“Take a seat. We have a lot to discuss,” Colonel Cornwell said and gestured at the seats around the table.

“Come on, Ash,” Mars said. “Let’s get you seated.” He took Ash in his strong arms, and I watched him carry her to one of the seats. I was still staring when he turned over his shoulder and said, “Bring the coffee.” I forced myself to wake up out of this idiotic state. This wasn’t the time. I grabbed the two mugs and set one down in front of Mars. Instead of taking the seat next to him, I moved around the table and took the one next to Ash, which seemed like an even dumber idea because now I had to look straight at him.

The general seated himself at the head of the table and the colonel slid in next to him. Dr. Matley sat on the right side of General Whitfield, next to Angie, Ash, and then me, but she didn’t stay seated for long. She motioned at the soldier sitting behind the desk to dim the lights.

“Maybe we should start by informing our guests a little about what’s happening, before you begin,” Whitfield said as the lights dimmed. Dr. Matley motioned again at the soldier at the desk, and the lights went up again.

“My apologies,” she said with a red-tinged face. It pleased me I wasn’t the only person able to embarrass myself. The doctor cleared her throat and sat down.

“Yes, and perhaps you should also apologize for what transpired in the lab,” Whitfield said. He looked pointedly at Dr. Matley as he waited for her to speak. The doctor seemed shocked, but quickly composed herself and nodded.

“Again, my apologies,” she said.

Addressing the room Whitfield said, “It seemed Dr. Matley became a little too eager after learning Dr. David Warren’s favorite test subjects have come into our midst.”

The mention of Dr. David’s name felt as if someone punched me in the gut. Next to me, Ash shifted uncomfortably in her seat and across from me Mars’ face hardened.

Whitfield leaned forward, folding his hands on top of the table. “I’m sorry,” he said, “I know the remark is inappropriate, but that is how we have come to know you.”

A similar feeling that had risen up during my confrontation with Matley stirred inside me, but I kept my mouth shut. It didn’t seem like good idea to chastise the general of a military base.

“Colonel Cornwell will explain,” Whitfield said.

From that point, the colonel took over. The bald man with the permanent frown started with a little backstory on how Cheyenne Mountain had survived the initial outbreak, which didn’t seem like much of an achievement because the place was built for situations like these. He explained their standing orders that were also what they always did: observe the homeland and abroad skies for any threats. It got more interesting when he started to mention the discord creating a rift within the government.

“They’ve split right down the middle—one side, including the president,
