Chapter 11

Walker County, Texas

“We need a car.”

Warren Keegan snorted, looking over the group of now ex-prisoners crowded around him. “We need a couple busses is what we need, but we’ll make do. Hey, Sparky, you think you can take out a driver without toasting the car?”

“Don’t call me that,” the newly named “Sparky” grumbled. “But sure. I think.”

“Don’t think. Do it,” Keegan growled, causing Sparky to fall back from the big man.

“I’ll get it done, no problem.” The smaller man nodded feverishly.

The group consisted of mostly Ravens, along with a few non-affiliated criminals they’d picked up during the breakout. The members of the Machine had gone another direction, though not after a few violent exchanges that showed Keegan both that their rival gang had also been affected by whatever the hell it was that had gifted him and some of his brothers with abilities to rival the craziest stuff he’d ever seen in Hollywood, but also that there were still some pretty hard feelings…truce be damned.

Well, I suppose that will make the next clash between us a lot more interesting, Keegan thought, almost eagerly looking forward to seeing just how the Machine would compare to what he and his could now accomplish.

It was going to be awesome.

“Here comes a truck,” one of the members said, looking down the road. “Tractor trailer.”

Keegan looked, but didn’t see anything. He didn’t question it, though, since enhanced senses seemed to be another one of the strange effects they had encountered.

“Okay,” he said, “everyone get ready. Sparky, I want the truck stopped, but not destroyed. Got it?”

“Got it,” Sparky growled, getting ready.

“Everyone else, get the driver out as soon as the truck stops. We’ve got our ride.”

“Bad news, Colonel,” Alex said. “They cleared out. There’s not a damn soul anywhere in this place.”

Pierce took a moment to respond. “I’ve sent out the update. What about the guards?”

“Blood I’ve got, but no bodies,” Alex said grimly. “I don’t know what happened in here, Colonel. I’ve never seen anything like this.”

“God damn it. We missed something. All those tests and we missed something,” Pierce snarled.

“Ya think?”

“Get back here,” she ordered him. “We’ve still got DNA samples to work from, but we may need a live subject to—”

“I am not your guinea pig, Colonel,” Alex warned darkly.

“Relax, Captain, I’m not talking about dissecting you,” she said, exasperated. “I doubt that would reveal much anyway. Blood and tissue samples, you know the drill. You know we have to do this, Captain Hale.”

Alex grimaced, but nodded. “Alright I’m coming in. Don’t expect me to be a live-in science project, however, Colonel. I have a life, and it’s not like we’re putting the lid back on this mess anyway.”

“You’re telling me,” Pierce grumbled. “We’re packing everything up now anyway. We’re going to shift to Fort Hood. I’m sure you know the way. The 48th has most of the facilities we need, and we’ll bring in the rest.”

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there,” Alex said, though the Marine in him offered the requisite complaint about venturing onto an Army base in the back of his mind.
