It would be a firefight, if we tried to get out through that way and I wasn’t going to risk Deshavi like that. That meant that Plan B was in effect. I un-slung my heavy pack and unsnapped the grapple gun from it. I looked upwards to judge the height of the high wall. I placed it at about 60 feet high and I had 80 feet of rope to go with the grappling hook.

The hook would overshoot the edge by 10 feet or so leaving me with 5 to 10 feet of extra rope. It was enough, but way too close for comfort. One of us would have to climb up the rope and then secure it better. Then pull up Deshavi and toss the rope down to the remaining individual. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would work. I set the grapple gun firmly against the pit floor bottom and angled it upward.

Alarms rang out into the night echoing a dirge that I’d been expecting long before now. The entire pit lit up like a baseball park. They had work light display carriages parked intermittently all along the rim of the pit. The light shined down on us with a brilliant intensity.

We were sharply outlined against the dark rock; it would only be a matter of seconds before they spotted us. There was no time for all of us to climb up the rope, maybe not even enough time for any of us. We would have to fight our way out unless…..

I glanced up at a slight projection from the high wall above, where a steel pole stuck out at an angle. It had some kind of communication display on top of it. Slightly further along the edge was one of the light display carts, which looked relatively heavy.

“Come on!” I called to Trent, as I rushed across the pit to the side that had the steel pole.

He followed at a run. Each of our packs and assorted gear were pushing 100 pounds and he was caring Deshavi too, but as it was he still beat me to the other side. I jammed the grapple gun down and took aim and shot it off. The grapple hook sailed up into the air and over the bent over steel pole to land, with a crash of broken glass, onto the light display cart.

I’d scored a direct hit!

I tugged on the rope, but it was secure. Adrenaline pumping through my veins I quickly secured Trent to the left over line of rope. He stared at me his face tight with anxiety for the woman he held safe within his arms. He gave me a look of surprise, as I unclipped the explosive round grenade gun from his pack. His eyes drifted upward.

“You’re crazy!” He boomed out in exclamation.

Maybe so, but it was the best idea I could come up with at the time. I brought the short gun up and fired. The explosive shell crashed into the bank of the edge of the pit right beneath the light cart poised on the edge above.
