CHAPTER 15

Boulder, WY

“We have to warn Shawn he’s walking into a trap,” Grace said while still peering through the binoculars. That isn’t a sleepy town, it’s crawling with enemy forces.” To her point, a small propeller aircraft flew about a hundred feet above her head. “On the ground and in the air.”

Asher looked distractedly at the aircraft, then turned back to her. “Maybe Shawn and his people will see the same thing?”

She faced the dust plumes coming out of the mountains to the east. They were still too far away to determine if they had a line-of-sight to the town. From her position, however, it didn’t seem likely. There were a few rolling hills leading up to that side of the town, so they’d have to get very close before they saw the place in any detail.

Candy’s voice came from behind her. “What do you want us to do, boss?”

Grace tensed up. She hadn’t planned on being in charge of the whole group. Not when it came time to fire weapons. After getting to her feet, she looked for someone who might be able to help. “Does anyone have military experience?”

The older gentleman, Carson, raised his hand. She pointed to him. “What would you do? I want to get down there before my friends arrive, so they know the place is dangerous. We can’t drive in through the front, can we?”

Carson chewed on his lip. “Well, I can’t say I did anything truly dangerous in the service. Flew to Okinawa, once, but it was after Vietnam was all wrapped up. I was involved in supply.”

“But you’ve seen war happen, didn’t you?” Asher probed.

“Well, sure. You gather overwhelming force. Strike in the middle of the night. Decapitate the enemy before they even know you’re there.”

She couldn’t do any of that.

Carson went on. “But here, I think we have to take a different approach.”

“So, not a direct assault,” she said to herself.

Asher picked up on her thought. “What if we attack slowly?”

Carson laughed, as did a few others.

Grace was more restrained, but still smiled at him.

He continued. “It’s like when we approached the rock in Denver. We did it slowly, unnoticed, by using the tunnels. By the time they picked us out of the rubble, we were next to the rock. Angela was stealing it, in fact.”

It did make some sense, but she wasn’t sure how it applied to Boulder. Unless…

She took a stab at a plan. “This is a public road, right? We haven’t seen any cars traveling for a long time, but the highway isn’t closed. There haven’t been any Keep Out signs.”

Candy raised her hand and spoke. “The only other vehicles we’ve seen were these.” She pointed to the trucks belonging to Carson and Rocky.

Grace got into a groove. “Right. So, it would stand to reason these men would return this way after doing their time at the roadblock, right?”

Carson became a bit agitated. “Oh, no, you don’t mean we drive on down there?”

The redheaded woman giggled mischievously. “We’ll be watching from up here.
