The Widow in the Woods: Part 2

If you missed the first part of The Widow in the Woods‚ you can find it here. “Come in‚” said Grace. “I have medical training. I can help your friend.” “He’s my baby brother. I’m Christopher‚” the tall‚ dark-haired man said with a beautiful‚ warm smile. “I’d be very grateful for your help. Family means everything to me.” Grace wasn’t fooled by his charm and good looks. There were some people who just emanated evil. Even if she hadn’t seen the cruelty within him‚ she would have known by how the pale girl became even paler. Grace had never had a daughter‚ only sons‚ who she assumed were long lost to the event that had changed the world‚ but she could see that horrible damage had been inflicted on this child by the man who casually showed his ownership with the arm over her shoulders. She turned and opened the screen door‚ allowing the invaders into her home. “Will you walk into my parlor?” she quoted the old poem‚ hoping that the girl was a reader. Someone was going to be the spider‚ and someone was going to be the fly. Who was who would soon be determined. A man and woman joined them. The man was a slightly less handsome version of Christopher‚ and the woman was a gorgeous redhead. “This is my brother Luke and his girlfriend Beth‚” Christopher introduced them politely. He said all the right words‚ had all the right facial expressions and intonations‚ but Grace’s sharp instincts prevented her from being taken in. He was a wolf in an incredibly handsome sheep costume‚ and she knew it. As they helped the wounded man up the steps‚ Grace opened her hall closet and pulled out a plastic sheet. She rapidly spread it across the daybed in her front room and gestured for them to put him there. Grace returned to the closet and grabbed her worn leather medical bag. She hadn’t used it much recently‚ but the tools within felt as familiar to her hands as her garden tools did. She had delivered many babies‚ both the human type and fur-covered livestock‚ using the tools in that bag‚ and she had also performed a number of other procedures. She showed the men her scissors before cutting off the wounded man’s shirt. He was barely conscious. “What’s your name‚ young man?” she asked‚ peering at the bullet hole in his upper abdomen. “Rick Hill‚” he gasped‚ groaning in pain. “Well‚ Rick Hill‚ I’m going to have to get this bullet out of you‚ but you’re going to be okay‚” Grace informed him briskly. She turned to the others. “I have to go out to my greenhouse and get some supplies.” “What kind of supplies?” demanded Beth suspiciously. “Some herbs to help his pain and some to prevent infection.” “Go with her‚ Jon‚” Christopher ordered.  The youngest man of the group stood up and joined Grace. Wordlessly‚ she picked up a flashlight and went out the back door. She strode across the brick pavers to the little greenhouse where she grew medicinal herbs year-round and concocted her mixtures. The greenhouse was complete with a tiny‚ efficient woodstove where she could boil water‚ melt beeswax‚ and sterilize supplies. Grace didn’t just make medicines here‚ however. This greenhouse was also her workshop. She had spent many hours there‚ dipping candles‚ slicing into cured homemade soap to turn it into bars‚  creating remedies‚ and concocting mixtures that made her garden thrive and pests flee. Even with the gun in her pocket‚ Grace knew she didn’t dare risk using it right away. No‚ she’d have to handle this slowly and meticulously‚ one by one. She might not be able to fight them and win in hand-to-hand combat‚ but she knew that in a battle of wits‚ she was far better armed than this evil group of people. Her husband had taught her that strategy was just as deadly a weapon as any firearm‚ given enough time to enact it. As Jon watched her carefully‚ she picked up a mason jar filled with a light brown liquid and labeled “garden tea” and a vial on which she had handwritten “laudanum.”  Her laudanum was made from the opium poppies she’d grown from seeds her husband had brought to her when he returned from Vietnam. She had a thriving patch of poppies that burst into red flame every year. She added some cinnamon and cloves she had stored and some saffron threads from her patch of purple flowers‚ mashed it all up‚ and soaked it in alcohol. Then she decanted the mixture into vials each year for the treatment of pain or relentless diarrhea. Her mission complete‚ she nodded to her escort‚ and they returned to the house. Grace went straight to the kitchen next‚ where she set a kettle on the woodstove and took crisp‚ clean towels from the drawer. She got a bowl and mixed a few spoons full of the laudanum with honey from her hives. It would still taste awful – that was the nature of laudanum – but it would help to relieve the pain. She added mint to two shiny silver-colored tea balls and poured the boiling water over them into two lovely china mugs embellished with delicate‚ hand-painted yellow flowers. She dribbled in some honey and left them on the counter to steep. Next‚ she took the jar of dried parsley from her garden and stirred a handful into the jar marked “garden tea.” Garden tea was her homemade fertilizer that she created when cleaning up after her hens. While the manure was too hot to put on her garden immediately‚ she could add some of it to water‚ let it sit for a while‚ then strain it out. She put the manure she strained out on her compost pile‚ and the strained liquid made an incredibly fertile addition to her tomato bed. It would also serve to infect a wound she was claiming to treat. One by one. The parsley would help clot the blood and mask the smell of the tea somewhat‚ although with the solids drained out‚ the smell wasn’t terribly strong and certainly wasn’t obvious. She added some cheesecloth‚ a wooden spoon‚ and a basin to her pile and carried the kettle as she returned to her patient. She sat everything down on a marble-topped table beside the day bed. “Okay‚ Rick‚ I’m going to give you something for the pain‚” she announced. “Wait‚” interrupted Beth. “How do we know you aren’t poisoning him?” “Well‚ I suppose you don’t. But I can give some to the young girl‚ too‚ as it appears she must have fallen into something and hurt her jaw‚” Grace smiled. It was a false smile that didn’t really reach her eyes. Yeah‚ the girl had fallen into someone’s fist. “You can watch her and then decide.” Christopher nodded. “Give Lexie the drug first.” Grace wiggled her finger to summon the girl to her. Lexie was a pale‚ pretty‚ haunted child.  “I must warn you‚ dear‚ this tastes terrible. But it will help your jaw.” It would also help her to sleep deeply and keep her away from the odious man in charge‚ at least for one night‚ Grace thought with satisfaction. Lexie nodded and held the spoon while Grace poured the mixture of honey and laudanum into it. “I know it’s bitter‚ but try to hold it under your tongue. It will work faster‚ and I have peppermint tea brewing to take the taste out of your mouth.” Lexie made a face at the horrible flavor of the laudanum. There wasn’t enough honey in the world to make it palatable. But she didn’t say a word‚ and she obediently held it under her tongue as Grace had directed. The room was quiet as everyone watched Lexie. When she finally swallowed the laudanum‚ Grace said‚ “Now go get yourself a mug of tea from the kitchen and bring in the other one for Rick.” Lexie disappeared into the kitchen to do as Grace had instructed. When she returned‚ she curled up in a big chair on the other side of the room. She sipped her tea and pulled a soft‚ fuzzy blanket knitted with yarn containing all the green shades of the forest off the back of the chair to cover up. She was still damp from the rain‚ but she felt cozy and comfortable for the first time since she had been in Hell. Rick moaned in pain. “Go ahead‚” Christopher ordered. “Give him the medicine.” “Don’t spit this out. I have to remove the bullet‚ and this will help you withstand the pain‚” Grace told him firmly. He nodded‚ and she spooned the bitter liquid into his mouth. He coughed a little but held it under his tongue. Grace spoon-fed him a few sips from the mug of tea to cleanse his mouth of the dreadful taste. She sat down in a chair beside him and picked up her needlepoint‚ put on her reading glasses‚ and began to stitch. “What the hell are you doing?” barked Luke. Grace peered sternly over her glasses‚ giving not an inch. “I’m giving the medicine time to work unless you’d prefer that I go digging for that bullet without pain relief.” Luke subsided sullenly and disappeared from the room. Grace heard noises from her kitchen that sounded like Luke was helping himself to a snack. Beth left the room to join him‚ and soon‚ the room was filled with the smell of something delicious heating up on the stove. They’d found the chili she had pressure canned just last winter. Beth brought a bowl and spoon to Christopher. Lexie was sound asleep on the chair. Rick seemed to be getting some relief from the laudanum. It was time. “I’m going to need some help from you young men‚” Grace informed them. “I need you to hold your brother down while I get this bullet out. Jon and Luke took their stations at Rick’s shoulders and feet. Grace had seen bullet wounds before‚ and she was nearly certain this one hadn’t hit anything terribly important. But the bullet had to come out.  And even if the wound wasn’t lethal now‚ it would be by the time she was finished. She used the lit candle in the cozy little parlor to sterilize the long‚ stainless steel medical tweezers‚ then poured a little of the laudanum mixture over them to cool them down.  She lifted Rick’s shirt and nodded to Jon and Luke. “Don’t let him move or this will do more harm than good.” They pinned him down firmly. Grace placed the wooden spoon in between his teeth. She inserted the tweezers as gently as she could‚ feeling around with them to get a sense of the angle of the wound. She followed it carefully and felt it when the instrument touched the metal of the bullet. Rick was screaming around the spoon and would have been thrashing around if his brothers hadn’t been holding him so firmly. He went still as the pain became too much for him‚ and he lost consciousness. Victoriously‚ Grace pulled out the bullet and dropped it into the mug of tea with a plop. She covered the basin with the cheesecloth she had brought from the kitchen‚ then strained the garden tea and parsley liquid through it to get the particles out. She took a large syringe that looked suspiciously like a Thanksgiving turkey baster and began to irrigate the wound with the tainted liquid. After several minutes‚ the blood coming out of the wound ran pink. Grace topped the area with a bandage and added pressure. When it appeared that the bleeding had slowed‚ she taped the bandage into place. Grace returned to the kitchen and dumped the liquid from the basin down the drain into the septic system. She put the lid on the jar of garden tea tightly. She’d be using that daily to “clean” Rick’s wound. She washed her hands in the kitchen basin using her homemade soap and washed the dishes that Luke and Beth had left carelessly on the counter. She returned to the parlor‚ the perfect hostess. “Would you like me to show you to your beds?” It appeared that Beth and Luke had helped themselves to some of the laudanum in her absence. They were slurring their words when they talked‚ giggling softly and nodding off on the sofa. She led them upstairs and directed the couple to the upstairs guest room. Jon was given the pullout sofa in her sewing room. She gave Christopher the master bedroom. Grace had already pegged him as the type of person who wanted to be venerated and feared. It would work to her advantage if she treated him like the king he thought he was and bided her time. His arrogance‚ she mused‚ will give me the opening I need and be the end of him. She returned to the parlor and checked on her patient. Rick was asleep‚ pale‚ and still on the daybed. She touched his forehead‚ checking for fever. He was cool. For now‚ she thought. Then Grace turned to the big chair where the girl was curled up‚ sound asleep. She pulled the blanket up over Lexie’s slender shoulders. She gently smoothed the girl’s hair back from her face. She couldn’t do much for her‚ but at least she could spare her one night of abuse. Grace sunk down on the fluffy‚ overstuffed sofa and pulled over herself a heavy‚ handmade afghan dotted with crocheted roses. She never imagined she’d be able to sleep with everything that was going on‚ but somehow‚ she dropped off almost immediately.

Where to Buy $29* at Amazon *at time of reviewing DeWalt DXFRS800 Walkie Talkies Extreme ruggedness and durability designed for job sites work very well for survival situations. Where to Buy $149* at Amazon *at time of reviewing The Walkie-Talkies We Compared Our research narrowed the field down to the several walkie-talkie brands and types that we tested: Midland‚ Baofeng‚ DeWalt‚ Motorola‚ Retevis‚ Klein‚ Cobra‚ and more. There are a lot of brands that make walkie-talkies these days with a wide range of prices and quality/durability. In a survival situation‚ you want your communication solutions to be dependable‚ so we focused quite a bit on durability and reliability. You can see our full list of review criteria below in the What to Look For section‚ with an explanation for each. We steered clear of recreational or walkie-talkies aimed towards kids because the performance and the durability are not going to be where we need them. We also did not consider CB or HAM radios‚ sticking with just the non-programmable FRS type for the most part. That helped us trim out plenty of irrelevant brands and models so we could focus on just the top-performing walkie-talkies that could get you through any emergency. We’ve covered other radio types separately since they are important emergency communication tools in their own right. What to Look For Value Durability Range Battery Type‚ Battery Life Versatility The best walkie-talkies have several important features to look for. When you get the right blend of these‚ you can find a top-performing walkie-talkie that will keep you in touch with your crew in a stressful situation. Below‚ we break down what each of these features means for a truly dependable walkie-talkie: Value: Cost vs. Benefit The amount of money you spend on walkie-talkies shouldn’t blow out your budget unless you have special circumstances where separation in an emergency is very likely. Having one is better than having none‚ but the same applies to other gear and supplies you may need for an emergency. Budget according to your risk and your needs rather than just spending lavishly. On the flip side‚ you don’t want to go too cheap. Even the base model Baofeng didn’t perform that well with durability (that’s why we suggest the PLUS model as our budget pick)‚ and it’s not the cheapest you could find in a bargain bin. There are few things as soul-sucking as having gear fail on you in an emergency. You never want to spend too much money on one resource‚ especially something like walkie-talkies. It’s better to diversify your communication and preparedness gear to make sure you are covered for a wide range of scenarios. There is a sweet spot where you get high value out of the best features with not too high of a price‚ which is where our top pick sits. Durability Walkie-talkies take more of a beating than you might expect. In an emergency‚ you don’t want to worry about handling your gear and equipment with kids’ gloves to keep them from breaking‚ so durability is a high priority. A good survival walkie-talkie should take a beating and keep working. Solid ABS plastic casings are common‚ and rubberized cases end up being a great upgrade for durability. Range The range of a walkie-talkie is largely impacted by obstructions and terrain‚ and the output wattage. Most of the ones we tested had 2W or less RF output. Walkie-talkies have an exceptional range if you are transmitting from the top of the mountain down into a valley‚ but in typical conditions‚ they work in under a few miles. Battery Type‚ Battery Life Both conventional batteries and rechargeable batteries can be found in walkie-talkies. Using rechargeable conventional batteries can be a good idea‚ so you have a renewable method to power your walkie-talkie. You could also just stock up on batteries‚ depending on your power strategy for emergencies. Battery life is heavily impacted by how much you talk and receive transmissions. You want your walkie-talkie to last at least 12 hours so that you can use it on the go without interruption. Versatility Belt clips built into the housing‚ integrated flashlights‚ programmable features‚ built-in weather radio frequency buttons‚ and other features all add versatility to a walkie-talkie. While these are nice to have‚ the walkie-talkie’s main function and durability are more important. You will see many off-brand walkie-talkies including earpieces and other gadgets to make them look like a good value when their range and durability just don’t compare well. What Walkie-Talkie Does the US Military Use? Special Forces and other branches are still using the Harris Falcon III AN/PRC-152A in combat zones. There isn’t a need for civilians to get a hold of these‚ and buying one would set you back about $360 after shipping. Out of combat zones‚ they use fairly common Motorolas around bases and for exercise due to cost. It’s not uncommon to see Motorola charging racks in most military base buildings. How to Use a Walkie Talkie Using a walkie-talkie is pretty darn easy‚ which is one reason they are great for groups. You don’t need a course or license to use them by law (in contrast to amateur radios)‚ and you’ve probably used one at some point in your life. They are common in all sorts of settings‚ from work environments to recreational activities- and they just happen to be very useful during emergencies too. Understanding walkie-talkie limitations and some basic radio etiquette can help you out. Here are a few things to remember when using a walkie-talkie: You can’t speak and listen at the same time. Know what you’re going to say before you start talking. Don’t transmit sensitive information. Walkies are very easy to intercept transmissions if someone else is in range. Consider using call signs if there are multiple groups in your party and to be able to identify who is speaking. Use radio checks frequently to check if you are separating out of range. Some good walkie-talkie lingo you may want to use include: Affirmative – Long way to say ‘yes’ that is easier to understand Break – Interrupting for emergency message‚ repeat for effect Come In – Use with callsign to request to talk to a specific group Copy – Heard and understood Go Ahead – signal you are standing by for a message Negative – Long way to say ‘no’ that is easier to understand Out – End of conversation Over – End of message Radio Check – ask for a response if your group can hear your transmission Read Loud and Clear – response to radio check‚ also just “Loud and Clear” or “Lima Charlie” Repeat – Used when you are repeating a message on transmission Roger – message acknowledged Say Again – ask the last transmission to be repeated Stand By – you are busy and will respond momentarily Wilco – abbreviation for ‘will comply’ Using the military phonetic alphabet will also come in handy since it was developed to be better understood over radio transmission: The Military Phonetic Alphabet Guide. This British chap does a pretty good job of walking through the basics of using a walkie-talkie: Who Needs a Survival Walkie Talkie? Groups that are looking to stay in contact through an emergency often rely on walkie-talkies. First responders‚ emergency responders‚ and field operators all use walkie-talkies for basic communication. The lack of encryption capabilities on most civilian walkie-talkies does prevent the military from using them in theater‚ but as long as you are aware that other people can communicate on the open channels then you should be fine. A walkie-talkie isn’t the most versatile piece of communication equipment‚ but they are very nice to have if you are looking to keep your group/family coordinated when you are out of earshot of each other. You should consider adding walkie-talkies to these kits: Home Survival Kit Car Survival Kit Walkie-talkies are useful beyond emergencies too‚ of course. A solid survival walkie-talkie will easily be able to handle your road trip or an amusement park. How We Review Products: We research thoroughly before selecting the best products to review.
