CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

“In the history of dumb ideas this has got to be the dumbest,” said Bower facing Zach, Raj and Fiona. “You don’t even know if it’s going to work!”

“Wyatt and Miles tell me they can do it, but we gotta be in and out of there within a few hours, any longer than that and we won’t be hidden to the E.L.F’s anymore.”

Diaz pulled back the curtain in the apartment they were all in. The sun was starting to dip below the horizon. “To be sure, you need me to come with you as well.”

“You need to stay here to protect the others,” said Zach.

“We can protect ourselves, although if we have to come after you to pull your asses out, then things might get antsy,” said Bower. “But, I still think it’s the wrong call. With all greatest respect to the doctor here, what use is all the data in the world if you’re dead?”

Raj cleared his throat. “I also have the latest prototype of my audio device with me, it’s proved quite effective in the tests we have run.”

Bower shook his head.

Zach put his hand on Bower’s shoulder. “We both know there’s something going on in that city, and the doctor can maybe tell us what it is. This could be real important Cole. We’ll be on comms, so you can track us all the way.”

“Okay. Make sure you stock up on the grenades, explosive and stun.”

Zach smiled. “Wouldn’t leave here without them.” He then turned to Fiona. “Ready?”

She picked up her pack and her rifle. “Yup.”

They all walked down the narrow stairs and out back to the parking lot. Gray clouds were beginning to roll in amongst an otherwise clear blue and orange sky.

“Few hours and we should be back,” said Zach to a somewhat somber looking crowd headed by Bower.

“I just get here and you’re heading out on a mission without me!” said Michael.

“They’ll be plenty of others to risk your life on,” said Fiona getting into the driver’s seat in the turreted Humvee.

Zach got into the passenger’s seat, while Diaz stood up in the main gun’s position, and Miles, Wyatt and Raj squeezed in the back.

“All ready doctor?” said Zach to Raj who was sitting awkwardly between the others, with a small bag in his lap.

“Yes.”

“How are things looking for E.L.F’s, anyone sensing anything locally?”

“Nothing near us,” said Wyatt, before Miles could respond.

Fiona started the engine, and they pulled away.

Zach switched on a small flashlight and pointed it down at the map of the area. “Keep to this road, then we take a left after a few turns. We need to get on the nineteen,” he said to Fiona.

Soon they were on the four-lane road surrounded by hills, which headed north into Pittsburgh.

As the gloom increased Fiona turned on the Humvee’s headlights, setting them to low.

In the back Raj pulled out what looked like a black plastic handgun, but with a sphere where the barrel should be.

“That’s an interesting looking gun?” said Miles trying to see what the strange looking device was in the almost complete dark around him.
