Chapter 10 – Implants

The group walked towards the Clubhouse, as the Humvee drove past them, parking on the access road, pointing towards the gate.

“Looks like you want to make a quick getaway,” Jerry said to General Hogan. “Also looks like a civilian Humvee.”

Frank and Jane looked at each other.

“Let’s just say we don’t want to look like military if we have to leave. We’re covered, aren’t we?” the General said. “I can feel it.”

“Let’s just say we’ve learned to be cautious,” Jerry said.

“Yeah, I heard that Lieutenant James burned you guys pretty good. Go ahead and be cautious, just don’t shoot me for no reason.”

Suddenly Simon Orr tried to yell again, wheezing and croaking painfully. He sounded delirious. The General looked over towards the noise.

“That our friend?” he asked.

“Yeah, Simon Orr, and some young Islamist, maybe,” Frank said.

“What do you mean ‘maybe’?”

“He yelled that he killed the kid,” Jerry said. “Could just be a way to get a drop on whoever tries to open the door.”

“So he’s in that shed over there, eh. You have him tied up?” the General asked.

“We had zip ties on both of them,” Frank said. “Obviously if he really killed the Islamist, he’s gotten that off, but he’s not getting out of there. It’s cinder block with rebar, metal liner on the door, metal roof.”

“Lieutenant, go grab me a grenade,” he said. The Lieutenant trotted over to the Humvee and was back in a second. He handed it to the General.

“There a hole in that building that this will fit through?” he asked.

“Yeah, down at the bottom, where the hose is coming out,” Jerry said.

“Good,” he said, walking in that direction.

“You don’t want to question this guy?” Jane asked.

“No, I don’t,” the General said, “and I won’t take him back to base, either.”

They got close to the building. The General put his finger to his lips, telling everybody to be quiet. Then he got close to the Lieutenant and whispered.

“You go wiggle the lock on the door, as if we’re going to open it. Then I’ll toss the grenade in there. When I say go, get away fast.”

The Lieutenant nodded. He slipped over and started wiggling the lock. The General pulled the pin on the grenade, counted, and tossed it in.

“Go!” he yelled. They both dived away and the grenade went off. A puff of dust flew out of the vents under the eaves, and the door popped out against the hasp and hinges, but it held.

The two came walking back over to the group. “Damn fine building, there,” the General said, chuckling. “I expected it to shatter.”

“The usual, General?” the Lieutenant asked.

“Yes,” he said. He turned to the group. “Who has keys for that building?”

“Gabe, the owner of the park,” Frank said. “He’s in the clubhouse.”

The General looked at the Lieutenant and nodded. Then he turned back to Frank.

“How deep are the enemy soldiers buried over there by the chopper?”

“Oh, about six feet,” Frank said. “We have a backhoe.”

“Alright. If you guys decide to stay here, you’ll need to dig those bodies up, pour gasoline all over them, and burn them.
