Jim said, arguing with DJ and JD after lunch. “Cars aren’t big enough to conduct the energy. Not unless they’re electrics that are plugged in to the power grid when it goes off.” “Then what do you call that thing, whatever-it-was that took everything out?” JD countered. “What else could zap every car, every cell tower, every backup generator at once?” Jim just shook his head. “Seems like whoever it was that triggered it knew what they were doing,” DJ said. “Knew something the government didn’t about how to maximize an EMP’s impact on all targets.” “We may never know,” Jim admitted. DJ held up a finger. “Actually, I intend to find out. I may be a gimp at the moment, but there’s one thing I can still do just fine, and that’s gather intel. Somebody in this country knows what happened and who was behind it. Once you get the ham radio up and running, I’m going to start putting out feelers.”
