The Federal and Commonwealth law enforcement officers left Lexington, Virginia in flames behind them, and began their long trek back out of the Shenandoah Valley with the mayor and his family in custody. Unfortunately for them, footage of the Lexington Day Massacre had leaked out through the jamming, and the other Virginians out there were not happy with them. What followed was fifty miles of pure hell. Random car wrecks and tree-falls slowed them, and hillbilly hunters took potshots from what seemed like every tree and hill. Sometimes far more powerful sniper rifles would blow clear through their armored vehicles, and anything that happened to be in the path of fire inside. A relief column from Richmond linked up with the dispirited and bleeding convoy, but the random sniper fire continued. Then the Virginia Defense Force arrived to clarify the situation.
