The inside of the hangar was bedlam as the survivors ran around making sure there was no way for the crazies to get in. The building’s skylights didn’t let in enough light. It only took a few minutes for someone to trip and hurt themselves in the gloom.

“Great job,” Andrew said, clapping Chris on the shoulder.

“Thanks,” Chris said and grinned. “You have a plan bringing us in here?”

“We’re out of the fallout…”

Chris looked concerned. “So that was a nuclear bomb that destroyed Monterrey?”

“The biggest FAE wouldn’t do a tenth of that,” Andrew told him, then saw his look of confusion. “Fuel air explosive. It’s sort of a poor man’s nuke, without the radiation.” Chris nodded. “I can only assume they did it to stop this pandemic.”

“You mean the zombie apocalypse,” someone said. Andrew turned and saw a young, twenty-something male in cargo jeans and a Portal shirt. “Well, technically a nombie apocalypse.”

“Those aren’t zombies,” Andrew said. “They were passengers on my plane. Some of them got sick during the flight, then a bunch went nuts and started trying to eat everyone else.” The man nodded and gave him an, “Isn’t that what I just said?” look. Andrew narrowed his eyes. He didn’t like this guy one bit. “What’s your name?”

“Wade Watts,” the young man said.

“Look, Wade, this disease isn’t like that. They aren’t zombies; you can shoot them, and they die. And what the fuck is a nombie?”

“That’s why I said nombie apocalypse. Nombies aren’t dead, zombies are.” Chris, who was standing a bit behind Wade, gave Andrew a “What the fuck?” look. Andrew rolled his eyes.

“Did you have a plan when we almost got our asses eaten to get in here?” Chris asked Andrew. They were trying to ignore Wade, who had begun explaining the difference between nombies and zombies to a couple of shell-shocked women who looked like twins.

“That,” Andrew said, and pointed to the dominant object in the hangar.

“Are you kidding? What are we going to do with that thing? I mean, we don’t know the first…” Chris trailed off as he saw the black, embroidered wings stitched above the left breast on Andrew’s multi-pocketed flight suit. “Oh.” Andrew winked. “You’ve flown one of those?”

“Not exactly,” Andrew admitted, and looked up at the craft.

“What did you fly?”

“Fighters.”

“Seems a tad bit different.”

“I landed that A380 out there,” Andrew told him.

“The one on the end of the runway?” Chris asked. Andrew nodded. “We saw it when our pilot set down. It looked like you skidded off the end of the runway and almost flipped.”

Andrew grunted. “There were…extenuating circumstances.”

“Whatever,” Chris said. “It looked pretty screwed up to me.”

Andrew made a face, walked over to the office, and found the file for the plane. Chris tagged along as Andrew began the ground check. Andrew was surprised to see it was a U.S. Air Force plane, and as he came around the left side, he stopped in complete surprise. “Holy shit!” he yelped, and jumped into the air. “I don’t
