Chapter 29

There are twelve men. Twelve soldiers. Some are shirtless and covered in camouflage paint. Some are dressed in full desert style uniform. Some are wearing bullet proof vests. They are all wearing gas masks. The man who appeared to be their leader takes his mask off. His face is covered in green and black camouflage paint. He is covered in sweat. He is breathing hard.

“Nobody move a goddamn muscle,” the leader says. “We have you in our sights and we have the high ground. Do. Not. Move.”

These men have no doubt just cleared out the entire horde of infected that were located right throughout the holding cells, and the interrogation rooms, and the administration offices.

They have been working hard. Working up a sweat. Killing is a tough job.

I wonder if they encountered the rogue nano-swarm that is now on the loose.

I raise my hands as a reflex. Jack and Kim do the same. I tense up as I feel the smoking barrels of the death squad’s guns pointed at my head and chest.

Ben has not raised his hands. He hasn’t even lowered his shotgun.

Neither has Thomas or Harry.

“Drop your weapons,” the leader of the death squad says. “No need to get in a fire fight. It will not end well for you.”

Ben reluctantly places his shotgun on the ground.

Thomas stands defiant. So does Harry.

This is not a smart move.

This is downright idiotic.

“How do we know you won’t just kill us?” Thomas shouts up at the death squad. “What guarantee do we have?”

“We are trained professionals,” the leader says. “We’re not in the business of shooting and killing innocent people.”

He says this with a smirk on his face and I get the feeling he is lying through his teeth.

Thomas is still hesitating. His gun is still raised and armed.

One of the soldiers turns on his infra-red laser sight. A red dot appears on Thomas’s forehead.

Another red dot appears on Harry’s forehead.

Ben tries to help Thomas and Harry. Tries to save their lives. “Do what they say, Thomas. You can’t win this. We have no choice but to do what they say.”

But Thomas is not willing to budge. “This is bullshit. How do we know you are who you say you are?”

“You don’t,” the leader answers. “But if we wanted to kill you, you’d be dead by now. All of you.”

And I believe him. One hundred percent. These guys are the General’s best men. They are the Special Forces soldiers that enforced his rules and his law when this facility, this Fortress, and this entire nation became cut off from the rest of the world. These guys are the muscle. They are the weapons. The spear head. The hammer.

Had they killed?

You better believe it.

Both Ben and Doctor Hunter had warned Maria and I when we first arrived here, that these guys had started killing people. They had started killing the civilians and all non-essential personnel. They were rounding them up and slaughtering them. This is how they had earned the title of ‘death squad’.
