Note & Hint:
 
Those in the 4th town worship technology. That's a given. They maybe linked to the Broere and the Order of Fire, but that has yet to be proven. All we know for now is that "they are men in white coats and dark glasses that worship technology." Now, what kind of technology do they have?
 
BUT the second town is tied to Hubbalism; who are a group of Amish and Mennonite who joined together to deal with The Happening and After Chaos. The Amish are Anti-technology, while the Mennonite are willing to use technology if it proves to be helpful and non-polluting. Though they had mixed their populations, they are with their differences. Amish will wear drab/plain clothing, while Mennonite will have bright colors in theirs though the style of clothing for both are the same.

In Hondo's camper, Fernando studies the maps he has, seeing the caravan trail ending at a town 350 miles away. Notes on the Caravan Map says that another caravan goes to it from the south bu except for that footnote, little is know about the town or the second caravan. Not even a schedule of dates and time. Smaller settlements branch out from it but that is true for most large towns.
 
He should be resting but he is not as there is too much to do.
 
There is a knock on Hondo's camper door. Everyone look at each other for a moment as it is not a knock familiar to them. Who ever it is, they knock on the door again.
 
Hondo walks up to the door with his hand on this holstered weapon and opens it, "Who are you?"
 
Its the miner couple Jason and Wilma, who Fernando met the night before and continue to run into during the course of the day. They look up at him with Jason responding, "Howdy neighbor, everythin' turin' out fine for ya's?"
 
"What's up? What do you need?" Hondo gets to his point.
 
Before Jason could speak, Wilma steps in (verbally), "We were told to ask around to find Fernando and his group of Anti-slavers, we be looking for for some lost relatives who were caught up and sold years back."
 
Fernando gets up, nudging Hondo at his side, "Come one Harold. Lets step outside."
 
Hondo looks confused for a moment, and the nods as Fernando steps out. 'Harold' is a codename they had not used in a long time when Fernando does not want others to know who either one of them is, creating a false one. Once he steps outside 'Harold' closes the camper door behind him.
 
Fernando looks at them, "I doubt they can help you. I think they had already left."
 
"The baker told us that they are still in town." Jason says to him.
 
"Well, I don't know where they could be. Not that I care, I got my own business to take care off." Fernando tells him.
 
"That Wessen told us you are them and were here. We'll make it worth your to help us." Jason tells Fernando.
 
"Harold..." Fernando turns to Hondo.
 
"I'll talk to that goat face later." Hondo tells him.
 
"Name your price." Jason puts out, with Wilima adding, "We got gold, silvah, coppah, steel..." She hesitates for a moment as she sees Fernando is not budging interest of any of the items, and changes the direction of her price guide, "entertainment, dancing girls, fem-boys, sex..."
 
Fernando crosses this arms, "What ever deal you could have had, you just lost it."  
 
"You's no better than the Slavers." Hondo throws at them.
 
"No... You misunderstand." Jason says.
 
"Anybody selling the services of the use of somebody else is a slaver." Fernando tells him.
 
The couple looks a each other before Wilma tries to correct herself, "We not only mine, but we rescue people too. If they are lost in the mountains or found in a whorehouse, we try to help them out. If they stay with us they must earn their keep, but most of them don't know anything but selling their sex for what they need."
 
Fernando was still unimpressed with what he heard, though Jason continues, "Wilma an' I come to town to buy food and supplies for us all. Her sisters Karol and Roze watch over them in a big hauling truck and double height trailer that folds up when we travel and opens up into a small house with cots, bathroom, kitchen, generator and heater to feed and house over 50 though all of us together it about 25."

"We're also having some engine trouble with it as well, may have gotten some bad fuel." Wilma says.
 
"If we had a house, it would be easier to deal with these people we rescue." Jason says.
 
"Any other rescuers like you out there?" Hondo asks.
 
"Used to be lots of us but many of us have been killed, and others taken away as slaves. Our relatives were part of our group before they were taken away as slaves." Jason says.
 
[To be continued]

"Well, the truck is hidden about 20 miles north of here." Wilma says.
 
"Now wait a minute! No one is going anywhere until we decide what to do next." Fernando tells them.
 
"Ifin your relatives were taken as slaves years ago, there is nothin' we can do." Hondo puts in his thoughts.
 
"If it is years ago, they are long since gone." Fernando begins, "Who knows where they were taken and how far away? They might not even be a live right now. And if you leave, Moro,who's vehicle are you taking?"
 

"Do you want to waste time to look for lost relatives?" Fernando asks, adding, "That would delay any trip we have tonight, and who knows where they may be at, I doubt it is near by. The Anti-Slavers treaty was signed by settlement and town leaders as far as 400 miles away, and more signatures are being added to it as we speak. So where can they be? They could be 1000 miles away and we would never reach them, we still need to find Gabrielle. Unless you have an exact location, it is not possible. If you knew where they are, you want to take a detour and find them?"
 
"As for the truck, gettin' there and comin' back with it would take an hour. Fixin' it could take 5 minutes if its bad fuel, or it could take hours if the injectors and fuel filters are clogged and that is if we got parts. And who's ride we be taking to get there?" Hondo points out.
 
"They can take my ride to get there and fix their truck. Now, who's driving? I need to stay behind and set up the camper while my truck is gone." Karl steps in and throws his hat in the ring.
 
Fernando growls under his breathe. "Alright, you're staying o watch the camp then, including their camper. Who ever is going - Channel 32 on on the radio. Tell us what is going on when you get there."
 
"Aint you goin'?" Hondo asks.
 
"You want to go?" Fernando asks.
 
"If it's helpin' people, we help." Hondo says.
 
"Six people then. Wilma, Jason, Hondo, I and two others. Tools, guns and large jug of fuel. Who else is volunteering?" Fernando says in an annoyed tone.
 
"Jason, go get some food stuff. They should be running low by now." Wilma tells her husband.

"Photographs in this time and age would be expensive. But they are not the only visual reference one has to go on, I have seen artists selling portraits they had drawn, which be a lot cheaper than a camera picture but not as accurate. Furthermore, it would be more important to know when, where and by whom they were kidnapped by. There should be records of them being processed and sold to somebody, at least initially. After that, who knows." Fernando explains.
 
"We have all that information in our daily write downs at the truck, starting from 5 years ago." Wilma says.
 
"Five years is a long time." Fernando says.
 
"They may have been killed in this recent purge." Hondo points out.
 
"Who knows." Fernando lets out, "So where is this truck?"
 
"20 miles back on the highway from the last town." Wilma says as Ruth and Joanna step out of their camper to see what is going on.
 
"Where the Mooks are by Mister Jamerson's Giant Mutant Chicken Farm?" Fernando asks.
 
"Well, lets see..." Wilma begins, "Going there, yeah, just before his farm as we managed to pass it before we could not continue further."
 
"Let see..." Fernando says as he walks to Karl's truck, opening the driver's door, reaching and turning on the CB Radio. As the others gather around him, he flicks the dial to Channel 14 and picks up the microphone, "This is the Medic calling for Dirty Leon. Dirty Leon, are you out there?"
 
For a moment there was nothing but silent static on the air, Fernando was wondering if he was even getting out far enough to reach him.
 
He tries again, "This is the Medic calling for Dirty Leon. Dirty Leon, are you out there?"
 
More silent static until somebody answers, "Dirty Leon ain't around. Who you be and what you want?"
 
"I'm the medic, who helped Dirty Leon with a road wreck days ago. I need a bit of help if he can do it." Fernando says.
 
"You's the one driving that white medi transport?" The voice on the radio answers.
 
"There's more than one, but I'm one of them." Fernando answers.
 
"You wear a black jacket, black hat and black glasses?" The voice on the radio answers.
 
"That would be me. Tell him thanks for letting us go see Doc Brown for his medicine. The girls are doing better." Fernando explains.
 
"So it is you... what can we do you for?" The voice on the radio says and asks.
 
"Well, who am I'm talking too?" Fernando asks.
 
"This is Serious-Sam. You saved my cuz - Mad MoonDog Madison's life from that wreck." The voice on the radio says, "I control this part of the road. So what do you need?"
 
"I see." Fernando answers before he continues, "There's a large trailer dead on the road with people in it. I want to know if they are still there and OK?"
 
"If you talking about those Anti-Slaver Rescuers? Yeah, last patrol says they are still there." Sam answers, asking, "What do you want with them crazies? They tend to keep to themselves."
 
"They are broken down and can not move, so we will be going there and rescue them. I got their leader with me." Fernando answers.
 
"Ha ha! If that don't beat all... the rescuers needing to be rescued. I'll have a patrol go by and tell them help is on the way." Sam replies.
 
"Thank you." Fernando replies. He hangs up the microphone and turns the dial to Channel 32.
 
Jason closes the rear door of Karl's truck after putting in as much food as he can put in. His 'wife' Wilma walks up to him, "You stay here and pack up the truck. We might be going after all."
 
"Lets hope so..." Jason says.
 
"I'm not going to put stress on anybody but we need several things done first." Fernando says to those around him as he walks to the rear of Karl's truck, "We got 1 minute before we go. We need food ready for tonight's run, make sure all your rides got water and fuel, and check your tires and lights. Those making food will be helping Ms Val. in her camper. If we need more meat, bread, what ever, find out what we need and go get it now. I do not want anybody sitting around doing nothing, you all got a job to do so go do it - You are all to help each other including Wilma and Jason. Now go! I'm leaving in one minute whether you are ready to go or not. And everything better be ready to go when I come back."
 
Fernando unlatches the safety latch from the tow C-Clamp and lifts Karl's trailer off the tow ball-hitch and rolls is back a couple of inches before setting it down.
