Chapter 9: Spiraling Down

The sleek fighter jet banked to the south and became a tiny point in moments. The noise and surprise had sent him into the weeds. He found his feet just as Victoria found hers.

“What was that all about?” she shouted.

He took in the mine and the surrounding cliffs and hills. He could see a way down, but they'd have to continue along the cliff for another few hundred yards. Or they could go back.

“I don't know.” He grabbed her hand. “Let's go. We can leave them behind and do this ourselves.”

She hesitated for a moment, but seemed to relent. “Yeah, I guess that makes sense.” But she was clearly torn. She paused after only a handful of steps. “I...I don't know. What if we need help? What if they go looking for us?”

Liam let go of her, appreciating her concerns. “They'll figure we went to the mine, just like we told them.” He hadn't even convinced himself.

“No, we have to tell someone. Just so I can sleep at night.”

He doubted anything would help him sleep at night, but she was right.

“OK, we'll find the captain and tell him we'll be on our way.”

She perked up at that, and she pulled him this time.

They'd walked along the edge of the cliff for several minutes when Blue and Pink appeared ahead, running in their direction.

When they met, the girls pointed in the direction they were already moving. “We're leaving. Just go!” They each carried their crude weapons.

Liam was unsure. “We have to tell the captain where we're going.”

“Trust me, the captain isn't who you think. We have to run.” They didn't wait. Liam watched them get lost in the underbrush.

“OK, this is weird.”

Victoria agreed, but had no brilliant ideas.

“Follow?” He was inclined to follow them, if only because they were more pleasant than the captain. Whatever that man had going on with Jason, the look in their eyes during their brief exchange earlier told him they were both driven men.

She nodded, and they began to trot after the girls.

They caught up at almost the same point they'd been overlooking the pit mine earlier. When he reached the clearing, he searched the sky for more planes.

“We're going down in that mine to look for clues about the zombie plague.” The literal truth fell out of his mouth before he was able to stop himself.

The girls both turned to him with a smile. “As long as you keep the captain away from us, we're with you.”

“Why? What's wrong with the captain? Why were you so chummy with him?” He eyed Blue.

“Run with us, and I'll tell you.” She and Pink started along the cliff edge, heading around the outside of the mine toward the far side where they could descend to the first level of the spiral road to the bottom.

The girls were small for teens, but they were quick. Though Pink seemed to lag, she wasn't struggling. Liam's overactive imagination began to wonder if she was sandbagging earlier just so he would help her up those rocks.
