“Right now, I am sure Mr. LeDayer is wondering what happened to his hundred or so captives that were at the ranch.  He is probably trying to decide how they got away and what they are doing,” said Margaret.

 “So I think it’s important we contact him soon before he brings the Islotopa army over here to fight his wars for him,” said Tanya.

 “I say kill them all,” One of H.M.’s people said from the back.  He stood up and was wearing a uniform.  “I am General George Kratton and I don’t believe we can get these kinds of people to listen to us or change their mind.  They are guilty of forcibly taking me and the entire leaders of our administration and putting us in a prison, where they fed us only bread and water.”

 “We had done them no harm,” he continued.  “They are also guilty of murder.  People in Islotopa were murdered because they didn’t go along with the government.  We don’t need to take them before a judge and jury.  They are guilty.  The only way we will have peace is to wipe them from the face of Playit.”

 “Okay,” said Jake.  “Our backup plan is to use force to wipe them out if necessary.  We will try to get them to surrender so they can be tried by our court justice system and if they refuse they will die on the spot.”

 “That sounds pretty gruesome, but I guess that’s what’s been said,” I exclaimed.

 Jake took control again.  I could see why his Granddad had left him the ranch.
