"So, what exactly was going on out there this morning?" Jerry asked Nick, while they were tending to the crops again. "I tested out my thing, it worked, and it got your mom's attention," Nick replied, while picking orange, yellow, and red bell peppers off their stems. "Seems like you just can't get on her good side," Jerry said. Nick scoffed and continued to pick more peppers. They continued to tend to the crops until the sun began to go down once more. This time, they had fresh pepper slices with ranch along with cooked potatoes for dinner. Despite the more delicious and fresher dinner, no one was talkative.
Everyone finished, and went to bed as usual, except Nick. He was outside and looking up at the stars. Frustrated, he kicked some dirt, "dammit," Nick said. Suddenly, he heard vehicles driving nearby at high speeds. Confused, Nick remembered that Kasey mentioned the men that attacked her, 'it couldn't be them, could it?' He thought to himself, unsure about the current situation. It didn't help when trucks with welded pieces of armor and spikes pulled into the farm. "Shit," Nick said, thinking shit was about to go down. He quickly went back inside the house to look for his weapon in the dark. "Nick, what's going on?" Jerry grumbled. "I'm not sure, but there's people who don't look so friendly outside," Nick replied, as he found the weapon. He powered it on, static lifted his hair, he dialed the static down again, and carefully went to a window to see the trucks outside.
Men were exiting the armored trucks with guns in their hands. "Wake everyone up and get the guns," Nick ordered Jerry. He nodded and went upstairs to wake everyone else up in the house. shortly after going upstairs, one of the men outside shot a bullet into the sky, "I know you're in there missy, come out!" He shouted, shooting off another round into the sky. Now it was clear to Nick that this group of men where looking for Kasey. He quietly ducked below the window and crawled to the door and lock it. Unfortunately, one of the men reached the door before Nick could and spotted him, "what the-", the man began to say, before getting shocked by Nick, who shot a bolt of static electricity at him without any hesitation. As the man fell, Nick pushed him out of the doorway, quickly closed the door, locked it, and backed away. Bullets shortly started to blast through the door, fortunately, Nick managed to get out of the way of the flying projectiles.
Jerry, along with Kasey and Donald quickly came downstairs with guns. "Take cover!" Nick warned, as bullets continued to spray throughout the house. They all cautiously went to the dining room and flipped the table over to hide behind it. "What's going on!?" Donald said, as his house was being filled with bullet holes. "It's the men that were after Kasey!" Nick responded. Kasey was shocked and terrified, "I'm so sorry, we thought you finished them all!" Nick told her. "What exactly is the plan here?" Jerry asked, gripping his pistol. The spray of bullets started to stop. Nick could hear multiple footsteps coming towards the front door, "Okay, I'll shock them, and you guys shoot," he said, while turning the dial to increase his static. Everyone nodded in agreement, as the doorknob to the front door started to turn.
