed. He looked at her and said, “I’m so sorry Samantha! I forgot to put on a condom!”

  She laughed and put her hand on his arm and said, “Tom, if I was worried about STD’s from you I would have asked you to put one on. But you don’t have to worry about getting me pregnant, I got a 5-year birth control implant two years ago when I was in college. It’s perfectly safe!” He sighed and lay back down in relief. He shook his head and told her he was sorry for not asking beforehand. But she was so sexy and he was so into the moment that he didn’t even think to ask.

  Sam was thinking about how easy it was to forget such things and she told him it would probably be a good idea to get some condoms and put them out in the lobby so people could just grab them...now would not be a good time to bring a baby into this world. They needed stability first. Tom smiled and pulled her close to him. He said that was what he loved so much about her, she was so level headed and was always trying to think of ways to help others. Sam smiled back at him and she told him it was the same for her.

  After they cleaned up in cold showers and got dressed Sam opened up all of the curtains in the mini apartment to let some light in. She looked around the kitchen and saw it was stocked with cookware and dishes but of course they had no way to cook here or keep fresh food. Thinking of food, she realized her stomach was growling. She asked Tom what time it was and he looked at his watch and replied it was just past 07:00 and time for them to head out to the kitchen to organize cleanup and breakfast. He said he was sure that there would be some people standing around wanting to know when they were going to be served.

  Sam carefully climbed the ladder into the attic. When she reached the top, she caught herself reaching up to the pull the cord that was hanging down from the single light bulb. Realizing what she was doing she shined the flash light around instead. Taking the last step up and looking around she saw several large plastic tubs, bigger than the ones she found in the Shed. There were also some plain brown boxes and one very big one that was obviously a Christmas tree and it made Sam wonder how close to Christmas it was, or if it had already passed.

  There were plywood boards around the center of the attic but she could see thick spray-in insulation all around the edges and going up onto the roof. There was enough clearance for Sam to walk to the edges of the board, but Tom would have had to stoop. Sam could see every breath she took and she wondered just how cold it was. Her nose and ears were starting to feel the harshness of the cold attic. She shined her light on the closest tub and she could see it was labeled like the camping tub had been. The label said, “House decorations”. She popped the lid up, just to see what that was, and to be sure it wasn’t mislabeled. There were strings of lights and garland in the box.

  She walked around, careful not to step off the side of a board and between two rafters, looking at each box label and lifting the occasional lid, there were Christmas boxes with wrapping and bows, Christmas boxes with ornaments and more decorations. She found several marked donations and found small baby clothes and boy clothes. Finally, she found the one labeled “Winter clothes”. She opened the lid to be sure and then pushed the big tub over to the opening. The ladder went down at an angel and she decided what the hell, and just pushed the tub down the ladder like it was a slide. It slid down to the bottom and then turned over. It was just clothes so she wasn’t worried about something breaking. She checked the rest of the tubs and found another labeled Emergency gear. She lifted the lid and on top was a small silver packet she shined the light on it and saw it was a Space blanket. She put the lid back down and pulled the tub over to the opening. It was heavy and she knew she
couldn’t slide this one down. She shined her light back to where the tub had been and saw 2 big white buckets, on the side of the buckets was a label that read 72-hour Food supply. She put the buckets on top of the Emergency gear tub. She checked the rest of the tubs and found another one labeled “Kids Winter clothes” and decided to take it down in case there were some of the boys’ clothes in there that would fit her.

  She slid the Kids tub down and watched it hit the other tub and slide off to the side. She carefully climbed down the ladder with the buckets in her hand and righted each tub and tucked the clothes back in that had fallen out. She then stacked them and opened the bedroom door and dragged the two of them, with the buckets on top, inside together. She shut the door quick and went to check on her beans. The room was much warmer and smelled of delicious beans cooking. She stirred the pot of beans and warmed her hands close to the hot pot. She even put her gloves on and placed them against the hot pot until she could feel the heat and then put the hot gloves over her ears and then face, the heat felt wonderful.

  She went back out into the hall, opening the door as little as possible. She walked up to the top of the ladder and pulled the tub to the edge and walking backwards down the ladder, guided it to the ground. These were a lot easier than getting the tubs down inside the shed. She folded the ladder back up and closed the hatch, using the hook stick to close it gently. Placing the hook on top of the tub she dragged it into the room.

  Fort Jackson, SC

  When Sam and Tom walked around the corner and saw the dining room they were shocked. The mess from the night before had been cleaned up and there was a breakfast buffet sitting out and people were already sitting down eating. Sam and Tom looked at each other in shock and wondered who had managed to get this done. Not that people couldn’t do things without their guidance or help, but they just didn’t expect it to all be done without someone previously arranging it. Sam thought that maybe John had gotten up early and organized it. Just then John and his wife with their two little ones walked up and John said, “This looks good Tom, your doing?” Tom shook his head no and said he thought it was John. They looked around the room and saw Maria and Jerry sitting at their table from last night and both were holding coffee cups.

  Sam looked at Tom and said, “Do I smell coffee?” At the mess hall they were not able to make coffee because the coffee makers only worked with electric and they didn’t have any way to percolate coffee. She wondered how they had managed to make some here. They all walked to the buffet and grabbed plates. The buffet was loaded: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, hash browns, grits, biscuits and gravy. There was a cold section with fresh fruit too: Watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and tubs of butter and cheese.

  Looking at all of the food, Sam wondered if maybe whoever had done this had gone overboard. These were food they hadn’t had in several days and she knew that until they could grow them their selves, there wouldn’t be anymore. But she also hadn't seen the stores, maybe these were the foods that were going to go off soon and the more she thought about it the more she realized these were foods that would have short expiration dates and if the gas went out...they would go to waste unless they were eaten first. There was also a drink and condiment bar that had milk, juice, coffee, jelly, hot sauce and silverware. They all loaded their plates up but Sam noticed nobody was over greedy, they only got what they were going to eat. But when it came to the beverages Sam got both coffee and milk. She loved both drinks and was going to enjoy them while she could.

  Just as they were sitting down with Maria and Jerry they heard a loud voice say, “Ohhh ohhh weee! Look at this spread! I’m gonna stuff my face and come back for more!” Sam saw it was Belinda Jackson and even though Sam felt the same way, she knew that with 60 people that needed to eat, they needed to make sure everyone got to eat before pigging out. Sam saw John put his tray down on the table and with a tight look on his face, he said he would be right back. He walked over to Belinda and the group of people that were with her, loading their plates at the buffet. She wasn’t sure what he said but the group didn’t look happy and quickly finished, with some even putting portions of the heaps of food back. The whole group walked over to the tables that Sam was already thinking of as the gaming tables.

  Sam’s whole table had been watching John and when he sat back down Tom asked him what he said. John said he told them that today was going to be a labor-intensive day for all of them and they might not want to stuff their faces too much. He then looked and Maria and Jerry and asked if they knew who had set up the buffet or if it was one of them. They both looked at each other and said it was done when they came down and the only ones out here were the Dozier hall people. John nodded and said well, they are probably used to having breakfast ready for all of their guests, so I guess they just went forward with what they were used to doing. He added that he thought we should all thank them and to make sure they are included in planning for the future.

  Sam enjoyed her breakfast, especially the coffee and was thinking of going back for more coffee but didn’t want to seem greedy. The woman that was at the check-in desk last night, Christy she thought her name was, was just coming out of the kitchen with a fresh pot of coffee to refill the dispenser and John waved her over. She walked up to them smiling and he asked her if she knew who they should thank for this wonderful breakfast. She looked at Sam and Tom and said, “You should thank them.” Sam and Tom were shocked and looked at each other. They aid in unison, “What? We didn’t plan this!”

  Christy laughed at their confusion and seeing that Sam’s coffee cup was empty she held out the pot and asked if she wanted more. Sam held her cup up and said, “Please!” More cups were held out and she filled them all while she told them that last night they overheard Sam and Tom talking about arranging cleanup and breakfast for the morning and they had all decided to do the clean up before they went to bed and then they got up early and set up the breakfast bar. She explained that they hadn’t had much to do over the last week and they were all rested up and were just so happy to have a large group of people, they thought they would show their appreciation. She added that she was also concerned that all of the food was going to go bad before they could eat it. She continued saying that they had a full shipment delivered the morning of N-day and there had only been 8 people here all week to eat the food!

  They all laughed and John asked her if she and the others would join them for the meeting this morning to make a plan for all of their futures. She said she would let the others know and they would all be there! She then went around to the other tables and filled up coffee. Sam was glad she had done that, otherwise she was sure there would have been complaints again of special treatment.

  30 August 2020 N-Day + 51

  Fort Jackson, SC

  They had been at Dozier hall for a month and a half now. The gas was still on but they didn’t know how much longer that would be. They had just about finished off all the perishable foods and were looking for new sources of fresh food. So far everyone seemed to be pulling their weight. They had a few problems getting some people to see the light, but a few trips out into different areas and they were starting to see the bigger pictures.

  Tom had done some tests and determined that it should mostly be safe to go outside without gas masks on now, that it had rained a few times. But he advised everyone that a strong breeze could carry the Nerve agent out from areas it was hidden and if they entered enclose places that had the agent inside they could also come in contact with it. So, they all continued to carry gas masks and wore them if they were in areas that hadn’t been cleared with certainty.

  They had search and rescue going out every day looking for people that might be trapped in homes or businesses. They had found a few, but not as many as they had hoped. They had a 2 ½ ton truck with a loud speaker on top and they drove aro
und the base and announced that they were there to rescue anyone that was still alive and to wave out the window or put something in the window to let them know they were there. So far it seemed to be working well. They had rescued 30 people, that included a few families with children. Almost all of them close to the point of starvation. Sam had thought it would be more and was sad to see the starving children come in.

  They had also sent teams out to look for family members of those in the group or those they rescued if they were in the local area. They searched homes and businesses where family and close friends were supposed to be and only in a few instances did they find them alive. Most of the time they had to deliver bad news.

  Tom had also tested the soil to see if they could plant gardens and determined that they would have to remove at least the top 6” of soil, and to be safe, it would really need to be the top 10”. Maria had provided them with a bulldozer and backhoe from the Logistics yard. They were in the process of scrapping off the topsoil in two different areas. Tom said once they had it all off they were going to enclose the area and make large green houses and fill them in with clean dirt. He had decided that going with sunken barriers around the garden should keep any chemical run off from getting into the garden once it’s planted.

  They also had supply run teams and Sam oversaw one of them. They would make up lists of things they needed and the supply teams would go out and try to find it all. They went mostly to stores and businesses and military buildings. While out on one of their early supply runs into town they ran into a group of rough looking men with guns and they started shooting at them. Sam’s group wasn’t armed and thankfully they were able to get away in the big truck they were in. But after that they broke into one of the military armory rooms and armed themselves. They realized they probably should have done that sooner and set up their own armory at the Hall. They made sure that anyone going out after that incident have some form of gun for protection.
