CHAPTER 6 – Gardens in the Sky

COBRA DAWN

"You've never seen a black guy?" asked Hero as he shook his head in surprise. "Well, you picked a hell of a specimen to start with." He held out his arms and turned in a circle for Hailey.

"I think I saw a dead one," I said.

He looked at me with a raised brow and crooked smile. "What?"

"A man with black skin like yours fell from the ceiling inside the facility today."

Hero nodded and pointed up at the sky. "Must be niggers from heaven, babe. Maybe God's dropping them down for lonely white girls these days."

"What?" I asked. "I didn't understand some of the words you used."

"Nothing, don't worry about it. Although you're going to see another dead black guy in a minute if we don't hurry up and get in the truck. We need to get out of here before they send reinforcements. I don't know why they wanted to kill you two, but whatever the reason, it makes you my friends."

Hailey reached out to him and then retreated her hand as if afraid he might shock her if they touched. He smirked at her and said, "What is it, kid?"

She bashfully said, "Can I touch your hair?"

He bent over so that she could easily reach his head. "Sweetheart, I'll let you touch whatever the hell you want on me. All you've got to do is ask."

Hailey put her fingertips on his stubbly hair and bit her bottom lip as she glanced my way. "It feels weird."

"We should go," I said as I walked toward the truck. I stopped beside the dead man and knelt down to take his weapon. There was a strap over his shoulder and I started to pull it out from under him when Hero took the weapon from me.

"Hold on, honey. Have you ever used a gun like this before?"

I shook my head and stepped back to let him take the weapon. "Today is the first time I've ever seen a gun."

"Man, they had you girls locked up tight in there, didn't they?"

"We've never been to the surface before," said Hailey as she looked up at the sky. "It's so much bigger than I imagined. It's beautiful though."

"It's not all pretty, babe," said Hero. "But stick with me and I'll show you all sorts of great shit." He opened the truck and then yelled out in surprise. "Fuck me!"

"What's wrong?" I asked as I walked closer.

"There's a dude with his brains blown out in here." He hopped back down and pointed to the cab of the truck. "There's enough room in there that I can drive without getting blood and brains all over me, but you two might want to ride in the back. I've got a friend waiting for me about a mile away with a jeep. We just need to get out to her and we can dump the truck there. These fuckers have a habit of tracking their trucks, in case any of them get ambushed.
