NEAR LIBERAL, KANSAS

FEBRUARY 13TH

The Stryker bumped and rattled as it turned down one of the many roads leading around the countryside. They were on a circuitous route to the Campbell farm. Jake had shown Sergeant Turner the location on his map and the grizzled NCO input the coordinates into their Blue Force Tracker system. Once they were input, he turned the column of vehicles in the opposite direction. There were far too many infected around to go directly to the farm, so they would try to trick and confuse them by taking every back road marked on the map.

After some discussion with the platoon sergeant, he’d agreed to have everyone turn off their BFTs until they could sort out what was happening down at Fort Bliss and with the foreign troops on American soil. That had been over an hour ago and they were navigating off a paper map that the lead truck had picked up during one of their fuel stops the previous day.

Jake looked at the strange survivors seated across from him. The American had his head resting on the wall and his mouth open. The man had materialized out of the snow only a few minutes after a pistol fired twenty or thirty shots inside the terminal. He was shirtless and shoeless, heavily muscled, and wore thin hospital pants. He had a reddish beard that looked odd on his Asian features.

Guy was some sort of government contractor or something. He didn’t really go into details, but he was confused about where he was and even what month it was. He’d said something about being in Brazil on a mission and then suddenly ended up here. Pretty wild story. He seemed legitimately shocked to learn that the infected ruled the United States now. Everything that Jake had heard before he went AWOL made it sound like it was that way worldwide.

The one shining light out of the entire ordeal was that Grady had one of the Iranians in tow when he showed up and told him that Colonel Albrecht had taken his own life after emptying two 15-round magazines into the infected. Everything else about this mission was a complete clusterfuck.

So much for Sua Sponte, he groaned—which reminded him about the other major problem he had. There were about thirty soldiers riding around in a column of Strykers. And apparently, those soldiers had come north to arrest him. What did that mean when they got to the farm?

The whine of the diesel engine changed pitch once more, indicating that they were slowing down. The vehicle turned sharply and went up a slight rise, and then he heard the sound of the big wheels going over a cattle guard set in the driveway. They’d arrived.

He reached out and tapped Grady. “Time to wake up, man. We’re here.”

The contractor came alert instantly, wiping at the corners of his mouth. He reached over and nudged the Iranian. “Taavi, we’re here, bro.” The Iranian blinked away the sleep in his eyes.
