"Yes sir" said Tim. He lifted up only with no effort and carried him back to his bunk." I'm sorry about oliver" said Tim to Anna," we all handle our loses our own way" with me its my temper" that's why I get mad all the time and cry, my whole life has been one big mess and I can't clean it up"

"Dammit we always forget the shiv." Jax sighed and continued cleaning his pistol. "Anyway. No mission for you kid. Not until you cool down a bit. Tim took the mission for us. Me and Anna are gonna watch you."

In truth Oliver was usually very strong and cold. But after he'd heard what had come out of his mouth..."Let me free guys!"

"I feel you there. For me, it's just easier to shut it out.." Sadness washed over her eyes as Annabelle thought back to her family.

Suddenly a signal came through on jaxes radio." Breaker, breaker big dady, this is The Rifleman calling in do you copy?"

He stopped his progress, and flipped Jax and Anna the bird. "Fuck you guys." He turned to Anna. "Sorry. I promise that won't happen again." He said smiling. He put his head down again, and sawed at the chain. He gave up, and put the shiv in his leather jacket's pockets. "Can we at least play cards or something?"

"I hear you Cap, whats up?" Jack answered through the com.

The signal repeated " breaker, breaker big dady this is The Rifleman calling in do you copy?"

"Good your there" said Tim "look outside"

Oliver tried to see, but he couldn't maneuver enough. " What is it? Tell me now!" He demanded.

Jax got up, groaning a bit due to the long, deep scratches from the chain link fence, on his back. He walked over to the window and peered out of it. He saw two of the cement barriers on the outside of the fence had been shifted and a group of 10 or 12 geeks had piled up against the chain link. "Ah shit. I'm on my way." Jax picked up his machete from where it was propped against the wall, drew it from its scabbard and threw the scabbard on the table. "Keep an eye on him." He said to Anna before exiting the room. "Cap, meet me at the fence. I'll clear the geeks and then we can move the barriers back." Jax walked to the gate and walked all the way to the back section of fence. He whistled as loudly as he could to get the attention of the geeks. They all turned to him and surged forward. He got into a readied stance and began his symphony of slaughter. He slashed, ducked, stabbed, dodged, swiped, and rolled until 13 heads were either split in two or rolling on the ground. He sat on one of the barriers when he was finished and waited for Tim to show up.

The radio buzzed to life "where are you?" Tim said" I'm about 2 miles west of the base, and there is a giant ass mushroom cloud way off in the distance!"

The radio was going fuzzy. "Cap? Cap come in. Cap do you read?" All Jax could hear was static.

"The county reactor just whent critical!! Can you here me!?" Tim yelled into the radio.

Jax's radio went dead. He got up and stared out over the ocean. His gaze fell in the east, where a large mushroom cloud was very evident, it was obviously coming from the center of Dare county. Jax ran back inside, hopped in his Humvee, told one of the soldiers to tell Olly and Anna where he was headed and sped off down the road.

Jax realized he had none of his gear. He turned around and sped back to the base. He ran into the room where Olly was detained. He found Olly staring at the ceiling and Anna sitting in the chair that Jax had been in. Jax started thinking about it, and realized that the explosion was over an hour away from them. It posed no immediate threat. "Hey guys." Jax said, as he pulled up a chair next to Anna. He picked up his revolver, put it back together and slid it back into its holster that was laying on the desk, next to his machete scabbard.

Annabelle tried to stay calm through the commotion Jax made. She looked up at Jax as he walked back in. "Is everything okay Jax?" She asked.

"Yeah everything's fine Miss Anna." Jax smiled. "How are you? Are you doing okay with everything?"

"I think so. It's a lot to take in but I do feel much safer here. And I know I'll feel much safer when confronted with rotters. And how are you?"

Just then a beaten and bloody soldier bardges in the door and says." Sir, come quick He's in critical conditioin!" Just as he says this the sirens start to go off outside and a voice goes over safety procedure for mass wounded.
