Burke’s black Ford Fusion raced across Interstate 20, with one hundred miles left to reach Dallas. They had passed several National Guard checkpoints that slowed traffic to an unimaginable degree on the otherwise open stretch of road. What they had so far experienced driving east, however, paled in comparison to the westbound traffic. People were evacuating the state in droves. The numerous terror warnings had the population on edge and hundreds of thousands of people fearing for their lives in the wake of the festival bombings.

Rather than evacuating like so many on the opposite side of the interstate, Angela, Burke, and Martinez were headed straight into the heart of danger. Their only hope was that they’d get to the power plant in time. Imminent risk surrounded them at every turn. Though Angela and Burke were apparently on the FBI’s radar, they hadn’t warranted any notice at the checkpoints, and were waved through by National Guard soldiers—many of them young and seemingly overwhelmed by all the activity.

They had a tremendous task ahead of them, with no guaranteed outcome of success. In any other circumstance, Angela would flee from danger, out of concern for her family. But the attacks, she believed, wouldn’t stop with any particular city or state. They had to face ISIS head-on, or the threat would follow them wherever they relocated. Part of her, however, wanted justice for Doug. Perhaps more than any other reason.

During the lengthy drive, they had plenty of time to discuss their options and strategize. Once everything settled in, and Martinez realized what was at stake, he was taken with the cause and ready to do what was necessary to stop ISIS from carrying out their most heinous attack. He sat in the back seat, actively reaching out to every contact he had in the Outlaw militia. They wouldn’t be hard to convince, he explained. The Outlaws were always looking for a good fight. But there was no report on the numbers yet, who they could count on, and when they were expected to meet up.

Angela let him do his work as he made multiple phone calls and tried to explain the situation the best he could.

“Hudson, we need all the guys we can get,” he said, now on his third or fourth call. “Shit’s about to hit the fan real soon. We know where they’re going to strike, and it’s going to happen soon.” Martinez paused as a loud, uncompromising voice came through the phone. “Look, I understand a lot of people are leaving. But if they hit this nuclear plant, you’re not going to get far enough in time to escape the radiation. We have no other choice but to stop it.”

Angela sat in the passenger seat, watching the road ahead as traffic moved steadily along the four lanes—that was, until the next checkpoint. The gridlock on the eastbound interstate, separated by a dry canal, was a clear sign of what people were thinking. True fear was evident in every motorist they passed.
