The American Revolution, Redux


Author Herbert C. Reed

The characters and events in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author.

General Tommy Jefferson and the Lexington Militia knew the time was near and they had to finalize their plan to protect their families and community from the rumors of the looming danger that had been in the air for about ten months. 

What was strange about this particular meeting, and the Militia group couldn’t understand it, was that some of the men who were always there with great ideas were unable to attend this priority one meeting.

Jefferson pondered looking for some kind of clue, as he scratched his speckled gray hair, What’s so important that Corporal John Addison, Sergeant First Class Al Bixby, and Senior Master Sergeant Robert Molten couldn’t be at this meeting?   

When the gun fire was heard, it became obvious as to why these men were so supportive and gave such great input.

They were the enemy insiders setting up the Militia group in order to kill their women and children, so that no one would able to resist and defend what was left, because they’d be too distraught.

At that moment the on duty Militia Security Unit uncovered a security breach and the Red Alert rang out with a boisterous sound that almost caused hesitancy and disbelief.

The Lexington Militia had trained so hard and so many times for this event that when the alarm sounded, it caught them off guard.

The insiders led each of their teams of armed NATO intruders into the homes of the Militia members as their beloved wives and children were enjoying an afternoon that Sunday, where they opened fire and begin in killing everyone.

Militia lieutenant, James Thomas also known as JT – all the militia members used their initials as secret names – jumped to his feet, his strapping body quivering from the shock of the boisterous sound, cried out, “To the munitions lockers, NOW.”  
   
Gunnery Sergeant, Jason Baxter, had his keys out and running full speed down the crowded narrow hallway towards the munitions lockers. There's no time to waste, we’re in Red Alert. Go, go, go, go! rushed through his mind. His hands quivering. The keys jingling nervously. "Where's that damn master key?"
