Chapter 8

Back at The Outpost, everyone met Ishaq with excitement and relief.

Mark stood back and watched as everyone greeted Ishaq as if he had been on a three day expedition. The relief everyone displayed showed just how risky they thought his mission had been.

“Have we got any teabags? I could really do with a brew.” Ishaq announced as the excitement began to die down.

Scott instantly headed into the kitchen, the others took a seat in the living room and waited for Ishaq to recount what had happened. The anticipation hung in the air.

“Oh, sorry. Did you want to know what happened?” Ishaq teased. “I’ll wait for Scott.”

“I’m listening.” Scott shouted from the kitchen.

“Okay then. Well, I only met two of them and heard another voice over the radio. They made reference to two others but I’ve got a feeling that they’re part of a much larger group.”

“Friendly?” Helen asked.

“Yes and no. Two men, said their names were Adam and Chris. Wore full body armour the whole time, Adam kept hold of a rifle, looked like some kind of military machine gun type thing. Not in a hostile way, more like he didn’t want to risk putting it down incase I made a move for it. Didn’t say much, Chris did most of the talking. He wasn’t the first person I spoke to though.”

“Walk us through it.” Mark tried to steer Ishaq’s train of thought. “What happened when you got to the gate?”

“They have an intercom thing that I buzzed, pressed it a couple of times before I got an answer. A woman’s voice asked who I was and what I wanted. I told her my name was Ishaq and I’d gotten split up from you guys. Asked if I could come in for an hour or two while I tried to get in contact with you.”

“Did they let you in straight away?” Asked Mark.

“First she asked how I knew there was anyone inside. Caught me off guard a bit, so I just said that I’d heard a train and seen it on the tracks. Told her I’d tried one of the other warehouses but couldn’t find anyone, just zombies.”

“Nice cover. It would also explain the corpses if they decide to investigate.” Mark replied.

“I got buzzed through an airlock, first door shut before the second door opened. No one came out so I just kept walking. The door to the building had another intercom and a keypad. Before I pressed it I heard the door buzz unlocked, must have been watching me on camera. The door was a big heavy metal thing, small room inside with another heavy door opposite and another keypad. Like the first door, this one buzzed to indicate it was unlocked.”

“Sounds secure.” Said Scott as he reentered the living room with a hot drink for Ishaq.

“Yeah, it definitely was. Through the third door was a corridor, I waited where I was and Chris came through the door opposite. Didn’t smile or anything, introduced himself, said his name was Chris and I could wait inside.
