It was several days before they actually got back to Longmont. Mason’s group operated below the radar, and that meant they couldn’t just run around the area without careful planning and scouting first. It required a lot of coordination to mount a patrol without running into enemy troops, and they had to cancel and regroup several times.

Mason didn’t want to risk taking the chopper up in the air again so soon after their battle with Tamare’s men, and Carson agreed. Everyone in the area would be on alert to spot the aircraft, so when they decided to go airborne again a long patrol would be best, not a quick daytrip where they could be run to ground. When things finally things aligned, they organized a patrol to go to Longmont on foot, with two of Mason’s tech-heads team and several fighters. Dana and Khalil stayed behind with Mason, while Carson and Brunson accompanied the patrol to Longmont.

They left under cover of darkness, arriving at the facility near midnight. The place was still quiet, with no sign of intrusion or a return of Tamare’s troops. Carson and Brunson led the techies and two fighters into the facility while the rest took up positions outside.

“Careful down here,” Carson told the others as they descended the stairwell. “We found an explosive trap last time.”

“You didn’t mention that,” Tyler said, pausing on the stairs. “Maybe you should check it out while we wait.”

Carson ignored him and pushed forward to the bottom. He found the door shut and locked. He and Brunson looked at each other, senses alert.

“You came up after I did when we left this place,” Brunson said. “Did you lock it on your way out?”

“No,” Carson replied. “In fact, I stuck the wad of duct tape left from your disarmed trap in the doorjamb, to make sure it wouldn’t swing shut and lock us out.” He turned to the others behind them on the stairs. “Someone’s been here, and I lost my key months ago. We can’t get in.”

He leaped back and bumped into Brunson when a voice echoed out from the other side of the door. “Carson, is that you?”

It was a woman’s voice, muffled by the door, but it sounded familiar. “Who’s in there?” Carson asked, readying his weapon.

“An agent of Deep Thaw. Who are you?”

It was Scala. Carson breathed a sigh of relief while simultaneously grunting in shock and surprise. “It’s Carson, with a whole team of others. What are you doing in there, Agent Scala?”

“Am I okay to open the door, or do you have hostiles with you?”

“Open up. We came to see about the data drives in there.”

The door opened. Scala stood inside, alone. Her hair was longer now and she wore very weathered clothing. She had a shotgun ready, but when she saw Carson, she lowered it. “Carson! You nearly gave me a heart attack. I was preparing to defend this place to the death.”

He grinned, holding out a hand to shake hers. “Likewise. What on
