Major Bradley stood next to the Gulfstream’s retractable stairs, arms folded, staring down at the walkie in his hand. Stephen had given him a fairly vague sketch of what was happening inside the base and it didn’t sound good. He trusted Stephen’s judgment and if he was planning to evacuate, that was good enough for him. His priority was getting Malcolm and Dr. Sanderson together and the fact that he knew who had him and that he would be on his way here soon was at least moderately comforting.

Captain Morris had climbed aboard the plane to inform the pilot and passengers of the current situation. He had also given the green light to head outside if they needed some fresh air or to stretch their legs. Major Bradley looked up from his walkie to see Dr. Sanderson standing in the doorway. He waved him on down as he took a few steps away from the plane.

A minute later everyone was out of the plane and milling about the tarmac like nervous fathers in a delivery waiting room. Captain Bannon moseyed on over to the Major.

“This place got a fuel truck?” he asked.

Major Bradley looked around. He hadn’t spent much time at the airfield since arriving a few months ago. Most of the fuel on the base was used to run the generators. The Jet fuel could be used in the diesel generators, of which there were plenty. They had priority over the few aircraft that the base had left.

“I think most of the jet fuel was appropriated to run the generators,” Major Bradley answered. “But, feel free to look around … but not too far.”

The meaning behind the pilot’s question finally hit the Major.

“Are we low on fuel?”

“We got about three-quarters of a tank but it never hurts to fill up when you can,” Bannon answered with a smile as we walked off in search of a fuel truck.

Dr. Sanderson and his family were actually laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Catching up after a long separation. The Major had been married once, only briefly, as it became clear to both of them that he was, in fact, married to the army. They divorced amicably and no children were involved. They kept in touch for a while, even after she remarried, but he hadn’t heard from her in over four years. His father had passed away years ago and his mother had been enjoying retirement in Florida until the outbreak. She never made it out alive.

He checked the walkie one more time hoping Stephen would contact him soon. It just stared silently back at him. He was not good at idle waiting but unfortunately, it was all he had to do at the moment. He couldn’t risk leaving the airstrip.

Private Stevens was pacing in front of the plane, moving his assault rifle between his hands, when he stopped suddenly. A commotion could be heard emanating from behind one of the hangers, near the golf course. He leveled his weapon and took a few strides toward the noises.
