The whole messy business woud have to remain quiet, at least for now. Luckily, the only person he was aware had seen them (that wasn't manning the wall, anyway) was little sis Kristina and she didn't seem too overly curious about it. But there would be questions, and soon. Jim knew. Kris saw something. The security would change shifts eventually, and observations would spread to the general population. Questions would soon follow. So for the meantime, the best thing James could do was go back about his business. That meant preparing the finest of redneck cuisine, in the most proficient way he could. He had been away from his smoking mobile firepit for long enough; the heat was low but the lid was secured, meaning the tasty tidbits of meaty goodness were still roasting thoroughly and getting flavored through with homemade alcohol and aromatic wood. He returned to his duty here, hoping that his efforts would take his mind off of what was surely to follow. Smoke billowed from his massive cooking beast as he opened the lid. He turned over sausages and cuts of meat and provided appropriate seasoning. This is what he did for the community - local grillmaster - a thing to which he was surpassed only by his agricultural and hogging talents. There were flecks of meat and crisping fat that James pulled off of the hot grates and dropped into a small bucket. They would go a long way in seasoning the grits later. It was his first time catering a Post-Apocalyptic wedding. James wanted everything to come out perfect, no matter what other drama unfolded.

Second door. Towels are hanging."[/color] responded Ash, pointing toward the nearest bathroom. [color=steelblue]"We have plenty of fresh water here, but power is rationed. Take it easy on the hot water. I'll try and arrange a formal introduction for a half hour from now."[/color] Physically, this would be an easy thing to coordinate. General announcement, shift some personnel around temporarily, get the ones who had been there for longer than eight months in one place. Emotionally, mentally - problems may ensue. Well, nothing to do but jump in and get it over with. Gritting his teeth, Ash dialed up Newnan's general announcement frequency and began speaking. [color=steelblue]"This is Ash. Everyone is to stop what they're doing and listen to me carefully. I repeat, stop what you are doing, listen to me carefully. This is exchange will be a little non-standard."[/color] He waited a few seconds before continuing, giving people a chance to put down tools and crowd around available radio receivers. [color=steelblue]"Lyon: get your personnel from Watchtower to relieve present sentries along the wall and around town. You relieve Jim at the Main Gate. Bear in mind that this is temporary. Security: When you are relieved, immediately locate anyone in your vicinity without radio access, direct them accordingly. Domestic: Assist with this wherever possible."[/color] [color=steelblue]"I need everyone who has been a member of our community for over eight months to gather in front of my house. I will address you in one half hour. To clarify, no one is in trouble. There is no emergency. But whomever is not in attendance in the next half hour needs a good explanation or will be met with disciplinary action. Jack Hudson and Tatiana Korvo may ignore this order. They have a wedding to prepare for. Everyone else, thirty minutes."[/color]
