CHAPTER 19 - MURPHY

I had lost track of time. Ever since the attack at the bunker I hadn’t stopped thinking of ways to bust out of the heavily armed prison that they had erected. The fencing was eight feet high with barbed wire along the top. They had separated men from women but I could still see Shaw wandering around a few yards away. I watched as the guards came each day and removed two or three women. They would be gone for an hour or two and then they would be returned. Sometimes they had fresh bruising on their faces, other times they were in tears. I didn’t want to imagine what they were doing but I had an idea.

War brought out the worst in people. It was the lack of oversight by anyone that made the few do whatever the hell they liked. And it was only a few.

Those I’d served alongside in the military were good men. They had a moral compass even if they were willing to kill to protect our country. No one in the team ever overstepped the line and killed for the pure heck of it. But I had seen it. Long before joining the SEALs I had served two tours as a Marine, that’s where I had first met Dan. Both of us had been in the same training class and though Dan later went on to become a Ranger, our friendship never faded. It had been forged in the heat of battle.

Contrary to popular belief, a SEAL’s strength is found with his team. Strip that away and a SEAL could be resourceful and survive but they wouldn’t thrive the way they did when they worked with the others. That was what had been drilled into us from the first day of boot camp. It didn’t matter how much muscle you had, how smart you thought you were, if you didn’t work together you didn’t come home.

I sat picking at the dusty ground, looking at the others. An older man sat nearby feeding a mouse some of the food they had given us. It was minimal, just enough to keep us alive. All attempts at escaping were pointless. If the barbed wire on the first fence didn’t cut up a person, they were shot before they got over the second. These guys knew what they were doing when they built this enclosure. I had seen badges for FEMA and had spoken to one of them. The guy was hesitant to talk at first but eventually he opened up and told me that their group was made up of deserters, ex-FEMA employees and Army Reserves.

“They did us a favor setting off those bombs.” The guard stood beside the fence smoking a cigarette. “The way I see it, this would have eventually happened. This whole country was like a stack of cards just waiting to be blown over. It didn’t matter who did it. There are so many groups that are against the government and the way they run this country.
