The Coachman

-------------------------------------------悪魔死--------------------------John pulled the key from his pocket and stared at it. He turned it over several times in his hand and looked at Shanna and Derek.

“Are you guys ready for this?” he whispered.

“Damn right,” Derek answered.

“Ready,” Shanna said. “I’m sorry for being such a hard ass before.”

John and Derek looked at her and nodded.

“Don’t worry about it,” Derek said. “To pull this off we have to work as a team.”

“I get it...” Shanna said looking both in the eye. “I really am sorry. It’s either lash out or cry. And you guys are not going to see me cry...”

“Forget about it,” Derek said.

Unlocking the gate John stepped out onto the side walk, checked the area and motioned for the others to follow.

“Ok no turning back,” John said. “Single file. Shanna you’re in the middle. You scan the sides. Derek, you have the rear. I’ll be up front.”

“Our rally point is here,” Derek said. “We’re not traveling that far. If we get separated or something happens make your way back to the gate.”

“Right...” John said. “Lets move. Talk in whispers, be as quiet as possible and safeties on...”

The three set out down Meeting Street. The pace slow but steady. Their footsteps seemed amplified.

They passed the body of the suicide gomer from earlier. Each looking down for a second as they passed. Shanna felt a shiver up her spine and wondered if maybe she should have stayed back with the others.

“I would feel safer on the sidewalk,” Shanna whispered. “Instead of out here in the middle of the street.”

“It’s better to travel out here,” Derek said. “We have more room to maneuver and time to react if something jumps out at us.”
