There was little left of the Earth Mother
Temple. The site was eerily quite. Wisps of
smoke danced around the small clearing in the
pine trees. In the center of the clearing was a
smoldering pile of ash and wood. It appeared to
have once been a log cabin.

Wolf stood with arms crossed in front of the
pile staring at silently. The other members of
the Wolf Pack fanned out and began searching the
area. I did likewise, though, in truth, I had
no idea what I was looking for. There appeared
to be no people other than us, alive or dead.

“Here,” I heard Jefferson say.

I turned around and saw him approaching Wolf
with something in his hands. We all gathered
around. It was a cap, like the kind baseball
players wear, but the symbol on it was of no
team I’d ever heard of. It was a red rectangle.
