Chapter thirty-three

I had to drive the tech sergeant’s truck with the windows down because of the acrid fumes wafting into the cab from the back. Halfway to the Clarrat farm to retrieve the Audi, I’d stopped and dug around in the back of the cab to find the blankets I’d seen earlier.

Crawling over the seat, I stuffed the covers into a hole in the cab’s window. It had been partially blown out, and bits of glass sparkled in the fabric below. Plugging it helped some, but the eye-watering smell still hung in the air.

When I’d looked into the back of the truck, I’d seen a mess. Items were strewn across the floor, and the bent door of a cage hung open at an awkward angle. Black scoring traced out from an area off to the side.

“Looks like a bomb went off back there,” I said, scrambling back behind the wheel. I got us moving again.

“Not bomb,” Kane said, wheezing as he spoke. “Battery.”

His little doggie eyes closed, and he told me how that had happened. I couldn’t help but smile. Part of me wished I’d seen it. Except for the part where the driver had gotten mauled. I’d seen the results of that and had no interest in the visual image of his final moments.

Once I got back to the road leading to the farm, I searched for the copse of trees where I’d hidden the car. Kane had either passed out or fallen asleep next to me. I let him rest as I searched. But I knew time was ticking down on us—undoubtedly, there’d be some sort of tracker on the truck.

Instinctively, I knew that would be true, but I wasn’t sure why. But I thought it was something that Gregor had said back in the tavern.

The bit about being an ant on the bottom of a boot on a ship in the ocean or whatever.

That implied their merry band of murderers was some small cog in some vast… I didn’t know. Organization? One of them had said the word “org.”

But if he were to be believed—that they were the little guys in a big machine—they would be beholden to a whole line of bosses and middlemen.

Whether that was a military or corporate outfit, I didn’t know. Those two organizational structures had grown more and more similar over the years, one much better armed than the other. But the military had good weapons too.

However, if they were pawns, then the king—or queen—would very likely monitor their every move. Hell, even UPS drivers got tracked by their bosses.

I had to ditch the truck fast.

Of course, I had to get rid of the tracker on my vehicle as well. I wasn’t sure if that would be enough, but hopefully, it would buy us the time to find a safe place for Kane to recover.

When I finally found the old Audi, I saw the first blood of daylight seep across the eastern horizon. As I quickly parked, I looked over at Kane in his pug dog form.
