CHAPTER 15
Boulder, WY
âWe have to warn Shawn heâs walking into a trap,â Grace said while still peering through the binoculars. That isnât a sleepy town, itâs crawling with enemy forces.â To her point, a small propeller aircraft flew about a hundred feet above her head. âOn the ground and in the air.â
Asher looked distractedly at the aircraft, then turned back to her. âMaybe Shawn and his people will see the same thing?â
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 didnât seem likely. There were a few rolling hills leading up to that side of the town, so theyâd have to get very close before they saw the place in any detail.
Candyâs voice came from behind her. âWhat do you want us to do, boss?â
Grace tensed up. She hadnât 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. âDoes anyone have military experience?â
The older gentleman, Carson, raised his hand. She pointed to him. âWhat would you do? I want to get down there before my friends arrive, so they know the place is dangerous. We canât drive in through the front, can we?â
Carson chewed on his lip. âWell, I canât 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.â
âBut youâve seen war happen, didnât you?â Asher probed.
âWell, sure. You gather overwhelming force. Strike in the middle of the night. Decapitate the enemy before they even know youâre there.â
She couldnât do any of that.
Carson went on. âBut here, I think we have to take a different approach.â
âSo, not a direct assault,â she said to herself.
Asher picked up on her thought. âWhat if we attack slowly?â
Carson laughed, as did a few others.
Grace was more restrained, but still smiled at him.
He continued. âItâs 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.â
It did make some sense, but she wasnât sure how it applied to Boulder. Unlessâ¦
She took a stab at a plan. âThis is a public road, right? We havenât seen any cars traveling for a long time, but the highway isnât closed. There havenât been any Keep Out signs.â
Candy raised her hand and spoke. âThe only other vehicles weâve seen were these.â She pointed to the trucks belonging to Carson and Rocky.
Grace got into a groove. âRight. So, it would stand to reason these men would return this way after doing their time at the roadblock, right?â
Carson became a bit agitated. âOh, no, you donât mean we drive on down there?â
The redheaded woman giggled mischievously. âWeâll be watching from up here.
