Chapter 25

“We should be goin’ now. It’s dangerous out here and it’s gettin’ late,” Raz recommended.

Cody looked around at the death they had caused. The scene was surreal, like a late night action movie where the good guys had just won a small battle against evil. But the losses had far outweighed the victory, and the war was only beginning. “Let’s take the Hummer,” he suggested.

“That’s a damn good idea, Cody. These guys won’t be needin’ it no more,” Raz growled. “We might be able ta outrun other patrols if we run inta ‘em and the truck will be useful travelin’ through the desert.”

“Sounds good,” Cody agreed. “Let’s transfer our load into the back.”

The men took five minutes unloading the Chevy. They lugged the cans of gas and the jugs of water to the back of the carrier’s cargo bed and secured them. The sleeping bags, boxes of food, duffel bags, and the rest of the supplies were thrown into the military vehicle’s back seat. Raz shut his pickup down, turned off its lights, and removed the keys which he pocketed. He then grabbed his papers and maps.

Raz stopped for a second, then retrieved a gas can from the Humvee. He opened it and poured a few gallons of fuel on his beloved Chevy pickup, dousing the inside seats, the engine hood, and the empty bed.

“No need leavin’ the truck for someone else.” He took out his pistol ready to shoot the old piece of shit truck and ignite the fire. Then he thought it better to drive a safer distance before blowing it up. He bent over the dead soldiers and retrieved their rifles and side arms, and threw them in the Hummer. “Can always use the extra power,” he smirked.

The two looked at Nick, and with their eyes saluted their goodbyes. “I’ll save your family,” Cody whispered his promise.

“All secure, Cody. Let’s go.”

Cody went to the driver’s side of the Humvee. Raz gave him a strange gaze. “What ya think ya doin’ boy?”

“I’m driving this beast,” Cody answered with commitment.

Raz shook his head. “No ya ain’t. Not yet. I know where we’re goin’. Ya’ll git ya chance later.”

Cody gave in to the old man without complaining and moved to the passenger side. Perhaps Raz was right. He hadn’t been wrong yet, Cody thought.

The engine was still running. Raz climbed into the bulky vehicle and settled into the driver’s bucket seat. The interior was warm from the humming heater. He found the light switches and flicked off the overhead beams. Maintaining a low profile was still his best bet. He was familiar with the vehicle, but never had one of his own.

“I think I’m in love,” Raz chimed as he got comfortable.

“One of the best high mobility multi-purpose vehicles ever built,” he said, slamming the steering wheel. “Camouflaged and low profile ta hinder detection, sixteen inch ground clearance for rugged territory, wide wheel base for low center of gravity stability runnin’ on thirty-seven inch run-flat tires, turbo-charged V-8 diesel
