Re: Mike and Sam
"Good, most people should be missed," Mike nodded. He thought there were some people who deserved not to be missed, but Abby certainly wasn't one of them. Those who did deserve it were very rare.
"Yes, me and John," he returned Sam's smile. "He's certainly seen more than just about any other person his age that I've known. He also lost his mother. I don't know if it was recent or ancient history." Mike felt it was worth passing that on. He didn't qualify any of it. And it was possible Sam already knew. "I'll put the specs together. We're still working out the detonation mechanism. Short-wave radio is the simplest, but it requires that we know when they are within range. Motion sensors are good but carry logistical problems. We'll get it done." He emphasized the word we to be sure that Sam understood Mike was taking a team approach to this.
