Chapter 10

Mike seemed to have the same thought. “Stay here, I am going to scout around a little.”

Sam wanted to object. After the dream the idea of being here alone terrified him. He knew that Mike would mover better alone though, and that he would just be in the way.

“Okay” whispered Sam, “but don’t be gone too long.”

He could see mikes teeth gleam in the moonlight as he smiled, and then he moved off quietly. Sam was again amazed at the man. He could see him moving through dry leaves, but he couldn’t hear a sound.

‘Remind me to never piss off a marine’ he thought to himself.

The bugs were out, and they were eating Sam alive. Twenty minutes had passed by his guess since Mike went to take a look around. Sam was starting to get worried.

Sam waited another 30 minutes of bug bitten hell and decided something was wrong. He decided it was time to do something. He rose as quietly as possible to his feet, and started off in the direction Mike had gone. Every time he put his foot down, leaves crackled like thunder, and sticks broke like gunshots. He knew his mind was exaggerating these sounds, but it still worried him that anything with in twenty miles could hear his clumsy attempt at stealth.

He wandered for a few minutes until he saw they road. He eased out, and standing in the tree line, looked up and down the road, straining his eyes, but seeing nothing.

He decided he would give Mike ten more minutes, and then start working his way down the side of the road. He knew if he stayed in the tree line and out of the moonlight, he would be almost invisible from people far away, but he could still see people coming down the road.

Mikes ten minutes passed and he was debating giving him ten more when he heard a rustle behind him. Sam whirled and saw a hulking shape of a man three feet behind him, arms raised and holding a club. The club arced down towards his head and caught him in the forehead. His vision flared into a sudden bright light, and he had time to think “fucking figures” as the darkness took him again.

Sam found himself standing at the tower. The day was hot as the sun beat down on him. He was confused as to how he had gotten here, and where everyone else was. He looked around him, everything seemed normal. He walked over to the door to the house and slowly pushed it open.
