Mike Journal Entry 7

Can’t say the next morning I was chipper, or even anything that could be compared to that mood, but there’s something about the fresh light of day that can chase the shadows in your soul away, or at least make them retreat into the corners. I’d gone downstairs and outside, and was doing an obligatory walk around the block.

“I know you’re there.”

“Only because I wanted you to know,” Tommy said, coming out from the building where Overland had staged his mission.

“You tailing me?”

“Just keeping an eye out.”

“Something I should know?”

“Probably, Mr. T, but if I told you, would you listen to my advice?”

“I mean, maybe.”

He kept staring at me.

“Fine, no. Was thinking of heading to the hospital today.”

“For what purpose?”

“Visit Major Dylan. Again with the staring? Fine. And to size up the defenses around Dewy and Springer. Why are you still staring?” He kept it up for another few seconds.

“I figured if I kept doing it, you’d admit to something else.”

“You been talking to Tracy?”

He laughed then we walked in silence as the base around us was bustling with a nervous urgency. The stink of the damned was already settling upon us. We’d be at war again soon. It seemed that, in our desire to save our species, we had instead hastened our demise. Amazing how many times Man had tinkered with nature and then fallen back in stunned silence as our hubris, intermingled with our ignorance, had blown up in our faces. I mean seriously; we’re the same species that created a website devoted to the most unusual and stupid ways people have died. Says a lot; never really seen a tiger bite the dust by welding his testicles to a train car.

“The major’s office is that way,” Tommy told me as we entered the hospital.

“Don’t want anyone to see us together,” I told him as we went in the opposite direction.

“Oh, I bet that was her call.”

“You realize if I wanted to catch shit all day, I would have asked BT to come along.”

“Just picking up the slack, Mr. T. Where to?”

“Top floor. That way, Dewey can broadcast his signal better,” I said sourly.

Upstairs was nearly devoid of all people, making our visit even more questionable. We’d just rounded a corner when four armed guards came towards us. Couldn’t run without raising suspicion.

“Lieutenant Talbot. Can’t say it’s a pleasure to see you, but we were warned you’d make an appearance.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t do autographs,” I told him as they walked up and encircled us.

“I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

“What’s with all the ninja outfits lately?” I asked no one in particular. He, like the other three, were in all-black uniforms with no names or insignia. “This is like Imperial Japan.”

“Don’t.” Tommy shook his head.

“I’m just distracting them while…” I drove my left elbow square into the jaw of the man who’d been talking. There was a part of me that felt bad when I heard the crack and I’m being honest when I hoped it was just a tooth and not his jaw.
