About three days later, David and Brie brought the quads and Natalie home. First, Natalie was wheeled into the house in a wheelchair, then David and Brie walked in with their four bundles of joy. Every eye in the house grew wide. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Dan said.
"Am I seeing things?" John asked.
"I count four. Please tell me I'm miscounting." This from Mike.
Natalie was taken to her room and David and Brie sat in the living room with the quads. Malachai stood on the floor next to his Dad's leg and looked at the baby girl in his left arm. "Is that one of my new baby sisters, Dad?"
"Sure is, son. This is Makayla. And in my other arm is one of your new baby brothers. This is Jeremiah."
"How do we have two new baby brothers AND two new baby sisters? Jacob, now four, asked.
"That's easy, Jake", said his twin sister Jordan. "Ms. Natalie OBVIOUSLY had two more sets of US, DORK."
"Jordan Hanna, be nice", Brie said.
"Yes, ma'am."

He was on top of a building about 1200 yards away from the White House. His scope was set, his rifle loaded. All he'd need was one shot, and for that, he'd need an opening. The perfect window to squeeze the trigger would present itself. He knew, and when it did, Gentry would die. After Gentry hit the ground, his men would move in on the White House and the staff would all die. This would be the blow to bring the Utopians to their knees.
President Gentry walked into the Oval Office alone. This was the moment he had been waiting for. His target put himself in the chair behind the big desk and turned to face the window. The shooter lined up his shot, putting his cross hairs right across the man's forehead. With a gentle squeeze, the shot fired silently and "Mr. President"'s head slumped against the back of the large leather chair. "Hit the House, go, go, go", he whispered into the mic at his throat and the White House lawn flooded with the uniforms of the Resistance Army and after packing up his rifle, the Master Sergeant walked off as a National Monument exploded behind him.
