A temporary reprieve: that is what Cooper’s self-sacrifice had earned the six that had made it to the roof. Captain Arn and her team heard Cooper’s single pistol shot and they surmised he had taken his life rather than be eaten alive. Arm knew that once the ravenous undead creatures were done consuming their fallen companion, they would turn their attention back to them. She also knew that the door to the roof would not hold the tide of zombies back for long.

The extract helo was late, which for them had been a good thing. It had taken Arn’s team longer to get to the roof than anticipated. However, Arn also knew a delayed extract could mean the helo was in trouble or not coming at all.

“Valkyrie One-Nine, Valkyrie One-Nine this is Wolfhound Zero-Zero. How copy? Over,” Arn radioed to the helicopter from the 3rd General Support Battalion, 10th Aviation Regiment that was supposed to be coming to extract them. There was no response. She heard some radio chatter stating to rotate right, and then hold. She radioed again. “Valkyrie One-Nine, Valkyrie One-Nine this is Wolfhound Zero-Zero. Do you copy? Over.”

“Wolfhound Zero-Zero, standby this frequency,” the responding voice instructed over the sound of machine gunfire.

As Arn patiently waited, she could hear the guttural noises from the throngs of the living dead at street level. If they could not be extracted from the armory’s roof, they were going to have to make their escape from the adjoining building to their northwest. However, they had limited ammunition and she had no idea if that building had been compromised. The situation was dire.

“Wolfhound Zero-Zero,” a voice arose over her radio. “Contact Zero-Six Stewart on Five-Nine-Decimal-Nine-Five-Zero in the red. Read back for check. Over.”

Arn had been given Valkyrie One-Nine’s radio frequency from Commander Travis, which had come from the air mission commander at Steward. Now she was being instructed to contact the air mission commander directly on a different unencrypted channel. She knew something was wrong if she was being instructed to contact Stewart directly, but she had no idea how bad the situation was at FOB MEDCOM.

“Valkyrie One-Nine this is Wolfhound Zero-Zero,” Arn responded. “I read back: Contact Zero-Six Stewart on Five-Nine-Decimal-Nine-Five-Zero in the red. Over.”

“Wolfhound Zero-Zero this is Valkyrie One-Nine. Correct. Out.”
