Book 5: Chapter 12 Found and Losing

After the capture of Quinn's men, a military truck is found, its back full of corn. While everyone sees it as a windfall, Martin insists that it be returned to Clyde, the rightful owner. Clyde is cantankerous toward Martin, but accepts the return nonetheless. Once home, Martin discovers that his wife Margaret has fallen ill. She has a severe infection from the cut she suffered during the dairy raid. What antibiotics her caregivers could scrounge up have failed to stop the infection. Connie, the nurse, has little hope but does cite one long shot cure using three different antibiotics. Martin grasps at the straw.
