Chapter 20

Winslow, Arizona. April 13, 2029

The sun set at 1900 hours, quickly dropping to near blackness without any street lights or artificial illumination. Caleb and Gloria sat for a while longer to let any stragglers get themselves into the trap before they sprung. At 1930 hours the first infected bumped into the truck and just walked alongside it, ignoring the pair inside, instead heading for the front of the police station as it had every night.

“You feel that? That feels like more than a couple dozen inside the building. No matter, once we blow down a couple walls, that’ll reduce the numbers inside. You want to cover me and I’ll set the explosives?” Caleb asked, feeling the beginning of an adrenalin rush.

Gloria sat quietly for a minute, appearing to be almost asleep, then perked her head up. “Let’s get this over with.” She unclasped her hands and pulled out her .45, giving it a quick check. “Don’t even say it! I know better but if they try to send someone out on a suicide trip I plan to send them on their way.”

Kicking open the driver’s door, she jumped to the ground as a pair of infected came near. Both were drawn to her and she stood still, not sure what to do next. She heard the passenger door slam shut and then Caleb softly growled at the two infected, both deciding then to move on. Caleb grabbed the first explosive from the truck bed and motioned Gloria to follow him as he walked alongside the building. He gave a last look as he turned the corner and, walking to the nearest window, set the explosive under it and then snapped the chemical detonator. Caleb knew he had ten minutes to get the other bomb in place and get back into the safety of the truck. He looked at the infected milling around the front door and felt a pang of remorse for those who would die tonight. Caleb turned the corner and ran for the truck. He then snapped the detonator for the second bomb before heading to the back of the building, wanting both to go off nearly at the same time. He ran almost to the end of the building, setting the explosives next to the garage door to increase the lethality of the explosion, before turning and running back to the truck, Gloria only steps behind him.

“I don’t know how bad the explosions are going to be so let’s roll down the windows and keep our heads down until they both go off. Keep your mouth open in case there’s any concussion wave coming our way. I’m pretty sure the building should absorb it all.”

Caleb bent over as far as he could go, his head was resting on Gloria’s head. He could sense an inner calm coming from her and it made him feel more at peace himself. He was beginning to lose some of his nervousness when the first explosive went off. The corner of the police station collapsed while the ground around them shook like a giant train was driving by.
