Chapter 16

Reisner grabbed his backpack, laying out a stack of magazines and several grenades on the table. “Get moving.”

“What about you?” said Nash. “This isn’t the Alamo.”

“I have no intention of dying here. Once I see you’re up top on that plateau, I’ll blow this place and be right on your heels while you guys provide cover.”

“No need to go down with the ship, William,” muttered Andre, grunting as he moved the couch near the fireplace. He yanked open a wooden panel in the floor and lowered his two backpacks down. “History has repeatedly demonstrated that the castle mentality of holding out against superior forces does not work. There are times when it is better to simply run.”

He shimmied down into the narrow passage, his head sticking up. Reisner strode over and knelt down beside him. “You didn’t think to mention this earlier.”

“It was my back-up plan for getting away from you if things went south between us.”

“I wouldn’t rule that out yet.” Reisner peered down into the inky tunnel, which reeked of mold and rotting leaves. “Where does this go exactly?”

“South—literally, back down the hill for sixty feet, not far off from your truck.”

Reisner snapped his fingers. “Alright—Porter and Nash, follow him out. Jackson and Higgins, you go next. Connelly and I will take up a position in the corner windows and start sniping the Claymores as the drones get closer.”

As the others climbed into the passage, Reisner ran out to the porch and fixed his sights on the canopy of spruce trees above while Connelly moved to his right and centered her rifle sights on the Claymore mine tripwires they had come across earlier.

Reisner saw the branches above beginning to rustle as several drones leapt like monkeys from tree to tree. He took aim and sniped the first ones near the edge of the field, but they were soon replaced by several more. He knew there was an unending stream of more drones to take their place, but they only had to hold them off long enough for the others to get out of the tunnels.

“Start on the Claymores,” he yelled to Connelly above the constant barrage of gunfire. He dropped out a magazine and slid another into his AR, continuing to blast the frenzied creatures that were now bounding through the treetops. He saw several drop down to his right and sprint across the field and out of sight.

“Shit, contacts at my three o’clock.” He ran to the side of the porch and shot two creatures in the head within thirty feet, then saw another spring in the air from behind a woodpile. He caught it in the shoulder but it dropped and thrashed for a second before coming up in a full run. Reisner fired off two rounds into the chest as it zig-zagged towards him, then finished it with a shot to the forehead as it slid on the grass a few feet from the porch.

He heard the treeline erupting as the Claymores exploded, and several spruce trees crashed to the ground.
