disclosed. "One of them, Plato, is our Leader."

The hefty youth's brown eyes narrowed. "You came all the way from
Nevada to see the Family and you don't know about the Elders?"

Giorgio resisted an impulse to smash Hefty in the chops. "I was told a
little about the Family. I know they live in a thirty-acre compound on the
outskirts of what was once Lake Bronson State Park. And I heard a lot
about the Warriors, the ones who defend the Home and protect the
Family. But I wasn't told about the Elders." He didn't add that his only
interest was in the Warriors; he couldn't care less about the damn Elders.

"The Spirit is smiling on you," the redhead said. "Blade is at the Home
right now. He's the head Warrior."

Giorgio nodded. "So I heard. The Warriors have quite a reputation."

Hefty grinned. "The Warriors are the best fighters in the world!
Nobody's been able to beat themтАФnot the Trolls, the Doktor, the Technics,
the Russians, nobody," he said proudly.

"Are you from the Home too?" Giorgio questioned.

"No," Hefty replied. "I live in Halma, about three miles or so to the
north. My people are called the Clan. We used to live in the Twin Cities,
but the Warriors saved us from the Watchers and helped us to relocate in
Halma. We wanted to live close to the Family."

"I'm the only one here from the Home," the redhead chimed in.

"How nice," Giorgio said politely. "How far is it to the Home from
here?"

"Three miles to Halma," the hefty youth calculated aloud, "and then
another mile to the cutoff. You take a right when you come to a dirt road.
It runs about five miles, right up to the Home. You can't miss it."

Giorgio grinned. The Home was nine or ten miles away, which meant
no one there would be able to hear the shots and none of the Warriors
could reach the scene before he was long gone. Halma was much closer,
but it didn't matter if any of the Clan heard the gunfire. "This is great
news," he said.

"My name is Mindy," the redhead offered. "My mother is a Warrior."

Giorgio did a double take. "She is?"

"Yes," Mindy stated.

"Why didn't you say so before?" Giorgio queried.
